Thomas the Tank Engine is the subject of a new documentary. An Unlikely Fandom: The Impact of Thomas the Tank Engine will premiere at this summer’s The Greatest Gathering event in Derby, England.

Thomas isn’t the one tank engine people can meet. “We have Percy for photo-ops, we have Sir Topham Hat for photo-ops, and the miniature trains as well,” Hoerner added.

Thomas the Tank Engine returns to Strasburg Rail Road in Lancaster County for final summer weekend. Here are the dates.
