Is anyone else looking at the latest centenarian and thinking of Tom Rolt's description
"of a standard type, a mere thirty years old and lacking the particular historic interest of Dolgoch"?

Where the hell did all those years go?

 

Edward Thomas and Sir Haydn are the service locos according to https://www.talyllyn.co.uk/which-locos-are-running

No. 7 will double head the 10:30 & 14:05 services with Edward Thomas on Saturday and Sir Haydn on Sunday.

Diana and Stanhope will be at Wharf station on temporary track. Footplate rides will be available on Diana for a donation.
