COMHLUCHT SIUCRA EIREANN TEO
 0-4-0T  No.1
BUILT BY : OREINSTEIN & KOPPEL, GERMANY
BUILT : MID 1930s
WITHDRAWN  : 1960

This locomotive, owned by the Downpatrick and Co Down Railway, is at Whitehead for overhaul.

Work so far has concentrated on making and fitting new crankpins to the coupled wheelsets. 

The boiler, while several years old, is as new as it was built relatively recently by Woolf's of Ballymena.

The tanks are replacements, but the cab is original. No.1's sister, No.3, was totally rebuilt at Whitehead in the late 20th century.
