Crossing the "up" train at Aberffrwd, pulled by No.7 [also known as Owain Glyndwr] built in 1923.

Detail of the motion on Drakensberg's uphill power bogie - above is the water tank. I gather that the weight of this helps with adhesion when working hard.

At Aberffrwd we passed No.10, the Baguley-Drewry locomotive, on a short PW / works train. I presume that the staff had been engaged on lineside maintenance.

Brass threshold plate stating that this carriage was rebuilt in 2020 by the Vale Of Rheidol Railway. {it is either 4995 or 4996, which were originally built in 1938 at Swindon}. The ceiling features local birds, and this door plate mosaic is likely to be a depiction of a Sewin / Sea Trout.

Drakensberg at Aberystwyth, having just arrived with the 12:30 ex-Devil's Bridge. This Garratt [2-6-2+2-6-2], No.60 aka Drakensberg was built by Hanomag, in Hanover, Germany in 1927. Privately owned, she came to Aberystwyth in 2017 for overhaul and entered passenger service in 2022. Seen previously in the museum during April 2024 ...

Running in board [station name board] at the upper terminus of the Vale of Rheidol Railway. Devil's Bridge in Welsh is Pontarfynach. I do like the design of the fence around the back of platform, and the flower beds are still making a good show of colour.
