Global toymaker, Mattel, have done their bit to help kids bounce back from a year of lockdowns by gifting 1,500 push-along trains to Essex-based train-themed party company, Trainmaster.&nbsp; As a result of this generous gift from the global toy manufacturer to celebrate Thomas the Tank Engine's 76th birthday on May 12th 2021, train fans attending selected Trainmaster events will receive a free train!&nbsp;Trainmaster Essex has lots of stops planned including-22nd May in Hockley5th June in Southend6th June in South Woodham FerrersYou can book &nbsp;in to join the fun by <a href="www.essex.trainmaster.co.uk">clicking here.</a> Trainmaster was started in February 2018 by mum of 3 boys, Chloe Cotton. Chloe was inspired by her train-mad eldest Jasper, who was 3 at the time and fanatical about Thomas but his brother Henry would pull apart his train tracks at home. Chloe joked to husband Jeremy that they should hire a hall and build an enormous train set and after some thought realised that this could be a great business idea. Chloe started running train events in just one location and would fill the hall with a giant connecting hands on train track, ride on trains, train slides and more. Over the next 18 months the locations grew with Chloe travelling across the county. In September 2019 Chloe began to expand nationwide with Trainmaster Yorkshire, Kent and Surrey and over the next few months Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Tyne and Wear, Sussex and Gloucestershire. Sadly, when lockdown hit events had to stop but Trainmaster continued to grow with Essex, Hertfordshire and Middlesex joining the fleet. Mattel first contacted Chloe in 2019 about working together to celebrate Thomas the Tank Engine's birthday and sent her 1,000 Thomas Blind Bags containing a surprise train for Trainmaster to give away at events. It was a great treat for all those Trainmasters attending events and made home-time that much happier! Claire and Mike have just joined the team and are excited to be bringing Trainmaster events across the county.Claire, Trainmaster Essex, says, “This is such a great opportunity for us as we launch into new towns across the county!”Chloe Cotton, Founder of Trainmaster, says: "After a terrible year with lockdowns and closure, this is a great way for Trainmaster to get back to business! We are only a small business and it is great that Mattel are recognising our hard work."

Trainmaster is back on track!
