if I'm right in thinking Ivor the engine is running on the right line because you said you were in bottum right hand corner of wales and I think Ivor the engine was based in the books and tv series in the bottum right hand corner of wales

[rhysicus]

yes you could very well be right, ivor travelled to pontypool roads many times and so did we once upon a time.

"Not very long ago, in the top left hand corner of Wales, there was a railway. It wasn't a very long railway or a very important railway, but it was called the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited, and it was all there was."
