Thanks for that, a day off work is booked and I shall be there on Friday.

 

Still no word on footplate rides? I know there isn't much of the gala left - did they do any at all?

Nice photos.

Good to see a busy Platform 2 at Carrog

My images of the fourth of the Steel, Steam & Stars III themed days, North Western 1950's. are now available on my Zenfolio site here - Mick Rogers Photography | North Western 1950's Day 26th April 2012

The sun actually came out for all of ten minutes while I was in Llangollen today!

Cheers,
Mick

 

They are doing them, there's a sales stand on Llangollen station I believe. Unfortunately the person you are emailing is too busy to access a pc and no-one else seems to have taken this side of things up whilst the event is underway.

 

I have just had a message from Glyn (Admin) who says that the car park at Carrog is closed due to the feild being waterlogged. I am off there shortly so camping should be fun...

Neil.

 

That doesn't sound good. Not surprised though with all the serious drenching the country has received this week.

Hope its only a very temporary closure and can reopen before the Gala ends.

 

Neil there's got to be easier ways of scoring a day off parking duty than flooding a field ;-)

 

Can anyone advise on the times of the first few trains off Llangollen tomorrow? Will be buying a booklet once there but it'd be useful to know what time I've got to get out of bed in the morning! Thanks in advance folks.

 

0900 ex LLan, 70000 front, 49395 rear.
0935 ex LLan 58926

 

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated.

 

Can anyone confirm how many engines will be in the cavalcade on Sunday, and how many Carrog runpasts it will do?

Thanks,
Lewis

 

My second gallery is now up at ChrisKempster Photography | Steel, Steam & Stars III. Thanks to everyone working on this gala for a fantastic time.

 

And then suddenly, Stormtroopers!








And one normal one

 

That gave me a chuckle...thanks for sharing.

 

Even better than the pink feather duster!

 

Many thanks to those who have worked so hard to put on a fantastic event. For those who have not visited you still have two days - dont miss it !.

Raining today, yes - what the heck.

One constructive comment, by the afternoon the trains were getting cold - perhaps the steam heating should be back on by around 14.00 ?.

Best of luck over the next two days and thank you again.

 

Thought it was a raid by the RSG's Zontar!!

Lets hope it keeps the Storms away .........
