Steam in a rural setting

The 140-year-old former Corris Railway quarry engine, Sir Haydn, has just returned to work on the Welsh Talyllyn Railway after a three-year refit. Here it is in a beautiful Welsh Valley at Dolgoch during its first week back at work.

A splendid image. Position and timing are spot on.

Best regards

This has great memories for me, not only as I photographed it many times and made an AV about "A Trip one the Tallyllyn Railway with this engine, but my parents and my wife's parents retired to Tywyn! A great shot. Why has the driver got his hand out as though he is turning right, - he can't do that!!! John
