Welsh Mountaineer 61994

            Taken before a late start at my desk. Still, probably worth it.

BR K4 61994 The Great Marquess heads over Frodsham viaduct which carries the line over both the Weaver Navigation and the Frodsham cut.

The ex LNER Mogul was at the head of The Welsh Mountaineer to Blaenau Ffestiniog in Wales.

This class of 2-6-0 was designed specifically for operation on the West Highland line by Sir Nigel Gresley, so presumably well suited to the sinewy climb to Blaenau.

61994 is the sole survivor of the class of 6, all originally built at Darlington.
