Lovely Ernie. Can’t be Lough Gill though as it was at Dundalk from May 57 on (it also had onion shaped smokebox lubricators which are not on this engine). It’s either Enniskillen or Sir Henry

Thanks, Title amended. This one actually appears on page 56 in "Railways in Ulster's Lakeland" Photographer was (said to be!) Dr Gerald Siviour and that was the info in the caption.

Fairly sure it is one of the two Sligo tanks built after the war. The rounded cab roof is the give away and in the background you can see one of the earlier Large Tanks for comparison.

 Either way, found myself dribbling again - Sligo, Swilly and Donegal all in the same post!

Magic.

Yes its Lough Melvin on the cattle train . Its the one on the right in the distance which the photographer stated was Lough Gill but David has pointed out it can't be as it was at Dundalk.
