I managed to capture this train at five different locations today. It was a windy and cold day, which made it difficult at times to pan smoothly at full zoom, so my apologies for uneven panning on the clip out of Llandeilo. The first clip shows the pair in full swing as the pass Llandarcy on the Swansea District Line. We then see the pair leaving Llandeilo as they head for Llandovery. They were 20 mins early leaving Pantyffynnon, but were held at Llandeilo for a down Passenger allowing an on time departure. It was the a quick dash to capture the climb up to Sugar Loaf Summit over the wonderful viaduct at Cynghordy, where I was sheltered from the wind, and the sounds from these locos was quite magical. The next shot was an added bonus, as with seconds to spare I walked onto the station at Llangammarch Wells and the train came through. Finally a few shots at Llandrindod Wells Station, where the train was scheduled for a stop over for three hours or so. I hope you enjoy the results of my days work.
