Good Morning! Lots of fog outside, which hopefully will clear up soon. It´s been a cold night, well it is still March, isn´t it? Galaxy- congrats on the new car. Hyundai cars are getting more and more popular over here, as they offer a good value for the money. Before I got that little Volkswagen we are now driving, I took a look at Hyundai cars, but had difficulties getting into them. I guess they are made for  folks who are not 6´5". Jimmy - good news on that mole turning into a scab! Well, today is day three of our tour of the Great Little Trains of Wales! We´ll be setting out to the small town of Tywyn, where we will board a train of the Talyllyn Railway heading for Nant Gwernol. The Talyllyn Railway was opened in 1866, with the purpose of hauling slate to the sea port town of Tywyn. With the decline of this business, it shared the fate of all of these lines, finally closing down in 1950. Rescue came in 1951, when a group of enthusiasts led by the author and biographer Tom Rolt acquired the railway and began the preservation. Watch this heartwarming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw4JCJjV87U" target="_blank">video</a> to learn more about the early days of the preserved line! Now, let´s board the train, pulled by "Tom Rolt", a 0-4-2 tank engine, built in 1991, and named to honor L.T.C. Rolt. <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Wales08_2006_019_zps40403bc1.jpg" alt=" " /> Prayers for Jeff, Johnboy and Flip, not to forget the young girl Lexi! Have a good one!
