Введение
Tralee and Dingle Light Railway 7 и 8 – два локомотива, построенные компанией Kerr, Stuart and Company в 1902 и 1903 годах для Tralee and Dingle Light Railway. Около рубежа XX века на железной дороге Трэли и Дингл наблюдался рост перевозок. На этой железной дороге скот был гораздо важнее пассажиров, поэтому руководство начало поиск дополнительной тяги. Учитывая, что железнодорожное полотно было легким, более тяжелые локомотивы были невозможны без изменения компоновки колес, хотя увеличение мощности можно было достичь за счет изменений в цилиндрах или жаровых трубах котла для увеличения нагреваемой поверхности и, следовательно, силы тяги. Эти два локомотива, построенные Kerr Stuart на их заводе California Works в Стоке-он-Тренте, обеспечили необходимую дополнительную тягу, сохранив прежнюю компоновку колес. После объединения в 1925 году локомотивы перешли в состав Great Southern Railways, где были классифицированы как класс 4T или класс KN1.
Tralee and Dingle Light Railway 7 and 8 were two locomotives manufactured by Kerr, Stuart and Company in 1902 and 1903 for the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway. Around the turn of the 20th century the Tralee and Dingle Railway saw an increase in its traffic. On this railway cattle were far more important than passengers so the directors began looking for extra motive power. Taking into account that the line had only light trackwork, heavier locomotives were out of the question without changes to the wheel arrangement, although extra power could be made available with changes to the cylinders or boiler tubework to increase the heating surface and so the tractive effort. These two locomotives, built by Kerr Stuart at their California Works, Stoke on Trent, provided the extra motive power and retained the wheel arrangement. On the amalgamation in 1925 these locomotives passed to the Great Southern Railways as their Class 4T or Class KN1.
История
Эти два локомотива были поставлены из мастерских Kerr Stuart в 1902 и 1903 годах. Как и локомотивы, построенные Hunslet (№№ 1-3, 6 и 8), они были оборудованы для работы на трамвайных путях, с "боковыми щитами", закрывающими ведущие колеса и механизмы, отбойниками, колоколом, фарой и т.д. "Боковые щиты", обычно являвшиеся юридическим требованием для трамвайных линий вдоль дорог, были сняты вскоре после установки, чтобы облегчить доступ бригады к точкам смазки механизмов. Поскольку на фотографиях нет свидетельств их повторной установки, можно предположить, что инспекторы Торгового совета нечасто посещали этот уголок Ирландии. Они поступили на Tralee & Dingle под номерами 7 и 8, однако № 8 был перенумерован в № 4 в 1908 году после списания в 1907 году оригинального локомотива Hunslet 0-4-2T, построенного в 1890 году и выведенного из эксплуатации в 1902 году.
These two locomotives were delivered from the workshops of Kerr Stuart in 1902 and 1903. Like the Hunslet built locomotives (1 to 3, 6, and 8) these were fitted out to be suitable for tramway working with "skirts" covering the driving wheels and motion, cowcatchers, bell, headlight etc. The "skirts", normally a legal requirement for road side tramways, were removed after only a short time to give crews easier access for lubrication of the motion etc. As photographic evidence does not show their return it must be presumed that the Board of Trade inspectors didn't get to this corner of Ireland very often. They were delivered as Tralee & Dingle numbers 7 and 8, however No. 8 was re numbered as No. 4 in 1908, following the scrapping in 1907 of the original, a Hunslet 0 4 2T, built in 1890 and withdrawn in 1902.

Ливрея
Локомотивы T&D были окрашены в тёмно-зелёный цвет с красной обводкой между двумя кремовыми полосами и с красными буферными балками. После объединения в 1925 году локомотивы были окрашены в стандартный серый цвет GSR, при этом буферные балки оставались красными.
T&D locomotives were painted dark green lined out with red between two cream lines and with red buffer beams. After the 1925 amalgamation the locomotives were painted in the standard GSR plain grey, the buffer beam remaining red.
