More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's over fifty years since the publication of the first Railway Series stories by the Rev. W. Awdry. To celebrate, the publishers have reissued them in six special books, each containing four famous tales of Thomas and his friends. Larger and chunkier than the originals, these books feature all the original text and illustrations and are redesigned in a way that makes every spread unique. Easier to hold and look at, this format is ideal for parents and children to share together.
Contained in this volume: "James and the Top-Hat", "James and the Boot- lace", "Troublesome Trucks", "James and the Express". (Ages 3 and over) -- Philippa Reece
Product Description
A redesigned collection of four stories featuring Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. In the RAILWAY series. Illustrated in full colour.

Nice new edition, shame about the artwork,
By Alex Ford (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James the Red Engine (Railway) (Hardcover)
All the stories that I loved as a child are now being enjoyed by my two daughters. But - and it is quite a big but - the publishers have mangled the original artwork in producing these new editions. Most of the images have been cropped and many of them have been resized, in some cases blown up well beyond the resolution of the originals. Some images are blurred, and in quite a few places details from the stories have been lost. A shame.
Perhaps the publishers could now release the rest of the original books, in their original format?

James the Really Useful Red Engine,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James the Red Engine (Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) (Hardcover)
James, who crashed in the last story of Thomas the tank engine, settles down and becomes a very useful engine. He has 4 stories all to his self, James and the Top-hat, James and the Bootlace, Troublesome trucks and James and the Express. In the first story, he and Edward double head a passenger train in which James gets too excited for his own good at the big station and ruins Sir Topham Hatt's Top Hat. Then, he takes some coaches out after being given into trouble by Sir Topham Hatt, who threatens to take away his red coat and have him painted blue. He bangs the coaches so badly that he causes a leak in the pipe which is repaired by, of all things, a passenger's bootlace. He is sent to the shed in disgrace and left there to think about what he's done. But one day, Sir Topham Hatt comes to see him and tells him to pull some trucks for him and in the end keeps his red coat. In the last story, after being teased by Gordon, he pulls the Express and gives the big engine a showing up by proving that he is not the only engine who can pull the Express after all.

Used, not in great condition. No sound,
By Martha - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: James the Red Engine (Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) (Board book)
I bought this book "used, in good condition" on Amazon from the seller. There is a sound function (I guess you're supposed to be able to press the nose and hear a sound) this doesn't work. I am disappointed and so is my son.
