on 3 July 2004 .]] The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) Class V steam locomotives were 3-cylinder Compound Locomotive s of 4-4-0 Wheel Arrangement built in 1932 by Beyer Peacock . They were numbered 83-87. The design owed a lot to the Midland Railway 1000 Class . When the GNR(I) stock was split up in 1958 , 83/86/87 passed to the Ulster Transport Authority (UTA), and 84/85 to Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ). The names of three of these locomotives were re-used on the Northern Ireland Railways 101 Class locomotives. These locomotives were withdrawn from service in 1963 , but 85 ''Merlin'' has been preserved by the Railway Preservation Society Of Ireland at Whitehead, County Antrim , and returned to operational condition.
