SSR Class DN4

The first member of this class, which was built for the Schull and Skibbereen Railway by Peckett and Sons of Bristol, appeared from the works in 1905 and was delivered to the railway the following year. Unusually, for a tank locomotive it had a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement. The locomotive was numbered "No.1" and named "Gabriel", replacing the original No.1, named "Marion", which was scrapped on its arrival.

This locomotive was withdrawn and scrapped in 1936.

The second locomotive in this class was also built by Peckett and Sons and delivered to the railway in 1914. This locomotive was numbered "No.3" and originally named "Consiliation" but later renamed "Kent". This replaced the original No.3, named "Ilen" which was scrapped when the new locomotive arrived.

This locomotive was withdrawn and scrapped in 1953.
