Lance King in Ulster 1957-1970, The Northern Counties Committee

Organised by : Railway Correspondence & Travel Society

The NCC (Northern Counties Committee) was the Irish arm of the LMS (and the MR before that). The talk is mainly 1958 1970 when the NCC ran the last mainline steam in these islands. Using the slides of the late Lance King, I will take you on a trip along the lines still open from Larne Harbour (ship to Scotland) to Belfast, then from Belfast to Londonderry and Portrush. Along the route, a few flasbacks to earlier days in Black and White. A short diversion to show NCC locos on the former Great Northern. We finish with an extensive coverage of The Spoil Trains: Thousand ton trains of stone worked by a 2-6-4T at each end lots of lovely action shots. Steams Last Challenge
