6233 Duchess of Sutherland on the Ynys Mon Express - 13/06/2009

6233 (46233) Duchess of Sutherland on the Ynys Mon Express (Crewe - Chester - Llandudno Jtn - Holyhead and return) on Saturday 13th June 2009. She is seen here at two locations on the outward leg - at Lantan (near Ffinnongroyw) and at Conway. I only just got to Conway as she was pulling out of Llandudno Junction Station so had no time to set up the tripod hence the unsteadiness.

My pleasure Niall. Shame but can't detract too much from seeing a steam loco on the mainline. Chris

Ha..ha, it's one of the best excuses for getting things wrong at our age Chris, mind you Austin's been at it a long time and as you say produces excellent work every time, we'll just have to stand back in awe and enjoy eh!....Bob

Aargh - another senior moment. Sorry to have wasted your time. I actually meant Austin (acw71000) but the name of that other expert (David) came to mind!! Chris

I've had a good look Chris but can't find any footage from David, Don't be so self-critical, you always produce superb quality material that's a joy to watch. There is an inner circle of people who always produce some of the best material on YouTube, and you are certainly one of them...Chin up...Bob

Thanks Bob - have you seen Linesider's upload of this trip? Absolutely superb - makes my stuff look out of focus. I wonder if it's the camera or me? Chris
