Glover Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Very good issue. David Holman's 'Fintonagh' layout on the front cover with a full article inside. Another layout is covered by photos, this being Kilkenny using 21mm track, modified it seems from Roco track. This layout was built by a German man. Clogher, on the Clogher Valley Railway is also featured. Ballyglunin (alias ' Castletown' in the Quiet Man movie) is the Station Survey, which also includes an insert with plans of the station building. The GSR loco drawings have now moved on from steam; this time they cover the Sentinel Railcar, two versions of the Clayton railcars, the Drewry passenger railcars (inspection saloons?) and the Turf Burner; can we not just let that contraption go?! There are also plans for Belfast & Northern Counties (later NCC and then UTA) goods vans. Colm Flanagan covers a conversion of a Bachmann J11 to Belfast & County Down loco No4 while Jonathan Beaumont details the use of grey by the GSR and later CIE on their steam locos. A couple of interesting photos: Magherafelt in or abouts on the old, and to me mysterious , Derry Central plus GSWR restaurant car number 343: very tempting to model! There are some other pieces plus some news items but overall, a very enjoyable and useful issue. Glover 4 Quote
Galteemore Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 How does one obtain this please? I emailed but no reply... Quote
Glover Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 It's published by Alan O'Rourke from Sheffield in England. It's very much a part time non-commercial operation, so 'no reply' might simply mean that he's busy/away/digging the garden..... Full details below in this photo from the current issue. Well worth subscribing too, in my view. Cheers, Glover 1 Quote

jhb171achill Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Alan was also the author of one of the two books on the North Kerry Railway, and a truly excellent job he did with it too. 1 Quote
