FORMER Dutch Railways 0-6-0DE No. 625 (690) (English Electric 2122/Vulcan Foundry D312 of 1956) is on indefinite loan to the Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway from RMS Locotec, and so is not regarded as preserved.
It arrived at Cynheidre on January 31 and was the last loco at Boden Rail, Washwood Heath, having been used to shunt the main locos there for departures to various locations.
This followed closure of the site to make way for an HS2 depot.
