"A treasure is missing on the island of Sodor! Where could it be?"--Page [4] of cover.

When Thomas the Tank Engine decides not to make his usual station stops one day, he learns that faster is not always better.

Summertime is always beautiful on the Island of Sodor. It is a busy time for all of the engines ... but when the Steam engines and Diesels can't get along, and no work is getting doen, the engines are in a terrible mess!

Allan, who loves trains and learns all that he can about them, has a wonderful time when he finally takes his first train ride.

On a snowy Christmas Eve when all of Santa's reindeer come down with bad colds, the Little Blue Engine helps him deliver one last toy.

Since the birth of the railroads in the early Industrial Age, people across the world have been fascinated by the locomotive as a powerful symbol of advanced technology and an exciting means of transport. From the early beginnings of steam power to today's high-speed passenger trains, this book spans nearly two centuries of locomotive and railway development.

Hop on board as Thomas learns to navigate a difficult bend on his new route. See Thomas and Percy work hard to achieve their goal of being the cleanest engines, and more Thomas adventures.

Loco for locomotives? Get your ticket ready - here is everything you need to know about finding, keeping and training your very own pet train. Finding advice on caring for a dog, a cat, a fish, or even a dinosaur is easy. But what if somebody's taste in pets runs to the more mechanical kind? What about those who like cogs and gears more than feathers and fur? People who prefer the call of a train whistle to the squeal of a guinea pig? Or maybe dream...

Get on track for a fun-filled, full-steam-ahead adventure with trains of all kinds, including steam trains, diesels, trollies, and much more as you climb into the cab with your friends, Engineers Gus and Sam.
