Schull and Skibbereen Light Railway 1 and 3 were two Template:Whyte locomotives manufactured by Peckett and Sons in 1906 and 1914 respectively. They were the Schull and Skibbereen Railway's fifth and sixth locomotives, and took the numbers of withdrawn locomotives.
History
The first member of this class was numbered "No. 1" and named "Gabriel", replacing the original No. 1, named "Marion", which was scrapped on its arrival.
The second locomotive was also built by Peckett and Sons and delivered to the railway in 1914. It was numbered "No. 3" and originally named "Consiliation" but later renamed "Kent". This replaced the original No. 3 "Ilen", which was scrapped when the new locomotive arrived.
Both locomotives passed to the Great Southern Railways in the 1925 amalgamation. The GSR added an "SScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"." suffix to the running number and classified both locomotives as Class 1SScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". (or Class DN4).
