GWR1213 was making a splendid sound climbing the gradient here. The steepest section - at 1 in 50 - is from Aberffrwd to Devil's Bridge. I was also impressed by the standard of the almost manicured permanent way [the track]

If I remember correctly, this little cutting opens out into Devil's Bridge station ... This last stretch of the line has enough of a gradient to make the locomotives work quite hard.

Almost ready for departure, the carriages were lightly loaded. ps I really hate that air pump, I wish they would hide it inside a fake extension to the side tank or something.
