What a fabulous line this is – and now extended to Corwen. The beautiful Dee Valley looked even better in the late afternoon sunshine. They have made a great job of the new station at Corwen, constructed by volunteers in convincingly authentic GWR style, with the second island platform road being used as the run-round loop for the locomotive. We were spoiled yesterday by the added attraction of a steam double-header on the last train of the day, as Class J94 0-6-0 tank No. 68067 was assisted by ex-GWR 0-6-0 panier tank No. 7754, which was running in after a recent overhaul. Added to that, a convivial lunch with the best of friends at the excellent and welcoming Grouse Inn at Carrog made for a most pleasant day out.
