Slow and steady as she goes.!!!!!!!

[@jbhtrams]

Merry Christmas to all!
Thank Chris Parry for his selfy!!! It's a long time since we last met up. (Lilla in Liverpool!)
I hope to come down and see him with some more Wirral Transport Museum Volunteers in 2024.
A Happy New Year to all. Let's look forward to a good one?
Who would ever think that cars would be going slower in Wales than Ffestiniog trains!!!! (Cars 20mph, Ffesty 25mph!)
Very Best wishes

Excellent shot. Like!

[@schwarzermoritz]

Wow that is some glorious weather😮 great shots!

Glad to hear there's confidence in The Alco's frames, as I seem to recall concern in some quarters back before the big pull across The Cob. One of those things, when you consider it's lasted a century longer than it was designed for!
A good, comprehensive update from Patrick, especially the bit covering those vital tea making questions!!!
Nice to hear from S&T and look forward to seeing Waunfawr in the new year. Is that bog going to call for more extensive attention at some point? Recalling Goat cutting during the closed years, I'm guessing it's not the only soggy location on the RhE.

ive never noticed beofre how unusually large Mountaineer's valve chests are

[@MiG21aholic]

piston valve conversion. Required if running superheated steam - not sure if she's superheated or not though
