The Northern Counties Committee Class U2 was a class of 18 4-4-0 passenger steam locomotives built for service in Northern Ireland. Seven were new engines built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, three were new engines built at the committee's York Road works in Belfast, four were renewals of Class A engines and four were rebuilds of Class U engines. The first was built in 1924 and the last was outshopped in 1937. Because the Glasgow-built engines were so well finished, the class gained the nickname Scotch Engines even though under half were built there. No. 74 Dunluce Castle is the only preserved Northern Counties Committee tender engine.
