Owain Glyndwr - 1990

Like the Welshpool & Llanfair, the Vale of Rheidol has always been a bit of a poor relation in my photograph collection. Although it was visited several times when I was younger, holidays being based on Tywyn; since taking up photography I have only visited the line once, a fleeting visit travelling from South to North Wales. Another visit is long overdue, perhaps later this year. In the meantime here are a few photographs of Swindon built No 7 'Owain Glyndwr' along the line in 1970.
