Interchangable Liveries with AJS Script.
The Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway(Later named the Dublin and South Eastern Railway and in 1907 a new livery was applied) ordered two engines from Vulcan Foundry of Newton-le-Willows in 1890. The engines were based at Bray to use on the Shillelagh-Dublin Harcourt Goods. Between 1912-1915 the two engines were bebuilt with a Belpaire Boiler. During the Irish Civil War, sabataging trains was a common way to disrupt the transport of Pro-Treaty Troops and ammunitions. In January 1923, the Anti-Treaty arrived at Palace East Station where No.51 was arriving with a Waterford-Wexford Goods and a second engine, No.68 was arriving with a Macmine Junction-Waterford Passenger Service, the Anti-Treaty forced the passengers off the train and had No.68 uncoupled and sent down a mile towards Macmine Junction where it was accelerated back up towards Palace East where No.51 and her goods train were sent down in the direction of No.68 creating a head on collision. Michael Forde, the hero of the DSER and the Merchants of Wexford just so happened to be one of the passengers but was unable to stop the collision but later he and his breakdown crew had the line open. Sadly however No.68 was severly damadged with twisted wheels and so No.68 had to be dragged to Chapel Station where it was put on siding and later dismantled and brought to Dublin in storage and later scrapped in 1925. No.51 had a twisted front making it too expensive to fix and was towed to Dublin and later scrapped in 1925. No.50 however survived and continued into the Great Southern Railways in 1925 as J7 Class No.447. Includes AJS Script
