GNRi1959

I haven't even looked at value/cost......

I have no interest really and without a layout, no way of running these.

No agents fee's, no DCC. I also have a Silverfox Models made reconstruction of the last Derry Road train Portadown to Derry (non-powered) that would make a great project for someone with the ability to fit powered bogies.

What would be a fair asking price for both a UG Class and U Class by OO Works. I bought these a couple of years after production was exhausted but they were able to build me what they described as the last one ever to leave the assembly line. So much so, that the UG was not lined, numbered or transferred. Simple black finish. Both are boxed as new and never been on a layout for more than a few hours running and returned to their boxes. I would certainly think consider a sensible offer for both of them, but not split.

Just thinking out loud here, last thing l want is an over expensive track laying experience. Peco may well be a better choice though l never liked their points.

I've not had much additional info but have had some new photographs that are so good.

I wonder if anyone has ever considered or tried hand built trackwork using the C&L plastic sleepers and chairs system?

Great news - Transport Treasury were very pleased with the book, they said they had only 100 copies left in their warehouse

You're a star JB. Thanks

Would anyone have a Working Timetable to cover the years pre-Enniskillen closure (Sept 57) and anything UTA post 1960. I have GNR(I) 1958. If you can help, I would really appreciate section dealing with Omagh copied (Dundalk-Enniskillen-Omagh-Derry) - (Belfast - Omagh - Derry) including the Market Branch. Thank You

Up until a few weeks ago, Steve and l had been in steady contact as he 'fact-checked' many of my captions for my book on Omagh Station. He gave me much detail on carriages in the Derry Road. I was aware that he was caring for his wife but l was shocked to hear the news as his email replies just ended abruptly- sad news.

It was a very successful launch JB, so thanks again for your attendance.

Thank you Jim, appreciated.

This is what Hugh Dougherty of Railway Heritage said about the book......... It's absolutely superb and you bring the station and its people to life. It's just the ticket for telling people who never knew the railway what it was like, while bringing it back to life for those that did.The Bundoran excursions struck a note for me, while the interviews with staff are outstanding. It's one of the best railway books I've read because it tells a very human story far beyond the usual enthusiast publication which concentrates too much on the locos and rolling stock. We'll done, Tony. I've really enjoyed the book and it's brought back Omagh station as I remember it transferring for Bundoran by train I 1957, and by bus on from Omagh in 1958, 1959 and 1960. Thanks very much. Hugh

Thank you Leslie for your support!
