Based on The Railway Series of books by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry follows the adventures of Thomas and his Friends round the fictional Island of Sodor. There are 453 episodes 8 specials and 1 feature film to date.
What amazed me about the Island of Sodor was how industrious it was.
For all the size of it, it had docks & shipyards and an airport, a lumber yard, a steel mill, coal mines, a hospital and enough trains to cover North & Central America.
All was missing was the stock exchange and a KFC.
