Last, but not least...
Not many people can say they have changed the world through a bedtime story.
Thank you, Wilbert Awdry: for some of the greatest friends I have ever made - fictional and real.
The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum generously allowed me to get up close shots of the real Thin Clergyman's artifacts for his scenes dotted throughout the video.
I am really lucky and privileged to have been allowed to do this, so thank you to the museum curators and trustees for this opportunity.
Nathan S composed a SUBLIME soundtrack. I'm in awe every time I listen back to it. Nathan brought so much life and energy to the video, it really wouldn't be anything without his musical prowess. Please go and listen to his other music too!!! youtube.com/@Pogle/videos

Awdry Extravaganza 5, 18th-20th July.
Simply unforgettable. Thanks to all involved.
Dear Friends,
This past weekend has been something rather special indeed. From all of us at the Talyllyn Railway we cannot thank you enough for coming to the Awdry Extravaganza 2025 - so many have travelled so very far to visit our little railway and we are so very grateful.
Talyllyn Railway volunteers Dan Long and Luke Ryan star in this week's episode of The Official Thomas & Friends™ 80th Anniversary Podcast, "Thomas and The Fans of Sodor", talking about how the stories of the Skarloey Railway led them to discovering the Talyllyn...

The Awdry Extravaganza 2025 celebrates the life and legacy of the Rev. W. Awdry, creator of Thomas the Tank Engine and one of the earliest volunteers on the Talyllyn Railway.
This three-day event from the 18th to 20th July 2025 is the ultimate celebration of his most enduring creation.
We've got one final surprise for you this week - we're happy to announce The Awdry Auction in aid of The 75 Appeal, with bids going live NOW!
We have a total of 14 lots up for grabs with something in there for any fan of the Talyllyn & the Rev. W. Awdry's works:
Happy 80th to The Railway Series.
Whilst not ready for today, I can safely say I've never been more nervous making a video before. However, it is being made with the generous assistance of some wonderful people, and I couldn't be more grateful.
Watch this space, it's going to be quite special :)

It all started with three...
A poorly young child, and a Reverend with creativity.
But I mustn't say any more, or I shall spoil the next story...
