I’m genuinely convinced that Dolgoch is the most important engine in the world. The Talyllyn was the very first preservation railway(in the modern sense of the term)in the world,for the first two years Dolgoch was the only engine on the line that worked,and it worked every single job that it could on the railway,it worked like a geriatric dog essentially,and given that it was called the old lady even back then,you can imagine how hard it must have been on the engine,it had never been done,it hasn’t been done since,and it inspired others to attempt to do it again.

Kudos to the people at Talyllyn Railway for their amazing work!

It's a long,long time since I was at the Talyllyn Railway,I was a young child (I'm 49 now!) and I believe I did get haulage from Dolgoch. Must return soon. You clearly enjoyed yourself there,lucky man. Great video as usual,keep up the good work.

Thank you very much glad to hear you enjoyed it - she's a very special engine to get to travel behind!

So much equipment sold off and relocated (often to scrapyards), most of it lucky to have survived at all. Yes, truly wonderful that this line has so much of its original equipment. Not an approximation of something that was, but still intact after 150 years.

But kudos and blessings to those who preserve what they can when they can, wherever they or that may be.

Talyllyn has certainly had its moments when fortune has smiled upon it, and things could have gone a very different way. We've been very lucky in the UK with what's been saved.
