Lovely stuff, as usual - though initially thought Mount Pleasant track was third rail electric until I zoomed in and saw the sleepers. A modelling opportunity for someone, msybe?

Interesting to see the Lobitos oil storage tanks on the right. I don't recall seeing any photos of Lobitos rail tank wagons in Ireland, although they had some in GB.

Later, Lobitos merged with Burmah, who of course did have rail tank wagons in Ireland, though the terminal was in Cork and I don't think they ever ventured north of the border.

Super photos as ever! Thank you.

I particularly like the last one with tail traffic on the railcar set. The (distant) leading car is a Bulleid wedgehead.
