List of books in The Railway Series
The Railway Series is a British series of children's books written by both Wilbert Awdry and his son Christopher Awdry.
The first 26 books in the series were written by Wilbert Awdry.
This is the first book in the series, and introduces Edward, Henry, Gordon and the Fat Director (who later became the Fat Controller; also known as Sir Topham Hatt).
Thomas is a tank engine who works at the big station, fetching coaches for the big engines and longs for greater things beyond the station yard. Unfortunately, his efforts go wrong. However, after showing that he can be a useful engine following James' accident with some trucks, he is rewarded with his own branch line and two faithful coaches named Annie and Clarabel.
James returns from the works in a red livery given to him to make him feel better after his accident. Unfortunately, he is rather careless with the coaches and gets into a lot of trouble with The Fat Controller after tearing a hole in one of their brake pipes. He is left in the shed because of it, but after making some troublesome trucks behave, he regains the trust of The Fat Controller and by pulling the Express when Gordon couldn't, he proves that he can be really useful.
This book concerns the further adventures of Thomas on his branch line, with the bigger engines relegated to cameo appearances. Thomas leaves his guard (or railway conductor) behind by mistake, accidentally goes fishing because of a broken water column and some water from a bucket, gets stuck in the snow and is freed by Terence and has a race with Bertie.
The big engines are missing Thomas. Since he left to run his branch line, they feel overworked, and some embarrassing incidents for all three of them lead them to go on strike. The Fat Controller addresses the problem by bringing in a new tank engine to do the shunting.
Henry has been having a lot of problems. He cannot steam properly, and so is often ill. The Fat Controller tries to solve the problem with expensive Welsh coal. When Henry has an accident, the Fat Controller decides to solve the problems once and for all by sending Henry to Crewe Works. Henry returns with a new shape and a much better outlook on life and enjoys a number of adventures with the other engines.
