A Day Out With Thomas 2004

Robert Thurston and his family visited our Spring 2004 Thomas event all the way from the United States. He sent the railway an email and attached a few pictures taken on the day.

Hello and cheers from America!

This email is long overdue from our visit with you this past March. We came all the way from the US to visit Thomas at your wonderful railway. I brought my wife and two boys (Simon - 4 then; and Nigel - 2 then) to The Day Out With Thomas event. We had such a beautiful day there.

Thank you so much for hosting such a great event. Your railway speaks to the old railway fans everywhere, including us. I have some wonderful pictures from our day there and would be happy to send them to you if you'd like. Please email me back and let me know.

Thank you again!
