If you are interested in going to see this (there is the shell of a Bus Eireann M-class Leopard forming part of the front fence at the minute), take a bus from either Ballynahinch (sce 18) or Downpatrick (sce 17) to Newcastle *via Castlewellan* and get off in Annsborough, right at the bottom of the very steep hill. A short way up the hill (towards Castlewellan on the left hand side) is Station Road; 5 minutes walk round here will bring you to the gate of the scrapyard where you can see the M-class Leopard. They used to have a few Dublin bus Atlanteans sitting around as well but I don't know if there's much there at the minute.
BTW the normal way of getting from Castlewellan to Ballynahinch would be to take a Downpatrick bus (17) as far as Clough and change there on to a Belfast bus coming from Newcastle via Dundrum (20). The Castlewellan - Ballynahinch back roads service (18) isn't very frequent. All the buses between B'hinch and Belfast are also service 18.
