you guys need more subscribers. Even though I cant support directly (being in America) its amazing what you are doing for this little railway, And I cant wait to see more!
Ah ever since I've been a Talyllyn supporter Talyllyn has been under overhaul. Now with Douglas getting axel box work it feels like Talyllyn is being pushed further out of the picture.
@@Jude-72 She managed to get back on her wheels this year and boiler has progressed really well at MHR. I am suspecting she will be back before her 160th in 2024
Good luck Stuart thanks for bringing TR to RUclips with these walk abouts hope next manager continues these. Happy new year TR from here in south Australia
good thing that No.2 is almost complete and will steam early next year, when thats done and the other boiler comes back from the MHR , No.1's overhaul will speed up and they will both be done by next year, also if you look to the bottom left of the screen at 7:00 , you can see old taly's smokebox door
I love the reference to Doctor Who in the caption. “It’s the end - But the moment has been prepared for…” Such a spine chilling line from my favourite Doctor! ❤
There are not many railways on Orkney, though Sanday had a narrow gauge one 10 years or so ago. It's fallen into disuse so maybe that's a project for you? It wasn't much more than an overgrown garden railway though!
I saw a documentary of the Talyllyn and Ffestiniog railways a couple years back, and I wanted to visit then. This makes me want to visit even more so! Right, now all I need is a passport, and some money to get me to Wales from the United States.
A lovely video to round off an amazing year, I can't wait to hopefully make my first visit next year! Thank you for everything you've done for the railway Stuart!
Talyllyn Railway is a number 1# Prior of the Narrow Gauge Railway. 2023. Shows up our door.. Steam engines are useful ancient and reliable machinery, runs on puff and usually runs for their century…! 🚂
God speed Talyllyn I wish the best of luck to the railway thank all of you for taking good care of these engines for all these years happy new year Talyllyn railway!
I remeber years ago in 2016 a kind driver/fireman let me in Douglas's cab the invited me back to the sheds. The last trains were going by and I stood in talyllyns cab and saw dolgoch and the others in the shed that day. It was summer holidays im pretty sure
Even if, like me, you have limited interest in steam trains and associated hardware you have to admire the work these people do. This country would benefit so greatly if the combination of hard work and manual dexterity became more widespread. We could actually make things that work and last!
I'm afraid not - wood doesn't generate enough heat for long enough to be efficient in our locos, plus we'd have to carry so much more and the bunkers just aren't large enough.
@@TalyllynRailway1865 ah well that's a pain I know alot of minuturie locos/working models run of wood shavings but they are small ig so it does not need as powerfull or as much
I read somewhere and I believe one of yalls past vids, the UK is stopping the production of Coal to look "Clean energy" but they still import coal from 3rd world countries with poor working laws and conditions for a cheaper price. who knows how many 1st world countries who left untapped resources or quit production cuz they wanna "look clean" smh
The “archive” part of 2022 was made while the firm that used to supply coal looked like not repairing it’s washing plant, but I think it has actually been repaired. Still a longer term issue, no doubt, but there seems to be no real shortage at some other places at present. The other day at Toddington on the GWSR (29/12/22) there seemed to be quite a bit of it in stock; they have usually used coal from Ffos y Fran as well.
@@johnkeepin7527 I think they should still allow coal to be supplied to the heritage sector, as long as it burns cleanly. To me, steam engines are the one thing that it's OK to still use coal with, including traction engines and stationary steam.
I would love to see the Teign Valley on East Dartmoor (Devon) be converted to a narrow gauge line While at it, find a way to include the Mortonhampstead branch into central Dartmoor. It won’t happen of course. Has anyone got Elon’s phone number?
"Their coal washing plant needs repair, so they are no longer supplying lump coal to heritage railways" wow that is a pitiful state of affairs indeed..............
@@thecaledoniansleeper2648 Talyllyn is under overhaul and will hopefully be back in steam or close to it by the end of next year! Definitely not retired.
Also to everyone talyllyn is leaving so it can be fixed it's not going forever probably a year or something and she will be back also her boiler is being fixed at the watercress

Talyllyn might be leaving, but Talyllyn will never die.
I haven't been yet, but I intend to visit soon.
So the number one engine is gone?!
@@ThatOneBrightonTerrier No, it's undergoing a complete rebuild. They show the repainted frames in the video.
best wishes for the future Stuart you have done a sterling job looking after the Talyllyn walkabouts just wont be the same
Really ganna miss Stuart, he and Chris bounce off each other so well!
Happy new year!
Goodbye Stuart Williams you are one of the best General manager of this railway

I'm very anxious I know Dolgoch is almost back together but I feel like I'll never see Talyllyn back to steam.
Talyllyn is safe with Dolgoch in the paint shops as of the 31st of december. She is the TRs main focus once Dolgoch is running again.

