Day out with Thomas November event

Glenbrook Vintage Railway Charitable Trust Board presents:

Day out with Thomas

Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November 2016

Thomas the Tank Engine is back, and will be operating in steam at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway over the weekend of 12th and 13th November! And this time he’s brought his friends Rusty (the little narrow gauge diesel locomotive), Bulgy the grumpy double-decker bus (which will be taking passengers for jaunts around the beautiful Franklin (sorry – Sodor!) countryside), Trevor the Traction Engine, and Terence the Tractor.

Sir Topham Hatt, the Fat Controller will, as usual, be keeping everything running smoothly!

Of course the 12 km train rides behind our steam engines continues to be one of the main features of the weekend, and once again all the engines on the railway will be sporting their “awesome” faces.

Thomas will be offering free rides in his trucks for those who buy tickets for the 12 km train rides.

There will also be “Thomas” storytelling, colouring-in, a bouncy castle, face painting, plaster model painting and much more, all also provided free when you purchase your train ticket.

A fantastic array of “Thomas” merchandise will be available at our legendary competitive prices, and in time for Santa’s stocking!

This event has established itself as Auckland’s premiere event for the under-5’s, and in particular “Thomas” fans, and is tremendously popular not only with the little folk but also their Mums, Dads, and Grandparents!
