Talyllyn Railway


We called in at Tywyn Wharf just in time to wave off the 2.00 p.m. departure. Number 7 Tom Rolt was in charge. The preservation of the Talyllyn Railway provided the inspiration for the Ealing Comedies 1953 film, the Titfield Thunderbolt.

The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, accessed from the platform at Tywyn and on two floors, is first class, housing retired narrow-gauge locomotives and a wealth of memorabilia. I was also very impressed with the clarity of the labelling of the various items on display - clear and consistent but not over-loaded with information.
