Antells often come to the Llangollen railway near me with a Thomas amongst others. The old Cadzow DAF has seen some work in its time but still looks good!

That's what I'd heard. They know how to charge the customers at events too. We were near Embsay over Easter weekend and looked to call in on the Thomas event but £45 for the family was a bit too much to stomach.
East Lancs railway has I believe stopped running Thomas trains for cost reasons.

I had a bit of a clean up on Photobucket, put things in their files, so the link was different, should be back now.

Rail delivery. Sorry I have no pics of the rail landing on the ground but I was trying to wrestle with a couple of tonnes of track.lol. The hiab was at full stretch and had no problem with the weight.
