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.

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.

You can only push someone so far to till they break.
