A marvelous record of a bygone era showing the proud diesel locomotive age in Ireland and marvelous people skills in a truly evocative style. Thank you John Hewitt, you have done your country and our railway men and women of past generations, of which we can be proud, great service.
Thank you for your incredibly kind words! I'm really proud that you view my humble efforts so highly and that I was able to evoke that era in the 1990s with my videos. I only wish that I'd had better equipment back then!
Always loved the Limerick Ballybrophy train. One loco, one coach, one steam gen. What more do you want ?! Back in Blighty, it would be a rancid Class 153 !
I love traveling by train, but I'm a smoker, God be with the days even after you couldn't smoke,you could make your way to the back of the train find a window you could open to half way down smoke and not bother anyone. Move on to today your hermetically sealed in the carriages, surrounded by people umbilicaly connected to all sorts of noisy devices and if your really lucky a bunch of yahoos will get on with the contents of a small off license with them and proceed to get pissed and then cause trouble, but hay that,s okay.

These videos are amazing!! You have so much history captured when Irish Railways were at their best! I look forward to watching the rest!
