Railway Adventure
L.T.C. Rolt was one of a small group of amateur railwaymen who made their dream of running their own railway come true. His amusing account of this unique achievement is a record of individual enterprise and creative effort as refreshing as it is rare. Established by Act of Parliament in 1865 and unaffected by mergers and nationalisation, the Talyllyn Railway has been serving a remote and beautiful valley in the Merioneth mountains ever since.
