For Throwback Thursday, we've gone back to 2007 to bring you another cabless engine! This time it's 'Talyllyn', sighted near Rhydyronen. 📸 TR Collection #HeartofGold
This is just sad but also a head scratchier in terms of a profit return. Seriously how many copies can possibly be sold? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40506560...

The show is open here in Barrow & we're honoured to be joined by Richard Awdry, who has brought his Grandfather's OO9 layout depicting the Mid Sodor Railway - Ulfstead Road. This is the first time both of Rev Awdry's model railways have been exhibited together outside of Tywyn!
It's not *quite* the weather for convertibles anymore, but check out this picture of No.2 'Dolgoch' without her cab from Summer 1999! 📸 TR Collection #HeartofGold
Proper pre-grouping suburban stock, fit for a proper suburban tank engine. We’re closing the order books on the LB&SCR Liveried Evolution coaches in Batch 3 tomorrow, and with yesterday's announcement of the LB&SCR D1, we thought you would appreciate a heads-up. That way you don’t miss out!
The 1991 film The Little Engine That Could is being screened at a Cardiff film festival. What’s more, it's actually being screened it Welsh! I'm pretty sure the Welsh dub was lost media for a long time! www.cardiffanimation.com/yr-injan-fac...
And, to sign off the year, a couple of mischievous twins. The Rapido yellow Alfreds have become Bill and Ben! Hand-painted and weathered, they'll certainly prove trouble until I finish a Boco and Edward to rein them in...
Less on Bodmin than hoped for but not being well versed on the B&WR still a useful title. There's a rear shot I've not seen prior & the well known photo is it still ex-works as the buffers are not yet lowered. This makes the lining interesting and also states the paint is black rather than blue.

Bit ruff but updated my old Sodor & Mainland Railway map edit so the Norramby branch is omitted. Even with this correction the network is still quite long for the little Gabs so thought I'd overrule Awdry's lore of three box tanks by making the third Neilson a design able to run trains end-to-end.
A sucker for Neilson singles so picked up 5 old prints at the Llanfair & Welshpool Railway show. Unfortunately 2 big 4 my scanner so had to piece 2 halves together but thought some might like to see. G&SWR No.159. No.1316 built in 1867. ? No.1458 built in 1869. Ireland? No.1783 built in 1873. (1/2)

Not been to a re-release before so hard to gauge normal attendance but couldn't watch this with my sis in Cwmbran as when tried booking the Thurs & Sat shows about 5 days in advance there were only 3 or so spread out seats! Instead went to Merthyr & even there it was fairly full. Definitely surreal.

I was commissioned by 🍉TheJollyMariner🍉 to contribute to their "Railway Series continued" project with an illustration of their OC Haddock battling through the rain! (they specifically asked for the piece to be a variant of my 'Flying Kipper' poster 🙂)

That's HILARIOUS. And I totally know that scene from The Sopranos. It's my favorite TV show of all-time.
Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!
If you've not seen our recent shared posts on FB, then I'll enlighten all. We're collabing on a "Townsend Hook" locomotive in 16mm Scale! We're hoping for it to be out next week so keep an eye out. Or follow Gubbins Garden page on FB, either helps! #gardenrailway #3dprinting #narrowgauge
