Over 40 years since I’ve been on the railway.....thanks for evoking so many memories for me

[@ghostontheline]

Hi Mark, first of all thanks for watching and commenting on my video. I am so pleased that it brought back memories for you. . I have been visiting North Wales every year for the past twenty, due to the virus and travel restrictions I will not be able to make it his year. As soon as the whistle blows and the train is under way you are transported into another world, and for a few hours time stands still. Best Regards Pete

I lived I tywyn for 10 years. Lived at Faenol Isaf. I loved Talyllyn Railway. Wonderful memories in the 1980s.

Hi Jennifer, thanks for watching the video. I remember the day that I shot the video it's such a terrific narrow gauge railway with a fine history. The staff are always friendly, it's a delight to spend a day there. Cheers Pete

Will never forget at the age of 10 I got to move Dolgoch into a siding at Pendre. My favourite holidays were here as a kid in the 80s.

Hi Rob, thanks for sharing your memories and for watching my video. It’s still my favourite heritage line and I always look forward to my next trip. Cheers Pete

Just sublime. No music needed. I can almost smell the air of that spring day and the smoke.

[@ghostontheline]

Hi Janet, thanks for your comments, they sum up the day for me, an unforgettable experience! With autumn closing in I can look back to that perfect spring afternoon. Pete

Me and my Dad visited the Talyllyn railway three years ago because i had read the book railway adventure like you on the day of our visit we was very lucky to ride behind the old lady herself

[@ghostontheline]

Hi Eliot, thanks for taking the time to write your comments. I have said this before but every visit to the Talyllyn is like coming home for me, there is nothing else like it. Cheers Pete

[@eliotreader8220]

Me and my dad visit took place the same year that this footage was made and on the day of our visit the old lady herself was at the head of the train that we traveled on but sadly we never saw Wilbert awdry's recreated study because the museum was closed and not opened to the public

[@ghostontheline]

Hi Eliot, I was unable to visit the railway this year due to Covid 19, hope to get there in 2021. Cheers Peter

What’s it like in those vintage carriages?

[@ghostontheline]

Hi, sorry for the slow reply, the 3rd class coaches are comfortable but the 1st class are fantastic. Everything about the railway is superb......Cheers Pete

Great video, thanks

Hi Terry, thanks for watching and commenting, I shall miss not being able to visit the line this year. Cheers Pete

[@wypkeanneschukken6022]

What are they doing by those blockpost

[@ghostontheline]

Hi, It's a signal box where you leave one block and enter the next. The Talyllyn uses a token system rather than signals, and the driver has to be in possession of the token before he can enter the next block. They're usually manned and the token is handed over from a platform, but on the day of the video it looked like a quiet day so the driver did it himself. Thanks to "Otacatapetl" for this excellent description. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching. Cheers Pete

It's nice to see rheneas basis in action with skarloey (Talyllyn)

[@joelcartagena953]

You know the engine looks just like Rheneas.

[@rishibehal5]

Dolgoch was the basis for Rheneas

@@rishibehal5 Dolgoch and Rheneas do look alike.

Hi Joel, thanks for watching, my favourite narrow gauge railway......

[@mikemadden4084]

what is the purpose of the blockposts?

[@ghostontheline]

Hi Mike, I guess they are needed when running a 2 or 3 engines in steam peak service.

great video :-)

[@ghostontheline]

Much appreciated comment. I will be uploading a new video which I took in May 2019, again it was a lovely day and the bluebell’s were out. Cheers Pete

[@flyingpete]

Please get a dead cat on the mic. Audio is spoilt. Good otherwise.

[@ghostontheline]

Hi. thanks for comments and for watching the video. The wind noise is a problem that comes with using built in microphones. I have found some stick on mini dead cats which help to cut the noise.Cheers Pete

[@flyingpete]

@@ghostontheline I had the same problem but easily fixed by buying a second hand Rode external mic on E Bay. It makes ALL the difference to a video.
