The cast iron mechanical item in the photographs is an Edmondson ticket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmondson_railway_ticket dating machine which was in every station in the country years ago i.e quite a lot of them survive in collections.



The BUT railcar manual and the padlock would be of interest to railwayana collectors - eBay or Adverts.ie but not of historic significance. The ticket dating machine - adverts.ie as they are quite common. As for the IRRS you will be lucky to get a response as they have only recently switched over from gas lighting.

Thanks for that, whats the IRRS?

Is the wire off the howth tramline any use? I have moved it around now about 4 times decorating the house and keep meaning to ask about it.

The GNRI spanner thing is another one I keep moving.

I also have a ladder from one of the store rooms or something, it looms like it has loads of staffs names carved into it. Property of pearse street or something stamped on it.

The IRRS = Irish Railway Record Society based in the old Goods Offices at Heuston Station near the public carpark. The Transport Museum at Howth Castle might like the wire from the tramline?
