---

Hi I'm Tasha stone and I'm going to tell you a story about trains, folks, far apart and the magic railroad that brought us together, every story, like a railway has its heroes, meet Thomas he's my number 1 hero.

Hello!

This is the island of sodor where Thomas and his friends live

It's a wonderful place, the engines wouldn't want to be anywhere else .

Gordon was waiting for Thomas at knapford station.

5,6,7,8

'Who do we appreciate? Practicing you numbers Gordon? That's a good engine.'

'I'm counting how many seconds late you are. What does that sign say?'

'Sodor railway really reliable and right on time, signed head of the railway Emily Hatt'

'But you weren't on time little Thomas'

'And you're being bossy Gordon, now if you'll excuse me I'm collecting Mr. Conductor. He's looking after us while Emily Hatt takes a much needed break'

'I think we can look after ourselves.'

Just as Gordon was finishing his sentence a huge , dirty brown diesel thundered through the station.

'GET OUT OF MY WAY I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS HERE AND I WANNA FINSIH IT FAST!'

'BLOODY HELL! Diesel 10's back!' exclaimed Gordon

'Yes 10 out of 10 for devious deeds and brutal strength, a blast from the past who hates steam engines.'

'Maybe we do need Mr. Conductor here after all and on time too.'
