Class 342 as built except where noted[1] : 113–115, 269–270
The Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR ) Class 3334-4-0 mixed-traffic locomotives designed by Robert Coey and built by Inchicore railway works in 1907/8. In 1936, the successor company - the Great Southern Railways (GSR) - built five similar engines known as GSR Class 342 .[1] : 113–115, 269–270
Design and modifications [ edit ]
The design used the same taper boiler and 18 in x 20 in cylinders as Coey's express 4-4-0 express passenger engine 321 ; however, the smaller driving wheels and less than 16 long ton maximum axle load were suitable for go anywhere and secondary passenger and mixed duties.[2]
The later Class 342 locomotives were essentially modeled on the 1927 rebuild of locomotive No. 338 of the 333 Class.[1] : 113–115, 269–270
Service [ edit ]
In practice, all members of these classed were treated interchangeably for operational purposes. A 16 long tons (16 t ) maximum axle load allowed the class to be used almost anywhere. They were assessed in 1948 as quite powerful and fast and especially useful for passenger specials.[1] : 113–115, 269–270
Loan to GNRI [ edit ]
In 1946, No. 346 (which was an oil burner at the time) was lent to the Great Northern Railway (GNRI) to operate the Dublin -Bundoran express as far as Dundalk .[1] : 270
