I am going on a steam train next weekend. I am too young to have been on them as a child, but I still find them much more fun to travel on than diesel trains. For the children they liken it to Thomas the Tank Engine, but for me it is more like Harry Potter! I just love the clickety clack sound, looking at the engine and the overall joy that both my husband and my children seem to get from going on there. It just gives us all a fantastic relaxing experience and even better, the children travel for free!
