William didn't wait long for Taliesin to run on the Seibiant Hill Railway, indeed this pic was taken on the Saturday night, after we had got back from Tan-y-bwlch

By Wednsday night, Paul had arrived in the area, and joined me and William at Tony's Bryn Tydden light railway. Here is Alicia of the Moel-y-Guest light Railway on the viaduct.

Taliesin soon took over from Alicia, but found the long freight train tough going on the curves

This meant it was soon out of gas, and had to be rescued by Tony's NGG16, which although not pictured, managed to easily pull Taliesin and the massive train!

The Garratt then took the long train easily, and restoring my faith in Accucraft NGG16's somewhat

Paul, the happy cameraman

The last train of the day ran with Urien and Alicia double heading

William was also in photographic mood...

Finally on Thursday night it was back to the Seibiant Hill Railway, and Matt who was also on holiday in Wales joined us with his Lawley, unsteamed since its visit to the ANLR

Urien, Lawley and Alicia in the stabling siding, the Lady Anne's have got the Lawley surrounded!

A ride on the branch line of the Seibiant Hill Railway, notice also Paul trying to get into the video on the right...
Thanks again to William, Tony and Paul for being such great hosts and running companions, and for letteing half of the ANLR steam fleet run on their lines. Paul was doing plenty of filming, so I am hoping he is going to put together a video, although I think the bloopers reel from the footage he was taking would be very entertaining!
