Tralee and Dingle Light Railway 4 was a 0-4-2T was a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge locomotive built by Hunslet Engine Company in 1890.[1] It operated the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway's 6 mi (9.7 km) Castle-Gregory branch in County Kerry, Ireland, until withdrawn in 1907.[1]
The locomotive had cabs at both ends and the controls were duplicated so there was no need to turn the locomotive round at each end of the route.[2]
The Fry Collection includes a model of the locomotive.[1] The picture of the Fry model shows a locomotive to apparently have a raised covered cab at both ends linked by the boiler with side tanks with the chimney extending though the somewhat longer cab at the front end.[a]
Following withdrawal the number 4 was taken in 1908 by 2-6-0T No. 8 built in 1903, the number 8 then being taken a locomotive built in 1910.[3]
