Awdry Livestream crew on the bridge over Wharf on Sunday, celebrating their efforts

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

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!

Could you dm me?

Nice! Is the print file available for purchase anywhere? 😁

This looks fantastic! Can I ask where the print file is from, and what chassis he’s on?

Two cranes stand in a cityscape. One crane says to the other "I like the cut of your jib."

The other crane says "You lift my spirits!" "You make my heart go boom!" "You pull-ey at my heartstrings!"

Both cranes say in unison "Let's fall in love!"

Both cranes are falling to the ground

A Tale of Two Cranes (2020)
Happy Valentine's Day! #ValentinesDay ❤️

#myart

Neptune, a bespectacled girl wearing a puffer jacket and bobble hat, stands in the shadows of an alleyway. She looks away fromt he viewer distantly. "Hey, uhh... it's Valentine's Day... I don't really talk about my Feelings and junk, but... today's the day for it, so..."

Neptune now blushes meekly and looks away shyly. "We share a bond like no other. I can rely on you more than anyone else. You are everything I could ask for..."

Neptune holds her hands to her chest, and gives a genuine smile. "The truth is... I love you."

Neptune embraces a shiny blue 90s sports car. "... my Galatea Trident." Katherine, a red head in a red dress, looks at this deplorable display in horror. "NEPTUNE YOU'RE THE GETAWAY DRIVER GET IN THE DAMN CAR!!" Neptune gives the car a kiss on the bonnet. "shh don't listen to her baby."

Neptune has something to confess ❤️

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. ❄️
