NIRCLASS80 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Found this on flickr. If you take a look some of the albums are Irish based with NCC,NIR,CIE,IR and IE stuff. Some great shots. https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/sets/
josefstadt Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 CIE-Corr2nd-exGNRI_Dublin-AmiensSt_5-9-62 by robertcwp, on Flickr I have something similar in my collection, taken by my father and also dating from the early 1960s. The CIE liveried coach is a composite (unfortunately I can't make out the number), then there is 135 still in GNRB livery (as in R W Carroll's pic above) and then two, presubably, BUT railcars, one in CIÉ green and the other in the new Black & Tan livery. Also taken on the same day is this pic also showing grey liveried B132 with an 'Enterprise'service at Platform 2 and an unidentified 700 class BUT railcar in Platform 3.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16627[/ATTACH] Great sets of pics and a real reminder of the variety from the past.The 2 railcars in the photo are of AEC type railcars
Warbonnet Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Lovely pics josefstadt, thanks for sharing. RW Carroll posts up some gems on flickr of UK and occasionally Irish stuff. I think he buys slides up from collections and EBay.

Noel Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 69.Z009 New Ross by Frank's Railway Photos, on Flickr Classic scene - mixed traffic and an A class in black livery. One wiper blade broken off too. Oh if I could only source an A class model powered by a centre drive chassis like MMs. BTW, enjoyed watching some of your youtube videos. with the 'long haul freights' was very impressive. Did they actually run trains that long with only one brake van and loose coupled stock? How did they marshall them?
Warbonnet Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Cheers Noel, actually meant to stick that link up for the video on the site and forgot! The Garratt rake would be prototypical in length, they tended to run very long trains. We were just having a bit of fun and testing haulage ability on the two locos though, see what they can do on big gradients. Both performed very well although the Garratt is a bit tempermental at times.

jhb171achill Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 That shot at New Ross is an enthusiast special; regular passenger finished on the Waterford - Macmine in 1963. Groups like the IRRS were, in those days, able to arrange for a coach to be added to a goods train in order to traverse a line not open to passenger traffic.
jhb171achill Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) The make-up of that goods train at New Ross is worthy of note; a standard "H" van, three GSR goods vans and five cattle trucks! Edited January 9, 2015 by jhb171achill
Riversuir226 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Great find, photos of New Ross line are hard to come by on the net. I have the 1963 figure/loading sheets for the station, worthy of note were the Tramore race specials and the All Ireland hurling specials that ran over the line in the Sept hauled by 141's after the line closed to passengers. Amazing to think that the line last saw use nearly 20 years ago !!!!.

WRENNEIRE Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Just saw this on FB, have we had it already? Pics are by Roger Joanes. https://www.flickr.com/photos/110691393@N07/albums/72157638438035474/page1
jhb171achill Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Only thing about Flickr, it's desperately slow to view and freezes up after a couple of dozen images. Anyone else find that?
jhb171achill Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Is it because I'm using an iPad, I wonder....
Noel Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Only thing about Flickr, it's desperately slow to view and freezes up after a couple of dozen images. Anyone else find that? Same here especially on iPad. Flickr seems to be particularly sluggish on lower broadband speeds (i.e. <7mb), but probably not noticeable to 20mb+ connections.
Warbonnet Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 The App constantly crashes for me on my IPad 2. Very frustrating as it was a great App before this started happening and pics look great on a tablet.
