We knew it was good - but did anyone realise just HOW good? Thanks everyone for supporting not just the Talyllyn, but the local community too. A railway is more than just the trains - it's the people it connects with along the way, quite literally.
Tim Dunn@MrTimDunn

News just in: £400k!🤯 Props to the whole @TalyllynRailway team, and THANK YOU to everybody who came to Wales for #AwdryExtravaganza5. The little railway where volunteer-led preservation began in 1951 still has worldwide appeal: #ThomasFansUnite🥰 railadvent.co.uk/2025/08/awdry-…

It's unnerving how many scam adverts are appearing on YouTube these days. "This secret technique to make millions" has been about a while but now it's things like "wonderful realistic puppy/panda toy" with clearly AI generated imagery.

Why is this upsetting people? She passed away and her family are no doubt trying to reduce the amount of things they have in their care. If anything, be glad there's an opportunity to own something here and that it didn't go in the bin.

I don't think was enough noise. Try again in five year's time. Cavalcade of locomotives to see out the @bluebellrailway 65th anniversary gala.

@RailInspector @t55stepney I've had that happen a lot on mobile if you accept the auto complete suggestion; you see the completed suggestion in the edit field but it's the partial text you physically typed that gets posted. I try to remember to write something afterwards to ensure the right text is posted.

I want to thank my friend James for letting me scan the auction lot he won - some pack scale cars! Here are some photos showing the process and the resulting scans in Blender. Thanks to @CupOfCoffee874 for this render! The link to these scans is on my profile.

Fun fact: I later found out that @10LEIGH10 and I had been bidding against one another on Lady Hatt. I offered to sell it to him for 25k but he only offered a packet of crisps. A Cheese and onion one at that!
EmeraldTender@EmeraldTender

@RailInspector Cool cool! I did notice the Lady Hatt figure and was like, wait a minute did Neil win that too?!

My Two AwdryEx traditions remain unbroken: 1) Fail to get my Wilbert model on the Farquhar layout, 2) a photo with Veronica Chambers.
