Yesterday, we went on a trip to see
Thomas the Tank Engine. There is a local working steam train museum type thing called
Telford Steam Railway in Horsehay, Telford and amongst their collection of trains they have various trains from Thomas and Friends. They hold different events during the year but the best one for the kids is the Christmas one where they get 2 rides on Thomas and then they get to see Santa in his grotto and he gives them a present.
