Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway
190 Lyd
Based on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Manning Wardle 2-6-2T Lew
Built 2010
Construction on the locomotive began in Cornwall, before moving to Boston Lodge on the Ffestiniog Railway. The boiler was constructed at Israel Newton, Bradford. The locomotive first steam during the Quirks & Curiosities Gala in 2010, before moving under its own steam for the first time on 5th August 2010.
We first see the locomotive in action in 2011 at Porthmadog Harbour station and Penrhyn crossing, in BR Black livery carrying the number 30190, a what might of been livery if the L&B had lasted until nationalisation.
We then see the locomotive in its more common Southern Railway livery operating on both the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways on service trains and special trains, including double heading with Blanche and on The Snowdonian railtour with fellow L&B replica 762 Lyn.
The locomotive went under its first 10 yearly overhaul in 2020.
