Steam Down The Glaslyn

[CaptainPenguin]

Ever since I first heard of the plan to restore the Welsh Highland railway I have been wanting to get a shot of a steam train and the Afon Glaslyn and although these were rather rushed I am pleased to finally have them

Cracking couple of shots,shame the tree slightly obscures the engine in the first though
...but for 'rushed' shots

Thanks Martyn I saw the train a bit further up the valley and luckily there was a parking space so it was grab the camera get to the waters edge and try not to fall in

I really like the first shot.
My friend is a train driver on the WHR and I was lucky enough to get a ride on the footplate....and drive the train
