Trip up to Llangollen in North Wales for the Railways Branch Line Gala.

Visiting Loco 6880 Betton Grange Steaming for the first time in 2024, the frames of this new-build locomotive were laid down at Llangollen in 1998. Leaving Llangollen in 2018 for completion at Tyseley Locomotive Works, what a return it’s made today, fantastic 👌

Visiting loco Class 14 No D9525. Built by British Railways at Swindon in 1964. D9525 will be only the second Class 14 to work on the railway, the last time being a short visit from D9521 in 2010.
D9525 will be joining the Railway for a minimum of 12 months. Nicknamed “Teddy Bears” by Swindon works and powered by a 650 horsepower Paxman Ventura engine driving a Voith hydraulic transmission, this interesting little loco is in full working order and recently a received a repaint into British Railways two tone green livery.

Home Fleet

This includes Heavy Freight 2-8-0 No 3802 and Pannier Tank No 7754, making for quite a Western line up. Ex-Austin Motor Company Kitson 0-6-0ST “Austin 1” was the first steam locomotive to haul a public passenger train on the railway in preservation.

Thanks for Watching 👀👍
