See picture 20781 for her at Mold earlier in her life. She had more front repeaters then. Was this a straight swap for LJC487R which went from Wrexham to Mold?

Yes it was a straight sawp. The reason it had more repeaters in her early life is the she sustained front end damage in 1975 when she skidded on mud in Sychdyn and was rebuilt in Rhyl workshops.

Was this by the Cross Keys when the pump ended up as a garden ornament?

I think it was Gary. L/Fm Tony Bennet was involved in an accident at the time heading, he was heading towards Northop. He ended up in someone’s garden narrowly missing a tree and got wedged between it and the house
