    I never understood why Talyllyn and Dolgoch were never drawn with faces

    • @bennewbury2572
      @bennewbury2572 Рік тому +31

      I think because they are so iconic, and I know Talyllyn is technically a character in the railway series.

      They probably *do* have faces in the world of RWS, they just weren't drawn with them

      Neither is City of Truro. Unlike when Flying Scotsman is depicted conversing with Gordon (with a face), I only remember Truro and Talyllyn being fleeting visitors on the last page and not interacting with the main characters, or at least not at lengths warranting adding a face to express their emotions.🤔

      @user-oj6el1ez5k Рік тому +4

      City of Truro’s face was never shown in the RWS. Only his TVS model was faceless. He was given a face in a magazine story, so he does have one.

    I was - legitimately - among the people there at the Talyllyn Railway for the Extravaganza weekend, holidaying especially for the purpose with my dad, and it was incredible to be able to introduce myself to people whom I had, up to then, only gotten to associate myself with through commenting on their videos. Notably I was able to hint at my plans going forward with TardisRescue - aka Daniel Long - whose videos I have had the pleasure to comment on and get pleasured responses. I also briefly talked with Luke Ryan, explaining a coincidence or two in my ideas with the revelations made to me among the crowd present for the Railways of Sodor lecture reading. I also visited the headquarters of the Vale of Rheidol Railway and had a guided look round their engine shed; I was given the option of travelling that railway on my own, but I lost out in the end. Regards, Samuel Farris.

    Glad you enjoyed you stay over here in the UK Nic. You can all be sure we're more then proud of our railways. I really wish i could go on a road-trip like this. I defiantly plan to visit the National Railway Museum in York one day like Thomas. Also i 100% agree... the average black & green liveries ( and to an extent those dull dark blue ones ) are way past they're prime. Time we finally added a bit more colour n' design to our railways like the Sodor engines, they'd defiantly be a bit more of a crowd drawer then.

    Forst of all, why didn't you reupload the first one?
    Secondly, It's amazing how Awdry's mentioning of this Railway in his books helped it become one of the most popular privately owned railways in the world. He really enspired a whole new generation of people to love steam engines as much as he did. This festival looks like it was a lot of fun and very interesting. I hope you go again this year.

    That was a great video of your UK trip! And it's great you got to see and had fun on most of UK's steam railways. Let me say, It really was a great pleasure meeting you at the Talyllyn Railway. :)
    If you're able to, I hope maybe you could return to the Talyllyn Railway for the Awdry Extravaganza 3 for this year and we could meet again, as I'm planning to go to this one. But i guess only time will tell.

    I live about 20 minutes from the Mid Hants Railway (Watercress Line). I take my son 3-year-old to Ropley station a couple of times a month to watch the trains come and go, look at engines and coaches in the yard, play with the wooden track they have, go on the miniature train and play in the park they have. For anyone within 30 minutes or so in need of a free day out, it's perfect!
