"In 1988 restoration of the derelict body, to a condition fit for display in a museum, was completed by Winson Engineering of Penrhyndeudraeth, using a pair of bogies no longer fit for revenue service. In October of that year the locomotive, hauled by its older brother Merddin Emrys enjoyed a last trip up the line from Porthmadog to Tan y Bwlch where a ceremony to hand it over, on long term loan, to the National Railway Museum, was performed. Since then LT has continued his FR service by advertising the railway to visitors to the NRM."

On 6 October 2016 I took a day off work to visit the National Railway Museum in York. I traveled, obviously, by train: 5 hours 45 minutes each way and over 4 hours in the museum. I expected half a day to be sufficient, and it was: I don't think I could have taken in any more. BUT: there was so much I only had time to glance at rather than really appreciate. I don't think a week would be long enough to take it all in.
This view, from footplate level of GNR Stirling 4-2-2 No. 1 across her boiler, really took my fancy.

I have tried a lot to take photos of Myrtle Beech (Nothofagus Cunninghami) rainforest, but have usually been not very happy with what I capture. This is more satisfying. I had a couple things going for me here. The air was completely still, so I could confidenty use a long exposure to get good depth of field. Second this stand of trees were on a river bank, so I could get a clear view of them without other vegetation in the way (although setting up the tripod in the middle of the river was a bit of challenge!).
The sharpness and detail is a feature here, so I have uploaded this at high resolution. View large size or on black
