While this may be the last one for a while, the Awdry Connection isn't going anywhere!

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.

The Awdry Extravaganza 2025 celebrates the life and legacy of the Rev. W. Awdry, creator of Thomas the Tank Engine and one of the earliest volunteers on the Talyllyn Railway.

This three-day event from the 18th to 20th July 2025 is the ultimate celebration of his most enduring creation.

Happy 80th to The Railway Series.

Whilst not ready for today, I can safely say I've never been more nervous making a video before. However, it is being made with the generous assistance of some wonderful people, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Watch this space, it's going to be quite special :)

🕰️ ON THIS DAY - 160 YEARS AGO

On the 22nd April 1865 the North Wales Chronicle reported on the recent delivery of a new locomotive to the Talyllyn Railway, which was none other than No.1 'Talyllyn'.
