Great to see the tv models of Fearless Freddie and Skarloey featured in this year’s exhibition for the Awdry extravaganza and it was great seeing Sir Handel with a new face can’t wait for the second part of the livestream 👍💙🚂

[@Rad0115]

I’ve been waiting to see Sir Handel at one of these and this did not disappoint! 🙏🙏

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

What an epic day we had today

[@user-cl8xh6bc9y]

This has been absolutely wonderful so far 😊 So incredible to see such a special celebration being held at such a special railway. The exhibition looks amazing, and it's nice to see Rusty being celebrated too. Dan reads 'Rock n Roll' beautifully at 2:16:25 . It was such a joy to listen to. Thank you Talyllyn for a fantastic event so far, and bless you all for bringing the magic to those who can't make it in person ❤

It was cool to see Freddie operating in the exhibition, I can’t enter as tickets sold out, but my capsule plarail Freddie can keep me company at the event on Sunday

[@MSMFurcorn22]

I went there and saw Freddie in person (I didn’t get tickets but a spot was free so we payed it on the spot) and it was cool freddy was indeed fearless

[@patricksavage1405]

Hello also from New Zealand! Enjoyed the stream and hearing Veronica’s speech was brilliant. Hoping to attend one of these in the future and meeting with my other KZbin heroes and getting the chance to see Ffarquhar in person. And a big thank you to Max and the whole Talyllyn Railway crew.

[@Cctrainstop]

I actually came the farthest away from Canada Ontario

[@TheCreepersGood]

37:30 “Yeah, Fred. shush, you *DON’T* take the weedkiller train.” 46:00 another contender shows up :)

[@josepharmstrong1788]

When will next year’s extravaganza be?

[@mmandmcb14]

Problem: Sir Handel's new face has his eyes closed. How can he see where he's going?

[@TheCreepersGood]

He’s just cool like that, simple.

[@DennisLora2001]

[@littlebacongreengreatweste2606]

Never, because they’re just fan stories.

[@The-Signal-Man]

That's weird, why did the stream end already?

[@Leo_G_Cady]

Probs technical difficulties?

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Why did they make Sir Handel a sleeping face...

[@GeneralLeeStudiosBrian]

Awdry would NOT accept the LGBT crap being promoted

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

I don’t think he’d be particularly fussed what you think…
