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
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?
