Warbonnet Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Flickr is a bit of a goldmine when it comes to old pics, maybe we should post links to good pics or albums we find on our travels and post them on this thread? To start the ball rolling, a wee collection I found from around 1979. And for our bus friends Enjoy! Quote
Glenderg Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 My jaw hurts from all the dropping on that first link. Cheers Fran. Quote
108 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Great finds. I'll look out for some while surfing. Quote

BosKonay Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I don't think I've ever seen a better looking set of the Es! And the little Deutz's! Quote

Warbonnet Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Another great Flickr album belongs to Ernie's Rail Archive - So many gems from the 1950's to the 90's. I love his British stuff too personally. Quote
Irishswissernie Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 My Flickr site is perhaps a bit confusing to find what you are looking for as there are now 231 albums and 24674 photos spread over 8 collections. This is the Irish collection: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/collections/72157626625058875/ This should bring up the 24 Irish sets and then you just need to click on whichever set takes your fancy (if any do of course!)

Ernie fantastic set of pics -a great source for reference or just to relive those magical days back when! Quote
aclass007 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I just stumbled upon this one. Some nice shots of Claremorris. Not all of the photos are rail related, but keep scrolling anyway..... http://www.flickriver.com/places/Ireland/Mayo/Claremorris/search/ Quote

DiveController Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Great photos! Anyone know what the white 'dayglo' panels are on 084 about photo no 80? Quote
Glenderg Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Lol, that's not white. washed out/faded dayglo was regular then... Quote
DiveController Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Saw it on several of the photos. When you looked from the side it looked like it had been applied to the front panels. I thought it was faded/dirty white or an experimental color before Dayglo was chosen! Seems they might not have been that effective then! lol, my mistake;) Quote
Garfield Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Some pure filth here Some cracking shots there, especially the colour pics of Kilfree Junction and the Guinness railway... nice to see photos of how the narrow gauge Spence steam locos were able to run on the 5ft 3in sections! It's a crying shame that the Guinness Hudswell Clarke diesel shunter wasn't preserved. Quote
irishthump Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Great shots of 145 and 177 in Black and Tan. Quote

jhb171achill Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Flickr is unfortunately a very unwieldy thing to navigate around....... Quote
Warbonnet Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 One for our Northern lovers 9_Belfast-YR_2-2-63 by robertcwp, on Flickr Quote
heirflick Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 no disrespect to those railcars, but the livery on the set on the left is awful! Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 That's an amazing pic thanks for sharing Quote
Warbonnet Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 For you lovers of CIE vehicles (including the fortcoming Leyland model) https://www.flickr.com/photos/57566472@N05/favorites/page8/?view=md Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 UTA stock did begin to look very drab when the paintwork wasn't fresh! I remember it well...... Quote
dave182 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 What a great find Warbonnet! I think there is quite a shortage of 1:76 trucks from the 80s and 90s. I see Oxford have a DAF cab listed for early next year- would love to see a Roadliner or Guinness version. Commission anyone?? Quote
Warbonnet Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Whilst looking at my usual staple of American porn I came across this beauty CIE at Cork by joemcmillan118, on Flickr He has a few more beauties too Quote
