Here Charlie could pretend to be the engine driver he always wanted to be. He pressed levers and looked at gauges, and made impressive steam train noises - like "chuff, chuff!" for the engine puffing, and "whoo-hoo!" for the train whistle! He was having a great time!
The other bears also explored the exhibits, maybe not so interested in the engines as Charlie, but definitely up for pretending to be passengers, either in the comfortable interiors of the railway coaches, or all squashed together in the open carriages. It was great fun pretending to be on long train journeys, looking out the windows, or sitting on the velvet couches.
Charlie visited every engine and was entranced by all the mechanical gadgetry. There was lots more equipment to look at than in any modern train locomotive and it seemed that there would have been a great deal to learn in order to be a train driver in the olden days.
