I have also uploaded a couple of Negs showing details of the Lough Swilly 4-8-4 T valve gear and rear bogie, a bit 'niche' but there may be somebody out there desperate for such details

In the pipeline I am working through a set of colour slides taken in June 1964 covering the UTA lines at that time; taken by someone on a private trip (not a railtour) so some interesting items so far with more to come.

 L&LSR 1948-CA Derry, Pennyburn 4-8-4t rear bogie yj012.

L&LSR 1950-xxCA 4-8-4t Valve gear. yj009.

Swilly photos rare and useful for modellers

Although they are AGFA slides rather than Kodachromes they are looking good. I have 63 so far and whilst most are the usual locations there are some different views at Warrenpoint, Finaghy, Lisburn etc and most feature trains rather than just loco portraits. More on the way hopefully together with a copy of the photographers records.

The shed seen at Letterkenny now a car park at the shopping centre in Letterkenny!

The big house across on the left is still there.

It was a good weekend Mike but not so good since, as apparently on the Saturday I was bitten by something on the hill above Tank Curve. What I thought was a scratch had turned in to a 4cm red circle by the following week and a quick trip to Casualty (5 min walk) resulted in a course of Anti-Biotics plus last week I have had my Covid and Flu Jabs! 

On with the Show!

I'd keep an eye on that bite. Might seem innocuous enough but sometimes long term consequences ensue.
