Engine Stories: Edward Thomas - Talyllyn Railway

[@thesudriana016]

"I'm Peter Sam, I'm running this line! I'm Peter Sam, I'm running this line!"

[@nathanchan4653]

Peter Sam: What fun is all this!

[@TobyAndThomas]

**slate truck slam into him** peter sam: ouch my funnel

[@matteomarmiroli1713]

Truly impressive how this little engine became the backbone of the services on the Corris and then on the Talyllyn in its early presevation days

[@alistairsmith4308]

Every time I see this little engine I smile, Peter Sam was always my favourite and Edward Thomas too, no matter what it may be seen as less remarkable than others but I think it is more due to its ability to be there almost no matter what

[@TheClaudHamilton]

That makes two of us. :)

[@OHNEY]

Honestly it’s videos like these that make me truly understand what the reverend and many other enthusiasts saw in these engines; their stories brining their personalities to life. This video truly was special.

[@TalyllynRailway1865]

Welcome back to Engine Stories! We've got a whole host of episodes lined up for 2022, we do hope you enjoy this tale about our Tattoo - Edward Thomas!

[@eliotreader8220]

in Railway adventure I understand Tom Rolt said a lot of nice stuff about this Ex Corris engine and I believe it may have been his favourite as he had once worked in the same engineering work shop where the engine had been built. he definitely sounded proud of previously working for Kerr Stuart. I possibly have a similar feeling about having done my bit for heritage steam back in 2011

[@ewgtvhuil3789]

Make you video engine you told aboutdolgoch

[@darkangelproductions448]

Can you talk about douglas

[@eliotreader8220]

when is the profile episode of No2 going to be released

[@EggGuy461]

Peter Sam is one of my favourite of the narrow gauge engines in Thomas, so now knowing the history of his real life counterpart is pretty nice.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Make a documentary called “The gallant old lady” about Dolgoch about her overhaul after saving the line from closure.

[@parker-boy98]

Oh, of course Dolgoch was female. All the Talyllyn railway engines are, apparently. Though thankfully "Dolgoch" doesn't sound gender-specific. Unless it's some Welsh name I've never heard of.

Epic Edward Thomas is my favorite and I’m glad that I got the full story of Edward Thomas

Chipper and reliable is a good way to describe the no. 4.

Always been an admirer of this engine , love it's almost top heavy appearance

now this was a nice little documentary on her, i really did like it!

[@CymruJedi]

These history videos are my favourite, please make more

[@CuldeeLDM]

Your railway is amazing! I really like narrow gauge railways. My favorite locomotive is Dolgoch

[@wildwind413]

When the Talyllyn hosted Peter Sam from the Skarloey, how did they explain Peter Sam not having his “special funnel”?

[@jockdouglass3824]

Plot convenience

[@PeterSamGaming4]

Peter Sam had his for the rest of Thomas and friends, while Edward Thomas had the special funnel for a time being

[@ciarangleeson2880]

I wonder why?

[@buffplums]

That is such a wonderful success story.

[@michael32A]

Also of note is I understand the original Hackworth valve gear (if nothing else?!) was replaced in the 60s with the identical parts from the first of Tattoos, since also preserved but expected to be scrapped at the time... That's 'Stanhope', which appears almost at the end of this piece alongside ET in black, _and_ in the black and white photo near the start simply emblazoned 'Tattoo'.

[@derekp2674]

Thanks very much, I really enjoyed that.

[@tobys_transport_videos]

[@skarloey2653]

I love how each of these engines have their own personalities.

i can simply imagine someone tattooing edward thomas somewhere in their arm. and people just laughing uncontrollably for no reason, that would be very fun.

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

The frustrating part is that Edward Thomas is 100. Where's her card from Her Majesty? It's not every day a loco turns 100. She's an incredible workhorse and I'm really hoping to see her whenever I do visit the Talyllyn. I've never been before yet

[@MrXbow4300]

I think Tom Rolts comment “while we cherish the past, we are not stubbornly rooted in it.” Can describe the heritage scene as a hole.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Wasn’t there ever a real-life event for Awdry’s you can’t win story?

[@henrytheriverengine8234]

Question. How close is Talyllyn’s overhaul to completion?

[@kupferbergbahn7952]

my guess is that t'll be done when it's done. These things don't have a set schedule for completion.

[@Christopherbellfan203]

@@kupferbergbahn7952 i didn’t mean when exactly she will be done. Just at what point in the restoration process she’s in. Like if she only has a few things left to fix, or if she still has a long way to go.

Thomas and friends in real life

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Formerly known as Kerr on the Corris

[@TalyllynRailway1865]

While this was the name given to it in Christopher Awdry's book "Hugh Goes Sliding", the name is purely fictional - none of the original Corris locomotives had names.

[@ardentknight2262]

you can see how some of this is similar to rws/thomas events

Did anyone ever know that Edward Thomas was actually built after his fictional counterpart Peter Sam? Built in 1921 whilst Peter Sam was built the year prior (1920). Ironic, huh?

Mf theyre siblings😐

[@laurenssmith9534]

Maybe cut the Thomas stuff it really detracts from the actual engine and makes the heritage railway world look like a bunch of people playing with toy trains

[@TalyllynRailway1865]

Our connection and legacy with The Rev W Awdry, one of our volunteers, is something we cherish and is very important to us - it hardly diminishes from this locomotive's history (and was only talked about for 40 seconds in an 8 minute video), if anything it bolsters it and has given the loco and our Railway so much to thank for. The amount of volunteers we get, not just from within the UK - from around the world, who say the reason they have come to volunteer at the Talyllyn is because of the original books and TV Series is staggering. And at the end of the day, we are playing trains!

if the engine is a woman, why does it have a male's name?
