Advantages: Fantastic, professional footage Disadvantages: None!
Whenever I hear the musical sting used by Green Umbrella I know I am going to be in for a real treat. Be it there historical DVDs or their train DVDs. This one is no exception.
The beginning is atmospheric and somewhat moody. They know how to choose the right music at Green Umbrella! And the FlyingScotsman makes a variety of sounds. Yes, of course it chuffs. That's what steam trains do, after all! But it purrs whilst running at speed, and it makes a sort of little whistling noise, too. (No, not the steam whistle! If you see this video, you'll see what I mean.
In 1999, the FlyingScotsman had been refurbished at the astounding cost of £2.25m rather a lot of money. And this DVD shows how she earns her corn by operating excursion runs in her fine LNER green livery. She was originally built in Doncaster in 1923 at the LNER locomotive ...

When i first saw this at my local tescos i thought a great toy for my 2 year old son for christmas last year.It was a bargain at £ 10 i thought my son would love it .He has got a thing for trainsets with 100 pieces to it and it didnt look hard to set up .I thought the box was massive and it look as though it was very hard wearing and hours of fun.

I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk trainset from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the trainset the ninky nonk trainset has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis.
The trainset can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the trainset even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The trainset is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it ...
