The Talyllyn Railway ~ The World's First Preserved Railway ~ 29/07/2017 2017

[@kralle98]

[@robmasterman]

That face has caused a lot of comments!

[@womble1981]

My father, who died in 2015, worked as a volunteer train guard and stationmaster on the Talyllyn railway for several decades during summer holidays. This video brought back memories and I shed a tear - thank you.

[@robmasterman]

I'm sorry that you lost your Father in 2015, but he obviously loved his involvement with the Talyllyn, and I'm delighted that my video has brought back some Happy Memories for you....Bob

[@nguyenxuan9531]

There is an old man with gray hair on the platform and he also controll the switches, he looks very kind. I think it's your father's image.

Very nicely filmed with steady shots and good editing with no beastly music, just natural location sounds which all add to the pleasant, relaxing atmosphere.

Have to admit I've really overlooked and underestimated how really scenic this small line really is, the on train footages prove it all. The Talyllyn Railway really does put itself on the map for railway preservation.

Enigmatic expression on the face of Peter Sam. There seem to be two whistles on Tom Rolt; nice Stanier hooter it has.

[@robmasterman]

It not a face I'm familiar with Andrei, it's strange how all these small Hunslet locos have such a masculine whistle, then a large loco like Flying Scotsman has a Penny whistle peep!...Bob

[@auxxik3805]

it kinda sounds like a southern whistle to me

[@lokoiutfftty]

One is a Stanier hooter, the other is a Puffing Billy whistle from Australia

[@MilkDrinker218]

I love how they have an engine named "Peter Sam" as either a reference or inspiration for the Thomas character.

[@robmasterman]

This Railway was the inspiration for Rev W Audry's Thomas the Tank series of books, hence the familiar names on several of the locos....Bob

[@amaresmommyify]

Robert Masterman why are you saying Bob?

[@DoctorOblivian]

The Talyllyn Railway is indeed the inspiration for the Skarloey Railway in Thomas The Tank Engine, almost a 1:1 reference. The only thing that Rev. Awdry changed were the names (he used to volunteer on the Talyllyn) This engine's name is NOT Petter Sam, its Edward Thomas, however once and a while they change the name and give it a face (usually horrifying) in tribute to Rev. Awdry and Thomas the Tank engine in general.

[@benjaminklaassen4722]

@@DoctorOblivianDo they change his funnel to match the Giesl Peter Sam got after his accident at the slate quarry?

[@Gaizhun]

@@DoctorOblivian it's not as bad as Nene valley railway. They have the first ever "Thomas" and it has a terrifying face. The problem is, the face was put on the loco by the author of the books, so they can't really remove it.

[@davidjohnson620]

Wonderful photography. Brings back memories of a school trip ( Chorlton Grammar School, Manchester) to the Tallyllyn railway in about 1953/4. I think that our woodwork teacher -surname Lloyd- was a member of the preservation society which is how we got to go. I have one small B&W photo showing a saddle tank locomotive and carriages with a header board which I cant read. Looks very much like Peter Sam. I now live in Western Australia so no chance of seeing it again in person.

[@robmasterman]

How wonderful that this has brought back Happy Memories to you out there in Australia David. Who knows what the future will bring..allowing you to return to the Railway once again. Best wishes from Wales.

I don't know if it is just me, but what I find very appealing about narrow gauge railway, is that it's a cross between a model railway, and a full-size railway!

If I stepped onto the ladder, then pulled on the handle, as if I tried to tilt the train over, would the locomotive ever tip if someone put force on stepping aboard? (Obviously I wouldnt want to derail a train)

Not at all, split it as follows...Tal as in talcom powder, then y as in er, the final part is the most difficult, put your tongue at the roof of your mouth, and breath out blowing air either side of your tongue, and that will give a very good attempt of Tal Y Llyn, which translates into A high Lake...Hope that helps.
