Thomas and his Friends Next Adventure

Filming will begin tomorrow on Thomas' next adventure - Thomas and the Seaside Special, and it will be special as it will be jointly produced with the Pine Tree Junction Film Unit.

Will 7 coaches be enough for all the people wanting to go to the seaside?

Extension Progress Comes to a Halt

Work on the extension has ground to a halt! I should have removed the strawberry bed earlier, I can't dig it up now with such a good crop of strawberries ripening! So it’s going to be August before work can recommence.

Meanwhile at the other end of the railway the pond was unrecognisable as a pond so I've used the pause in the work on the extension to start refurbishing this area.

After - but still lots to do!

Extension Progress Update 4

The curved viaduct has now been completed - it now has 3 sections.
The sleeper wall just needs the painting finishing and the area behind it filled in.
The ground has been levelled and some planting done.
