Talyllyn Railway - 1981

This is a significant set of photographs for this site, being the first time I set about capturing a narrow gauge line in detail on film, following the move to an SLR camera the previous autumn (for the record, a hefty Russian Zenith TTL with 55mm lens, once dropped on Norwich Station platform, the camera was fine but the platform was rebuilt shortly afterwards...)
