That will be post 1958 when the assets of the GNR were split between the UTA and CIE. One of those rail buses is preserved and resident in the transport gallery of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra. www.flickr.com/photos/13073434@N03/40115430283/in/datepos...

According to wikipedia these are called railbuses. The wikipedia article includes a photo of a GNR Railbus at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum.

Apparently this engine was one of a kind and was known as "Sambo". "The Works or Premises Pilot, as it is known, was worked by the unique Maunsell designed 0-4-2 saddle tank known as "Sambo”. No number was ever allocated to it and to this day this name is still used for the Premises Pilot. This job is also unique in that the driver enjoys a regular 1300 lunch break. Instituted for Driver “Saddler”Jackson, who suffered from an ulcerated stomach and was required to eat regular meals," From "Five Foot Three" Number 42 www.steamtrainsireland.com/FFT/ See here again outside the loco shed at Inchicore. mikemorant.smugmug.com/Trains-Railways-British-Isles/Iris...

The steamindex claims that it was constructed from spare parts and had no. 842, though it was never carried.

The elevated wagons on the right along with the engine shed detail would indicate that the photograph was taken at Inchicore and not Kingsbridge. Above photo taken outside 3rd door from right below. www.flickr.com/photos/ballyfermot/16658045925/

that's a mighty barren office, no pics of the kids, no calendar... even more depressing in black and white....

oaktree_brian_1976 Guess this was pre-kids' photos on desk days, and ahem, but there is a calendar - top right!

Like what appears to be the working timetable hung on the wall, rather worn it looks too!
