On the ANLR

[SLRmidge]

Due to a visit by SillyBilly today on the Afonglas & Nant Llywd Railway, I along with LMSjools were invited round to run. After general steaming the afternoon ended with some serious slate shifting from the quarry incline to the terminus of Afonglas......









As usual there were casualties!

Looks like alot of fun. I like the last picture, quite atmospheric

A most enoyable fternoon of Slate Train running.
Thank heavens there were younger people than I for all the kneeling though. lol

If I was there, you'd find Agnus & Pete could shift the whole lot in quick time
Great pics & I have to agree with taliesin that the last picture is very atmospheric. Leave that wagon to be claimed by plant life & take another photo in monochrome or sepia & it'll look smashing

[Sir Clothem Cap]

I'm inclined to agree

Sorry couldn't resist!

But great photos and I do like the incline section very welsh slate.

Finally time for some pics from me, although I didn't take many, being the GM of a working slate railway is very hard work!!!

Things started off very conventionally, with SLR Midge's Edrig and a goods train

However, the steam visitor from the Seibiant Hill Railway (defunct) was Will's mamod, and his first carriages

Many thanks to all those who came and took part in the little bit of service running. If nothing else, I know where to make improvements (of which there need to be a few ) to make running the incline more reliable

I didnt know that Bills railway was defunct

looks fun, wish I could attend some of these events
