Introduction
Between the private locomotive builders and the works owned by the railway companies there were only about 750 locomotives produced in Ireland. The majority of the locos used in Ireland were supplied by makers from England or Scotland.
Further details can be read in J W Lowe book on "British Steam Locomotive Builders" copies are available from various book retail outlets and libraries.
Dundalk Engineering Works
This company built a few diesel locomotives for the Irish turf board, many of these were assembled from components supplied by others.
