[@SkylineFan-zc1zu]

My dad owns Diana😂👍🏼 Haven’t been to this lovely place in a while cos of covid😩

[@Insect_Expert1489]

I wish that the Steam locomotives can face time each other that would be nice

[@Insect_Expert1489]

I see I wonder if you can send post cards to Edward Thomas

[@Transformersandblueyfanjason]

Happy birthday 100th Edward thomas and peter sam I'm a big fan Of the talyllyn railway

[@stultusmcgee9099]

Plot twist: The Corris Railway built new replicas of the two engines at Talyllyn so they could sell it to them and get their old engines back

[@Insect_Expert1489]

LOL!!!!!!!

[@wljzq]

Very epic tactic

[@eliotreader8220]

i understand that Tom Rolt drove the ex Corris No4 on its first run on the Tallyllyn railway

[@Insect_Expert1489]

I imagine it being the spider man meme but with the steam locomotives

[@watershipfalls5520]

That would never happen.

[@daviobryker]

Love to see your galas so far and the Awdry now Corris is great to hear and watch from Australia

[@rodreed5147]

Great co-operation between the various groups and owners

[@SaulsSodor]

Edward Thomas has brought more then just one engine then originally planned 😂

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

They should name Corris’s #7 “Kerr Stuart”

[@Insect_Expert1489]

I know a number is a bit boring sometimes

[@dysr]

No. 7 isn’t going to get named as they’re keeping up the tradition of Corris locos not being named on the railway.

[@eliotreader8220]

@@dysr that is a great shame they do not want name Corris Railway no7

[@Puckoon2002]

The Corris Railway company didn't name their original engines.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

@@Puckoon2002 Well, they should, cause it'd be suitable.

[@the_autism_express]

With corris railway #7, does that mean Edward Thomas isn't the only tattoo class locomotive? According to Wikipedia: no, he's not the only one

[@TalyllynRailway1865]

Stanhope is also a Tattoo class locomotive, the Wikipedia is seemingly wrong.

[@Reading3412Studios]

There are five up in berma Asia. And if I’m not wrong, I think that Kerr Stuart 4388 is some sort of slight variation of it (although keep in mind that it’s probably not a tattoo and that it’s probably just a similar basic design)

[@skarloeyfan01adventures]

that was amazing video

[@sdmedia1323]

There should be an engine parade soon. Maybe someone can record the whole thing and edit CGI faces onto them, just for the fun of it. Edit: Oh, it’s already been done. Still, the faces thing. It’d be fun.

[@PetrSamTheSmallEngine]

mmm skarloey railway conection

[@catapultking8861]

Petition idea: Get the Talyllyn to buy Diana and give her a future that’s bright, a home and plenty of work. All you’d have to do is regauge her and put her to work! I also have a idea regarding the original Slate industry. Couldn’t it be used for filler stone for filling in excavations and such? The Talyllyn could make money from that if people are willing to volunteer, to maybe experience the process of slate cutting and mining. Just my standpoint, I see untold potential for the Talyllyn and Corris railways with both having a bright future.

[@pedonnghaileach5211]

Slate waste is already a valuable mineral resource - it makes among other things excellent drainage stone for filling french drains- but the economics of extraction from the old slag tips at present work with motor lorries. A 24T 3 axle lorry carries a 16T payload - 12 times the 1 1/2 ton max payload of a Corris/Talyllyn "Queen Mary" coal wagon. In the case of Corris Uchaf the old waste tips - built with vertical sided walls either side of the main road to Machynlleth- were removed in the 1970's and landscaped out of existence when the road was improved. Time and a place for everything - but this isn't it.

[@Insect_Expert1489]

Railway staff:” Hello Number 7 glad to see you with Edward Thomas.” Edward Thomas:” 😀 “ Number 7: “ 😀 “ Railway staff:” Why the huge smiles?” Other engines:”HELLO!!!!!!!” Railway staff:”WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!!??” Edward Thomas: You guys planned it well hahahahahahaha . Diana: I love surprise party’s !!! This is one of the best

[@castlesandjazzers1534]

Apparently Diana got the name 'Diana' at Oakeley Quarry, but do we know why they gave her that name in particular?

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Hello James !!

[@LolLol-xy4rh]

I’m sorry but 5 more tattoos in Burma, well I need to know where are they located like right now

[@saulgodinez3667]

👍👍🏻

please add subtitles

[@Chaosmakertrio69]

Is real life mid sodor railway or narrow gauge railway

[@sirwelcome]

No

[@formulafish1536]

The Talyllyn is the real life Skarloey. Where I would argue (against younger me thinking it was the Ffestiniog) that the Mid Sodor is based on the Corris, seeing as 3 and 4 went from the Corris to Talyllyn as 3 and 4 went from the Mid Sodor to Skarloey. Doesn’t explain why Duke amd Bertram are the same gauge as the others, as they should really be 2’ but I think it’s just nice to imagine.
