SLNCR Lough class : ウィキペディア英語版 | SLNCR Lough class
The SLNCR Lough Class was a class of 0-6-4T steam tank locomotives of the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR). ==Development== By the end of Second World War the SLNCR's locomotive fleet was in poor condition, but neither the Great Northern nor Córas Iompair Éireann could spare any suitable locomotives for hire.〔Sprinks, 1970, page 31〕 The SLNCR considered ordering a Garratt articulated locomotive to haul heavier trains, but it could scarcely afford one locomotive of such a large size.〔Sprinks, 1970, page 70〕 Therefore, it decided instead to order two more smaller locomotives, on the basis that if one required maintenance the other could still be available for traffic.〔 In June 1946 the SLNCR ordered just one new locomotive from Beyer, Peacock and Company〔 at Gorton Foundry, Manchester, England. The SLNCR's financial situation was worsening, but despite this it ordered the second locomotive about a year later.〔 The ''Lough'' class was a more modern and more powerful development of the ''Sir Henry'' class, which was also built by Beyer, Peacock but was introduced in 1904.〔Sprinks, 1970, pages 82–84〕
