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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
In this story James, who has been given a shining new coat of red paint to cheer him up after his accident, gets hiccoughs, needs a bootlace, has trouble with his trucks and pulls the Express after Gordon loses his way.

Format: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
29 April 2000
Format: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
21 Jan 2011
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
