Hello I'm still alive - haven't been massively active on here or over on the bad place, but definitely going to be using BlueSky as the base of operations from now on I reckon... Anyhow, here's one of my favourite photographs I took just before Christmas!

I was gonna wait until he was done but I'm way too excited with how this is turning out. Here's my 16mm live-steam 'Stanley'! Still needs a '2' on the cab side, lamp irons and vacuum pipes, but he's so close now - I can't wait to fire him up soon.

As BlueSky has just hit 20mil users, we thought we'd introduce ourselves! We're the Talyllyn Railway - running from Tywyn on the Welsh Coast up into the mountains towards Abergynolwyn & Nant Gwernol. In 1951 we became the World's First Preserved #Railway, starting the Heritage Railway movement!
