The Irish steam loco. register. Stockport:
Irish Traction Group, 1993.
This book is extremely short of navigational aids: thus the Dublin

contents listing (there is no index) places the user no nearer than somewhere
between page 57 and 115. Once the Irish page is complete this deficiency
will be rectified.
