Thanks Warren – don’t know what I’d do without that screen!!
Loreto Bautist...
My granson will love it….he is a Thomas the Tank Engine fanatic. Grand !!!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hey Bot – they are actually creating a T the T Engine – they have had approval for 2 years now but have been taking a long time getting it done … so, it will be a great place to visit!! Thanks for the comment my friend.
Maximus
Do they sell these & do you think I could get one into my backyard? beautiful :)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
They have so many there you think they wouldn’t miss one Max – just a bit tricky fitting it in the back pocket and getting it home!
Roy barry
Now this place is Heaven, with a roof!!

Gorgeous shot Rosalie. I like the angle.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Appreciated Sharon – my camera has a very flexible screen so I can take some very unusual shots!
Roy barry
Like it????
I’m going to move in!!
I’m taking train shots today- old steamers, running on a preservation line.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
You know I’m tempted to move in myself – the government is now spending $14million on this setup!!! I’m sure they’d fit a couple of apartments in there somewhere for us!

glorious captures of all of them, wonderful ‘toys’ I love steam engines, there is that certain smell and ambience about them, I think it is called nostalgia. haha. hugs xxx
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Isn’t the smell of the smoke (and the bits that get in your eyes!) wonderful?? And the sound … nothing like it. Thanks Hilary – I’m sure many of us are overtaken with nostalgia at the thought …
