The O&K CSÉT Shunting Locomotives were a class of nine small Irish steam locomotives built in Berlin, Germany, by Orenstein & Koppel for shunting wagons of sugar beet at the three Irish Sugar Company (Comlucht Siúcre Éireann) factories in Mallow, Thurles and Tuam. (There was another factory at Carlow, but it used vertical-boilered Belgian locomotives.) They were delivered in two batches, with the first six arriving in 1934 and the last three in 1935. The 1934 batch was paid for by barter, using cattle as payment. Each factory received three locomotives, and numbered them independently, leading to each factory having a No. 1, a No. 2 and a No. 3. Each factory applied their own design of number onto the tanks, and in some cases, bufferbeams, of their respective locomotives.

  • The O&K CSÉT Shunting Locomotives were a class of nine small Irish steam locomotives built in Berlin, Germany, by Orenstein & Koppel for shunting wagons of sugar beet at the three Irish Sugar Company (Comlucht Siúcre Éireann) factories in Mallow, Thurles and Tuam. (There was another factory at Carlow, but it used vertical-boilered Belgian locomotives.) They were delivered in two batches, with the first six arriving in 1934 and the last three in 1935. The 1934 batch was paid for by barter, using cattle as payment. Each factory received three locomotives, and numbered them independently, leading to each factory having a No. 1, a No. 2 and a No. 3. Each factory applied their own design of number onto the tanks, and in some cases, bufferbeams, of their respective locomotives. There was no official class designation, but in preservation they have gained the nicknames Sugarpuffs, due to their small size and careers in the sugar industry, and O&Ks, which is the acronym of their manufacturer. Withdrawals and scrapping of most of the locomotives took place during the 1960s, with only Thurles No. 1 and Mallow No. 3 surviving. The latter locomotive was the last steam locomotive to be in service in the Republic of Ireland for the famous sugar beet campaign, as CIÉ's dieselisation programme was complete by this point, 1963. The locomotives were easy to recognise in Ireland thanks to their diminutive size and European characteristics - which included a sandbox on top of the boiler, and a funnel-shaped chimney which allowed for the potential fitting of a spark arrestor for wood-burning. Unusually, they also have a well tank in addition to two side tanks. (en)
