A Brief Autumn Visit To Tywyn

A flying visit to Tywyn on the way home from the Festiniog and Welsh Highland allowed the capture of these photographs.  The low season two train service was being worked by the oldest and newest locomotives in the fleet, 'Talyllyn' and 'Tom Rolt'.  At Tywyn Wharf preparation were being made for the demolition of the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum before the construction of the new museum as part of the Wharf redevelopment.
