Steel, Steam & Stars III

828 at Llangollen XII

I travelled up to the Dee Valley yesterday and will be enjoying a massive steam fix over the next seven days at the 6880 Betton Grange Society promoted Steel, Steam & Stars III gala on the Llangollen Railway.   With eleven locomotives rostered in different combinations, there will be plenty to see over the next week.   Yesterday was billed as Scottish Day, and the undoubted star was the Strathspey Railway's 818 class 0-6-0 No. 828, which looked superb in its Caledonian Railway blue livery.   Also appearing were BR Standard class 7 No. 70000 Britannia and ex-LMS Stanier Black 5 No. 44806, which masqueraded as No. 44801, a Scottish Region locomotive.   Today I have three locomotives with West Midlands associations to look forward to.
