**Tralee and Dingle Light Railway 4** was a was a narrow gauge locomotive built by [Hunslet Engine Company](/source/Hunslet_Engine_Company) in 1890.[1] It operated the [Tralee and Dingle Light Railway](/source/Tralee_and_Dingle_Light_Railway)'s 6 mi (9.7 km) [Castle-Gregory](/source/Castlegregory) branch in County Kerry, Ireland, until withdrawn in 1907.[1]

The locomotive had cabs at both ends and the controls were duplicated so there was no need to turn the locomotive round at each end of the route.[2]

The [Fry Collection](/source/Fry_Model_Railway) includes a model of the locomotive.[1] The picture of the Fry model shows a locomotive to apparently have a raised covered cab at both ends linked by the boiler with side tanks with the chimney extending though the somewhat longer cab at the *front* end.[a]

Following withdrawal the number 4 was taken in 1908 by No. 8 built in 1903, the number 8 then being taken a locomotive built in 1910.[3]
