Glenderg Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If in a shop you ever asked for a "package of tayto and a tin of coke" you'll be transported back with these two fabulous photostreams. Some unique wagons, formations and buildings. http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmightycat/sets/72157626386375365/with/5635070130/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/38339202@N00/sets/72157632801087842/with/8490725236/ Ah, God be with the days...

Weshty Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Absolutely loving the junction signal with the tapered wood post base. A signal kit that I haven't covered, and that will be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The "liners" into Larne were really a few NIR containers carrying mail, tagged onto the back of railcars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 So what flavour Richie, if this was Dungeons and Dragons, would you be chaotic evil or Neutral Good Oh Des, shur don't ya know that politics is a no-no here. (Twas the fella out on the Ballysimon road that had the banner "last free corner of Ireland" I voted for Anyhoo, I've found a resource of photos that I thought worth sharing with you lads. The copyright is a bit dodge as I've seen many of these tagged on Flickr pages and such, but nonetheless, if you like your Class 80's NIR and CIE, supertrain, B&T, this should tickle your fancy. Click on the photos to get a large decent res version. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Ireland-/149337/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=ukbusphotos-ukrailphotos and for the steam enthusiast, narrow gauger, tramway fan, and everything in between, here's the global search link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Ireland-/149337/i.html Not all photos expand in detail, but it's just another resource for anyone searching for obscure topics that rarely shows up on traditional searches, like the big foot of Irish Railways, the E Classes.......Rich.

jhb171achill Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 "Party Rosette"? Glenderg, political comment ban notwithstanding, I will offer to be your election agent. And I will pay my water charges if the water is brought to southside Dublin in long trains of bogie tankers hauled by Lough Swilly tender engines.
