Builder is correct. RSH was not formed until 1937.

The British magazine Steam Railway reports that the loco is to be repatriated to Ireland following its purchase for the revived West Clare Railway at Moyasta Junction. The loco is described as needing a new boiler before it can run again.

I phoned the Pine Creek railroad recently and they sound like great people. By the way, Cavan & Leitrim Railway, Ltd. No. 3, also known as Lady Edith, had once double headed with the American built Surrey, Sussex & Southampton RR No. 26. It is not often you see an Irish steamer and an American Steamer double heading. Visit http://rrpicturearchives.net/srchThumbs.aspx?srch=Lady+Edith and you'll see what I mean. It should also be noted that this lovely lady is turning 120 this year and I hope to donate to this railroad soon and help her along with the other locomotives. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY EDITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, it isn't like thomas. thomas was an inner piston engine with an atatched tender. it isnt an inner piston and the tender does not "stick out". plus, thomas was a standard gauge because of the larger engine refered to as gordan. if it were any smaller, it would probubly make the boiler a couple inches above the wheels.
