[@npk765fan]

Lol

[@OliverWalkerModRail]

🤣

[@QuarrySteam]

Those slots in the wall at 19:15 are not actually from the cable, they're from when the tunnel was being blasted through the rock, they drilled holes and filled them with gunpowder. That's our engine at 7:13 by the way.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

It's a lovely little engine! A lot of people seemed to enjoy it at Wharf. Ah right! Was the gunpowder not drilled into the rock though, surely that than along it as the remaining marks show?

[@QuarrySteam]

Thanks, I am currently doing some work on it to repair a steam leak! The slots are half of the hole that was left after the blasting was done i.e. the explosion only blew out the rock on one side of the hole. Hope that makes some sense.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

@@QuarrySteam Now I'm with you. For some reason I was picturing them drilling into the rock into the tunnel sides and not through it! xD Makes perfect sense now. Best of luck with the steam leak. Hope to see and film it again when I'm next down.

I absolutely love you and your friends love for Thomas. I’ve always felt alone for years because of not being able to share my love of Thomas with others. But these videos can quench those sorrows for a while! I always love your uploads!

[@regularcitizenofffarquhar4698]

I didn't know Tim Dunn recreating the Steamroller scene from Titfield Thunderbolt with Dolgoch and a (comparatively) tiny model of a Steamroller was something I needed, and yet, my life feels a little more complete.

[@RailRocketRicky]

It looks you and your friends had a wonderful time on the Talyllyn Railway; likewise, I had a wonderful holiday in North Wales visiting all the narrow-gauge railways including the Talyllyn Railway, Corris Railway, Welsh Highland Railway (both versions), Fairbourne Railway, Ffestiniog Railway and Bala Lake Railway.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks! I'm glad you had a good trip too then!

[@jackhromadka6842]

I love the GWR and the Talyllyn railway

[@Terrier55Stepney]

You're a good person then.

[@Reading3412Studios]

Jack Hromadka well, the Corris railway was bought out by the GWR

You keep coming to my home town!! I live where the Ffestiniog Railway is located! (Town is called Porthmadog)

[@Terrier55Stepney]

It's a lovely town! I've been there every time I've been to Wales apart from once I believe.

[@sirrliv]

Lovely banter as ever. And these vids always have the best background music.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks very much! These videos allow me to express a format I would otherwise not share any of this footage with. It wouldn't be the same without the brilliant musical assistance!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks so much! I hope you did too!! :D Will have to properly bump into each other at some point.

@@Terrier55Stepney we're back for more in october! would love to attempt a conversation at some point, i dunno why i get worried. until then, i'm looking forward to seeing tom's props in coventry. the tywyn bug won't let me sleep on it though!..

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks! Definitely did, but I hope you did as well! Must properly bump into you for a chat sometime. :) Great briefly seeing you all the same!

[@theavocetpannier84]

What a fantastic video Max. Hope you had a great time in Wales, especially in Bala, the town and railway are beautiful and just fantastic.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks! I had a brilliant time. Bala is lovely! I've not been in years.

[@aderpyturt]

[@zacwollervoiceninja5136]

At 14:16, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY LEAVING ME BEHIND?!” Peter Sam says he was SURE he heard a whistle, anyway, he started. “STOP, STOP, STOP!!!!! Wailed the coaches. You’ve left the refreshment lady behind!” "Bother...! Groaned Peter Sam. We're SURE to miss Henry now!" The refreshment lady climbed aboard and they started again. That is a great recreation of the episode: Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady!

[@elsbridgeproductions]

That was really a joy to watch! I've really gotta go back to Wales one day, theres no much of the Talyllyn I missed, and I didn't even get to Ffestiniog or the Corris Railway! It's always a pleasure to watch your vlogs and videos, can't wait to see what you do next!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks so much! There's still so many railways I've yet to visit in Wales alone too, but it really does make you want to come back for more! Next vlog will be from the summer again, featuring more meet ups with people, Star Tugs, etc.

