New Irish Lines May 2019 issue

[Glover]

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.

How does one obtain this please? I emailed but no reply...

[Glover]

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

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.
