HANGING ON TO THE LIGHT....

            LMS 4-6-2 8P 46229 'Duchess of Hamilton' departing Ruabon 23-10-82. 
Welsh Marches Pullman which the Duchess hauled from Chester to Shrewsbury [or possibly Hereford, can anyone confirm?] It was to spend some time working out of Hereford [a couple of tours at least] so it must have ended up at Bulmer's that day.

Six Bells Junction website always provides good information but if not sure then it will always err on the side of caution. 

I appreciate that some will say the line from Shrewsbury to Chester is not strictly the Welsh Marches but as it follows the border between England and Wales and has a history of WME and WMP steam specials I have always concluded that it should be considered a part of the whole! Just a personal view.  

This is a resubmission after having removed damage to the negative and decreased grain and enhanced sharpness.

The last of the sun will soon disappear as 'Duchess of Hamilton' gets way from Ruabon. Close to the Llangollen line junction and heading towards Cefn Mawr.
