First out was Taliesin whilst the visitors arrived
PTLRcecil soon had my uncle's rarely seen Locobox Garratt in steam, rarely seen because its spent more time away being repaired then it has on the running roster. It was back for some demonstration runs but returned to the PTLR as the repair bill hasn't been paid yet (my uncle was away yesterday)
Taliesin sits at the water tower at Afallen
Taliesin makes its way downhill round the headland
Having crossed with Tal at Afallen, Scafell ascends the hill
Next out was Kittiwake from the SLR North
Scafell put in a high mileage and it looks like its problems are finally over (touch wood....)
The Black Lady Anne contracted to the PTLR was seen again...
Passing trains at Afallen
Paused at Ty Pren
Accucraft Earl, a recent purchase for the Little Morecambe Steam Railway
No Christmas steamup is complete without this guy (although he was last seen at the ANLR Christmas event in 2008)
The PTLR staff had a vintage day, alas it didn't quite go to plan. First Sam got out Sammy which ran but didn't steam particularly well. Then Sam tried his mamod based tram which unfortunately failed with a safety valve blowing too low to raise steam
The train looked well as the night drew in
Then I tried the night setting on my camera against the Christmas lights in the garden....
Double headed Lady Annes cast in a blue haze
Mellow yellow lighting by the junction for the lower balloon loop
Finally by dads latest building, based on Coed-y-Bleiuddau on the Ffestiniog (spelling not guaranteed....)
Thanks to everyone that attended, it was a great afternoon
