Dugort Harbour

[jhb171achill]

Summer 1965, Dugort Harbour…. and there are gricers about!

"Saw these things being built in Inchicore at the IRRS Open Day! First time I've seen 'em in traffic!"

"The guy in Castletown station sez they'll be replacing the last of the old wooden vans, y'know, the Great Northern and Great Southern stuff...."

"They're tall, aren't they? Good bit higher than normal vans?"

"Yeah - full loading gauge..."

"Funny havin' the door at the side..."

FULL MARKS to Enda Byrne on these models. Bright sunlight is absolutely unforgiving on any 3D model - ANY model, in fact, but these certainly have nothing to fear from bright light. Prompt service, very reasonable price, and excellent models. VERY highly recommended.

1946, and a maintenance train is stabled at Dugort Harbour.

Fair day, July 1957, and A30 approaches Dugort Harbour to collect five loaded cattle trucks….

Perfect shot!

One of my favourite weathering job on that livery. Amazing scenes and story telling.

Nice shot from the other side of the bridge.

On a summers day in 1966, the mid-day train arrives with a very clean B165.

Almost twenty years earlier, in summer 1947, ex-CBSCR No. 472, allocated to the Dugort Harbour branch in 1943, is seen with fair day sheep traffic.
