In 1984, Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends was recreated by Britt Allcroft and brought to us through the PBS program Shining Time Station.

Some of the quotes on the following pages come from the 1994 Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends Calendar and information was pulled from the Thomas the Tank Engine Storybook published by Random House. Additional information comes from watching countless hours of Thomas the Tank Engine videos with the whole family.
