This is rather an unexpected video as I only found out that were were going to go to the Colne Valley Railway the day before on a weekend trip 'down south'. We didn't realise that it was a Thomas event until we got there but that made it all the better as they put on a really good show. You're never too old for Thomas!
I didn't know anything about the CVR before I came to I was quite surprised at how short it is! They also have a 7 1/4" Gauge Railway which just made my day!
Great video, but do you know what duck was based off of?

@berboma It's one of the GWR Pannier Tanks.

@easta007 Not really, although there are some similarites. It's an 0-6-0T Hunslet 'The Lady Armaghdale' based at the Severn Valley Railway and has now retired from masquerading as Thomas and gone back into it's prototypical red.
