Railway Adventure

Skarloey and Rheneas are the oldest engines on the narrow gauge railway. Things haven't always been smooth sailing for them though.

Let us step back in time to when the railway was at a crucial juncture.

Watch out for further stories from the Skarloey Railway, coming from other users soon!

This story is loosely based on the history of the Talyllyn Railway as documented by L. T. C. Rolt in his book "Railway Adventure". The culmination of almost a year's hard graft, this project was originally planned to launch back in May, then September, then... well, you get the idea. In fact, it was only signed off complete eight hours before release!

It's not just been me working on this. There are so many people who have been involved behind-the-scenes that I'd like to thank, not least my voice cast:

And now I think it's time for a well-earned break.