[@elsbridgeproductions]

@@Terrier55Stepney Can't wait!

[@SmudgersPKMN]

Oh Lordy, I look terrified and I can't remember why... I blame Jammy. It was wonderful to meet you and the others, here's hoping to meet up again!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Always blame Jammy. Thanks so much mate, it definitely was great to finally meet, even though I didn't expect it!

[@edwardlovesbigmacs1693]

10:01 the Dai station saga

[@SteamLance]

I know what railway it is underneath the foliage. Its the Tanat Valley Light Railway. Ran from Oswestry to Llanyblodwell 15 miles South East. Its last use was for slate traffic which ran to Blodwell Junction about a mile and a half from the crossing you came across at Porthywaen. This junction was used for the Nantmawr branch to the quarry. Now there is the heritage railway up at Nantmawr, as well as the Cambrian Heritage Railway based at Oswestry and Llynclys.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thanks for the information! I must stop by and visit again in the future.

[@funeralcrow3943]

I hope you enjoyed the Ffestiniog railway, it looks like you were in coach 150 being pulled by Merdin Emrys, I was working as a buffet steward their in the summer, at the time one of the fairlies, David Lloyd George had a crack in its boiler and so there were a lot of doubleheaders running as there is not a third double fairlie at the moment as a new one is being built and another has been taken out of service. Also, fun fact the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway is located in what was known as Minfordd siding and Russel is an original locomotive from the line, not the NG16 Garrets which are all from South Africa.

[@aandrews155]

this is so sweet :) thanks for sharing, guys!!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

If that's the case then I'm very happy it is! They're available at several railways, and on the Corris Railway's website!

Lucky to have gone to that Railway.

[@funeralcrow3943]

You should go to the Llanberis Railway, there is a great walk around Dinorwic Slate quarry their ( Maid Marian and Alice worked there), in its heyday, it was the second-largest in the world with the largest being Penryhn Quarry over the mountain ( this where Winifred worked)

[@CrypticClay]

Now that was the last piece of slate delivered good job 👏

[@Britannia-70000]

That railway at the start was used for taking nuclear waste away from the nuclear plant that used to be over the road. UK law states that all Nuclear waste must be trasported by Rail or Sea, the waste can be transported by road but not very far so that's why the railway line was there, it is still owned by Network Rail (Notwork Fail as some people call them).

[@joelightrailway2362]

Excellent video guys 👍 That was really enjoyable to watch to see variety of narrow (& Standard) gauge railways in around North Welsh as well that fantastic stand off between a steam locomotive vs steam road roller. What is your next railway to visit during September?

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you! I'm not specifically planning on visiting any railways this month, but will probably end up at one. Likely Bluebell.

[@joelightrailway2362]

Ok. Are you going for the Giants of Steam?

Was special funnel based on a real event? By the tour guide, it sounds as though Peter Sam was trundling up the line and the bridge was tall enough for Sir Handel, yet poor Peter Sam wasn’t small enough.

[@legoboysk]

[@Terrier55Stepney]

@@legoboysk Very possibly. I don't actually recall where we were driving through at the time! It was a long journey.

[@smalllocoguy770]

Looks like it in that case you were near a town called oswestry there are 3 railway in that area all occupy the same track 2 cambrian sights and there branch to blodwell where u were and we branch off from blodwell to nantmawr and the tanat valley light railway

I have a question. I will be going to the U.K. after my graduation and I’d like to have some recommendations on the railways I should visit.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Naturally I highly recommend the Talyllyn and Bluebell. Aside that, the typical big ones people want to see are the National Railway Museum, the Ffestiniog/Welsh Highland/Welsh Highland Heritage/Snowdon etc all within 2 hours drive of each other. Severn Valley and North Yorkshire Moors are also brilliant for typical steam experience. Great Central if you want a mainline experience, and Kent + East Sussex, South Devon or Isle of Wight for a typical rural branchline.

[@popcorncolonel726]

Right, cheers mate!
