History

In 1951 a short series od childrens books called Railway Adventures were published, with the popular series following Claudia the Commmuter Train as she serviced small communities located on Puffin Island.

It quickly caught popular attention and in 1957 MBC purchaded the rights to create a childrens series on the book series, however, despite early promise the series never materialised and no clips have been released. It is rumoured that the inaccuracy in the show caused Mattia Conte to scrap his deal with MBC and focus on writing books.

In 1980 work to create a childrens show restarted, with the Ministry of Transport proposing a series in an attempt to promote a career in the railways. Work on this series proceeded to last for two yesrs, with a mixture of accuracy and comedy being settled uponn.

claudia the Commmuter Train aired in 1983 and has continhally since that date, with over 10,000 episodes broadcast.
