A colour portrait of the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) dealing with lines from Belfast to Antrim, Warrenpoint, Dundalk, Clones and Derry, and lines
from Dublin to Oldcastle, Clones, Cavan, Enniskillen and Bundoran.
A fascinating new work on these fondly remembered lines.
This is an essential work for all those interested in Irish railways and simply flew off our stand at the recent Dublin show.
The 235 colour photos date back to as early as 1947. 112 pages in all, hardback.
All copies sold by mail order will be signed by the author.
This book received a good review in the October edition of the 'Railway modeller', which was very fitting as the book is sub-titled 'A handbook for railway modellers and historians'.
It does exactly what it says on the cover, Roger having spent many years
researching his topic and also checking details with our own Donegal Railway Heritage Centre and other sources of detailed CDR information.
While there is a short history of the CDR, the book concentrates on photographs and scale drawings of
buildings, structures, locomotives, railcars carriages and wagons that will be useful not only to the modeller, but also of value to any CDR enthusiast.
There are references to exhibition quality models of the CDR and a lot of advice to both the experienced and potential modeller.
All copies sold by mail order will be signed by the author. 112 pages.
An interesting look at the CIE in the 1950s when the ageing steam fleet was more like a working museum, covering a variety of locations such as Cork, Rosslare, Waterford and Tralee with operational views never to be seen again.
64 pages with 54 b/w photos.
This new book is dedicated to the border counties and covers the stations, people and trains that served the communities in Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Sligo and our own Donegal.
Another interesting selection and recording of lost scenes that we now have the opportunity to relive through this book.
64 pages with 54 b/w photos.
