Santa Specials a great success so far…
Sunday, December 10th, 2006
This year the Santa Specials have been even more popular than we expected. A huge crowd turned out to see off the first trip with our ‘very special guest’ taking a well earned break from wrapping all those presents.
Below you can see a train leaving the platform.
A large group of well wishers and supporters turned out to wave them off.
Leaving the station and heading for Moreton Bridge…
After a fine run, Arthur pulls into the platform and delivers his ‘special guest’ to Santas Grotto…
The specially cleaned out Engine Shed made a fine Grotto, if a little chilly. Still it is supposed to be the North Pole!
We are not sure who enjoyed the visit the most, the adults or the children. A few snaps below to give you the flavour of the events…
One little guest telling Santa what she hopes for this Christmas…
Well, thats it folks, our first year of running a garden railway is almost at an end. All the staff would like to wish you a very happy Christmas, a peacefull new year and a big thank you for visiting the MPLR.
