    "We'll see how it goes." Reminds me of craftsman who worked at a railway museum in North Yorkshire who, when asked what was his deadline for a project, replied, "Deadline? I've never had one of those before."

    That'll be neat to see Dolgoch back in bronze green. Will Talyllyn also be repainted or will she remain Indian red? Also, name suggestion for the battery locomotive: Bryn Eglwys II; I suggest that because the Quarry was such an integral part of the Railway's history and survival, and I was surprised when the diesel bearing the name was sold off back in 2014...

      That's mean Smudger will be visiting the Talyllyn Railway.

    I think the bronze green is my favorite color for the Talyllyn engines.

    I cannot wait to see Dolgoch back into working order for the Summer season, especially for Race the Train in August.

      Have you ever Raced The Train before? I was thinking about doing it next year, so I wanted to know if you have any thoughts or experience on the matter.

    I love Dolgoch as she is in Indian Red, but it will be really nice to see her in TR green! She looks beautiful in TR green in the old photos from the 80’s.
    I have a soft spot for number 2 tbh haha

    Sounds interesting! The last time i was on the railway was when I stayed, as a 10 year old kid in 1974, with Mr. & Mrs. Jones guest house / farm right by Dolgoch Falls.
    The slate quarries and narrow gauge railways still had one foot in their working roots & a tentative step towards the heritage movement.
    I'd love to come back & revisit Tal-y-llyn Lake, Blaenau Ffestiniog and the slate mines, Dolgoch Falls, Abergynolwyn, Tywyn... and that's off the top of my head!
    So you can see the impression the place had on a ten year old from Paignton!

    Interesting Ifor Williams trailers… just returned from the Falkland Islands and saw one or two of their trailers down there. He gets everywhere.. haha.. another point of interest, I found a load of 2 foot gauge coal tipper trucks half buried in the peat down at the tip at Eliza Cove. They had a short railway installed around 1915 which stayed in use until around 1925. Probably the most Southerly Steam railway in the world. Sadly the Falkland islanders don’t have the enthusiasm to restore anything. So many amazing historical elements from an Iron sailing ship to a satellite tracking station to WW11 Bren Carriers all rusting away … very sad.

    That boiler the Severn did... I seem to recall reading it was to the original Fletcher, Jennnings & co. design from the 1860s. Is that correct?

    • @TalyllynRailway1865
      @TalyllynRailway1865  2 года назад +1

      It would have to have been made to modern standards, but yes the boiler was built as close to the original design as possible - thankfully drawings of that original boiler still exist.
