Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway (W&LLR) steam locomotive number 19 was built in 1954 by (unicode:Uzinele de Fier și Domeniile din Reșiţa S.A.) () based in (unicode:Reșiţa) (Romania). It was imported to the UK in 2007 having been restored to working condition at Remarul ''16 Februarie'' Locomotive Works in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Prior to restoration the locomotive had been stored at (unicode:Crișcior).〔 The locomotive (and its sister W&LLR 18) are articulated using the Klien-Lindner system. Articulation allows the locomotives to negotiate much tighter curves than their equivalent rigid frame 0-8-0 locomotive could. In Romania the locomotives operated on the network. The W&LLR is 2 mm wider. The locomotive originally saw service on the Romanian Forest Railways, hauling timber. It was later sold to FC Turda, a cement works. Numbered as FC Turda 764.425 and painted in a black livery, the locomotive was regularly used to haul trains on the W&LLR. During 2011 the locomotive was taken out of service for an extensive overhaul.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wllr.org.uk/news.htm#Progress%20with%20the%20Overhaul%20of%20Locomotive%20No.19 )〕 The overhaul was completed in time for the 2012 gala but unfortunately the locomotive suffered a serious failure in summer 2013 and is now stored awaiting a decision on its future. ==W&LLR number 18== The W&LLR also possess Reşiţa 1679 (CFF 764.423). This loco was acquired from the defunct Ystwith Railway, who had previously imported it from Romania. It is currently held as a source of spares for No. 19. 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「Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway steam locomotive number 19」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
