==Rebuild== No. 87 Kestrel was the first to be rebuilt in 1946 and was the first GNR loco to receive a [[Harland & Wolff]]-built square topped [[Belpaire firebox]]. ''Merlin'' had one fitted in 1950 with its old boiler rebuilt as a spare. The V Class was chosen to haul the new ''[[Enterprise (train service)|Enterprise]]'' non-stop service between Dublin and Belfast in August 1947. The premium service was limited to seven bogie coaches. In the early 1950s the 'Pounders' shared most of the heavy main line work with the newer [[GNRI Class VS|VS Class]] but, with the introduction of new [[British United Traction]] DMUs in 1957, the class was relieved of its main duties.
