The little old steam engine has long dreamed of one day becoming a museum piece. But the museum doesn't want just an engine on its own – it needs a whole train. So, Wilma the steam engine sets out to find her old friends: Big Ellie the dining car, Kurtchen the passenger car, and of course Tender Tom the coal car. An adventurous journey begins, taking the little old steam engine across the ocean and a high mountain range, through the desert and into the endless ice. In the end she not only finds her old friends and makes new ones, but also sees her greatest dream come true!

An imaginative story that takes children on an adventure across the world

With wonderful characters: a knitting ferryboat, a retired sleeper car and a nasty desert express train

For train fans big and small
