Irish Railway Preservation Societies.
 

Today the spectacle of a steam train once almost as common as the juggernauts which make possible our modern way of life, these have largely passed into history. Except that is for several railway preservation societies which do a sterling job keeping the heritage alive, one such is the The Downpatrick and Co. Down Railway which run steam trains during the summer and holiday periods, visit their site for more information others are listed below.

Railway Preservation Society of Ireland.

Situated at Whitehead, County Antrim the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland was formed in 1964 to preserve the steam heritage of Ireland, the society is run by a staff of volunteers who selflessly give their time and talents, preserving for future generations Ireland's railway heritage.

To the best of my knowledge the society have extensive workshop facilities enabling them to re tube boilers etc.
