On National Volunteers Week 2026, we celebrate our amazing and dedicated volunteers who have kept the Railway with a Heart of Gold alive for 75 years!
Nothing we do would be possible without them, and we'd like to say "Diolch yn fawr" to volunteers past and present.

⚡️Meet our new Battery Electric locomotive⚡️
Built by Wingrove & Rogers in 1962, it is our very first electric loco & newest addition to the fleet in some years!
Today it has arrived back at the Railway & touched down on TR metals for the very first time.
It first arrived in 2022 but has spent time away at Alan Keef Ltd. being re-gauged among other work.
Some bits are missing, such as the batteries, and there is still plenty of work to be done. The loco is now at Pendre where the restoration efforts will continue.
You may ask will it have a name, what number will it be - & most importantly - what colour will it be? To this we say please be patient, all will be revealed in good time!
What colour would you paint it & what name do you think suits? Let us know in the replies! 👇️
2 Months until 'Race The Train' returns to Tywyn on the 15th of August.
If you are looking to enter and haven't already, then Get Train-ing!
Entry into the race and train tickets can be booked through the Tywyn Rotary Club's website 👉 www.racethetraintywyn.co.uk

"I visited the Talyllyn again for the Gala Weekend recently. It is a lovely railway line with plenty of character and great scenery. The friendliest railway I’ve been to, with fantastic staff and volunteers.
Well done to everyone (and this very rare Pine Marten!)"
