The Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway Leitrim Class was a class of five 0-6-4T locomotives built by Beyer, Peacock and Company between 1882 and 1889 for the SLNCR.
Versions
In 1879 Beyer, Peacock and Company supplied the South Australian Railways K class, which was built to the Irish gauge and designed to run on lightweight track. As a result, and after the disappointment of the Pioneer class, the SL&NCR ordered an enlarged version of this design which became the SLNCR Leitrim class.{{sfn|Sprinks|1970|p=74}}{{sfn|Sprinks|1970|p=77}}
Beyer, Peacock delivered the first two of this class Fermanagh and Leitrim, in 1882. They proved to be reliable and the SL&NCR obtained further examples from Beyer, Peacock: Lurganboy in 1895; Lissadell and Hazelwood in 1899.{{sfn|Rowledge|1993|p=118}} The SL&NCR started withdrawing the class from service in 1947 and one of the class survived until the closure of the line in 1957.{{sfn|Sprinks|1970|p=77}} "Lissadell" was sold in working order to Hammond Lane Foundry in 1954 and survived until broken up at Manorhamilton in 1957.Five Foot Three No.38 Winter 1991/92
