Lyd2-60 'Eryri' at Gelerts Farm Works on the WHR, June 1996 |
Lyd2-60 was built in 1977 for PKP for the Jarocin Railway in Poland, and biased at Witaszyce Shed.
After closure of the Jarocin System, No 60 was eventually brought by The WHR in July 1993.
No 60 hauled its first train on the WHR at the Autumn Bank holiday Gala, pulling a demonstration freight train.
On 23 October 1993, No 60 was
named "Eryri" and on that weekend entered revenue earning service on the WHR,
pulling all the passenger trains that weekend.
