Irish Vintage Transport Tour

Following on from the success of our October 2023 video "Going out to work in Ireland 1947 | Season 3 – Episode 71", I was invited by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland to contribute this story to their annual Five Foot Three Magazine.

Issue No. 69, March 2024 is available now from https://www.steamtrainsireland.com/.../8/five-foot-three

You can see our video of this story and how the mighty Maedb G.S.R. 800 nearly cost a young Sean Furlong his job https://fb.watch/rjIGhGSDB1/

Each and every week we continue to bring you two new Irish transport videos. We need your support to cover our travel costs, please help us out with a €2 subscription https://www.facebook.com/becomesupporter/IrlMade/

Christmas came early this year with John Mitchell's "Corwall to Kerry".

This lovely autobiography charts John's move from the UK with his family in 1953, time spent in County Wicklow and a move to County Kerry in 1962. John opened a car repair garage in Kilgarvan in 1969 and in 1984 opened Kilgarvan Motormuseum

In the summer of 2023 I was privileged to be able to spend time with John and Trevor Mitchell and their incredible museum collection of cars and motorbikes. We had a great time filming in their lovely garden, full of native and exotic plants and then rounded off the visit in their cafe.

Check out the video stories we produced for my Ireland Made website.
