Lyd (locomotive)
''Lyd'' is a narrow gauge steam locomotive built by the Ffestiniog Railway in their Boston Lodge shops over a period of 15 years.

Although externally similar in appearance, to ''Lew'', ''Lyd'' incorporates a number of modern design and construction techniques to improve overall efficiency. In order to navigate Garnedd tunnel, ''Lyds cab is fitted with removable side panels to change the roof profile. Operation ''Lyd'' was first steamed on 2 May 2010 during Ffestiniog's ''Quirks and Curiosities'' ev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
