More to come later, but I need to shout out to the #AwdryEx5 Livestream team. The most complex and intensive series of broadcasts in the HISTORY of heritage railways and they absolutely nailed it. Very proud of all of them @terrier55stepney.bsky.social @mrtimdunn.bsky.social

Some of you may have noticed that our No.7 has a fresh look this weekend! We’d like to share the heartfelt story behind this change... Last year, the family of a boy named Ethan Obi-Wan Couldrey contacted us. He was a regular visitor to the Talyllyn and often commented... (1/3)

With 1 day to go until our Railway Series Weekend, one of our Special Guests has come out of the shed early to show off his lovely new coat of paint! In fact, he's come out, especially since he heard he could be on TV. You can catch us on ITV News TONIGHT at around 7:20pm!"

Get it signed

He’s not quite done (pray for me with the windows and couplings) but here is Toby! (And Henrietta). Quite a simple repaint of a Rapido J70, but I’m thrilled with the way the colours pop!

Love the new S8 Pertwee cloak accessory!

We’re open!

Good heavens! Mrs Bird told me that this would make a wonderful present for you to watch before Christmas, and I must say I agree. Shopping is a rather complicated outing. ❄️

Gen Z lads all going in the barbers and asking for the Mimi Labonq

Repost this if your profile is LGBTQ+ safe.

I challenge anyone who claims that this isn’t one of them:

When my brother pointed out that the Millennium Falcon was famously painted with the same floquil paints that model railroaders swear by, my dumb brain would not leave me alone until I did this. There you go brain, happy? I didn’t think so.

Since I’m playing catch up, allow me to reintroduce myself: Hi, I’m Matt! You might know me as the tall one from the purple-ant way gang, or that voice in that thing what you saw (I’ve been called other names, but none of them are very polite). Here’s me and some of my stuff!

The taskmaster experience was fun, this moment was a highlight for sure though 🤭 (He did get it in first to be fair (when going legitimately)) @onemannoplan.bsky.social
