Dyfrdwy Tramway: Saturday running...

The first sunny weekend for sometime and with the kids out it seemed a quiet chance to play with the tramway myself. The Andrew Barclay steamed for 40 odd minutes shunting up and down the line, maintaining pressure with the quietest and lowest of burner adjustment...

The first train of the day takes fuel up to the mill and Quarry...

A lovely shot here at the mill with the wonderfully scale flowers (actually a weed in the grass) alongside as the coal has been dropped off and a start made ready for the Quarry...

Back down at the wharf an interesting shot through the trees, as the gunpowder awaits a trip to the Quarry...

Once steam ran out the new Hudson Hunslet had a run to take it through its paces. Despite the fact it's currently unballasted it did very well indeed, no problems at all with my gradients.

All in all, a lovely afternoon, and capturing an image like this make's all the effort worth while, it's a fantastic hobby. More soon...
