No I belive you are saying NWAG as a whole is insane, when in fact 8 out of 10 invading cats on the ANLR* belive that the majority of NWAG insanity is confined to the SLR north and the LMSR!

*This pointless comment may mark me as insane as well

Your right that commentmakes you insane as well as rhe SLR and LMS.
However next year a certain video will show the world the PTLR is both insane and brilliant.

Well, by waiting a month or so and putting up some more pics of Taliesin, i'm de-bunglefying this topic

I steamed Tal up today to make sure I'd fixed the one potential major problem that it had after the Jubilee bridge disaster, a steam leak from the underside. I'm glad to say that the combined minds of the ANLR engineering team (me and dad

) did manage to stop the leak, indeed the engine is working just as fantastically as before the incident

Taliesin approaches the terminus at Nant Llywyd

Rolling into Afallen

Pure Ffestiniog if you ask me

Waiting time at Afallen
Another reason for the run was to test the newly weighted carriages in a strong wind (ok I probably didn't pick the right engine after last time...

), however 2 passed, a third was already ok but the FfR IP engineering kit still needs more weight

Why is it Christopher that sometimes you really make me dislike you

?

Yet more awsome photos, last one is great, reminds me of the old Summer Vintage Trains before we had defined sets, the Tal wasn't used as much on pasenger trains.

Have I missed it or do we need a "drooling" emoticon?!

Glad to hear that your Taliesin is back to its former self :D

Good to hear you got that leak sorted. What was it that it was leaking from?

laalratty · Post by **laalratty** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:46 pm

looks like it was just the gasket where the exaust pipe exits the cylinder valve block between the cylinders. Probably got disturbed with all of the mud that filled the chimney displacing the exaust pipe
