First view we saw was of GWR Prairie tank no 5199 and 246 Morayshire

Out of action inside Llangollen shed was 7822 Foxcote Manor

The superb sight of 46100 Royal Scot at Llangollen...

I vowed to always convert images of Royal Scot to Black & White on the basis that it should NOT be in Crimson Lake... Maybe I'm softening... just a bit

44801 & 246 Morayshire

It was a pleasant surprise to find 46100 Royal Scot without smoke deflectors.

246 Morayshire & 44801

246 Morayshire and 44806 (renumbered as 44801)

Atmosphere down at Llangollen shed

John Kennedy gave us a cheery wave as he moved away from the shed area with the autotrain sandwich. Between the two coaches was the Llangollen based pannier tank loco no 6430

6430 heads away to the shed exit in its Autotrain sandwich

246 Morayshire

The Dukedog no 9017 has now been painted black and heads away towards Carrog with the slightly delayed 8am departure. Did Pete waterman ramble on too long?

At Llangollen the RVP restored Observation car was attached at the back of the 9am departure..

After paying our supplement I finally viewed the interior. This carriage is normally located on the GCR. This was my first look inside.

With a shot straight into the sunshine through the dirty windows...

246 Morayshire reversed onto the stock in Llangollen station

246 Morayshire prepares to leave Llangollen with The Flying Scotsman (Egh???)

46100 Royal Scot slowly climbs Camden Bank away from Euston with The Royal Scot - well we can dream can't we? (BTW this was taken through the very dirty rear window of the observation carriage and into the sun... I'm quite pleased with the end result after all the work I had to do on it!)
