It's only needed at request stops when a Station Master is present there. As you can see from the size of the flag it provides a very clear signal to the train crew.
We're pretty unusual when it comes to signalling - as we don't really have any except at Tywyn Wharf & Abergynolwyn Stations! Our "signalboxes", or as we call them Blockposts, use flags too - a green meaning pass right through, a yellow meaning come to a stand in the loop etc. You can see more on that here ruclips.net/video/Qof86W7BDUo/видео.html

If there's at least one place I want to visit in 🇬🇧, it's the Talyllyn Railway, always have wanted to visit and loved reading the stories inspired by it in _The Railway Series._
Well if you do come and visit, I expect you will receive a warm welcome. One way to get to the Talyllyn Railway would be to fly to Birmingham International Airport and then get a direct Network Rail (standard gauge) train to Tywyn. The TR station is just a short walk from the Network Rail station. There is also plenty of holiday accommodation nearby. For example, I'm staying at Hendy Farm this week. The TR runs alongside the farm and there is even a small station or "halt" for TR trains here.
@@vanessasandoval96 Edward Thomas is the name of the real Talyllyn Railway engine No.4. She was named to commemorate Mr Edward Thomas who helped to manage and run the railway before it was preserved and also at the start of preservation. So I think it is just a coincidence that Mr Edward Thomas has a name that contains the names of two standard gauge Railway Series engines. In the Skarloey Railway Stories, Peter Sam is the fictional counterpart to the real No.4. But when the TR does Awdry Railway Series themed events, the real locos are sometimes dressed up as their fictional counterparts.
Thanks Katie and team, that was a great video. Also, greetings from Hendy Farm Cottage :) I'll be in residence here this week, when I'm not out volunteering with the Outdoor Gang. There are 23 lengths of rail to be re-sleepered this week and some pointing work to be done on the retaining walls at Ty Mawr bridge.
Wow I didn't know a station master did all that stuff! It's neat that Katie and her dad and brother are following in their family's foot steps. Hope you all have a great day!
@@vanessasandoval96 TR No.6 was built by Andrew Barclay in Scotland. When she was donated to the TR in 1954 she was named Douglas at the request of the donor.

On the fictional standard gauge Isle of Sodor railways, Donald and Douglas are a pair of 0-6-0 goods engines, based on the Caledonian Railways class 652.
Katie is having the time of her life, didn’t think the railway would need a yellow flag to pull over a train at a station.

You are a brilliant representative for the Talyllyn. Fascinating that the steam runs in your veins. All power to your whistle!
Looks like a lovely way to spend the day!
Another great video, can’t wait for spring when Tal-y-llyn makes their long awaited return to steam!
So that explains why they’re called Tally-Twins of him and Skarloey
Her sister engines Dolgoch and Sir Hadyn were in steam today.
@@derekp2674 so sir Handel can handle it get it sir Handel it

@@TheSudrianTerrier653 This is correct but as they are all TR locomotives I count them as sisters from that basis.
YMMV....

Awesome video well done guys keep up the good work plus I really like your videos
❤ beautiful video 🥰
Why is Peter Sam called Edward Thomas because it would have a rotation face of Edward and Thomas

In America, they use semaphores.
Semaphores are used across the UK as well, however the method shown in this video is just what we use at the Talyllyn
am I dreaming??? THE OFFICIAL TALYLLYN RAILWAY RESPONDED ME!!
I so wish I lived there!
Looks like such a fun job 😮❤
If I ever were to make it over to you guys, I'd love to volunteer!
Thank you Katie.
Please share night traveling video
Who is the real Douglas Duncan twin or Donald twin if they are Scottish trains trains trains of narrow gauge
