The PKP class Lyd2 (manufacturer designation L30H) is a narrow gauge diesel-hydraulic locomotive built by FAUR (formerly 23 August Works) in Romania, for use initially for sugar cane railway in Egypt with later variants developed for use in Poland, Romania and Albania. It was commissioned by Polskie Koleje Państwowe for service on the railways of Poland.
The Lyd2 classification gives the technical details of the locomotives in Polish State Railways (PKP) system. L indicates a narrow gauge locomotive, y indicates 3 axles (0-6-0 or C), d indicates diesel fuel, and finally, 2 indicates hydraulic transmission. [1]
The locomotive is configured with a single cab, with driving positions for both directions. The diesel engine (Maybach MB83B built under licence) produces 345 brake horsepower (257 kW) though documentation shows a peak rating of 415 bhp (309 kW) from a normally aspirated engine. Transmission occurs via hydraulic transmission TH5R-V6. Train braking is via the single pipe air system.
15 locomotives are listed as operative in Poland during 2013. They are split between Białośliwie, Żnin, Cisna (Bieszczady Forest Railway), Bytom Karb (Lyd2-101 since 2020), Środa Wielkopolska (since 2020), Piaseczno and Koszalin depots. Another 14 locomotives are listed as non-operational. [2]
