- Hello & Welcome to Harnetty Railways
In this video we make our 2nd visit of the year to our friends at The Llangollen Railway during their normal B timetable operations with 1 steam loco running alongside a diesel multiple unit.
The steam loco running on the day of our visit was The Llangollen Railway Trust's GWR pannier tank 7754 restored in plain British Railways Green livery with British Railways lettering on the tanks.
Mostly it was a ride out day to get our 1st solo bash behind her since her return to steam last season during 2023 & the weather was on & off during the day which the weather made it ideal for Ducks.
The 1st run while the camcorders were turned off 7754 did develop an issue as her water injectors were playing up & the threat upon coming back at Llangollen as 1 of the resident diesel locos was standing by in case 7754 was declared failed.
However thanks to her crew the injector issue was cleared & her 2nd run of the day to Corwen which we filmed this run was at her more usual pace.
We end this video as we begun at Llangollen as we see her nicely in the sun as she took on water prior to returning to the sheds for the night.
Thanks for reading enjoy the film.

Great video as always Richard. Kind regards, Jake.
Nice video Richard :)
I went the following day, when the weather was lovely and there was no apparent problem with 7754. :) Someone on the staff must have seen this video, because there were people walking up and down the train ensuring all the windows were shut before it reached the tunnel. ;)
While we are used to seeing female drivers these days. it is great to see female steam footplate crew.
The issue came about because I wasn't there.
