JULY 2012 - PAGE THREE
 

 Conwy again, you simply cannot get too much of this! 29/07/2012

 "William" was bringing up the rear. 29/07/2012

 The train reversed again at the Junction and 47798 led through Dganwy to Llandudno. 29/07/2012

 Strange to see an A4 being dragged backwards. 29/07/2012

 Once again there was a rapid reversal and this time the A4 led round the curve by the former Deganwy Castle Hotel, currently being converted into apartments. 29/07/2012

 Again a pause at Llandudno Junction allowed me to have a second go and this time it was down at Llanddulas beach. The low Sun was catching the train as it sped along the coast towards the viaduct. 29/07/2012

 Llanddulas viaduct. 29/07/2012

 The crew spent much of their time waving to the crowds - great stuff you guys.

 .....and finally. 29/07/2012

 The last day of July (where did Summer go?) and another "Welsh Mountaineer" hits the coast. This time it's the return of 48151, running tender first as it passes through Llanddulas. 31/07/2012

 The locomotive runs tender first to allow access to the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch without having to run to Valley to turn. 31/07/2012

 After a short pause at the Junction the train heads down the valley to Blaenau. Seen here crossing the road at Ffordd Maelgwyn crossing. What a year for steam in North Wales. 31/07/2012
