===Ireland=== [[file:CIE no. 360 (32520107288).jpg|thumb|right|GS&WR Class 355 under [[CIΓ]] operation. The white roundel indicates that it burns oil.]] Several {{nowrap|2-6-0}} locomotive classes found usage on Ireland's railways, mainly with freight trains. The first of these would be the [[Great Southern and Western Railway]] [[GS&WR Class 355|Class 355]], which were originally built by the [[North British Locomotive Company]] as an [[0-6-0]] type in 1903, but later rebuilt into 2-6-0s after problems occurred; they were soon supplemented with the similar [[GS&WR Class 368|Class 368]]. Some of these locomotives were converted to [[Oil burner (engine)|oil firing]] and one even for peat-burning.<ref>Locomotives of the GSR, Jeremy Clements, 2008, {{ISBN|978-1-906578-26-8}}</ref> Later classes of 2-6-0 include the [[Dublin and South Eastern Railway]] [[DSER 15 and 16|nos. 15 and 16]] (with no. 15 being preserved), and the [[Great Southern Railways]] [[GSR Classes 372 and 393|Classes 372 and 393]], the latter of which were based on the British [[SECR N class|SECR N Class]].
