By the mid-1930s, the top link Dublin – Cork services had reached a critical loading point, where the existing fleet of 4-6-0 locomotives were stretched to their capabilities and beyond, particularly on the steep climb out of Cork. A larger, faster class of locomotive was needed. The three \"Celtic Queens\" gained iconic status among Irish enthusiasts and were the largest 4-6-0 locomotives to operate in the British Isles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACCTG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55145065677187,"sku":"IRM1304","price":347.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3957\/0801\/files\/IRM1304_web.jpg?v=1766142704","url":"https:\/\/www.accurascale.nl\/products\/gsr800-800-maeve-cie","provider":"Accurascale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
