GSR Classes 372 and 393
The Great Southern Railways Classes 372 and 393 were types of 2-6-0 ("mogul") steam locomotives exported to Ireland from Great Britain in 1924. They were designed by Richard Maunsell in 1914 for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) to be members of the SECR N class of mixed-traffic engines. The GSR 372 and 393 classes were part of a batch of N and U class locomotive kits produced under a UK Government contract at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.
==Introduction and service with MGWR and GSR==
The Midland Great Western Railway bought 12 kits which were then assembled at its Broadstone works in Dublin.〔Baker, 1972, pages 62-63〕 The first entered service as MGWR number 49 but the company then became part of the new Great Southern Railways and the locomotive was renumbered 375 and the remaining 11 kits were completed as GSR engines.〔Baker, 1972, page 63〕 The final one of the batch, number 383, was the last locomotive completed at Broadstone.〔 The GSR designated them Class 372 or Class K1.
The GSR bought a further 15 kits.〔 It assembled 14 of them between 1927 and 1930 at the Inchicore Works of the former Great Southern and Western Railway and kept the last for spares.〔 The first eight were class 372 like their predecessors, but the last six were given larger driving wheels and designated class 393 or Class K1a.〔 The GSR numbered the 372 class 372–391 and the 393 Class 393–398.〔Tatford, 1945, page 4〕 The number 392 was left vacant.
The majority of the class were employed on the GSR's Midland section. A few others were used on the Dublin Kingsbridge to Cork Glanmire Road main line and on services between Dublin and ''via'' .
