Thanks for the ride Sir Handel!
😃
Her name is Talyllyn!
That's a fine engine! A nice area too. Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful! If I lived in Britain, I would volunteer every weekend and summer gladly
We have many overseas volunteers who come and stay with us for a week a year!
@@TalyllynRailway1865 If ever I make enough money in my life to travel abroad, you're location #1 on my list
What a wonderful video! I visited the Talyllyn Railway during my summer holiday last year and it was great. This footage really shows how hard these magnificent narrow-gauge steam locomotives have to work when taking passengers up and down this railway with a heart of gold. :)
Thank you, this is absolutely wonderful. Brings back so many really special memories for my family. Hopefully not too long before we can visit again.
I am extremely jealous of the people that get to do this daily, I've never been there but the second I get the chance, I go immediately.
Great video.
Beautiful train journey beautiful country side
The sheep just vibeing were cute
Ever since I read this comment, I can't help wondering how to tell whether or not the sheep are vibeing or not. How can I tell? I drove past dozens of sheep today on 4 & I now worry whether they are vibeing...... And what should I do if they're not?
Superb movie!
16:58 longest train whistle ever
Looking into the footplate as well as out thats spectacular! Thanks for sharing it! I never appreciated narrow gauge till I came across these videos. I've certainly become a enthusiast of the TR now and shall have to make a visit.
Sir Haydyn’s whistle sounds exactly like Merlin’s whistle from Thomas & Friends
Merlin whistle is actually from LNER #60009
42:39
Is the Timing out a little between chuffs sounds like it love your railway never knew the regulator was down in the cab that's cool
3 has always been a bit off beat. I tend not to notice as I first fired this loco in 1978! She's better now than she used to be thanks to an excellent (if expensive) rebuild at the Vale Of Rheidol. I'm the driver in this video, by the way, the first time I've seen it!
stratman323 nice the filming is great and I only noticed As I'm a volunteer a two railways here in South Australia
@@daviobryker It wasn't my idea, I was told that there was a camera going in the cab, & I just hoped that I didn't mess anything up! In Tom Rolt's book Railway Adventure, he describes 3's test run in 1951 as sounding "like a Midland Compound working hard". 3's a 19th century loco with Stephenson's valve gear & slide valves, & you don't really expect perfect valve events from something like that. 4 is no better & 4 is about 50 years newer!
But it's not bad is it? 142 years old & still doing pretty much exactly what she was built to do but about 30 miles further North!
@@stratman3237 what is that thing you give over at 3:43?
@@wypkeanneschukken6022 That's the token (Electric Key Token) which gives us permission to occupy the single line, confident that there can't be another train coming the other way. At Pendre I surrender the token for the Wharf-Pendre section & I'm handed the Pendre-Brynglas token which I confirm with the fireman. The other token exchanges take place on the fireman's side.
Is that a brake pump that can be heard running when the engine is at rest ?
Yes.
I’ve always wondered this, but which LNER A4 is that whistle from?
4463 Sparrow Hawk. Until 10 or so years ago, 6 had the A4 whistle & 3 had the spare Britannia whistle from Stratford shed. For some reason they were swapped, but I don't know why. The A4 whistle is the one with the dent, the Brit is the one with a slight groove cut into it at the top from when it rubbed on the front of the cab roof.
@@stratman3237 how did the railway get hold a A4 whistle and a steam whistle from a Britannia? is it a interesting story?
@@eliotreader8220 I really don't know. I know how some of the TR whistles were acquired (like the pair from 7007 Great Western) but I don't think I've ever been told who bought the 2 chime whistles - but I'm glad they did!. Presumably someone bought them from BR in the 1960s, they have both been on the railway since at least 1973 when I made my first visit.
@@eliotreader8220 somebody from lner bought it after the engine was scrapped during nationalisation, and on 1968 after an overhaul sir hadyn got an a4 whistle
@@PathOfBhakti108 I'm afraid that's not true. 6 had the A4 whistle until about ten years ago, 3 had the Britannia whistle after the 1958-68 overhaul at Pendre. I explain how you can tell the difference in a post above
where's the slate quarry?
Just outside Nant Gwernol
Is it me, or does that regulator lead right into the steam pipe between the cab and dome?
That pipe is the regulator valve!
@@TalyllynRailway1865 I wondered, thanks! :)
Sir Hadain is the engine your riding in
Haydn
why is this video taking so long to start?
Big file!
Are you out of lockdown now, not socially distancing in the cab!
Filmed before lockdown
Read the description they have written! It says filmed in 2019 - pre Covid 19
How come people are allowed to ride this train. Because it's still social distancing how is that fair on the rest of us. That one train had people on it in the carriages.
Filmed last year
If you bothered to read the description, it said that this was filmed a year before now.
