Brief Sunny Spell on the Welsh Highland Railway

The steam locomotive Russell built by Hunslet in 1906 in England, running on the Welsh Highland Railway where it spent its early working life.
Seen climbing southbound towards Rhyd Ddu in Snowdonia, North Wales during a brief sunny spell on a typically wet day in this area.

Thank you. You can see from the dark clouds that the weather was less than perfect that day!

Well I guess it is a big boys' toy these days. Twelve inches to the foot scale, as they say!
