International Railroad Discussion > Ireland Rail Museum

Hello everybody,
I will be five days in Dublin, and would like to know if there is a nice rail museum in Ireland. I have found one in West Clare,they have some rolling stock over there,  and would like to know if you know more!

Thank you in advance!

Cheers

The main base of the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland is at Whitehead in Co Antrim, on the north shore of Belfast Lough. http://www.steamtrainsireland.com/events/

The HQ of the Irish Railway Record Society are at Heuston station in Dublin  http://www.irrs.ie/index.htm 

The Irish Traction Group own a number of historic diesel locomotives, which are at a number of locations around the country. http://www.irishtractiongroup.com/

You didn't say when you were going, but there are a number of forthcoming railtours - GNRI 3 cylinder compound no.85 Merlin is running Whitehead - Belfast - Dublin and return next Sunday and in October there's a diesel railtour with (presumably) restored IE 071 class leader 071.
