    Hope it's okay to start a new thread for this - it seems a shame to lose them in the general Photo thread.

    Found this 1917 view of Nenagh on eBay tonight. Interesting pointwork.

    Avoiding a facing point by bringing the goods exit over to the down loop. Fairly common for the time. At that time, the two loops would not have been bi-directional, just up and down.

    Wonder why all the platform advertising seemed to vanish during or after the War/Emergency? Did they go in some sort of scrap drive or did the contract with the various advertisers / their advertising agency and the railways end?

    I imagine that some went in the scrap drive but in later years inflation meant that many signs carried out of date prices. A lot of the old signs ended up in shed roofs.
