Thomas the Tank

This little steam train was making journeys from Llangollen & back billowing his big white clouds of smoke
What a wonderful and happy capture. Love it.

Beautiful shot! We spent a lovely day in Llangollen a couple of years ago.

Never forget my daughter spoiling the Thomas experience for my son who was about 5 at the time. She said "look it is a train with a plastic face stuck on". She hasn't changed. Cruel girl. Lovely shot, looks as if it is straight out of a Thomas Book.

Thank you all so much -- seeing the steam train is one thing ,but seeing Thomas really brings the child out in one self !! and like the many people crowding on the bridge over the Dee river looking down on the railway station & Thomas I had my camera on the ready !!A real attraction for the children & the young at heart . @lucypics Lucy ,,things like this often happens in sibling rivalry !! @gamelee I was so pleased I caught the smoke As he started off I expected him to come forward but it reversed back along the line so this was the only chance I had on the smoke !! @pippinfur Hi thanks !!

Thomas is very popular with our granddaughter - we're often assigned roles to play when she's here (Gramma, you be Percy.....)
August 9th, 2013  
So he is popular there too.

@beryl

Oh, so sorry about the payback Beryl, hope you feel at least more comfortable soon.
August 9th, 2013  
Ah love Thomas the Tank --- how fabulous

This brings back memories my children were utterly obsessed with Thomas the Tank and would sit and watch for hours if I let them. Funny they always used to put it on when they were ill, even though they were probably a bit old for it - I think they liked the familiarity of the music (drove me nuts!!)

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel --things are easing now a bit after taking my painkillers !!
August 9th, 2013  
@zambianlass @paulaw Thank you both so much --It seems that Thmas the tank has entertained generations of children on TV & in Books

Splendid shot Beryl! Timing perfect.. the steam makes the shot!
August 15th, 2013  
@yrhenwr Thanks -yes I was there at the right moment ,I had expected a second shot -but instead of coming forward Thomas went in reverse !! & the covered bridge destroyed the smoke effect !!
