The other bears had gathered round to hear Charlie's explanation and to Charlie's relief they didn't all look too bamboozled by his description. Instead, they had looked really interested and many of them had understood quite a bit. They were very impressed that he knew so much about steam engines, but then remembered that he did have a load of well-thumbed books at home about all sorts of mechanics. They were glad they had been able to visit such an interesting place for him, even without all the heat and steam!
"But now," Charlie declared, "it's time for a break! All this train driving is very tiring! Let's go to the café - the drinks and cakes are on me!" All the bears rushed off to enjoy Charlie's kind offer.
If ever you are in the area of Penrhyn Castle, do drop in to look at all the trains. Maybe you could pretend to be train drivers for the day too!
