This was my first proper “good go” at filming on the Talyllyn Railway, and apart from the short section between Tywyn Wharfe and Pendre I walked the full length of the railway over the weekend. I stayed over at the Dolgoch Falls Hotel. Very good! As far as the weather was concerned the third day of the event was the best.

Alan Mills Thanks. What I should’ve done with this video was split it into one video per day, but I didn’t think of that at the time hence it’s nearly an hour and a half!

This visit in 2016 was my first ever “good go” at the TR. What I mean by that is I walked virtually the full length of the line filming as I went. The section I couldn’t really do was Tywyn Wharf to Pendre because it’s in a cutting and not very accessible. This video is my most popular.

A highlight of my summer holiday, aged 8, in 1952 was a trip on this line. I think it was just their second season. I loved it for its small scale and it’s quaint engine. Of course, all the railways were steam then.

Thanks for the positive comments. Glad you liked the video. I apologise for not responding sooner. For some odd reason I don’t always get an alert when a comment is added to a video. If you were eight in 1952 you’re old enough to be my father! 😜

You might have a chance at 'Talyllyn Lake' which is around 4km from the top Station Nant Gwernol. Although, I would check with the local authorities first if fishing is allowed there ;)
