    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.

    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.
