Taliesin exits the reproduction of an Aberglaslyn Pass tunnel
To go with Taliesin I bought my Ffestiniog set and the "Y Cymro" headboard
Backlighting as Taliesin enters Bwlch Pennant

PTLRcecil had bought along Guenevere seen here about to cross Nantmor Road bridge
LMSjools' pairing of David William and Merlin at the same spot (which was quite precarious to get to, being high above the stream on a steep slope!)
The LMS pair pass the quarry
Same pair at Abbey Junction
Whilst PTLRsam started off with his Archangel Sgt Murphey. Unfortunatly it found a rough section of track at the bottom of a hill a few times!
Sgt Murphey rattles into Abbey Junction
Most people bought at least 2 engines, PTLRcecil's second was Lesley Kay, seen here with a resident Ffestiniog set
Colour co-ordinated Russell's cross at Abbey Junction
My Russell with its new smokebox handrail, fitted by PTLRcecil

Entering the section
The Russell's teamed up on a 6 car FfR set
Russell's in the landscape
Resident and visiting Mountaineers, one Roundhouse and the other Peter Angus/Mike Lax
The third ANLR loco was Criccieth Castle, although with plenty of steam locos it didn't see much use
PTLRcecil's locos doublehead
Guenevere and Lesley Kay again
PTLRsam also brought the Peter Angus Linda
What's this hiding in the steam?
TonyW's NG15, thats what! The 6 car train was a bit short for it though. I look forward to seeing this with a longer train some day really showing what it can do
Passing the yard

Linda in the quarry
More South African superpower, this time its Black Combe from the PTLR
So James, wish you had attended now?
Tony's Lilla in the yard. A fine piece of modelling, notice how the bufferbeam is slightly bent, this is actually prototypical
The final NWAG train was the traditional ANLR/PTLR double header. Russell and Lesley Kay took 10 Ffestiniog carriages with not much fuss. The headboard is for "The Snowdonian" and is a purchase by PTLRcecil from Harbour Station shop last week!
The final pic as the double header approaches Bryn-y-felin bridge over the stream
A massive thank you to Dave for allowing not just me, but the rest of the NWAG members who made the journey to visit. Also thanks to the North Wales attendees, it added to the event significantly. Thoughts are already turning to a repeat event next year, quite possibly on the AGM day....
