Event Details

The event is cancelled due to the COVID outbreak.

This is a fabulous event for the little “Thomas” fans (and the family too!). Join Thomas & FriendsTM to enjoy train rides and take part in many Thomas-themed activities when you purchase tickets for the 12km steam and diesel train ride.

Thomas the Tank Engine will be offering rides in his trucks. His friends Rusty and Bulgy will be there. And of course Sir Topham Hatt, the Fat Controller will be in charge for the day.

Face painting, storytelling, bouncy castle and other fun activities will be available free with your Event Pass.

Two trains, one diesel and one steam, will be operating 12km trips over the Glenbrook Vintage Railway Line to Fernleigh and return, departing at 30-minute intervals. The first train departs at 9.30am, with the last train departing at 4pm.

The site is open from 9am – 4pm. Trains depart Glenbrook Station at 9;30am, 10:30am, 11:30am. 12:30pm. 1:30pm. 2:30pm and 3:30pm. It is recommended that you allow 3 hours for your “Day Out With Thomas”. Parking is available on-site at Glenbrook Station (the main event site).

Book your train tickets online or pay at the gate.
