-----------------------
The Talyllyn Railway's Awdry weekend of 22nd-23rd July 2023 saw Rock N' Roll star Duncan, maintenance master Rusty, Mabel and Fred visit from Sodor from the Skarloey Railway. There was an exhibition of TV props, RWS illustrations and archive info from the BBC 1953 Sad Story of Henry. Later, an evening with memories from Rev.W.Awdry's daughter and letters read by Tim Dunn. Outside, Duncan took the Pop Special and the Skarloey photo charter, and we captured much of this on the live broadcast throughout the event. I was honoured to be asked to host the livestream, and this video tells you how everything went down from my side of things!
Many thanks to Luke, the Awdry Ex team/livestream crew, Tim, 'Team Thomas', YMG and Talyllyn Railway.

What a lovely railway, I am a retired railwayman and would love to volunteer on the railway. I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire. I remember reading the Thomas books back in the early 1960s. The rolling stock looks amazing. Well done to all involved. 👍🚂🚃

[@Terrier55Stepney]

There are a few railways and museums in Yorkshire, though like me you could even volunteer at a railway far away! Thank you for sharing your comment. Lovely that the books have stayed an important part of so many people's lives.

GO FOR IT MARTIN! 🚂

[@MrTimDunn]

You did great :-) It was a livestream of the finest quality. The best presenters and production teams are often those who both (1) care about their subject greatly (2) understand their audiences and their motivations. The result is that, as *you* do, show respect for both in your actions and words, no matter what style. All of you did brilliantly. The 4G quality is often crap, but the quality of presentation and overall production means that people bloody loved it. I bloody loved it because I didn't have to do any work :))))

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you for the kind words Tim, that's very helpful. It was a really fun day and a great joy to be on camera with you again. Ultimately I want to combine what I enjoy into what I do professionally and this was one hell of a way to do that! Still love how you were ready with your own Top Hat. xD We did our bit, the production team did theirs, it's fantastic when the tech issues are beyond our excusable control!

[@heymanwhatsgoingon]

I have never been more jealous of someone’s vlogs in my entire life

[@SudderyStationMaster]

33:56 THERE I AM GARY! THERE I AM!!! Was an absolute pleasure meeting you dude! A Big Thank you to you and all Talyllyn staff that made this such an awesome experience!

[@adamtebbs8783]

I'm glad you liked your reserved compartment labels. Sorry the open wasn't where you were expecting it to be, but in my defence, I put it where Luke told me to put it!

[@zacharyspinks6207]

What an Incredible Video, this Railway is Beautiful.

[@joshslater2426]

Having Smudger at the event was a genius idea! It looked amazing, and the open coach in Skarloey colours was too. Getting more information on the Sad Story of Henry pilot is another great reward. But I am now cursed with the knowledge that Barry was not a standard class 2 mogul.

[@joshslater2426]

Extra praise for the recreations of the RWS illustrations. That was a genius idea, and everyone involved looked the part.

[@TankEngineMedia]

It would be a lot of fun to go to the Talyllyn Railway but there’s always next year. There we’re a lot of surprises like the Smudger reveal, Fact about Barry, and all sorts of surprises. 2 years later and the events are still going strong

[@martinsto8190]

10:53-11:00 A rented coach from the Skarloey Railway spotted, hyper reaction, based.

[@KennysChocolateMilk]

This was so awsome 😀

[@sudrianrailwaystudios676]

Great video, Max! I'm thinking of going to the Awdry Extravaganza 4 (if there is one) next year.

[@Bulbasaur617]

This is a fantastic experience to go. Wish I could go there someday. But it's really fantastic to see you and everyone have fun there!

[@themidlandengine7973]

[@daviobryker]

[@harrisonallen651]

You bet it’ll be on again next year

[@andysnoopy9137]

[@Class57finnian-gl4dm]

[@SodorTrain1225]

Mabel looks lovely as always.

[@elsbridgeproductions]

This was a super fun weekend, I had a blast meeting everyone and riding round on trains. Fingers crossed I'll be back for the 80th!

[@joshuaW5621]

I need to visit a future Awdry extravaganza.

[@ilikeminecraftgaming9331]

You definitely had me cackling when you guys voiced the the model trains XD.Looks like it was a fun time!

[@evertonmignac-D7101]

This is one of those videos that fills me with exitement, joy and an adventurous feeling (even though i'm not acutaly there); Very well done there Max, you and everyone involved did an amazing job, I wonder who's coming to "visit" in the next Awdry Extravaganza? Greetings from Brazil!👋

[@Upper_Redcroft_Light_Railway]

Really enjoyable watch. I hope to attend next year.

[@Official_OCM]

Train of thought cameo at 30:36, he did not seem happy about that.

[@Scutt_le]

He looks very different to how I imagined him…this isn’t a bad thing in the slightest😂

[@Kashi-K]

[@evangaines2303]

That's awesome Max. If you could, would you visit America one day?

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Do videos in real-life events for the RWS, please

[@MountainDude1]

WOW great video!

[@joshuaW5621]

I am surprised to see one of the coaches in a Skarloey livery.

[@Terrier82]

[@Mim69420]

[@Brony2T]

I want to see a Max vs. Douglas (Duncan) FNF mod

[@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment]

As there are train shaped cookies or cakes. The real question is, is it possible to eat a train, on a train. and if you have your models- is it possible to eat a train, with a train, on a train?

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]
