Llangollen Railway 60's Weekend - 27th & 28th July

It was there yesterday, unfortunately I didn't print the tt as the link has gone as you point out!

 

It's on now - I was on the phone to the office just as they put it on this morning.

Bob.

 

Just a query then, as I suspect all of the trains shown in the timetable are passenger diagrams, are any freights planned?

 

Sorry about that, the file had been removed in error. Steam diagrams have now been confirmed. Black 5 45337 should be fit to run, pending a further test run taking place now to confirm a hot box issue on the front bogie has been resolved.

Class 26 D5310's diagrams have been revised slightly. The loco will now work the 09:40, 12:05, 14:35, 21:00 (Saturday only) and 22:30 (Saturday only)trains.

A revised TT will be uploaded to the LR website later today. The one currently online does not have the steam diagrams. Please be patient - we'll get it sorted asap!
The beer has all arrived and is tapped and ready to go. 100 vintage vehicles are expected at Glyndyfrdwy over the weekend. Live music starts at Llangollen at 4pm on Saturday.
Here's looking forward to a great weekend!

Whilst there won't be a freight working, there is a mixed train with the two superbly restored suburban coaches and Presflo cement wagon, which will make for an interesting working - just a shame we can't go all the way to that new-fangled Nuclear power station thingy near the coast at Transwotsit!

 

Sorry to be of more bother, but will there be an allocation on the timetable then of which trains are diagrammed with which stock? I think for me tomorrow, a run with the weathered 5, a Presflo and suburban coaches is the must see!

Oh, and if possible, which was is the 5 facing? I know of the other two steam, they are facing towards Carrog?

 

Just to confirm that 45337 or 45156 is fit to run and as of 18.30 this evening was in Llangollen yard all fit and ready to go in her "weathered condition".

Many thanks to all the lads at Llan Engineering for their efforts this week and thanks also to Tez and Ian for doing the weathering, hope the gala goes well for you all .

Great news! Certainly will be the star of the show! Hope she's spending the day on the Suburbans?

 

Hope not, blue/grey mk1 behind a weathered black 5 please!

Thanks to all those that supported the event, it was a great success.
