    I did that Train thing at the showgrounds I mentioned a while back. I wasn’t sure if I’d go or not, as I had a really bad experience with train people a couple of years ago, which kinda put me off the hobby for a while. But I decided to give it a go and it was great!

    obligatory photo of the Red Rattler I rode on

    I also photodumped here and posted 3 videos I took here, here, and here if anyone’s interested

    All in all was a fun day and deffo recommend if they do it again next year

      I remember riding one of those home from school fairly regularly when I was a lil tacker. The best fun was sitting on the window sills with one’s legs dangling outside. Couldn’t do it now, but as kids we were all immortal … Then the regular train changed to the dark blue kind we called a blue flyer and the old red rattlers mostly got sold off. Do they still have pictures behind glass in each compartment?
