The Belah Valley Light Railway.

Its some time since I visited this line. The weather was pretty blustery but we managed to get some service running in until the wind got the better of us and we gave up when rolling stock started being blown off this exposed railway.  :shock:

A rather full train shed!!



Not long before the wind finally beat us!!!

Well here are my pics from a rather gusty steamup. I was having visions of the Jubilee bridge disaster when the wind picked up just after I steamed Taliesin, luckily the wind picked on other locos today

Today marked the grand return of my Roundhouse Millie to full service following a thourough overhaul at the Dinorwic Light Railway works. It was even re-christened into service by bumping into a cup of coffee on its first lap! Performance was a wind effected rather, and also having Midge keeping on stopping on the line ahead didn't help

Here is the aforementioned SLR loco holding things up

Tom Rolt has been at the LMS works for chuffer fitting, and LMS jools has kept it for extensive running in trials!

A rather strange combination that actually looked quite good to me!

Finally, Jools is kept busy in the quarry....
Many thanks to our hosts at the BLR, and also to LMS jools for providing transport

Most enjoyable day with service running too.
Many thanks to our host at the Belah Valley Railway.

If the first pic by midge was edited so that the wooden trackbed was made into a slate wall that would look pretty realistic!
