Thomas & Friends: Calling All Engines - Retake
This is a rewrite of a childhood favourite of mine that's not very popular but still holds nostalgic value, at least to me.

When Sir Topham Hatt announces the building of a new airport on Sodor, old rivalries between steam engines and diesels rapidly resurface. A trick by Thomas backfires badly and soon the future of the Island and Sir Topham Hatt's railway is in jeopardy. Can Thomas persuade the diesels and steam engines to settle their differences and save their Island and their home? Includes Roll Along Thomas' Karaoke sessions of original songs written for the special by Ed Welch, including the cut "Dream Song" and the "Engine Roll Call".Complete
