’Dolgoch’ takes us for a Full Line Trip on the Talyllyn Railway

By popular demand, one of the worlds most favourite Steam Locomotives, Dolgoch. Affectionately known as ’The Old Lady’, we’re giving you an exclusive trip aboard this famous locomotive for a full, interrupted journey on the Talyllyn Railway in Wales. The Talyllyn Railway is the Worlds First Preserved Railway rescued by volunteers in 1951. Many viewers may recognise key features of our journey as the Talyllyn was the basis for the ’Skarloey Railway’ in the Rev W Awdrys Railway Series stories, the basis for the Thomas & Friends TV Series. ’Dolgoch’ became world famous after being included in the books, and TV Series as ’Rheneas’. The Talyllyn journey begins at Tywyn Wharf, by the coast and climbs into the mountains immediately out of the Station. Keep a watchful look out for the Engine Sheds at Tywyn Pendre as the town is left behind and the wide open spaces and mountains of Snowdonia open up in front of us. After a brief stop for water, our journey continues through stunning scenery to Abergynolwyn. Up
