jhb171achill Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 This is nothing more than the relevant pages from the IE circular about the first Railtours "Emerald Isle Express". If anyone wants it out of interest, ping me and I'll stick it in the post to you. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 14, 2015 Author Posted February 14, 2015 Accompanying the above, two posters. Post free to anywhere. Quote

jhb171achill Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Riversuir, I posted yours today along with another few odds and ends I found which might be of interest Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Folks, I've a whole pile of stuff here, free to anyone who wants it. I would just ask for postage to be refunded for the larger items; small stuff is post-free. First, a 1974 WTT; loads of long gone stuff like pilot engines, Loughrea, New Ross, Ballinacourty and Sligo - Limerick - Tralee - Fenit / Foynes. Quote
snapper Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I would love the wtt if you still have it JB Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Timetable's gone, folks - sorry I couldn't post earlier, as my email went down immediately after I put that post up!! I'll upload more stuff tomorrow .... Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) More..... Small items post free, larger items I would ask for postal cost to be covered. This is a London Transport transfer Edited February 23, 2015 by jhb171achill Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 And finally, more free stuff again..... first, while not railway related, anyone into philately or general historical ephemera? Next: railway. Finally, a couple of quaint Victorian brochure booklets, non railway, but like the last two it's free and post-free. So: roll up, folks, or it's all for the shredder! :-) Quote
Glenderg Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Can i put my name forward for the last two booklets on churches etc? Don't ask.... :-) Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Glenderg - yes, they're yours - ping me your address. The philately stuff is gone too, but the stuff in my previous post is still here. That is: LMS superannuation guide Booklet published in 1901 regarding the law (in Britain) in relation to labour unions UTA cash handling instructions NIR fares book London Transport transfer Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Any fans out there of the South African Railways? If there are, form an orderly Q; blankes to the right and nie-blankes to the left, and see if you want any of the following. Again I'm giving it away, though I would ask for postage to be reimbursed. This book is almost like a phone book! It has every loco drawing the SAR ever had! Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 More of that lot..... interior of booklet shown last..... Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 SAR loco diagram book gone in record time but other SA stuff still here. More to go..... it's an international lot today. South African a minute ago, British (and also GNR(I)!) next: this first lot free but postage required. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Continued: this lot postage only too. This next one, a collection of luggage labels, I'm asking for €10 + postage. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 This one's for sale, so I'll post it here and on a for sale post too. Early 1900s map of Central London with railways in amazing detail, predating stylised diagrammatic London maps. €15 plus postage. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 This is a highly detailed insight into the state of the railways in the late 1940s. Title self explanatory. Free to a good home, but postage costs requested in return. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) This one's for sale. €10 plus postage. Contains a fascinating and detailed article by G B Howden, the GNR's General Manager, on the rebuilding of the Boyne Viaduct. This was a very major undertaking and the article covers all aspects of it. Health & Safety had yet to be invented. This man survived, impossible as the H & S Taliban might have us believe.....

Glenderg Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Is that the Milne Report? I'll take it, the 1948 one.... Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 I know that political comment is barred from IRM, but here goes! Vote for P T Somerville-Large! Sure, he's the GSR's Civil Engineer in Westland Row, don't ye know? If the mods ban me for canvassing, you'll know they support dem udder wans. This is post-free, and cost-free, to whoever wants it. The then equivalent of junk mail - it was a blotter! Postcard size. The reverse of this one is unused blotting paper, and was picked up by Senior in the GSR Drawing Office, where the hopeful candidate had been handing them out! The back: being unused, the mirror images of neither GSR nor Senate secrets are included; buyer supplies and installs their own. Like the impending introduction of 450 class tins on the Kenmare branch, and the military invasion of the Irish Free State by three Orangemen from Cullybackey. Remember where ye heard it first. There's a scoop for the Longford Leader..... Quote
Glenderg Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 and the military invasion of the Irish Free State by three Orangemen from Cullybackey. This thread is too good.... Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 1948 report now claimed. But the Cullybackey lot have been restrained; they decided to come in quietly via the GNR, but sure haven't they gone and closed Keady to Castleblayney. Them oul diesel-laundering mountainy men. Looks like a lock-in down Keady way tonight. Here are some WTTs, free but for postage. 2.4.73 Suburban 9.6.74 3.3.75 (tattered, but includes the likes of Loughrea, New Ross and Ballinacourty. 27.6.77 8.5.78 12.5.80 29.6.81 11.5.87 - Irish Rail's first. Set of points logo. 18.5.92 15.5.95 Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks, Dive. 11th May 1987 (green one) and 15 May 1995 now claimed, folks. Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 To all who offered new homes to the above stuff, it was posted yesterday and today. Perhaps I could ask each of you to let me know when you get it. Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Does anyone still write cheques? If so, do you want an NIR cheque book cover? Free.... Ignore the NIR rule book - that's for sale on another forum for €5...... Unless you want it too? 1 Quote
