Just 65 minutes after my picture of 44806 in the mist, the sun had burned it away from this location. 78019 passes Ty Newydd with the 1005 Carrog-Llangollen.

I like this, though I'm sure it will receive no comments whatsoever as is usual!! 44806 catches the rays of the setting sun as it arrives at Carrog with the 1825 service from Llangollen.

 Class 4 Standard Tank 80072 passes Garthydwr with the 1015 Llangollen. Has there been a more nauseating description of the coaches livery as blood and custard. And my blood is NOT that colour!!
