Today is another anniversary, as 50 years ago, we opened the Nant Gwernol Extension to complete the current course of the Talyllyn Railway.

At our gala last weekend, we recreated Tipper trains and the opening special - complete with the original headboard!

On this day in 1951, we became the World's First Preserved Railway.

75 years ago a group of amateurs ran a train, it wasn't a very long train and it only went as far as Rhydyronen - but it became the starting line for the global heritage railway movement, kicking off the idea...

[Talyllyn Railway @TalyllynRailway]

The Railway had its first visit from one of the Reverend Wilbert Awdry’s famous Little Engines during the 1980s, and from what we hear, a certain engine is very keen to be the centre of attention on Saturday!
