Trains.

We had a fantastic day at The Danbury Train Museum, Owen loved it and we had a personal pre opening tour of the trains and the yards from Owens new train driver friend Jeff! We arrived at 10 am which was great but the museum opened at 12 this particular day!! We happened upon a man who was dressed as a train driver and he offered to show us around and open up the trains for us! Cheers Jeff.

Owen tries on a train drivers cap, lent to him by his new friend Jeff.


Climbing on a diesel!

Way up on a diesel!


Chuff, chuff, chuff, stiiish!


Jeff lets Owen try on his hat and blow the horn. Later we rode on the train and then had a ride on a train turntable.


An finally..... Owen rides down to the park after a day of trains, going local and making all the stops!
