The Llangollen Railway
24th March 2006

Virtually all the shots herein were taken during visits to the Langollen Railway's "Steam, Steel & Stars" events in April 2007 and April 2009. Both were great events organised by the Betton Grange Society, in furtherance of their aim to build a brand new Grange class loco. I wish them the very best of luck and I hope they are successful. How about "Steam, Steel & Stars III" lads?

The sun has now fully emerged as 1450 passes 34081 "92 Squadron" with the 09.12 from Carrog. The Battle of Britain was having an ultimately unsuccessful struggle to pull the coaches of the 10.30 to Carrog out of the sidings. A combination of sticking brakes on the tender of the loco and on one of the coaches, in the end led to the train's cancellation. 20/4/07.

34081 "92 Squadron" passes Glyndyfrdwy with the 3pm from Llangollen. This shot was nearly a disaster as the sun disappeared behind a cloud as the the train came into view and the driver shut off. As you can see, the sun miraculously re-emerged and the driver had just opened up again as I pressed the shutter. 20/4/07.
