Super D at Glyndyfrdwy IV

The sudden arrival of loads of blokes, nearly all wearing orange high visibility vests and toting expensive camera gear announced the imminent passage of the early morning photocharter train past our windows.   The locomotive was 'Super D' No 49395, and as things turned out, this was my only chance to see it in action in daylight as it failed with a broken spring on its way back to Llangollen, leaving Llangollen Railway residents Nos. 5199 and 7822 Foxcote Manor to provide motive power for all of the daytime services.   The 'Super D' was repaired in time to take its place on the first of the evening beer trains out of Llangollen.
