THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE & FRIENDS
AT SHACKERSTONE STATION
ON THE BATTLEFIELD LINE RAILWAY
17th & 18th May 2008

There will also be some other friends of Thomas appearing over the weekends. Daisy and Duck will be out and about along with some of the Shackerstone locomotives that you may have already met. The engines will be busying themselves around the station site with some fun and games and maybe some shunting of trucks and wagons.

Who will you cheer on in the Engines Races? Will the Dirty Diesels play fair or will the Steam Engines prevail?

There will be fun and games for all the family including;

• Colouring Competition
• Engine Races & Games
• Face Painting
• Rides In the Railcar
• Story Re-enactments
• Thomas & Friends DVD Stories

• Rides on the main train to Bosworth Battlefield
