G’day from Oz. As a Life Member of LR based Downunder I thoroughly enjoyed the well filmed video thanks. I visited the Railway last June just a few days after the Opening Day for my first trip into Corwen behind Steam (68067).
Was great to see 7754 and 3802 back in traffic. I will be back visiting Llangollen again this coming September. Keep up the good work. Cheers - Puf’n-Pete

Looks like you enjoyed yourself Phil.

[@philclarke3203]

Yes I did Mike. Great to see the railway back on its feet again. Lovely scenery and weather too.

nice video but one thing who ever approved blocking off the end of the bridge is an idiot like seriously that's just ridicules like could of let the railway go a little further back so 1 shunting stuff out of that siding where the mailvan is like almost impossible and they can't get anything bigger then that GWR freight engine like come on

[@philclarke3203]

Thanks. Yes I know what you mean.
