Dear Friends,

This past weekend has been something rather special indeed. From all of us at the Talyllyn Railway we cannot thank you enough for coming to the Awdry Extravaganza 2025 - so many have travelled so very far to visit our little railway and we are so very grateful.

Bigg thanks to the @talyllyn.co.uk for having Lakesider III at Awdry Extravaganza.

We are very grateful for the opportunity to be part of this extraordinary event, and be part of the amazing experience.

He's enjoyed being in Wales apparently!

Happy 4th July! Today's Guide Rail is an American special, looking at the surprising list of UK steam engines that toured across the Atlantic.

It was done many times BEFORE Flying Scotsman! (and Thomas...)

We had to tell him - Zorran is VERY much aligned with the dark side, and there was no force involved either, he was a willing participant!

Just as a courtesy to fans, this will be Top Hat’s last planned appearance in 2025 with the rest of the collection.

We are very grateful to his owners for the opportunity, and we look forward to welcoming him back for good times with his old crewmates and his umpteen adoring fans!
