Working hard along the Conwy Valley Branch. You could hear the couple of slips in the tunnels in the distance and then a lovely noise as it found its feet and raced up the valley

Approaching Rhyl

Meeting royalty at Blaenau.



And leaving Junction.



Fantastic nostalgic day. Brought back childhood memories of chasing her mainline tours in '78. Managed to arrange a ride back to Junction, so had my first trip behind her since Dinting break van rides as a kid!! Like meeting an old friend.
