The Dee Valley by Night

The year has seen a busier than usual start for us. D5310 has been used on several works trains on the Corwen extension, the first being on Friday 3rd January.

The loco then took part in a successful Winter Warmer gala on 4th and 5th of January, working alongside steam and a DMU, but with passenger miles restricted due to lack of train heat. This did however mean we got to work a demonstration freight train, including at night on the Saturday of the event.

The below photo shows D5310 crossing 44806 at Goods Junction on Saturday 4th Jan. A privileged site for the crew of the 26, with the 5MT working one of her last trains in the Dee Valley before sadly leaving Llangollen for the NYMR.
