Spring (Diesel Day) Cleaning

Our March 31st Spring Diesel Day timetable and loco diagrams are now available at: http://www.llangollen-diesels.org.uk/?page_id=1179

6940 was successfully started and tested today following several days of reactivation work and careful checks after winter storage. Following passing an FTR exam and brake test, the loco worked a test trip to Glyndyfrdwy and back hauling D5310 for insurance. All continued to appear well aftewards, a big relief after previous year’s woes.

Well done to all concerned, shown below, who have braved the wind, hail and sleet to bring our Type 3 out of slumber. Welcome also to our new recruit, Mr Mitchell.

Thanks to Bryn Jones for the phots.

And between shunts Llangollen shed saw a most atmospheric line up. Thanks to Paul Williams for the photo. Roll on Diesel Day on March 31st!

The PLEG shunter shuttle has now sold a whopping 62 tickets, but places are still available at £15 a ticket. See PLEG’s website or e-mail kev.adlam@pleg.org.uk for more details.
