Bill Faulkner and The Talyllyn Railway
This site is dedicated to Bill Faulkner and his beloved Talyllyn Railway
My earliest childhood memories are of the Talyllyn Railway, my father Bill Faulkner was one of the original members of the Talyllyn Preservation Society, almost all our weekends and school holidays were spent on or about the railway. His life revolved around the "T.R." from the very first pioneer days up until his death in 1982. My father lived and breathed for the Talyllyn; I would like to share with you the reader, memories and photos of this unique line. The photos and articles for this site come from my fathers collection, where possible I have credited the authors. If I have made any omissions or errors, or if you object to any of these photos being used please inform me by using the Contact Form.

To leave one’s work behind for the weekend and set off for the “other job” as a volunteer on one of Britain’s private railways isomething many of us are accustomed to.
To think that we might want to,or be able to do that 30 years on has probably not occurred to most, but a few people have been doing just that.One such person is Mr W.H.D. Faulkner, now the hon. managing director of theTalyllyn Railway.
Not only has he been a regular weekend volunteer, but for over half of his 30 years with the TR he has been a full-time volunteer, living in Aberdyfi since 1964, five miles from the railway he is much a part of it.
