Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends: Into The Boob Verse.

James and Douglas the Movie Stars

Early one morning. Doc arrived to the big station to see a hive of activity. There were large cameras, and many other weird devices Doc had never seen before.

"Kelly. What's going on?"

He asked the station master, rather confused.

"From what I hear."

She replied.

"They are filming something for some big feature film here. And they asked The Fat Controller if he could spare any engines for a day. Just to film a scene or two. Apparently it's quite a large film too!"

Doc understood.

"That does leave a question.."

He trailed off.

"Who did they pick?"

The engines given the roles were James and Douglas. They had their paintwork polished, and axles oiled. Many of the other engines were quite jealous.

"Movie stars indeed!"

Benedict grumbled.

"Never heard of such degrading clap trap!"

"I'd be camera shy too if I had a snoz like that!"

James guffled, Benedict snorted crossly.

"Face it. Douglas and I will be the next Kevin Hart and The Rock!"

Nelson snickered. Before looking to his guard, who had once been a famous actress herself. And was assisting the engines on set.

"Faith? Isn't it unsafe to film in such a busy yard? I thought it wouldn't be allowed."

"They aren't filming at the big station."

She told him.

"It'll be filmed near the radio station. So not as much in and out traffic will be present."

"Besides!"

Douglas added.

"We have a professional team with us, I'm sure it'll be carefully planned out."

"Just a warning."

Jevin's stoker cut in.

"Movie folks are another breed of either entitled or down to earth. And it's a gamble on which you'll get."

"Don't worry Kendo!"

James called theatrically.

"We'll have Faith to help us! And besides! Two of the finest engines on this railway can handle anything!"

Nelson was unsure. But watched as his guard joined the two newly cleaned engines. And they set off.

The camera equipment was set up in a flash! And the filming began.

At first, James and Douglas could follow the instructions well, and their crews followed every guideline. However, soon it became bothersome.

"Cut!!!"

The director screamed for the uptenth time.

"I didn't feel that dribble you call acting! Show me why you're Hollywood's top tiers!!"

James. who was assisting in the scene was beside himself.

"Just get the bloody shot already..."

He uttered through gritted teeth. Douglas watched on from the side, waiting for his turn. His driver turned to Nelson's guard.
