“...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. And in a shed, in a siding at the end of the railway, lives the
Locomotive of the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited, which
was a long name for a little engine so his friends just called him Ivor...”
Presenting the newest and proudest member of the Grumbly and District Choral
Society, Ivor the Engine. Ivor was fitted with three organ pipes so that he
could join the choir - originally he only had a whistle. As Evans the Song
said, that would have been all right for a Chinese choir, but not a Welsh one.
So Ivor sang in the choir. His boiler is fired by Idris the dragon and Jones
the Steam is his driver.
Only one picture at the moment. I’ll add more but I’ve got to tidy him up a bit
and sort out the RC power supply truck.
He uses the new RC motor with wheels from Big Ben Bricks. Hooked up to the RC
baseplate, he can drive around.
Here you can see him
as he appeared in the original TV series, and
here you can read all about him.

| (...) You know what, I just can't say "Jones the Steam" in anything other than a (fake) Welsh accent :-) Ivor was a favourite from my childhood. I love your version and can't wait to seem him for real. Awesome. Martin (18 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
