TDLR 5

Tralee and Dingle Light Railway 5 is a 2-6-2T locomotive manufactured by the Hunslet Engine Company in 1892 for the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway.

It is difficult to understand why the Tralee and Dingle acquired this particular locomotive. Perhaps they were looking for a locomotive more suited to passenger work, the pony truck should give a better ride for the crews over lightly laid track, perhaps the extra truck was needed to keep the axle-weight down as No. 5 was some 9 tons heavier than the other, earlier Hunslets or, as it was fitted for oil-burning from new it could be that Hunslets, in looking for a narrow gauge railway on which to demonstrate their product, gave a good deal on the price, and railways were always looking for a good deal to help their finances. Regardless of which No. 5 arrived in 1892 and on the 1925 amalgamation became the sole representative of GSR Class 5T or Class PN2.

History

Tralee and Dingle locomotive No. 5 was delivered from its builders, The Hunslet Engine Company, of Leeds as their works number 555 in 1892, ready fitted for oil-burning. It is believed that this was a prototype and Hunslet were looking for a railway to demonstrate its product, one of the first for narrow gauge. The T&D also purchased two oil-burning units for fitting to its other locomotives but they were never used. No.5 was converted to burn coal after only a short career as an oil-burner.

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is a state agency of Texas.

TDLR refers to itself as "the umbrella licensing agency of the state", dealing primarily with most, but not all, "non-professional" occupations (i.e., those not requiring four-year or advanced college degrees) such as cosmetologists and electricians (plumbers are licensed through a separate board). "Professional" occupations (i.e., those requiring a four-year or graduate degree) are licensed through separate agencies, such as the Texas Medical Board which handles the licensing and professional discipline of doctors.

TDLR has its headquarters in the Ernest O. Thompson State Office Building in Downtown Austin.
