  • Exhibit Overview
    Exhibit Overview Exhibit Summary All aboard to explore! Shrill whistles and the unmistakable clatter of wheels rolling over rails float across the pastoral landscape. Friendly chatter fills the air. It is a unique land that has held a special place in the hearts and imaginations of children for generations. Welcome to the Island of Sodor! In Thomas & Friends: Explore the Rails children explore and interact with the familiar faces and sights from HIT Entertainment’s popular series. Designed for children 2 through 7 (and their adult caregivers) the exhibit combines exciting play opportunities with important concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), and an emphasis on developing 21st century skills. These ideas are woven and layered throughout the exhibit, creating an experience that speaks to a diversity of interests, age groups, and learning styles. As they travel through the space, children help Thomas and his friends solve a variety of challenges. These interactive opportunities range from simple sorting and shape identification to more complicated engineering obstacles. As children confront new challenges and test their skills, the smiling faces of Thomas, Percy, and others are there to offer encouragement and remind children of how “useful” we all are. 6 Rationale “Lying in bed as a child I would hear a heavy goods train coming in and stopping at Box Station…There was no doubt in my mind that steam engines all had definite personalities. I would hear them snorting up the grade and little imagination was needed to hear in the puffings and pantings of the two engines the conversations they were having with one another: "I can't do it! I can't do it!" "Yes you can! Yes you can!" -Rev.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE UP TO THE TASKER Puffing Billy volunteer, Chris Tasker, prepares to put Thomas on the tracks In terms of childhood bragging rights, nothing quite matches up to having a dad that drives Thomas the Tank Engine! That is the reality for two year old, Sam, and four year old, Archie, as their father and Puffing Billy volunteer, Chris Tasker, prepares to drive the world’s most famous train at the Railway’s Day Out With Thomas events in February and March. Sam and Archie were bound to have a love of trains. Their grandfather, Geoff Tasker, had been volunteering at Puffing Billy since 1956, and as a young boy Chris would regularly ‘help’ his dad with his guard and signalman duties. After completing high school in 2000, Chris took on more official duties at Puffing Billy and went on to become one of the youngest qualified drivers of the Railway at age 29. This year’s Day Out With Thomas event is even more special as 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of Thomas the Tank Engine. In 1945, Rev Wilbert Awdry’s first book of The Railway Series was published, which inspired the popular television show we now know as Thomas and Friends. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first book and Thomas’ birthday, Puffing Billy Railway is giving eight lucky Day Out With Thomas guests a chance to win the ultimate ‘money can’t buy’ Thomas the Tank Engine experience. Everyone who purchases a ticket to an upcoming Autumn session of Day Out With Thomas at Puffing Billy will go into the draw to win one of two daily prizes.
