My own take on the Thomas and Friends special "The Adventure Begins" and a prequel to my first story "Thomas and the Great War". It tells a more canonical/historically accurate account of how Thomas came to Sodor became the world's number one steam engine.

Based on the World War II movie "The Adventures of Thomas" directed by Shane Acker. I like to thank NorthWester1 on Deviantart for this concept. In the days following the Battle of Britain, Thomas the Tank Engine befriends a young boy named Christopher who longs to reconnect with his father. With the help of his friends, Thomas and Christopher must stand up against a devious diesel and the approaching forces of Nazi Germany to ensure a new era of peace on the Island of Sodor.
