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 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.

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.

There's no flies on you then! Yes, it was Castlegregory loco shed, still extant in 1978 and used to house the CIE school bus. On my last visit in the late 1980's the only thing left was the concrete base. Interestingly the station house was being used by an undertaker as were the Dingle and Tralee NG stations - quite appropriate given the moribund concern that the T&D was.

You have it in one! Fitzgerald's Bar at Castlegregory Junction - again taken back in 1977 - and far better on the outside than in. Vastly expanded now and I doubt the ghosts of any old T&D men hang out there. Ashe's Pub & Restaurant at Upper Camp (a short distance away) has much more atmosphere and some railway memorabilia.

An MPV is its designation. They've had this for ages now but it never appeared on the network due to a weight to axle issue iirc.

You're correct but wrong factory - it was out the back of the Thurles factory in the mid 1980s. The cab still exists somewhere in Waterford/East Cork as far as I know.

The cab of a G Class would make a fine wee shed as it's roomy enough and solid.
