Thomas the Tank Engine?

I used to love this kids programme. I always looked out for James (the red one) as it's er my name (though no one other than my head teacher and my mum when I am naughty calls me it) and Herbie the Helicopter. Today we sadly laid my father in laws partner to rest but before that I had a sneaky peep around his study. This guy is a train fanatic. Paintings, books, DVDs, cast models & all kinds of other memorabilia. This lovely chap was a train driver for over 45yrs. He helped refurbish the Flying Scotsman then toured it round Australia - the only steam train to go down under. Lots of guests came to the funeral that also had worked on the trains. A sad day but shared with a good man
