    And another (which being a well-known tourist attraction should narrow down the location of the previous picture).

    security in relation to railways? Don't really see that being much of an issue unless you're taking photos of IE documents or some such

    I think that security might refer to photos taken inside depots or other places skangers and metal thieves might find interesting?

    I'm mostly thinking about trespass / access, but I'm not going to go into detail.

    They have have had trials with same over the last year on Irish Rail tracks and by and large they have been successful enough to warrant a serious consideration. The access isn't a massive issue as fire crews can access the EGV from track side or by old fashioned axe work through the dummy doors :D Our friends in NIR have not yet conducted their own trials and checks which I understand is holding the project up; until they get moving they won't see the light of day. Given that they have new DMU sets to commission and their track record with the Gatwick DVT, I ain't holdiing my breath anytime soon :rolleyes:

    According to a post on IRN, 208 brought one of the vans to York Road today.

    interesting, they look like they might be BNaM hopper chassis...they have flanged wheels but could have a LOT of axle free play and that centre wheel is a baffling...

    they do have the look of that OK but they are Irish trucks I think and where was or is there a colliery on this island that would use them?

    Just a couple that I've transferred to my personal PC - I'll try and dig out some with the more exciting engineering trains during the week - HOBC, tilting wagons (S&C Modular) etc...

    Sorry about the delay - I was in the Sin Bin (Prison Forum) for a few days.

    The pics were taken by Joe St.Leger back in 1989 during the recovery of the Filter Beds rail system from Roundwood Reservoir, County Wicklow, by the Irish Narrow Gauge Trust. Most of the equipment which include masses of trackwork, hopper wagons etc. went straight from Roundwood to Hammond Lane but a few items survive at Dromod today. Several rather pleasant 'poached salmon dinners' were had on the proceeds in the nearby Roundwood Inn, if memory serves me right. :D
