I took Kai to the Tanfield Railway today, its only about 15min drive from my house but I didn’t know it even existed until last weekend. They run two steam trains on sundays, one pulling (from what I could tell) empty trucks and the other pulling coaches which you can go for a short ride in along side the funny mixture of train spotters, families and tabacco-stained beardy men…

Kai really enjoied himself, lots of grins and shouts of ‘Thomas!’ although I think he was a little disappointed the train didn’t *actually* have a face.

There was a brass band playing in one of the sheds, which they’ve got done out like a mini exhibition hall (more beardies) but Kai was obviously feeling the need to get his grove on!
