A collection of four stories chronicling the adventures of several railway engines.

Eight famous engines in four adventures - cheeky Percy ends up rather wet, James learns not to be so cross, Gordon finds London has changed its name, and Thomas nearly misses an important outing when he starts showing off.

James boasts to the other engines that he is never late. Then one day Toby blocks the line when he tries to get through with the express.

The Reverend Awdry created Thomas the Tank Engine for his son, Christopher Awdry, who continued his father's work by writing a further 14 books. Thomas fans will be delighted to see all of Christopher Awdry's stories beautifully reproduced and printed for the first time since 1996. Christopher Awdry's first Thomas book for 10 years is also being published by Egmont in September 2007.
