The Polar Express

 Sometime back during October I noticed something going on in the field near the church, a fenced off area with some wooden construction going on

 

 

 Near the end of November I spotted the site looked a bit like a film set.

 

 Well I had to find out and did that at the local council office were a very nice young lady said it was something to do with the polar Express

 

Well a few days later things had changed a sleigh and rain deer had appeared
 

 A day or so later I happened to drive past Wallingford Station and there standing at the platform was the said Polar Express

I missed seeing it a couple of times but heard it in the distance, once I found out the times it was visiting I popped along for a few photos. Here it is being pulled by a diesel engine because it the train was not allowed to run backwards on the heritage railway 

Over the other side there was the geezer in the red suite witing

The train stopped so the kids could see Santa as he waved to them

Then it slowly moved along so all the kids got a chance to see him

The train moving along to the bridge we are stood on

The engine driver looks out of the cab waiting for the signal to move on

Finally they head off back to Wallingford Station and hopefully a lot of happy kids
