Steph, Michelle and Sevan were one rail engineer light this morning for GoodGym Ealing's early service. Still, they were excited to be helping All Aboard Club to create a fun yet complicated train track layout for SEND and autistic children to play with.

There were 6 volunteers in total to get creative with 7 big boxes full of track pieces, bridges and rolling stock. One of the volunteers even looked like a pro, bringing their own knee pads. Steph and Sevan went straight into building their own mini railways, while Michelle, whose first time it was with All Aboard Club, was given some track building advice before getting stuck in too.

Between the volunteers, they managed to put together:

  • An never ending loop, guaranteed to result in poor passenger satisfaction scores
  • A tourist branch, taking a scenic loop of a corridor outside the main hall
  • Double and triple bridges!

Once they'd linked their individual pieces, they thought they were done. Then task owner Richard asked them to go even bigger, so they did.

Track laying was completed right before the first train driver (and imaginary, fare paying passengers) burst through the doors. They were super excited and the first thing they wanted to do... was change the track layout with their own modifications. Everyone's an critic ๐Ÿ˜‚. That was the cue for the GoodGymers to leave, before all their hard work was remixed and ripped apart.
