Working Parties

Would you like to be involved in restoring Irish Locomotives?

The Irish Traction Group is currently looking for volunteers to help restore and maintain its collection of preserved Irish diesel locomotives. We are looking for volunteers to help work on our locomotives situated at the Goods Store, Carrick-On-Suir Railway Station, Carrick-On-Suir, Co. Tipperary, the Downpatrick & Co. Down Railway, Downpatrick, Co. Down, and the West Clare Railway, Moyasta, Co. Clare.

If you are keen to get your hands dirty, or have any specialist skills that may prove useful to the Group, e.g. welding, painting, or mechanical and electrical engineering skills, and you wish to come along and contribute to help preserving Ireland’s railway heritage, then you will be made most welcome.  Even if you have no previous experience, there is still plenty of work to go around if you are willing to learn.

If you are interested coming along and helping out, please send an e-mail to either Aidan Brosnan (Carrick-On-Suir) or Ken Manto (Downpatrick & Co. Down Railway and West Clare Railway). Their contact details are as follows:

Aidan Brosnan - Carrick-On-Suir
