What was your favourite moment of the weekend?

It was a weekend that had everything - surprises, delights, and a little bit of Confusion & Delay! But most importantly, it was a joyous celebration of the stories by the Rev. W. Awdry that we all love so much. (1/2)

Genuinely one of the most extraordinary, inclusive, thoughtful, interesting railway events that I’ve been to. @TalyllynRailway brought a global community together IRL to celebrate literature, history, friendship & creativity. Like a ComicCon for trains, but better.
Spot on. I still loved the stories & show before learning about TIOS, and they stand on their own, but this made the universe so much richer, & sparked my interest in fictional history/lore/maps etc. It's not essential reading, but I'd highly recommend it to anyone who asks!
Not many brands/franchises have creators that were so invested in their creations that they would go into the depth that Wilbert Awdry did.
Do we need it? No.
But, isn’t it SO magical and heartwarming to know that someone cared enough to go to this length for their vision? 100%
I think to disregard the IOS book is a big lost. I'm not saying its required reading but it gives you an insight to the world the RWS lives in.
You can still enjoy the books for what they are and thats fine.
But a good portion of us love how fleshed out the world is
SERVICE UPDATE 18/07/26
Due to an operational issue between Wharf & Pendre the 11:45 ex-Wharf and 13:03 ex-Nant Gwernol service with No.2 Dolgoch has been cancelled, Rusty's Goods Train has also been cancelled. Other trains are currently running late as a result. (1/3)
What an amazing weekend at the @bluebellrailway's model railway weekend!
Thanks to everyone who came & said hi to us behind Ffarquhar Branch - we hope you enjoyed.
Such huge thanks go to my best mates behind the layout who kept it running & chatted with everyone who came along!
Ffarquhar Branch is all set up next to Stepney in the Maintenance Shed at Sheffield Park - if you’re visiting the Bluebell this weekend, make sure to drop by!
We’ve also got lots of items from our shop for sale too - and all profits keep the Talyllyn running!
