StevieB Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Sorry to say but I don’t believe it’s a J15 because of the drop in the running plate front and rear. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 The loco at Thurles may be a J9 possibly no 251. It looks the same as the picture in Colin Boocock's book Locomotive Compendium Ireland page 20. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambeg man Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I drove around that south Connemara area in 1989 and was amazed at how much of the infrastructure of the Clifden branch had survived. Bridges, station buildings, etc.. No industrial pressure over 60 years helps! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panelling suggests that but roof and possibly chassis suggest DSER…… I will delve. DSER six-wheelers were early casualties of the late 1940s clearout of old stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galteemore Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Brilliant. On the whole, CIE narrow gauge locos seem to have been kept quite clean up until those last few years. 12 looked very different in 1959 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have some more negs taken at the same time, this one shows the rear of Railcar 19's tail load as well as No 6 just arrived from Letterkenny towing a dead No 4 Wagon number is 316 originally Oldbury Carriage No 19 of 1893 and rebuilt as a van in 1927 according to Roger C's CDRJC Companion.

Irishswissernie Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Views from Alex Ford/Transport Library today. Inchicore Works, F6 41 , 28 June 1950. GNRI, 170 Amiens St. 25 June 1950 & Bundoran PG101 , 1June 1950. The Turntable pit has an unusual wall! I wonder if the turntable had been lengthened by a few feet at some time.

Galteemore Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Great stuff - looks like Enniskillen cleaners have been at 101! Think it’s 41, though, as she has brackets on tank front that 42 didn’t have.

Hi Ernie, Yes, I read somewhere that the Bundoran turntable was extended in 1934/35 to accommodate the then new Railcar 'C' which worked out from Enniskillen when first introduced.
