Talyllyn Railway





I'm going to tell you about Talyllyn Railway.



Talyllyn Railway is a location in Wales of the United Kingdom. It has Narrow Gauge Engines and Narrow Gauge Coaches and Cars. It carries passengers. It also travels up to the mountains. It has nameplates on their boilers called Talyllyn, Dolgoch, Douglas, Sir Haydn, Edward Thomas, Prince, Tom Rolt, Midlander, Russell, Palmerston and Peter Pan. It reminds me of Peter Pan from Disney film 1953 before my Mom was born. I went to Wales with my family in 2010 a long time ago.



Wales also has Ffestiniog railway with slate cars. Ones has slates and some are empty. It has a double fairlie engine. The double locomotive reminds me of the double-decker bus. It goes backwards and forwards. It has a four-wheeled trolley called Toby. It also has Alf the Narrow Gauge Diesel engine.


The other engines are Sea Lion, Leighton, Baldwin Class and Bathala the mine engine that works at the mine.

Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway



I'm going to tell you about Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.




Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is in Cumbria. Which also known as the miniature railway. It has small locomotives and small tracks. It has a Museum. The small locomotives have nameplates on their boilers called River Irt, River Esk, River Mite and the rest of the trains. It has coaches and cars. Hurricane has a blue paint like Bert, Goddess has a green paint like Rex and Hercules has a red paint like Mike.




Northern Rock is a yellow miniature steam engine that takes passengers. Perkins, Cyril and Shelagh of Eskdale are 3 miniature diesel engines that lived in miniature railway. The drivers were tall in their cabs. They put coal on the fire to keep the trains move. Trains also take on water. It's a lot of fun to ride on the miniature railway. I haven't been to Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway before.





 River Irt is the green locomotive from 1960 a long long time ago since my father was little and young. River Irt is original engine and it was rebuild back to life.

National Railway Museum in York



I'm going to tell you about the National Railway Museum in York.




The National Railway Museum in York located in the United Kingdom of England. Which means Grand Duke of New York. It has Museum trains such as Green Arrow, Mallard, Duchess of Hamilton, Rocket, Flying Scotsman, Deltic, and the rest of the trains. It has a turntable that can go round and round. It has Thomas the tank engine is when I was little a long long time ago. It reminds me from the railway series book called Thomas and the Great Railway Show and it was narrated by Ted Robbins.
