QUOTE (Long funnel & tiresome @ 6 Jan 2013, 00:20) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>A very absorbing set of comparison pics!
I've been trying to work out where one might have seen all those LMS jinties in front of the GWR pagoda - in the hills above Wrexham?
I used to enjoy contrasting GWR and LNER steam (in Wales!) at Wrexham General and Wrexham Central stations.

Hi LF&T.
That is correct, Ffrwd is in the hills above Wrexham, near Cefn-Y-Bedd.
The LMS had running powers from the old LNWR line to Wrexham (Hightown Loco Depot), which ran from the Chester to Crewe line, through Wrexham Central and via a link line, up the Moss valley, through Ffrwd, and on to Coed Talon.
(Well, in my universe anyway!)
In the Real World, the Wrexham Mold and Connah's Quay line was for a time vested in the LMR Region of British railways, before the LM Region got its paws on the whole of North Wales!
