Viewers of BBC's The Repair Shop were left reaching for the tissues on Wednesday night (July 17) when a cherished toy train was lovingly restored to its former glory. The train, a treasured possession of Kate Humphries, was originally a gift from her late father, who sadly passed away following a stroke. Kate was eager to pass on the joy she experienced with the train to her children, but the toy was in dire need of repair, having been described as a "wreck" by the show's craftspeople.
