    A few spaces left on the Charter

    There are a few spaces left for our photo charter on the 14th, this is a great oppertunity to sample the delights of the Blaenavon Extension by steam 6 months before everyone else. 6435 will be working up the 1 in 28 grade from Blaenavon with goods and passenger trains. Contact Simon on the details in a pervious post for information.

    All,

    Please find the finished and finalised timetable for the Gala this weekend attached.

    6435 will be at the head of each train with either Ivor or 19 banking or with 19 double heading.

    The biggest Steam event EVER at the PBR and the shape of things to come!

    Hope you all enjoy it!

    I enjoyed the couple of hours I spent at the gala yesterday.

    Several runs behind 6435 pannier tank which was working hard up a very steep line.
    3 working locos.
    A trip around the works yard which included ex Barry locos 5668 and 4253 plus pannier 9629 under restoration.
    Blue skies and Welsh countryside - All for a Fiver

    Bargain

    Nice cup of tea as well (extra)

    See you again next year when the extention is finished.
