The Garden Railway pics from laalrattys holidays

laalratty · Post by **laalratty** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 10:31 pm

I have now sorted the rest of my holiday pics, and here are the Garden Railway ones, I must first apologise however that there are none of Urien's visit to the Moel-y-Guest light railway, as I fogot my camera

However, here are some of the Seibiant Hill Railway and the Bryn Tydden light railway

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!

Taliesin and Urien at Seibiant Isaf

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!

No wrong again, it wasn't lawley and Urien that were fighting, it was Urien and Alicia, Paul's Lady Anne

I know which one I'd have, any time, of any day, of any year, of quite simply ever

Who said men can't Multi Task??

The camera did an awsome job of focusing on this one

"How did I do that?"

Goodnight from Weasel.

Well, whilst i was getting some pictures for the videos i have been doing lately off my camera i figured i should put some up on here. Once again must apoligize for the lateness of this!

Alicia and Urien sit on shed (or at least where the shed will go!) before being lit.

Over at the SHR we see Isabelle pausing for a photo op with Alicia and Lawley

Just Alicia and Lawley resting after duty

Urien and Alicia, the 2 Lady Annes sandwich Lawley as Isabelle passes in the background with a mixed train.

A nice low level shot i got of Urien rounding the curve into the cutting

Great stuff, I do like that last one of Urien, about as good as it's possible to get on the SHR

And thanks for posting some of when Urien visited the M-y-GLR and covering for my error

MoelygestLR · Post by **MoelygestLR** » Wed Sep 30, 2009 4:03 pm

yup!
Discovered a nice vantage point for Will there, though i think he may have forgot about it up until now!
