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
