Day out with Thomas - Kirklees Light Railway - May 2010

@cprich22

Unfortunately the locos that Thomas is based on were all scrapped by 1961. So if you are going off the TV shape then the 0-6-0T Jinty is a close resemblence.

But any engine will have more detail to them than the TV characters and look slightly different. Henry is based on a Black 5 but the TV shape isn't anything close to looking like a Black 5.

Does it matter to many children? Probably not. It is all about the excitement, fun and imagination.

@TTTEFanNo22 isnt gordon a A1 pasific like flying scotsman?

[TTTEFanNo22]

@cprich22

Yes he is. In a book called Island of Sodor: It's People, History and Places it says that Gordon was based on the A1 pacific designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. Also another good book to read is the Autobiography of The Reverand Awdry. Both books you will probably have to look for on ebay as both are out of print.

Are you coming the Thomas event at Bressingham?

[Evsta101]

Wow Callum, you're really good with the kids!

You have the enthusiasm that's need, well done.

[Sketchy2009Studios]

Callum You are a wonderful person working to help with the event!

[cyril227ify]

This is a great advert for DOWT, it should be on TV! What movie program do you use?

Mavis and percy are quite accurate to the TV series! Also that diesel that is on the raised track and it is really small, should be made to look like rusty for the DOWT event!

[petersam4]

LOL You've been doing TFC's job, Callum. :-P Also I can guess why he said he hoped Thomas hasn't been eating at McDonald's: He wants all the Big Macs to himself. XD

[ThomastheE2engine]

how much steam is wasted by all thoughs whistes?

[LeonSKennedy828]

I kinda hate it when those Thomas creations have the wrong wheel mechanism ^^;

[ScottishRails]

That must have been very fun! :)

[TheNumber1Engine]

Is the Kirklees Light Railway a narrow gauge railway?

[SI3DFilms]

Yes

[Thorpedo619]

Callum this is an awesome video, it looked like you had a really nice time. The engines are incredible, I really mean that. If I can I will have to go to Kirklees during one of these events it looks amazing.

Good work Callum
