THOMAS the Tank Engine and his friends were steaming along Bury's East Lancashire Railway at the weekend.
Hundreds of children and adults travelled by steam train from Bury, Ramsbottom or Rawtenstall pulled by Thomas or one of his friends.
The Fat Controller was on hand to ensure that everything ran smoothly and Diesel, the Troublesome trucks and Bert the Bus were also on display.
Other attractions included rides and a bouncy castle.
The event, a follow up to a previous successful weekend, was organised by the Bury-based East Lancashire Railway Preservation Society.
People travelled from all over the North-west for the event, which was held on Saturday and Sunday.
