My final upload from my wonderful North Wales Holiday is a journey along the World's First preserved Railway (1951)...The Talyllyn Narrow Gauge Railway in North Wales. This line is probably known best for the inspiration for Rev W Audry the author of the World Famous 'Thomas The Tank' Books.
We start at the Railway's lower terminus at Tywyn Wharf, where we see 1921 built Kerr Stuart 'Peter Sam' shunting the stock for our 7 1/4 mile run up the line behind 1991 built by the Talyllyn Railway, 'Tom Rolt' the line's newest and most powerful locomotive.
I hope you've enjoyed my uploads during my week away, all taken without a tripod and in some very trying weather conditions....It's been a wonderful holiday...Thanks to tou all!

The Talyllyn Railway is indeed the inspiration for the Skarloey Railway in Thomas The Tank Engine, almost a 1:1 reference. The only thing that Rev. Awdry changed were the names (he used to volunteer on the Talyllyn) This engine's name is NOT Petter Sam, its Edward Thomas, however once and a while they change the name and give it a face (usually horrifying) in tribute to Rev. Awdry and Thomas the Tank engine in general.

Wonderful photography. Brings back memories of a school trip ( Chorlton Grammar School, Manchester) to the Tallyllyn railway in about 1953/4. I think that our woodwork teacher -surname Lloyd- was a member of the preservation society which is how we got to go. I have one small B&W photo showing a saddle tank locomotive and carriages with a header board which I cant read. Looks very much like Peter Sam. I now live in Western Australia so no chance of seeing it again in person.

Not at all, split it as follows...Tal as in talcom powder, then y as in er, the final part is the most difficult, put your tongue at the roof of your mouth, and breath out blowing air either side of your tongue, and that will give a very good attempt of Tal Y Llyn, which translates into A high Lake...Hope that helps.
