GNRI Class SG (original) (raw)

The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) SG and SG2 classes was one of the last designs of Charles Clifford. They were primarily intended for goods work, but the increased wheel diameter enabled effective passenger duties, managing heavy excursion trains with ease and speed. Beyer, Peacock and Company built the first two batches in 1913 and 1915 and the 1924-25 batch were built by Nasmyth, Wilson and Company.
