Thomas The Tank Engine Toys

How The Thomas Stories Began.

Thomas and Friends Trains
Young Christopher asked his father why one engine looked so sad?

The response was "Because Edward is old and tired and he hasn't been out in a long time." The story continued and 'Edward's Day Out' was born. Thomas the tank engine originally took family's to the coast for their holidays, and Trevor the tractor was always around to help when an engine was stuck. In time 'people' were added to the fictional story, such as Sir Topham Hatt as the Fatt Controller, and before the real steam railways of England were finally put to rest, a safe location was established in the form of The Island of Sodor.

Will Thomas live forever?
After writing 26 books, Rev. You be able to find the best Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway Trains product here .. Awdry chose to stop writing the delightful stories of Thomas and his friends, and in 1984 his stories started appearing on out TV screens. However Christopher Awdry, now grown, decided that the series should continue, and started writing short adventures for 'the really useful engines' to tell his own son. Who knows if he in turn will take on the family tradition of Thomas and friends?

Thomas In The Railway Series

Thomas and Friends
Although Thomas became the most popular character in The Railway Series, He didn't actually feature in the first book, The Three Railway Engines. Thomas's introduction into the Raliway Series wasn't until the first story in book two. Thomas came to life in the first three stories in book 2 taking familys on holiday, but longed for more important jobs such as pulling the express train like Gordon; however, his lack of experience prevented this. In the fourth story, "Thomas and the Breakdown Train", Thomas rescues James and is rewarded with his own branch line. Thomas is generally depicted with a cheeky and even self-important personality. He believes that he should be more respected by the others, and he gets annoyed when he does not receive this respect. However, Percy and Toby are more than capable of standing up to him, and Annie and Clarabel often rebuke him.

TV Series

Thomas' personality in the TV series was faithful to the character of the books. However in the eighth series, there were some slight modifications made. Thomas no longer appears to be limited to his branch line and now works all over Sodor. These slight changes in his personality and duties are probabbly a result of his "star" status being the most popular character in the series. Thomas's TV appearances were the work of Britt Allcroft, and the first stories (series 1-7) were all produced by her original company. The first series of 26 stories were aired in September 1984 on the ITV Network in the UK, with the famous Beatles drummer Ringo Starr as the storyteller. Storytellers since then have been Michael Angelis in the UK version and George Carlin and Alec Baldwin in the US version
