This is the long-closed Blake Hall station, on the former Epping-Ongar branch of London Underground’s Central line. (Now home to my friends Rog & Wendy). The heritage line in their garden is now @eorailway - which has run through here since the tube trains ceased: and each Xmas they run these epic illuminated light trains at weekends. Passengers can book from Ongar station for a party-themed trip suitable for families, kids and adults. This loco is a #ThomastheTankEngine lookalike - with numbers and face removed - converted Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST locomotive No. 3781… once known as Linda, but now often known to those familiar with it, as… Dave - from @Watercress_Line. ;) The illuminated train concept is not new: the @cta runs an annual Christmas Train on the L with electric stock and a Father Christmas Sleigh, but the first instance of a “train of lights” was on @DartmouthRR. . There, the team was inspired by the Coca Cola trucks advert and reckoned they could do something similar: I’ll be heading down there to see my friends running it soon. . There are tickets available at both @DartmouthRR and @eorailway and both of them are fantastic nights out- and a way to play trains like you’ve never experienced before. Do go take a ride! 😍
