Really Useful Engine - A Tribute to Britt Allcroft (1943-2024)

Having learned just today that 'Thomas & Friends' TV Series creator Britt Allcroft had passed away just last week on December 27th, 2024 at the age of 81, I've put together this little tribute video featuring various clips of my Bachmann Thomas the Tank Engine seen running on the many various railway layouts that he's been running on in the last couple of years, including archive footage from 2022, 2023 & 2024, as well as little bits from my 'Thomas 40th Anniversary Project'.
