SUMMARY:Lance King in Ulster\, 1957-1970\, The NCC in Action
DESCRIPTION:The NCC (“Northern Counties Committee”) was the Irish arm of the LMS (and the MR before that). The talk is mainly 1958 – 1970 when the NCC ran the last mainline steam in these islands. Using the slides of the late Lance King\, I will take you on a trip along the lines still open from Larne Harbour (ship to Scotland) to Belfast\, then from Belfast to Londonderry and Portrush. Along the route\, a few flasbacks to earlier days in Black and White. A short diversion to show NCC locos on the former Great Northern. We finish with an extensive coverage of “The Spoil Trains”: Thousand ton trains of stone worked by a 2-6-4T at each end – lots of lovely action shots. Steam’s Last Challenge”
