160 Year Old Steam Locomotive! - Engine Stories: Talyllyn Revisted

Welcome back to Engine Stories - it's been a while! 160 years ago, on the 24th September 1864, our very own No.1 'Talyllyn' was deemed "complete" by her makers Fletcher Jennings & Co.
Sit down, relax and revisit her story to celebrate 160 years of 'Talyllyn' - our No.1!
Engine Stories is a series going over the history of our well loved and famous little engines, written and narrated by Daniel Long.

Happy 160th birthday Talyllyn! And let’s not forget skarloey Is also turning 160 years old.

[@bryantan863]

I hope Dolgoch will get his history video uploaded onto the Talyllyn Railway's UA-cam channel soon to celebrate his 160th birthday. By the way, happy 160th birthday to Talyllyn.

[@sirmatsdubois2509]

Being 160 years old and still working it's quite the achievement. I mean the oldest engine I've ever seen is the Pays de Waes in the Belgian Railway Museum train world. It's technically also a narrow gauge since it runs on narrower tracks. and it was from 1844 But has never worked in preservation. that just goes to show how rare this beautiful locomotive is (And I am talking about Talyllyn When I said that.)

Happy 160th Birthday to Talyllyn and his “Little Old Twin” Skarloey!

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Little old engine she is
Got to see her at the extravaganza 4 and WOW she may be small for a steam engine but is mighty good looking and powerful it seems too . That blue you lot put her in is so glamorous . Same with dolgoch and her green paint . Tho I do prefer the green for talylln also I do like her blue .

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Hopefully by the time the next event comes around Bachman will have released there 009 talylln in green , black or red . Why not her blue one I don’t know tho I ain’t to fussed .
Anyways love your little railway in the hills so relaxing and calming . Couldn’t help but sing skarloey songs and hart of gold whilst seeing the trains go by . The viaduct is really magical to me . Reminds me of the time a certain Scottish engine based of Douglas got stuck on there 😂😂😂.
And warf is so nice . Got to see midlander as rusty and sir Hayden with an eyepatch . Alf dressed as Fred and Tom rolt too
Love the railway . I am dragging my mom back yearly now 😂 . She wants a piece of welsh slate from the quarry next time we come over . And I wanna give a go at voulenteering . Like the revrend did all that time ago . I have always seemed to be interested in guarding a passinger train . Seemed fun . Let’s seee if I don’t forget nobody tho 😂
Bye

Where did you get the recording of Awdry narrating the other books? I thought he only narrated his first two stories.

[@toyotaprius79]

The only other famed thing fact or fiction that I know to be around 160 years old is Professor Farnsworth

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Penblwydd hapus, Talyllyn!

[@ryleeculla5570]

I wish someone did a joke when they would write a letter saying “happy birthday Tallyllyn 160 is a big feet I wish you dry rails and smooth runnings -sensorially Skarloey”

[@RG-Models86]

Penblwydd Hapus Talyllyn 🎂

[@jaanshersaeed4541]

So while Talyllyn arrived on the 24th of September 1864, does anyone know what month in 1864 exactly they started building her? I haven’t found anything.

[@TalyllynRailway1865]

As said in the video, she didn't actually arrive until April 1865 - but was completed on the 24th September 1864.
It is theorised that the order may have been placed around April 1864, based upon the build timelines of other Fletcher Jennings locomotives.

[@Scorp-tw8xd]

Yoooo our engine's getting old

[@bskorupk]

What flavor was the Cake? :)

[@trainsimulatordriver]

I was lucky enough to arrive just in time to see Tallylyn revealed in her new blue earlier this year.
