Last year, during the 4th Awdry Extravaganza held at the Talyllyn Railway, a vinyl recording of the story "Sleeping Beauty" from the Railway Series book, "Duke the Lost Engine" (1969), was found and showcased in a livestream of the event. Again, like with his recording of "Bulgy", I believe this was recorded around the same time (shortly after both OTWE and DTLE was published)
