In Holland there's a TV-series for children, based on the British - American children's fantasy film Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000).

The major role is played by an old steam locomotive with a human face, having the same name.

The Dutch railway museum has converted an old steam locomotive into a train with a 'Thomas' appearance. On certain occasions children are able to make a ride with it.

When I visited this museum there was such an occasion.

If you check-out this link you'll see a similar situation that I had. I didn't know this in advance, else I had prevented this, to me a tad manic, situation.

I haven't joined the ride however. Perhaps I would have done this when I were 70 years younger, 😜 !

So, not only a Manic Monday (Mē) contribution, but a contribution for the SNATM-theme (🎥) as well.
