}}

The Great Southern Railways (GSR) Class 342 consisted of five 4-4-0 locomotives built by Inchicore railway works in 1936. They were a late follow on from the GSR Class 333 originally built by the Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) in 1907/1908.[1]{{rp|113–115,269–270}}

Design and modifications

The locomotives were essentially modelled on the 1927 rebuild of Locomotive 338 of Class 333.[1]{{rp|113–115,269–270}} The {{Convert|5|ft|8+1⁄2|in|mm}} driving wheels and less than 16 long ton maximum axle load were suitable for go anywhere and secondary passenger and mixed duties as opposed to the {{Convert|6|ft|7|in|mm}} driving wheels of classes 301 through 321 which were more suited to express passenger work.

Service

In practice all members of these classed were treated interchangeably for operational purposes. A {{convert|16|LT|MT}} maximum axle load allowed the class to be used almost anywhere. They were assessed in 1948 as quite powerful and fast and especially useful for passenger specials.[1]{{rp|113–115,269–270}}

Loan to GNRI

In 1946 Locomotive 346 which was an oil burner at the time was lent to the Great Northern Railway (GNRI) to operate the Dublin-Bundoran express as far as Dundalk.[1]{{rp|270}}
