RHTT 2008
24th October 2008

Just one 37 on 3J96, and no coverage-again-of the single line between Wrexham and Saltney Junction, not even a once weekly run, despite the tree lined line and Gresford Bank. If your train slips to a halt, I'm not to blame!

3S71 is difficult to photograph as it often runs very early in darkness, and doesn't make a pathing stop!. However I'll get at least one shot of it if its the last thing I ever do!

And don't expect "sunny" pictures, as I do not have control over the weather (unlike some) when I'm off-which is very rare.
