'Why didn't they just-' They probably either didn't realize that was an option, was declined service, or out of sheer determined principle to show everyone else what THEY can do. And By God I RESPECT that.

when i saw the words Talyllyn and lawnmower my brain imagined Talyllyn pushing a metal wagon with a mower blade and chute underneath it passing Dolgoch while mowing weeds off the tracks

You should definitely make a separate video on the build process of your lawnmower model, it'll be very interesting!

Can you talk about more retired talylynn Railway engines

There's only been like, 2 that were retired. If you consider engines that used to work on the Talyllyn, there's about uhhh, 4, including the Lawnmower and Charlie's Ant, so, not many.

My pleasure brother man, thank you so much for watching if anything 🙏 She is abit addicting once you find out about her and the others like her; I’m hoping this develops into a whole series! 🤣

Hopefully this becomes a series because I would love to see the retired engines of famous railways!

I hope they do restore The Lawnmower as to see the original No. 5 Talyllyn engine would be so cool! I didn’t even know she existed until a few weeks ago. Besides, it’s size is really cute!

I see you’ve gotten to work on those kits

Lawnmower is one of the more unusual unique engines. Not part of an experiment like the W1, or the result of unusual requirements like the narrow gauge Garratts of Myanmar, but simply built because they could with what they had. Incredible.

Awsome video trainboy

Dang everything dwarfs poor Lawnmower. Even Alf and he is the smallest Scarloey loco out there. Now I do hope it gets a Railway Series name, Buzzcut or the like. Sir Handle sure hates being pulled by it. Duncan must detest the poor thing. 😆

Imagine a story where Rusty finds the SKR equivalent of The Lawnmower overgrown & derelict, so he gets it restored. But bitter about it being replaced, tries to get rid of Rusty.

I know i said it in the post you made to promote this video but i am glad the lawnmower is getting more recognition since it does have a role in preservation history...im currently working on a few variants of the original no.7 both in talyllyn and skarloey variants for trainz however i also plan to make a 3d lawnmower of my own at some point....keep up the good work...and hope to see more videos on little known engines in the future....i know the talyllyn railway has quite a few diesels that never have gotten too much limelight

KZread doing its thing and showing me an advert for an actual lawnmower before the video 😂 That’s a really cool project by the way! A powered coach would work well to propel it if you can’t find a small enough motor chassis for Number 5.

It's criminal that I never heard about Lawnmower until a few days ago considering just how important she was to Tallylns history

Anytime I hear about these lil homemade and hard working wonders it's hard not to fall in love with them. I definitely need to make my own model of it now.

Watching this from the Tallylyn Railway itself. Very surreal experience looking at the archive photos now finally understanding how things are laid out.

The engine failed after someone forgot to give it oil. My family has 2 model Ts and 2 Model As over the years, and they are almost bullet proof But nice to see more models

What a Great little summary of 5’s history! One thing I would note is that the wagon at 3:10 was not made it of The Lawnmower, but is actually an old RNAD wagon which is much larger.

I honestly want to know how you ordered it but bar that I love this little dude, also I think the loco that has the chassis is sold at Greenberg so something in mind for November.

Excellent work my man.

How funny is it that the original No. 5 “Lawnmower” was a dangerous piece of junk meant to be a quick replacement for a proper steam locomotive... and fifty years later, we are planning on rebuilding this piece of junk... in commemoration of the man who helped preserve the steam locomotives! One generation’s trash, has become another generation’s railroading treasure. History has a habit of traveling full-circle in this manner ;)

I mean, to be fair, if it works, it works. The only gripe i have is if they give it the number 13, like, not only is it an unlucky number, but like, the Talyllyn doesn't even have a number 8 or 10 anymore-

For stuff that can't be powered, you could do a box van/wagon with a motor inside

Great video!

your lawnmower looks great hope to see it run with power😃😃

I bought this model because of you and it just came in the mail today. The stack broke off but other then that im excted. You should so make a video for the build process so ik what im doing.

I’ve been to tallyln in real life so thanks so much

I had no idea such an engine existed or that Midlander wasn't the first #5. It's practically lost history. I'd love to learn more about other retired or scrapped Tallylyn locos.

I didn’t know that the Talyllyn Railway had forgotten locomotives!

If you can't put a motor in the loco itself you could always cheat and make a powered box car that Lawnmower can pull behind. Sort of how the Skarloey engines in season 4 had to have a separate battery box for their eye mechs that they hid off screen or in a box car. Though I can imagine that might be annoying because ideally you would want to have the engine be able to pull itself. Just an idea!

I think I can see another review coming about certain narrow gauge Blue engine with the number three on the side
