July 24 - 26th 1985 - Welcoming To The Germans

The year is 1985.

My name is Bob. Driver of Thomas-the NWR No.1 tank engine. People know the name from the books, the shows. But behind the pages, behind the bright colours, it's different. I've been driving Thomas for seven years now. I used to live in London, before Sodor called me in. Ted, Thomas's fireman, joined me five years back. Ex-military. He used to fire for Henry during the old war days. Tough as nails, but if you give him a pastry, he goes soft like a sponge cake
