When I saw Drakensberg in the museum [during a visit in April 2024] I wondered how easily she would work trains up the 1in50 above Aberffrwd.
e2a = The answer - very easily ! although she did bark a bit on the some of the sharper bends in this section.

Chosen this as my favourite image taken in September 2024 for the Sunday Challenge Group.
Difficult decision as not only did I take a lot of images this month, I also wanted to chose one of Bella as my favourite but my enthusiasm for steam won !
