The venue: Llangollen Railway station. Here we see the Lady of Llagollen, number 3802, a classic 2-8-0 GWR Heavy Freight locomotive renamed today for Mothers day from its usual title of Rockstar. The heavens have opened up but it will not deter the many pre-booked travellers out on a trip to Corwen enjoying the spectacular Dee Valley whilst having afternoon Tea.
The two PiPs show the locomotive switching rails at the terminus tunnel just at the end of the platform and a shot through the carriage window (including rainy reflections) showing the pre-prepared sandwiches, scones and cakes, all part of a traditional Welsh Afternoon Tea, just waiting for the guest and tea-pot.

Enjoy the day

I love this main image with the loco wreathed in steam and smoke. I bet it sounded good as wall. A splendid capture.
The other two PiPs are lovely as well. It looks like you had a great day out..!!
