Welsh Highland Heritage Railway - 30 August 2018

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This Ruston & Hornsby 44/48hp 4wDM (Builder's number 203031 of 1942) was the largest type in the Ruston & Hornsby narrow gauge range during World War II, and many were built for use in defence establishments and for other wartime work. This locomotive was used at RAF Fauld in Staffordshire, where it was used for haulage in an unusual ordnance store, built underground in disused gypsum workings.

Following the closure of the base in 1981, the locomotive was purchased by the Llanberis Lake Railway where it was named BRAICH and was cannibalised for spare parts.

The locomotive was later obtained for the WHR, arriving in June 1998. It is currently (2005) on static display.
