THOMAS the Tank Engine fans will be steaming down to Kidderminster over the next two weekends to see the real-life loveable train and his pals in action.
Up to 15,000 visitors are expected to descend on the Severn Valley Railway to spend a day with Thomas and friends.
The railway hopes the release of a new ITV series will push figures through the roof.
There will be five live shows on Saturday, May 10 and May 17, at Kidderminster Town station, although the whole 16-mile railway will once again become an "all things Thomas" corridor.
Other attractions will be the world's biggest Thomas bouncy castle and bendy balloon man at Bridgnorth, Zeppo the Magic Clown and a Punch and Judy Show at Arley, Thomas videos on a big screen and brake van rides from the bay platform at Bewdley.
