Londonderry & Lough Swilly 0-6-0 Locomotives in Ireland


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Innishowen (Locobase 2699)

Works number was 834.

The only L&LS engine delivered that had neither a leading nor or a trailing truck, Inishowen soon had its leading axle uncoupled to reduce the rigid wheelbase. Making it not quite a 2-4-0T because the wheels were all the same diameter

The little tank ran for 55 years until its scrapping in 1940.
