Coming soon...

Our next badge celebrates the 100th Anniversary of an iconic Irish steam locomotive, none of which, sadly, made it into preservation: the MGWR/GSR "Woolwich" moguls.

More details to follow.

We hope you all enjoyed the day. Incidentally, this was the 10th operation for our little group since we started three years ago. And as our plans are concerned, this is still only just the beginning...

A big thank you to everyone who joined us on our "On the Laois" tour today, we think you'll agree that the teams at The Steam Museum and Stradbally Woodland Railway put on an excellent show for us. We'll have a full report in due course.

Next stop, the Stradbally Woodland Railway, where "Róisín" becomes the fourth steam locomotive to take part in one of our tours.

First stop on today's tour was the Steam Museum at Straffan. Great to meet with the museum's founder, Robert C. Guinness, seen here with three of our Directors, Wesley Molloy, Alex Richardson and David Walsh.

As you can imagine, transporting these locomotives is not cheap, nor is their restoration. So we’ve decided to help them out by commissioning some special keyrings, all proceeds from these will be donated directly to the ITG to help them in their efforts.

As many of you will have seen, our friends in The Irish Traction Group have started to move their stored diesels to the Downpatrick and County Down Railway museum. We congratulate our volunteer colleagues in the ITG for their perseverance and dedication to preserving these classic Irish locos.

Congratulations to Mid West Model Railway Club on a very successful first exhibition, and thank you for having us. We've attached some photos of their excellent Treaty Junction layout which draws inspiration from Limerick Junction over the years.

We're all ready to go at the first ever Mid West Model Railway Club Exhibition in the Castletroy Park Hotel, Limerick. Open Saturday and Sunday 11:00-17:00.

All ready to go at the Mullingar Die-cast, Toy & Model Show in the Mullingar Park Hotel. Open until 17:00.

Only two weeks to go until our first mainline railtour of 2025, picking up at Cork, Mallow and Limerick Junction. (Dublin passengers may wish to join at the latter via the 08:00 Heuston-Cork service).
