Straight out of a Thomas book and out onto the roads, here is THE road vs rail race of our generation. Tim Dunn repairs Sir Handel's train with a rubber glove, Carr gets waterboarded when they overheat, and both encounter a series of unfortunate setbacks that make it a very close jig!

This was part of the Awdry Extravaganza 5 Livestream, celebrating the proud connection that the Talyllyn Railway has with The Railway Series. Our team broadcasting the livestreams of the event, featuring Matt Parmenter, Tim Dunn, TheTrainModeller, Thomasthetankman111, 10Leigh10 and myself can now share with you the most ambitious of plans from both in front of and behind the cameras.

Easily the most ambitious live broadcast a heritage railway has ever attempted, and one of the most fun things I have ever taken part in. Worth running up the hill at Dolgoch in a suit.
