Word around Crovan's Gate is that a 'special visitor' is coming to Skarloey's railway. Who is it? Watch this space...

A Mid Sodor themed photo charter stops for a break at the station by the waterfall.

A month on from #AwdryEx5 lets take a lookback on the event, featuring thoughts from staff, volunteers & the Awdry family in this new video on our YouTube channel. While this may be the last one for a while, the Awdry Connection isn't going anywhere! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GtC...

I was commissioned to create this thumbnail artwork of Edward and the Thin Clergyman for Ethan's video celebrating the 80th anniversary of The Railway Series - check it out if you haven't already! #TheRailwaySeries #RWSfanart

'It wouldn't be a railway worth writing about if things always went to plan...' Thanks to all who came to the premiere of 'The Thin Clergyman's Engines', celebrating 80 years of The Railway Series; it's been a long time coming. If you've yet to see it, do so now!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOA...

Starting in UNDER 30 MINUTES!!

Edward, Gordon and Henry take a reluctant, but surprising trip down memory lane, as they celebrate a historic anniversary for their railway... Marking 80 years of The Railway Series, 'The Thin Clergyman's Engines' premieres TONIGHT at 8pm BST!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOA...

This was supposed to be a countdown to 'something huge'; my apologies for forgetting the other days! 'An 80th anniversary only comes once...'

Awdry Extravaganza 5, 18th-20th July. Simply unforgettable. Thanks to all involved.

Dear Friends, This past weekend has been something rather special indeed. From all of us at the Talyllyn Railway we cannot thank you enough for coming to the Awdry Extravaganza 2025 - so many have travelled so very far to visit our little railway and we are so very grateful.

Talyllyn Railway volunteers Dan Long and Luke Ryan star in this week's episode of The Official Thomas & Friends™ 80th Anniversary Podcast, "Thomas and The Fans of Sodor", talking about how the stories of the Skarloey Railway led them to discovering the Talyllyn...

Soon :)

The Awdry Extravaganza 2025 celebrates the life and legacy of the Rev. W. Awdry, creator of Thomas the Tank Engine and one of the earliest volunteers on the Talyllyn Railway. This three-day event from the 18th to 20th July 2025 is the ultimate celebration of his most enduring creation.

We've got one final surprise for you this week - we're happy to announce The Awdry Auction in aid of The 75 Appeal, with bids going live NOW! We have a total of 14 lots up for grabs with something in there for any fan of the Talyllyn & the Rev. W. Awdry's works:

Happy 80th to The Railway Series. Whilst not ready for today, I can safely say I've never been more nervous making a video before. However, it is being made with the generous assistance of some wonderful people, and I couldn't be more grateful. Watch this space, it's going to be quite special :)
