2.14 The Train Badge
The clickety clack of The Train Badge has become part of everyday life for our family as we ride the rails. I have tried to memorise the rhyme but it is tricky.

Episode Summary

Start
The Squirrels are reading a book about acorns together.
Set-Up
Duggee is playing with his train set. The Squirrels are impressed. Duggee has his train badge.
Story
The train set took Duggee a long time to put together. The Squirrels try to play with it but are disappointed that they are not allowed to touch anything Duggee has made. They head outside to see what Hennie is doing. She is excited by Duggee’s train set, she likes trains too. She shows them her train, they are impressed and she lets them play in it. The Squirrels perform a poem as they go on their train ride.
Clickety clack, clickety clack, clickety clack,
Look at the hills, look at the track,
Look at the duck, look at it quack.
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Look at the snow, look at the yak,
Look at the penguins, their flippers all flap.
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Look at the cows, hear their bells jingle,
Look at the castle, look it’s Lord Fingle.
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Clickety clack, clickety clack, clickety clack,
Up the mountain we travel so slow,
Over the top, now down we go.
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Look at the jungle, look at the grass,
Ticket King Tiger? Yes, first class.
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Look it’s a whale, look it’s a shark,
Look it’s a tunnel, it’s very dark.
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
Out in the sunshine, the end of the track,
We’ve been on a train ride and now we’ve come back.
The train gains new carriages as they go along. One full of penguins and a yak, King Tiger’s first-class carriage, Lord Fingle and the cows and the chicken house.
