Day Out with Thomas, Part 2

There were lots of old and young volunteers wandering around. The young guys were the train car crew, who were assigned to each car, handing out certificates and making sure everyone stayed sitting down. The old guys were the ones actually driving the train.


We also saw the conductor!


The train trip was about 25 minutes, and 3 miles long. We went forward then backwards and then forwards again on two lines around the museum grounds. There was a "narrator" who told us the rules, asked us where we were from, helped us yell to Thomas, and sing songs, etc. He was pretty good.
John seemed to enjoy it, but he was mostly overwhelmed with all the people and taking stuff in. Plus, while you are on Thomas's train, you can't SEE Thomas! No going around the bends on this route!





After that, we checked out all the fun stuff they had to offer.
