I'm sure that that's from Five on a Treasure Island.

A fantastic suggestion John - sadly not correct, but you can see why your guess was such a good one when you compare our quiz pic above with Betty's interpretation of Faynights Castle in Wonderful Time below...

Hah yes it was the memory of Betty's Faynights Castle that put me on the wrong track.

Is the new one Five go Adventuring Again?

Aw, the beseeching look on Timmy's face is adorable! That picture reminds me that a lot of trains used to have compartments like that when I was growing up in the 1970s - probably even into the 1980s. Are there any trains of that design left in the UK, does anyone know? If not, when did the last ones run?
