I used to watch this at my grandparents house all the time as a child, on a VHS they'd recorded. It always brings back that warm, happy feeling.

I spent more money than I care to mention on the Rapido trains set of the Thunderbolt when it came out recently. I splashed out for the sound version. My childish joy when I discovered that most of the programmed sounds are just clips from the film was great! "We want the Titfield Thunderbolt!" I shouldn't have spent so much on it, but I don't regret it.
