Nice pics Tom. I got 076 and the pockets myself today. The yellow container reminded me of the CIE ones from a distance. Has much been done with the mk3s?

[Riversuir226]

They haven t been touched yet but i'd say tommorow the destruction will start.

Man how i'd love to contact the Kteam paint all the ICR's orange, paint all the mk 3's silver and switch them around so that the icr's would go in the bin;)

Maybe there's a train enthusiast among them. It's a terrible waste, I always wondered what they would have looked like in silver.

Really enjoyed those photos. Thanks for posting. They tell a story. It's sad to see the minimalisation of Waterford station presumably due to the collapse in all forms of rail traffic. A mere shadow of its 60s glory days. Railways killed off the short lived commercial canals and now it seems motorways in turn are wiping out the railways. Some nice photos of your workbench also.

I have to agree with Noel's sentiments - one positive note is the extension to platforms 4/5 ( I assume the numbering remains the same).

Excellent collection - some really interesting stuff in there.

as a native of waterford ( county) I find it hard to look at the destruction of waterford station. I recently found my signalling survey of waterford from 1982, when I scan them Ill put them up on flickr

 

 

I recently completed a photographic survey of the building of claremorris , with the kind co-operation of IE heritage depot and local personnel. when I get a chance I'll put them up on flickr as well. ( 200 photos )

[Riversuir226]

Thanks for all the kind comments , a lot more pics added over the last few months.
