The Awdry Extravaganza 2 was the second Awdry Extravaganza event held by the Talyllyn Railway, that occured during July 2022. During the event many of the Talyllyn Engines were given faces and temporary nameplates to resemble Skarloey Railway engines. Edward Thomas, portraying Peter Sam, was additionally given a brand new face. Awdry's Ffarquhar Layout was operated during the event, and some of its models were temporarily taken out of his study to be put on display. Sam Wilkinson attended the event, bringing a small-scale and large-scale Refreshment Lady model with him, as-well as Skarloey's Large-Scale Model and many of its faces, and original Railway-Series illustrations and copies. Railway historian and TV presenter Tim Dunn also attended the event, again giving a reading of part of Awdry's 1972 Railways of Sodor Lecture.
