I hope Dolgoch will get his history video uploaded onto the Talyllyn Railway's RUclips channel soon to celebrate his 160th birthday. By the way, happy 160th birthday to Talyllyn.
Being 160 years old and still working it's quite the achievement. I mean the oldest engine I've ever seen is the Pays de Waes in the Belgian Railway Museum train world. It's technically also a narrow gauge since it runs on narrower tracks. and it was from 1844 But has never worked in preservation. that just goes to show how rare this beautiful locomotive is (And I am talking about Talyllyn When I said that.)
Little old engine she is Got to see her at the extravaganza 4 and WOW she may be small for a steam engine but is mighty good looking and powerful it seems too . That blue you lot put her in is so glamorous . Same with dolgoch and her green paint . Tho I do prefer the green for talylln also I do like her blue .
Hopefully by the time the next event comes around Bachman will have released there 009 talylln in green , black or red . Why not her blue one I don’t know tho I ain’t to fussed . Anyways love your little railway in the hills so relaxing and calming . Couldn’t help but sing skarloey songs and hart of gold whilst seeing the trains go by . The viaduct is really magical to me . Reminds me of the time a certain Scottish engine based of Douglas got stuck on there 😂😂😂. And warf is so nice . Got to see midlander as rusty and sir Hayden with an eyepatch . Alf dressed as Fred and Tom rolt too Love the railway . I am dragging my mom back yearly now 😂 . She wants a piece of welsh slate from the quarry next time we come over . And I wanna give a go at voulenteering . Like the revrend did all that time ago . I have always seemed to be interested in guarding a passinger train . Seemed fun . Let’s seee if I don’t forget nobody tho 😂 Bye
I had the privilege of being in a coach being pulled and pushed by Talyllyn this year. Beautiful in the blue and pulls like, well, A train! Happy birthday to the plucky little engine that captures the imagination of people everywhere
I got to see her and Dollogoch earlier this year on a family holiday. And I must say, in person she looks gorgeous in the Great Eastern inspired livery.
So while Talyllyn arrived on the 24th of September 1864, does anyone know what month in 1864 exactly they started building her? I haven’t found anything.
As said in the video, she didn't actually arrive until April 1865 - but was completed on the 24th September 1864. It is theorised that the order may have been placed around April 1864, based upon the build timelines of other Fletcher Jennings locomotives.
I wish someone did a joke when they would write a letter saying “happy birthday Tallyllyn 160 is a big feet I wish you dry rails and smooth runnings -sensorially Skarloey”
If we get technical - no, but also yes. Talyllyn was considered a Class A at first by Fletcher Jennings, the notable difference was her being smaller than most others. After she went back in 1867 to have trailing wheels fitted, advertisements for the 0-4-2 version of the Class A described the type of loco as a Class C - so she is a Class C, but only retroactively.
Happy 160th Birthday to Talyllyn and his “Little Old Twin” Skarloey!

"I may be 160 but I still feel like I’m 65!"
-Talyllyn (probably)
They should make new extensions around the quarry and have slate service again
happy birthday old girl
Very good! Have shared this.
"They can if they're mended old faithful!"
"And that's what's going to happen to you!"
"You deserve it!"
Happy Birthday!
Never knew there were Rev Awdry recordings of Four Little Engines & Very Old Engines. Were they unreleased?
Penblwydd hapus, Talyllyn!
Great
So while Talyllyn arrived on the 24th of September 1864, does anyone know what month in 1864 exactly they started building her? I haven’t found anything.
As said in the video, she didn't actually arrive until April 1865 - but was completed on the 24th September 1864.
It is theorised that the order may have been placed around April 1864, based upon the build timelines of other Fletcher Jennings locomotives.
Where did you get the recording of Awdry narrating the other books? I thought he only narrated his first two stories.
What was the Original livery of the engines when Dolgoch and Tallyllyn came to the railway
Green for dolgoch and blue for tallylln
Let’s go 🎉❤❤😂🎉
hooray!
Dang that loco is 160 years old
I wish someone did a joke when they would write a letter saying “happy birthday Tallyllyn 160 is a big feet I wish you dry rails and smooth runnings -sensorially Skarloey”
Do dolgoch also
Penblwydd Hapus Talyllyn 🎂
The only other famed thing fact or fiction that I know to be around 160 years old is Professor Farnsworth
Yoooo our engine's getting old
What flavor was the Cake? :)
By the looks of it I think it was chocolate.
Talyllyn loves chocolate cake I think.
Omg
Non rail fans be like *HUH, WHAT'S THAT RUBBISH??!!!*
Isn’t Tallylyn a Class C?
If we get technical - no, but also yes.
Talyllyn was considered a Class A at first by Fletcher Jennings, the notable difference was her being smaller than most others. After she went back in 1867 to have trailing wheels fitted, advertisements for the 0-4-2 version of the Class A described the type of loco as a Class C - so she is a Class C, but only retroactively.
Happy Birthday Talyllyn.
