StevieB Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I attended my first Dublin meeting of IRRS last Thursday, albeit via Zoom. It was a film show of the work of the late Joe St Leger, a guy who went all over Ireland recording the mundane for the benefit of others. Two pieces were of particular interests, the lengths gone to to run round a magnesite train at Limerick Junction in order to go from Cork to Ballinacourty, and the working of trains between Limerick and Dublin. A train from Limerick ran via Nenagh to Ballybrophy, where it was attached to the rear of a train from Limerick via the junction. Fascinating. Stephen Quote
Warbonnet Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Missed out on this on Thursday when preparing the launch of the IRM wares for this weekend but intend on watching the recording when it goes live. Looking forward to seeing it! Quote
Irishswissernie Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I attended via Zoom as well although my Webcam has gone the journey and enjoyed an excellent set of films. There were some fascinating scenes of the demolition Contractors working on the Clonmel-Thurles branch using what looked like one of the ex GNRI railcars D E F or G ( can anyone confirm ) with a makeshift wooden board Driving end. I have another Webcam on the way and look forward to the next Show 1 Quote
Galteemore Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Looking forward to catching it recorded - missed the live one. We really are spoiled right now - Irish railway heritage and fine models being showered upon us. Railcar was E or F apparently @Irishswissernie Edited October 25, 2020 by Galteemore 1 1 Quote
