| | The biography of eminent Irish Engineer Richard Maunsell, he became the pupil of H.A. Ivatt at the Great Southern & Western Railway Works at Inchicore in 1888, his career progressing through to to the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway under Aspinall, and then on to the East Indian Railway as consulting engineer - this was a big progression as the EIR had some 36,000 miles of track. He was to return to Inchicore and by 1913 his achievements in Ireland enabled him to secure a post with the South Eastern & Chatham Railway and subsequently the Southern Railway where his best known work was done. Maunsell's famous 'Moguls' were built during this time along with 'Schools' class and of course the 'Lord Nelsons' among others. He retired in 1937, but this was not before he had taken tentative steps into the diesel era. Continent: Europe
