...a trip to the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway. The weather could have been better, though most of the rain fell while we were on the train. Yes, we had a ride - might have thought twice about it, had we known a "Great Little Trains of Wales" coach party was on board. They filled three reserved coaches, leaving just one ex-Hungarian bogie coach for the rest of us.
Quite a load for the Earl, bless him - 2 bogies and 2 4-wheeled ex-Zillertal, and a damp rail. But he did well - just a brief slip by the first level crossing out of Welshpool, and arrival at Llanfair more-or-less on time.
I'll put up a "Rail Diaries" entry in a day or two - meanwhile, here's a preview.
