A Day on Awdry's Railway Experience

Please make a selection below.

Retrace the steps of the Rev. W. Awdry with this unique experience day...

This experience will provide exclusive access to non-public areas of the railway, combined with a relaxing first-class trip and the chance to see various artefacts and points of inspiration that influenced the Reverend Wilbert Awdry when writing his famous engine stories.

Typically (depending on the day selected), the itinerary is as follows:
- Arrive for mid-morning refreshments and meet your guides, Frank Nolan & Luke Ryan.
- A quick guided look around the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, home to the Awdry Study.
- A Full Guided Tour of our engine shed, workshops and carriage sheds – where you may get to see some familiar steam locomotive friends and locations that inspired places seen in the original books.
- This will be followed by a return to Wharf Station for an up-close look at some unique artefacts from within the Awdry Study and models from The Rev. W. Awdry’s own model railway ‘Ffarquhar Branch’.
- Then it is time for lunch in our café, all included in the price.
- After this we will take a full round trip on the railway, travelling in a first-class compartment, where your guides will point out various locations of interest that served as inspiration for the stories. The train will be hauled by one of our steam locomotives that features in the books.
- On arrival at Abergynolwyn you will find a scrumptious afternoon cream tea to enjoy at your own reserved table.
- Return to Tywyn Wharf for one final look in the Museum

Also included is:
- A Certificate to commemorate your visit
- An exclusive pin-badge
