Hope it goes to a better place, the back of that pub resembles a scrapyard from the road.

If memory serves it is ex. CIE PW Dept.234a formerly a Waterford, Limerick & Western Railway vehicle No.90..? - rescued from Tipperary Station way back in 1984 and it then lay at Mallow for a number of years. It is just a shell and not a trace of its original interior remains and, to use property developer parlance, 'is of no architectural merit whatsoever'.

Far more important is the fate of No.465a/WL&WR No.900 which is 'apparently' still at Belturbet. Built as a Family Saloon it was used as the Royal Saloon on the occasion of the visit of the Duke of York to the Limerick area in 1897.

There was a thread about it here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055996617

I dread to think what has happened to it since.

I was lucky enough to get to look inside and at 465 a few years ago. She is currently safely locked away in the old loco shed and could be in worse nick then it was though it had suffered from water damage. I must go visit her again one of the days and report back, with photos if required.
