Thomas And The War of Retaliation

Easier Days

Well, I never know where to start but I think the beginning is an excellent place to start off.

Journal Log One:
So let me start by introducing my name's Bob, Bob Lenson. I've worked on the little island, known as Sodor, for about a little over 9 years. I work as the driver of the famous number 1 blue, little engine: Thomas. I work alongside Ted a good friend I had known since 1954. The year is 1976, a couple of decades after the tragedy of World War 2 finished. We all really hope that it will never happen again. Our young island has been luckily one of the few remaining railways with steam engines still in service. Well is there anything else to add? Ah yes, Thomas is doing fine but Toby And Henrietta have been sleeping at the Quarry lately because since the passenger tour trains on Henrietta are going down, I'll talk more about that later on, so they thought why not move to the quarry so it could be much easier to take the trains from the Quarry with workmen and trucks. Anyway I have to go now since I've just keep dropped off by Bertie at Tidmouth Station.

Journal Log 2:
Okay so I think not that much has happened so I'm just gonna write it down now:

As I walked over to the sheds I saw Thomas And Percy chatting about their jobs today. I went over and saw Greg and Sam, Percy's Crew, fire him up since he had to do the mail this morning. I decided to let Thomas have a bit more rest while we wait for Ted. Then later Ted came walking in, he said that he had to drop of his car at the repair shop since as he was taking a curve on the road Bulgy smacked into him making the car derail. Somehow Bulgy was still fine and kept driving away. Ted had to call a tow truck to pick up his car. We got Thomas prepared for his first job which was taking some empty trucks to the quarry.

Anyway Thomas's train is prepared so we have to go I'll let you all know what happens later.

Journal Log 3:
Okay so we're now just with Bertie at Knapford. Thomas and Bertie were having a little chat when they both decided, without our consent, decided to have a race. As we got prepared at the platform Thomas winked at Bertie and Ted had caught him. He walked off to Thomas to have a little chat then Ted came back saying they're planning to have a race. I then told Thomas not to and he was sad. All of a sudden, the whistle blew and Thomas and Bertie raced out of the station as fast as they could. They raced as they passed Tidmouth Station and onto the Farquhar branch. They finally stopped at Ffarquhar Station and Bertie had won. Thomas said he'd win next time but me and Ted told each other that there would be no next time.
