Talyllyn Gala Weekend July 2016

Post by Tony Bird » Thu Jul 07, 2016 1:30 pm

Hi,

Like many others last weekend we visited the Talyllyn Railway's Gala and played trains on both the railway and the Wharf Stations garden railway.

A short video of the garden railway.

A little bit over power but fun!

From the museum balcony I took this photograph of the visiting Fletcher Jennings locomotives.

Then Oop's the locomotive in steam ran out of track!

There was a beer tent and a BBQ on Friday night.

And in the beer tent we watched Wales beat Belgium.

We camped at Hendy Halt. View from train.

All in all it was a very good four day break meeting many friends and drinking too much beer!

Regards Tony.
