I've been working on a spin off series of Thomas the tank engine. The book is going to be called 'Thomas' Adventures Abroad' The first book I am writing is 'Thomas the Tank Engine's Adventures in Austrailia and America'. I've written the first Chapter.
Thomas the Tank Engine’s adventures in America and Australia
Chapter 1, Arrival at America.
By Calum Price
Thomas is a tank engine, He has six small wheels, a bunker,a funnel, and a round dome. He lives on the island of Sodor with his friends.All of his friends are given numbers. Thomas is Number 1. He is probably a teenager in human years, but we don’t really know when he was built. As well as tank engines, there are tender engines. The oldest of the tender engines is not Gordon, or Emily for that matter, but Edward! Edward is probably 65 years old in human years. Elderly, but still going strong.
Now, one day, Thomas was feeling tired. He had been working very hard and he needed a change in scene. ‘I need a holiday’ He thought as he went to bed. ‘I wish I could go somewhere around the world.’ Well, that wish came true. Sir Topham Hatt came to see Thomas. ‘Thomas!’ he said, ‘Would you like to go on holiday abroad?’ ‘Oh yes please!’ said Thomas, who was happy that his wish came true. The Fat Controller continued ‘There are famous railways in Australia and America. Which one would you like to travel to?’ ‘Can I go to both?’ Thomas asked. The Fat Controller agreed. The next day, Every engine, including the narrow gauge locomotives were at the docks, ready to say goodbyeto Thomas. Percy was sad to see Thomas go. But Edward and Arthur comforted him.‘Don’t worry Percy, He won’t be there for ever! They said. At last the ship had taken Thomas on board. It set sail for America. Thomas arrived safely at the docks. Two engines were there. They were Italian tank engines, with a wheel configuration of 2-8-2T. They introduced themselves. ‘Hello! Welcome to America, Thomas.’ Thomas was surprised! ‘How do you know my name?’ he asked.‘Our drivers have been reading about your adventures!’ They replied. ‘What are your names?’ asked Thomas. ‘I am Marco’ said the first. ‘And I am Polo’ said the second’ ‘We’ve been fitted with Gresley A3 engines!’ Thomas remembered the time when Gordon’s brother, The Flying scotsman visited the island of sodor.They continued ‘We’ve also been given a bigger coal and water capacity, perfect for mixed jobs!’ Just then, Hank arrived. He was surprised! ‘Thomas! I haven’t seen you for a long time. This is a treat!’ he said excitedly. The engines went to the shed. Where they exchanged adventures and mishaps. I would have told you, but that is in the next chapter.
Well, What do you think?
Arrgh, having probems with spacing!
