![]() Kyndley at her cottage after she was snowed in and helped her celebrate Christmas with a very special Christmas party. They soon became friends after that and promised never to tease each other again. He soon needed Gordon's help after he blatantly went past a danger sign and fell down a mine. But Thomas still had some cheekiness in him, returning to teasing Gordon after Gordon slid into a ditch. Thomas also became friends with Toby after he was asked by Sir Topham Hatt to help their railway avoid a lawsuit from a rude policeman. After they went on strike, Thomas was brought back to help alongside Edward and their new friend, Percy, who quickly became Thomas's closest friend. He quickly became friends with both Terence and Bertie, despite their differences.Īlthough Thomas's branch line was indeed the pride of the line, on the main line, things were not going well for Sir Topham Hatt, who was having to deal with Gordon, Henry, and James's sulking, refusing to do Thomas's former work of shunting themselves. He soon proved himself again, though, when he beat Bertie the bus in a great race. His greatest mistake was when he got his snowplow broken in the winter and ended up stuck in a snow drift, having to be rescued by Terence, whom he had insulted earlier for not having "real" wheels. However, he continued to make mistakes and dream big, and sometimes this got him into trouble, such as when he was so impatient that he left his conductor behind at Elsbridge or when he wanted to fish, not realising the implications of a fish being in his boiler. He soon considered his branch line to be the most important part of the entire railway, a fact he would constantly remind the other engines of. Thrilled, Thomas soon began running his branch line with his two new coaches, Annie and Clarabel, who he grew to love very much. As a reward for his quick and heroic action, Sir Topham Hatt promised him his own branch line. Thomas soon proved himself when he rescued James after his accident with the freight cars, using the Breakdown Train. The cars pushed him down Gordon's Hill into a siding, where Sir Topham Hatt told him to practice so that one day he would become as good as Edward. Edward offered him a chance to pull freight cars, and Thomas excitedly took the job, not realising how troublesome they could be. The engines laughed at him, though, and soon Thomas wanted to get out of the shunting yards and see the world. He soon realised his mistake and returned to pull the train. However, Thomas was so excited that he accidentally left his train and his passengers behind, believing he was pulling it easily. He got his chance when Henry became ill, and no one could pull the passenger train. Soon he desired to pull his own passenger train too, much to the bemusement of the other engines. Tired out, he decided never to tease Gordon again, realising he did not have to be important. He was taught a lesson when Gordon tricked him into being coupled to him during his express run. He liked to play tricks on them, including Gordon, "the biggest and proudest engine of all". Thomas the Tank Engine started his life on the Island of Sodor as a cheeky little engine who shunted coaches for the Main Line engines, such as Henry and Gordon. After James came rushing through one day and crashed into a field, Thomas came to his aid and Sir Topham Hatt, satisfied with Thomas's work, gave him charge of a branch line. ![]() Thomas's real first chance at pulling a train came when Edward offered to shunt coaches while Thomas took a freight train for him to Wellsworth, but the freight cars got up to their tricks and pushed him down Gordon's Hill Thomas narrowly avoided a collision with the buffers.Īfter this incident, Thomas was permanently transferred to Wellsworth to learn the ways of the goods yards. ![]() Thomas was given charge of Henry's morning train after he fell ill, but forgot to be coupled and only stopped when a signalman told him that he had no train. Thomas was pulled across Sodor at high speed and afterwards resolved to never tease Gordon again, but this brief excursion beyond his boundaries seemed to give him a desire to see more of the world and be part of it. After Thomas acted cheeky to Gordon one day, Gordon decided to pay him out by pulling him away before he had been uncoupled from his coaches. ![]()