Good luck Stuart thanks for bringing TR to RUclips with these walk abouts hope next manager continues these. Happy new year TR from here in south Australia
I can't wait to see the Old Ladies back in steam, and with fresh coats of paint no less.
...and the steam engines too!
Do you mean Doris and Jean from Gavin and Stacey Lol!
@@tulyar1043 No, I mean Talyllyn and Dolgoch.
Good to see young ladies in the junior group.
Talyllyn never dies less go
Also happy new year
I don't think that's what they were saying, but I'm sure everyone's hoping for the final answer to come.
@@kyleeaton2660 The chief engineer said they're hoping No 1 will be back before the end 2023.
Thanks for this glimpse into the work it takes to keep these heritage lines running.
It's great to see so many younger volunteers. The future of the railway is in safe hands.

@@barrettoliver2009 The first line in the description
Glad I'm not the only nerd to notice
Great update. Its fantastic the young folk get to be valued and involved
Remember riding on this railway when I was a child, loved it.
Hope to bring my granddaughter to enjoy it
Great work guys. People come people go, but the show goes on. Best wishes for the Orkney move. Happy New Year.
Hope this railway stays alive after all these years still stand strong
The Thomas fandom will be heartbroken to hear this news, happy new year guys!
Shit, yeah. I'd almost forgotten that Tallylyn itself is the real-life basis for Skarloey.
Спасибо за ваши усилия!

Dolgoch looks great soo far. I wish her and everyone at the Talyllyn Railway dry rails and smooth running.

Dolgoch and Tallylyn are in good hands. Just like Skarloey and Rheneas.
For the third Awdry event in 2023, new 3D faces for Talyllyn and Dolgoch.
Talyllyn Railway is a number 1# Prior of the Narrow Gauge Railway.
2023. Shows up our door..

Need a steam train like that running picnic shuttles between Lebrina and Wyena Tasmania
Enjoy Orkney, Stuart.
I have been going to Talyllyn and Dolgoch for fifty years now hopefully be up there again soon
interesting seeing Rhene.. i mean Dolgoch in green. cant wait to visit in september
all the best, Stuart. you'll be missed here a lot!
Nice to see the Old Lady back in green!
Happy new year fellas
Great to see you are still making steam locomotives from scratch hopefully you continue to do that for decades to come
At first i thought the railway was going away greetings from the US.
Happy new year all. All the best in your new role Stuart
God speed Talyllyn I wish the best of luck to the railway thank all of you for taking good care of these engines for all these years happy new year Talyllyn railway!
Happy new year to one and all :D
Good luck in the new year will be hoping to visit this year..
We wish You al a great 2023/ Best regards Your colleagues at Ohs Museumrailroad in Sweden.💥
Happy New Year to you all!
Happy new year
11/10! Awesome!
3:37 - Dolgoch will need a new 3D face to portray as Rheneas for the Awdry event.

Goodbye, Mr. Williams. You were a good (Thin Controller)
2023 is beginning
Nice
Can't wait to see Dolgoch in steam.
Fuel costs are a challenge now and in future for Talyllin and others.

Talyllyn never die, we all know this, i pray for Is return
I'm very interested in visiting someday. From Pennsylvania in the U.S.
11/10 for the great character acting! 🤣
Lovely to see new people under 60 with an interest
Can’t wait for the end of this Talyllyn-less era
I need to visit you on my next trip to Wales.
Dulgoch looks great, is Alf running well?
Probably, as usual
9:06 those faces stored up on the wall. Probably for Thomas the train events. Can be creepy when removed from the engines.
Is that a Logopolis reference in the description?
Will one of your engines be at stolckton and Darlington 200th
I wish No.2 a get well soon
What about the yellow coal?
"End of an Era"!!!! I nearly had kittens! Don't do that to me!
Time to reopen a coal mine to run our heritage railways on. Must be cheaper than shipping it in from Australia or Columbia.
I read the title does this mean the Railway is going to turn into Peter Davison.
A can of coke to you.
What about bio coal that will work right?
Skarloey will be sad
I wondered when I saw the thumbnail picture and title, I wondered if you were getting rid of Douglas.
We'd never get rid of our amazing steam locos!
Bruh i thought you were saying the railway was closing
could i use the music at start of the episode in a intro for the start of a garden railway video i am making
I wish I could volunteer but I live in America and I'm turning 14 on 2nd January
Must be an interesting job being a steam train engineer
Can these locos run of wood chips/shavings
I'm afraid not - wood doesn't generate enough heat for long enough to be efficient in our locos, plus we'd have to carry so much more and the bunkers just aren't large enough.
@@TalyllynRailway1865 ah well that's a pain I know alot of minuturie locos/working models run of wood shavings but they are small ig so it does not need as powerfull or as much
Have to admit that the video title and intro had me rather worried.
It's depressing to see a railway like this one becoming nothing but a faded memory!
Eh? Talyllyn is alive and well.

Hi, the Railway isn't closing down. As said in the video, our General Manager is leaving us in February. Hence, the end of his era as manager.

organic fuel express!
Also to everyone talyllyn is leaving so it can be fixed it's not going forever probably a year or something and she will be back also her boiler is being fixed at the watercress
Talyllyn isn't leaving! The overhaul, apart from the boiler, is all being done in house at Pendre
Hopefully you can make steam railcar to honor in his name. Ok?
What does it mean from the title
Look up _era._ Presumably you know what _end_ means!
this time you found a faulty rod before it broke instead of what happened to No1 about 10 years ago,
