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.

This is Glorious! 10 years ago, who could have pictured this? Too many years back, when I first began that one-way infatuation with the old L&B, I never would have believed this possible. Even if I don't live long enough to see the L&B completely reborn, at least I'll have these wonderful images, and their sounds.
Very nice! I was just discussing Lew, Lyn, and Lyd a few minutes ago. This really shows that the L&B was not dead, but sleepeth!
Quote from Chris E Green I believe
@@jackminett768 I’m sure he’s quoted it too but it’s from Charles Ford’s note at Barnstaple station on the L&B ‘Perchance it is not dead, but sleepeth’
Excellent!
Great selection of shots.
Wow. Interesting.
Nice done video :)
YAY NEW TRAIN
Three cheers for the Prince of Wales.
What is the purpose of the enormous platform in front of the smokebox?
I can see now that it covers the leading wheel set. When you look at the wheel set arrangement, the cab overhangs the trailing wheels by some distance. Why are these locomotives designed with the wheelsets so far forward?
It’s the running board. As you say covers the wheels but also gives you a surface to stand on and to use
Balance out the centre of mass? There's spreading the weight across many axels in order to reduce wear on the track, but also ensuring the driving wheels align with the centre of mass.
9:46 Whose the Tender-Tank engine Lyn is doubleheading with?
Blanche
