However, running it on the top line at speed did sort of make up for it
with the fire display there!

Oh dear ! Do I sense another story here ?
Funny you should ask!
Now, where does the story begin..............................
We already know that Britomart
ran and
ran and
ran and
ran
On a day not brilliant for photography, but great for steam effects!
While Snowdon was relegated to the sidings for most of the afternoon
and Blodwen performed impecably on the dual-gauge loop
What you haven't been told, is that Sir Haydn was in attendance with a certain "Lady"
and J.B.Earle looking stunning as ever and whose prototypical train just keeps growing!
Meanwhile Siobhan is seen at rest after some SPECTACULAR steam displays from her "pop" valve earlier!
You also weren't informed that Mr. Meths & Merddin turned up as a nice surprise!
or that this Baldwin was running like a proverbial Swiss Watch
But I suppose you
really want to know about "the fire"
Well, at
this location not long after
this photo
I was re-gassing Ogwen while Britomart was also being "fettled". The smell of hot steam oil & burning meths...... Mmmmmh!
The smell of burnt eyebrows when the "pool" of gas under Ogwen ignited...... Not so Mmmmh!
