Preservation
Two have been preserved by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland making them the most numerous class of preserved Irish steam locomotives. No. 186 is currently in working order, and is normally based at the society's Whitehead depot.
- No. 186, a Sharp, Stewart engine, has a superheated larger boiler with a Belpaire firebox and tender no. 375, a larger 3,345 imperial gallons (15,210 l; 4,017 US gal) tender.
- No. 184 has a smaller saturated boiler with round-topped firebox, and was paired with tender no. 156, an 1,864 imperial gallons (8,470 l; 2,239 US gal) outside-sprung tender. To give a larger water capacity, No. 184 has been paired with the larger tender when used on the Irish railway network.

Famous quotes containing the word preservation:
“The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“Is not our role to stand for the one thing which means our own salvation here but with which it will also be possible to save the world, and with which Europe will be able to save itself, namely the preservation of the white man and his state?”
—Hendrik Verwoerd (1901–1966)
