Remains of Bulleid's "Turf Burner" - Inchicore - 1974
O V S Bulleid's "turf burner" was built at Inchicore in 1957 and was the last steam locomotive built in Ireland. It ran a few trials and was then shunted into a siding and forgotten. I have not found a date for the scrapping of the body and boiler, but the frame survived until at least 1974 and I believe CIÉ had a theory it could be used to transport out-of-gauge loads, although it is doubtful if it was ever used.
This was clearly taken during an IRRS visit and the date is probably 7 July 1974 (actually recorded in the Journal) as 6329 seen in the background was out-shopped after conversion in June 1974.
