What a priceless gem of social history. Old Joe certainly had an eye for the rare & unusual.

Joe was into selfies before us all , interesting to see the turning of B121 on the table , no health and safety then !

Wonderful footage! Nobody could say DMU's compare for romance
And the loco liveries look so much better for seeing them in 'real life' rather than on a photograph

Closed railway lines in County Cork should be all reopened and restores to stop Pollution, Car Accidents, Road Deaths and Traffic Jams, St. Stephen's Day trains and 24 hour service in summer are also needed.
