The last Sunday of every month is a special time in Edgeworth. The minature train enthusiasts all get together at their special site and open up to the public for a few hours. All they ask for is a donation and you can ride on their trains for ages!
We arranged to meet with Susanne, Darren, Oskar, Isac & Alex along with Tracey, Ant & Ciara. We had our picnics first and the children just loved to watch the trains going round on their tracks and all we could hear from them was "train", "choo choo", "peep peep", "more", "again" and it was great.
Jacob had got his Thomas hat on, loads of children were having their parties there and Thomas the Tank Engine was a very common theme and it was such fun. There was different tracks, lots of different trains and loads of us to queue up for and go on. One track went through a very low bridge and tunnel, you really had to duck for that one!
We even had a go on a minature steam roller. Jacob loved it and when we got off, the driver even offered for Jacob to pull the horn. Which of course Jacob did but was quite surprised at the noise that came out of it!
It was that much fun, we've already got it on our calendar for March! I've told everyone I know about it and I think there might be quite a few of us next time.
