With a lovely sunny afternoon in prospect I organised a last minute steam up. Only Laalratty & Big Graham could make it but we had a good time, especially with Laalratty, sorry I mean Uncle Keith's Taliesin in attendance.

Taliesin rounds the return loop.......

Lastly, here is a video of Taliesin climbing the bank to Wood Bell, seen from the platform of Wood Bell halt. I managed to get a few nice clips of it, the good chuff and steam plume make it very videogenic!
Thanks to SLRmidge for inviting me round
