Manufacturer description

Floyd Zrt. was one of the first open-access freight operators in Hungary and currently operates a varied traction fleet which includes a number of ex-BR locomotives. 56115 was exported to Floyd in September 2012 from Immingham Docks, after first being prepared at Nemesis, in Burton. Arriving with Floyd, the locomotive was given the distinctive 'Pink Floyd' livery and running number 659 002.

This model forms part of a range called the Euro Connection which features British locomotives operating on foreign shores.
