A visit to the Colwyn Garden Railway

Post by DolwyddelanLightRail » Sun Jul 03, 2011 1:43 pm

Once again I paid a visit to the Colwyn Garden Railway nearby school with Pheonix, anyhow, here are the pics from a brilliant afternoon:

Pheonix on shed warming up

Image

Hauling a mixed train up a steep incline! (even though it's not that noticeable in the picture)

Image

Smoking out the viaduct!

Image

Image

and smoking out everywhere else!

Image

Image

Running up the incline towards the tunnel

Image

The inside of his shed, and yes, he does have a 5" gauge line as well!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The clag left in the tunnel after the train went through!

On shed again later on, this time with the railways resident loco:

Image

The last ever Samson made by cheddar!

Image

and I have to say this loco did impress me very much! It went for 50 mins and the gas tank wasn't even full! and it was it's first run in over 9 months!

Image

Image

Image

Pheonix was running round light engine

Image

Across the viaduct with the 5" gauge line in the background

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Later on Pheonix ran out of gas, so the Samson shunted it out the way!

A very enjoyable afternoon was had, and many thanks to the hosts! :D
