Bits on Flickr

[Warbonnet]

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!

My jaw hurts from all the dropping on that first link. Cheers Fran.

I don't think I've ever seen a better looking set of the Es! And the little Deutz's!

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.

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!)

fantastic set of pics -a great source for reference or just to relive those magical days back when!

I just stumbled upon this one. Some nice shots of Claremorris. Not all of the photos are rail related, but keep scrolling anyway.....

nice find!

Great photos! Anyone know what the white 'dayglo' panels are on 084 about photo no 80?

[Glenderg]

Lol, that's not white. washed out/faded dayglo was regular then...

 

[DiveController]

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;)

[Warbonnet]

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.

[irishthump]

Great shots of 145 and 177 in Black and Tan.

Not flickr but some great 70s action here http://www.hatspics.co.uk/

Flickr is unfortunately a very unwieldy thing to navigate around.......

no disrespect to those railcars, but the livery on the set on the left is awful!

[Dunluce Castle]

That's an amazing pic thanks for sharing

For you lovers of CIE vehicles (including the fortcoming Leyland model) https://www.flickr.com/photos/57566472@N05/favorites/page8/?view=md

UTA stock did begin to look very drab when the paintwork wasn't fresh! I remember it well......

[dave182]

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??

Whilst looking at my usual staple of American porn I came across this beauty

Certainly a beauty of a photo. So evocative of a long gone era.
