Some very interesting older stock, Bandon tanks locos, green AEC railcars on the CBSCR, a double slip (not as uncommon as one would have believed), I think it was at Albert Quay about 8:41, old motor vehicles, trucks and a GN closed wagon on the CBSCR! Nostalgic little collection of video and photographs Thanks for posting that.

What a lovely collection of fillums and pics, left me with a real melancholy feeling tho....loved the bit with the horse drawn wagon, and the fella chasing cows off the track.!

The classic place for one though, saving a point length in a cramped urban terminus. Immediately afterwards is the rock cutting/tunnel at the throat, I was fascinated by a photo of that in an early 70s Railway Magazine (or whatever that real railways magazine was called) in an article on Foynes, Fenit, etc.

Well worth the price, sit down with a Glass of Malt and try to fight the tears.

The Old station area in Albert quay is going to get a 'Fantastic' new development. Looks like an awful location to live with the link road below

Wouldn't be so bad if the CBSCR 'model' railway was still outside your window, but alas!
