A rare opportunity to own a piece of Irish railway history. This 58ft third open built in 1930 by Howth Junction is a stunning example of industrial design from an era when trains were the primary mode of transportation.
Built for Irish Railways, this locomotive was one of several built at the company's factory in Dublin during the mid-20th century. Its sleek and modern lines are characteristic of the era, with clean lines and minimal ornamentation.
The locomotive has been well-maintained over the years and is ready to resume its duties on the railways. Its original paintwork is still intact, providing a glimpse into the past when trains were often repainted as they moved from one depot to another.
This locomotive would be an excellent addition to any railway enthusiast's collection or museum. Its provenance includes Irish Railways Photo #11, a rare and valuable item for collectors of railway memorabilia. Whether you're a historian, engineer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of industrial design, this locomotive is sure to fascinate.
As with all classic vehicles, there may be some minor restoration required to bring it back to its former glory. However, with proper care and attention, it will remain in pristine condition for years to come.
