Talyllyn Railway - May 2024

Last weekend, I went (surprise!) for a week of volunteering at the Talyllyn Railway! Whilst there, I got a fair few shots, including 1 in her stunning new livery! It looks brilliant - nothing looked quite as good as finally seeing her and 2 together in Pendre again - truly a sight to be seen!

The Talyllyn Railway was built in 1865 to carry slate from Bryneglwys Quarry to Tywyn. It survived all the way until 1951 with all of its original locos and stock, having purchased basically nothing (save coal) since 1866! In 1950, its owner, Sir Haydn, passed away, and with him basically all hope of the railway surviving. Despite this, however, when a small group of people heard the line was to be scrapped, they made the unheard of decision to run it themselves as a voluntary concern! Despite all the odds, they suceeded, and today the fruits of their labour are evident in the success of the line.
