Prydz er berømt over landegrenser! Litt usikkert hvorfor de har blandet inn Sverige...
"The text "Swedish Jodemans Railway, Norway" can be read on the stamp, which is quite puzzling, because the stamp shows a class XXIX, 1'C1' (2-6-2T) locomotive from the narrow gauge Urskog-Høland railway (U.H.B.). On closer inspection it appears to be No. 7, named "Prydz", the last engine provided before the close down of the line in 1960, as it looks after rebuilding and restoring by the railway museum foundation. More accurately this is the only member of the class XXIXb, 20 tons, 7.99 m l.o.b., built in Germany by Henschel & Sohn, delivered 1950. It got its name in 1952 after the general manager of the railway, Eigil Prydz. The three XXIX locomotives were recognized as being both economical and easy to drive. After the close down of the line, No. 7 served for 20 years at the Norwegian Railway Museum in Hamar, until it was returned to U.H.B., where it now can be seen pulling the museum trains. This stamp is one of nine stamps on a minisheet showing steam locomotives from different countries."
