Alf the Running-Well Diesel

Thank god, a railway that actually still LETS steam engines pull stuff other than passenger coaches.

Song name?

Good to see that Alf is running well.

The pride of the line. Love seeing these two together!

As someone who grew up on Thomas, seeing the inspiration for Rusty running again fills me with the kind of joy that is hard to describe. Back in Black doesn't hurt either. 😏

Glad to see everyone's favorite Number 1 back on the rails. Welcome home, you Gallant Old Engine, and happy birthday.

Good to see Midlander still getting a chance to stretch her wheels. Diesel or not, she's a valued member of the Tallylyn and it'd be a shame not to have her.

What happened to Sir Haydn?

This could've been a funny RWS story.

Will Edward Thomas be running on the Vale of Rheidol Railway?

"Water! Duke needs more water!"

Hey Willie, they turned me into a train

Excellent!

Nice Headboard

Happy 200th anniversary of Stockton and Darlington

What a whistle concert could be heard (and watched) here over 13 years ago! There were 5 locos performing; they are only two now?

Thanks for the Whistles, found a lot on u tube of the other Railways, glad that we were with them and live at that!

Grand fun! I was the whistles on No.4!

Happy new year to all that was i

I was there two days ago

Happy New Year to you all 🎉

Was at Bo’ness to see their br standard take part great to see it happen elsewhere

Happy new year to all of you, great to see all these locomotives still going, 200 years of railway lets gooo

Skip to 5:39 when the video actually starts.

Well done, happy New year to all of you.

Great to be there in spirit! Well done

Its a bummer that Douglas will be out of service, but he needs some rest and a new ticket

I’ve never seen Alf in action before, I guess Talyllyn, Dolgoch, Sir Haydn, Edward Thomas, Douglas, and Midlander get all the attention because were the basis of the Skarloey engines

The crew had some mix, so the put it on a cleaned shovel, and cooked it in Sir Handel’s firebox. Once the other engines learned of what happened they teased, with Duncan calling him "a pancake oven".

Most people:dolgoch Me:smuger

YAHHH MIDLANDER!!!!

I know this might be a little too dumb for you to respond but. I am writing a parodie of the RWS books, the one I’m making is: Awdry Extravaganza 2024, and other stories. So in the first story, Prologue, I am making a story where the Thin controller tells Sir Handel, Rusty, and Fred, that they are going to 2024’s extravaganza, and maybe you guys could tell me how did they come, maybe in ship, or by rail, or even by road, so please tell me in the comments.

Cool

4:32 The little nods you give to the Railway series makes me smile, it’s even more funny knowing they are based on real things that happened. It makes me look at the railway series differently because the events are based on truth.

What fascinates me about these preserved railroads is they mostly do passenger trains for scenic tours yet a lot of the engines were all originally designed for freight work at harbors and quarries. Because they all have varied histories it does give each one a unique personality.

So she is a hybrid engine. Is she the only one in her class?

Very good. Have shared.

The RWS book actually advertise theTalan In railway

I live in Canada & i actively promote the Talyllyn railway at least once a week in my city

Alfs gotta pretty noisy engine

The most modern steam locomotive i see is the Steam Electric one that Switzerland made during coal shortages in WW2.

I don't know what is it about a blue coating that makes Talyllyn looks so grand, but it's attractive enough to make her stand out amongst the fleet - quite possibly the whole railway.

0:30 I'll be honest, a hard rock version of the Talyllyn theme wasn't something I knew I needed in life.

Please make a dolgoch history video

Alf the Autobot on the move!

As both a Thomas fan and a Transformers fan that end joke made me laugh so hard!

not just the Heritage weekend, but Talyllyn's 160th birthday

Merry Christmas to you all

one thing I always love about the TR is how everyone mucks in on these big projects! truly an inspirational little railway ^^
