Today happens to be the Reverend W Awdry's birthday, and, having recently completed a 009 Skarloey train and a set to show it off (you have Luke Ryan to thank - Awdryex is going to be fantastic), I felt it was too good an opportunity to pass to make a little video.

Happy 70th to the Talyllyn Railway, and happy birthday to Rev Awdry - both go hand in hand as quaint, perseverant and timeless.
