Good Morning! Strange - since we changed our clocks, I get up an hour earlier instead of later. That makes it two hours less sleep. Ray - [bow] for that blacksmith shop! I´ll be working on the next segment this afternoon. I hope Lothar and I can finish it, and maybe # 3 as well. With a little luck, the benchwork will be up by the end of the week! We have not yet finished our tour of the northwest of Wales, so let´s board our minibus and head for Llangollen, home of the Llangollen Railway on the River Dee. You will notice that the gauge of the line is somewhat broader than the ones we have seen in the past days. It´s standard gauge, so let´s assume it is an honorary narrow gauge line! <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Llangollen_railway_station.jpg" alt=" " /> In its 98th year of operation, the line fell victim to Dr Beeching´s axe. Resurrection came in 1972, after a decade of sleep. New track was laid withn the help of volunteers, and a viaduct refurbished. Progress was slow, so it was not before 1986 when the first train was run. The Llangollen Railway operates a number of steam locos, from small 0-6-0 tank engines to full-fledged mainline passenger locos. <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/59768000/jpg/_59768311_dsc01705.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/44806_Llangollen_Station_(1).jpg" alt=" " /> Enjoy this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJHNkLgQXHY" target="_blank">video</a> of the Llangollen Railway. Have a great day!
