Talyllyn Railway - August 2024

Last week, I once again embarked on a journey to one of my favourite railways, the Talyllyn, for a bit more volunteering! Some slate fences later, I'm back, and with my three hundredth Talyllyn video. Enjoy!

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.

it's on my bucket list to ride this while listening to the Skarloey Railway theme

That would be good!

It's an odd feeling to see myself in a video haha. While loads of us volunteers wear a relaxed face, I promise you we are very much enjoying our time!

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Absolutely - I volunteer at the TR too, it is very fun!

Excellent Vid.
Good handy signaling from 18:18 up to 18:25 too . . . and a reply at 18:41
20:48 - they're all at it now . . including the punters 21:04 - I expect he means speed up though . .

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Thanks! I'm pretty sure what you saw at 18:18 is actually the stationmaster waving to the train! Hand signals are pretty important at TR though, one of the first things they teach you! I'm not sure what the guy at 21:04 was doing...
