Lyd is a steam locomotive built by the Ffestiniog Railway in their Boston Lodge shops and took 15 years to build. ''Lyd'' is based on the design of the Lynton & Barnstaple Locomotive E188 ''Lew'' which was built by Manning Wardle in 1925 for the Southern Railway, who owned the former independent line at the time. Being the newest L&B loco (the others had all been in use since 1898), ''Lew'' was the only one that wasn't scrapped following the closure of the line in 1935, and was used to dismantle the line before being shipped overseas to South America (possibly Brazil) and an uncertain fate.〔(L&B website ) ''(retrieved 4 October 2010)''〕 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. ''Lyd'' was first steamed on 2 May 2010 during Ffestiniog's ''Quirks and Curiosities'' event. ''Lyd'' was repainted into a primer coat black in July 2010. On 8 August 2010, ''Lyd'' first hauled a test train and, during Welsh Highland Railway's 2010 Superpower Weekend, was first used to hauled a passenger train. On the weekend of 18–19 September 2010, ''Lyd'' visited the Launceston Steam Railway, followed up by a visit to Woody Bay on the Lynton & Barnstaple for their Autumn Gala Weekend in September 2010. accompanied by ex-Lynton & Barnstaple coach 15 (now Ffestiniog coach 14) and Ffestiniog coach 102. ''Lyd'' was painted in early 1950s British Railways lined black livery and carrying the number 30190.〔http://www.festrail.co.uk/gallery_press/albums/Locomotives/Lyd/AT301000.jpg〕 In September 2011, ''Lyd'' was repainted in Southern Railway Maunsell Green and numbered E190. Initially completed as an oil-burner, but designed for easy conversion, Lyd was converted to coal-burning during the autumn of 2011, and was first fired with coal on 12 December.〔(Ffestiniog Railway website ''(retrieved 12 December 2012)'' )〕 In November 2012, ''Lyd'' was on static display at the NEC in Birmingham as the key exhibit of ''Lynton and Barnstaple World'' - an L&B-themed group of model railway layouts exhibited at the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition.〔(Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust official website ''(retrieved 3 April 2014)'' )〕 File:Lyd at Boston Lodge June 2009.jpg|''Lyd'' under construction at Boston Lodge (2009) File:Lyd at Porthmadog Harbour Station.jpg|''Lyd'' at Porthmadog Harbour Station, carrying a black livery (2010) ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lyd (locomotive)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
