Looking for old pictures of Thurles

[snapper]

I am looking for a little help, I am trying to find some pictures of Thurles station, yard, buildings ect in the 1950s -60s. I have tried some of the usual sources, eiretrains, google images but I am not having much luck.

Anybody have any links / sources of pictures of Thurles in that period, or earlier.

 

Thanks in advance, snapper

There seems to be quite a few photos in the O'Dea collection, dating from the late 1950s-early '60s...

...I especially like the one of the J15 dragging a two-car AEC set out of the station.

Ha, no worries... it happens to me, too. I must say I enjoyed browsing through those photos.

The problem for me with looking at old photos is I get grand ideas for layouts that I have no space to build
