Before we begin our stories, I would like to begin with a few acknowledgements as thanks:
•To the Rev. W. Awdry for creating The Railway Series, without which this story, and the Thomas community in general, would have never existed.
•To the photographers responsible for the pictures you see on the cover of both the book and chapters, and the websites they were discovered on.
•To YouTube users ButterflyCoffee, WildNorWester, Victor Tanzig, Angry Welshman Productions, Dark DJ Productions, and many others. You were a massive inspiration for me to make this book, and I cannot thank you enough.
•To you, dear reader, for deciding to give these stories a chance.
•And to my best friends, Mel and Ash, around whom I am never afraid to be myself.
I, Mr. Johnson, and the engines of Beckington Colliery humbly thank you, and we wish you all dry rails and smooth running.
