Palmerston has a long history with the Vale of Rheidol Railway. Not only a visit ten years ago but periods of hire in the 1920s.

After a period on display in the new museum it will go into VoR works for the ten year overhaul. It will then haul some trains and star in the August gala before returning to home metals in time for our Bygones Weekend.

JUST A NORMAL SATURDAY...Meanwhile, as well as running 'The Snowdonian' special, it was basically 'carry on as normal' on the F&WHR today...OK, we didn't run any 'Mountain Spirit' services to Blaenau Ffestiniog to leave room for the special train, but we did run two trips of 'The Victorian' train to Tan-y-Bwlch, 'The Quarryman' from Blaenau Ffestiniog, 'The Harbourmaster' to Caernarfon and - in the opposite direction - the 'Snowdonia Star' to Porthmadog.Here's a selection of photos from today's 'normal' passenger train services..! ...
