"The newly formed North Western Railway's first locomotive. Recently acquired and fitted with both steam and vacuum brakes. Here No.1 stands in ex-works condition in the company's new livery."

"Here is NWR No.2 in ex-works condition, fitted with a brand new cab and tender body. The tender inspired by the nearby Midland Railway Deeley tenders. Designed to hold slightly more coal and water and Cab designed for further cover for the crew."

A nice way to celebrate the 80th Anniversary

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!

Almost ready for rock n roll

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'!

Again wrong era of loco but hey ho
What seems to be refurbished NWR lamps fitted with discs seen in a few illustrations but these two are the main examples

Later NWR lamps to the BR (M) pattern
Wrong era of loco but I needed a decent loco to put them on

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!
