Times past in Comber
Image: © Robert Ashby Taken: 13 Apr 2016
A fairly good representation of the small 4-4-2 tank locos which were the main motive power of the Belfast & County Down Railway. My great-uncle worked for the railway as a passenger train guard and would have been familiar with these engines and with Comber station as he travelled up and down the line. The green is maybe a bit lighter than the Brunswick green livery the original sported but it makes a nice addition to the scene and is located near the fire station just off the Comber by-pass and about where the platform once stood. The by-pass is just behind the fence.
