Number 19 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 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.
The locomotive originally saw service on the Romanian Forest Railways, hauling timber. It was later sold to FC Turda 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.] The overhaul was completed in time for the 2012 gala but in June 2013 the locomotive sheared a driving axle crank web leaving Welshpool. Following this serious failure the locomotive was stored.
In June 2016 764.425 was sold and after overhaul by Calea Ferata Ingusta in Romania now works on a tourist railway at the Tankodrom military theme park at Milovice in the Czech Republic.
