TALYLLYN RAILWAY PHOTO GALLERY
These pages are dedicated to the staff and volunteers of the railway.
WELCOME
The Talyllyn Railway had its beginnings in the slate industry, as did so many railways in Wales, and a few of the images below may give you a taste of this. It was the first railway in the world to be preserved, but you must look to the TR main web-site (see below) for the history, however. This is a photo gallery!
Here you will find a collection of photo's taken over 20-odd years - my first visit being in 1976 just after the Nant Gwernol extention was opened. I had signed-on as a cleaner. Herbert Jones, loco. superintendant, saw to it I was not long a cleaner and soon I was a fireman. That visit was the first of countless....
The line exerted its fatal attraction before the week was out, as well. I found myself "hooked" - and have gone on to become Guard, and Blockman and continued taking photos as and when opportunity arose. Doing a web-site became an idea which was still-born when I discovered that it had already been done! The idea of a Photo-Gallery arose, however, and the official TR Webmaster liked the idea, so here it is. I hope you like it.

ALAN'S PHOTO RING has been devised to enable you to go round in turn all the sites with Alan Newble's photographs upon them, if you are THAT daft! Click on the icon, you'll see it at the lower end of each home page, and you'll be taken to the next site, eventually getting back here. There is no prize - but you'll deserve a medal - or certifying? E-Mail me if you like it? Then I'll know when I get no mail that it is a howling success! |

| UPDATE - 2008 Events in 2002 and 2003 have conspired to change the direction of the holidays of my wife and I, and we now spend all our available time elsewhere. The Talyllyn will see us only rarely - we are not too disappointed as the scene around Tywyn is changing rapidly and not always for the better! So this website can be seen as a "The Way it Was" valedictory of the late 90's. |
