MOVE over Thomas The Tank Engine ... two new train heroes are in town.
The owner of Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway (CCLR) has written his very own children's book about two of the station's engines.
Chris Shaw's 22-page short story – Sleepy Little Engines – is based on the true story of the arrival of Sutton Belle and Sutton Flyer to CCLR.
The engines were originally part of the Sutton Coldfield Miniature Railway in the West Midlands, until its closure on October 7, 1962, and now the tale of how they came to be at CCLR has been made into a children's story by Mr Shaw.

That's excellent, and good publicity for the railway.  I do hope to visit the line one day, shame it's so far from here.
