Book details
Thomas and Victoria (Railway)
Description
With four new stories and Clive Spong's stunning illustrations of Thomas and the new vintage coach, Victoria, this book is a must have for all fans. Toby and Henrietta are overcrowded carrying the workmen from the Quarry. The Fat Controller and the Quarry Manager don't know what to do, but Thomas finds the perfect solution when he meets Victoria - a lovely, old carriage. While Victoria is being renovated, Daisy discovers that she doesn't like snakes very much when a whole boxful of eels escape on to the platform! And once finished, Victoria, Toby and Henrietta become Sodor's Vintage Train.
