Taff Vale No 85 from the footplate

I had the pleasure of a footplate ride on Taff Vale 85
Yesterday (Saturday)

The engine is still in the process of running new
slide valves in


Yesterday was a cold (freezing) day so water and 
coal usage was going to be higher than normal


This a great little engine and I am very grateful to
John Reddyhoff the CME of the K&WVR who 
was driving and his fireman Andy


Slight delays collecting our train of five 167 tonnes
due to ice on the points 


Excellent run down to Keighley


The engine was working hard on the return, all 
uphill


Haworth station on the return
