Dear Friends,
Skarloey, once upon a time, was lax toward his trucks. "They're only trucks, they don't mean any harm!" he would say. However, he now realises that trucks are a big responsibility indeed, and this story shows you how.
Best wishes,
Ethan
Hello everyone, it’s not been too long, but it’s certainly been very busy indeed!
The Talyllyn Railway is a wonderful place indeed, and I really wanted to try my hand at another Skarloey story in the run up to Awdry Extravaganza.
Having acquired at least three four or five big Talyllyn books in the previous year alone, inspiration was not too hard to come by - this story was strongly inspired by the practise of passengers being able to hire slate wagons to sail down home in after the last train during the 20s. As a member and volunteer of the railway, I really wanted to do a story which was straight from the heart and something about the railway that personally stuck with me, and slate trucks for hire fit that bill!
My space to do videos is limited, so this was quite nice to play around and maximise my room - I’m very happy with a lot of the shots here and were it not for the fact that it’d be repetitive I’d do Skarloey/Mid Sodor things a lot more often than I do!
Until next time however, enjoy!
