Talyllyn Railway and Narrow Gauge Railway Museum - 14 August

A trip to the 2ft 3in gauge Talyllyn Railway at Towyn did not bring good weather. The line itself is pleasant and bucolic.

I suppose if you are going to have a 'Thomas' face,
it might as well be of a loco actually featured in the books
(although the colour isn't right).
EDWARD THOMAS (a.k.a PETER SAM) at Nant Gwernol.

Right colour - no face. DUNCAN at Wharf Station

MERSEYSIDER - a modified Ruston - at Pendre Workshops

The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum at Towyn has some excellent displays in a very confined space.
