Climb aboard for an adventure with Thomas The Tank Engine!
Twice a year, Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends come to visit the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway. On these occasions, Thomas usually waits in the station at the above co-ordinates whilst hundreds of happy children clamber over him and have their photo taken next to him. Thomas is usually pleased to see their smiling faces, but sometimes, he longs to chug down the track carrying carriages of gleeful passengers like the others do. Even Evil Diesel, the dirtiest, naughtiest engine, gets to see more of this railway than Thomas does.
Then one day, Evil Diesel pulled up next to Thomas and sneered “Hey Thomas, have you heard? There’s a new cache been placed along the railway line. Pity you won’t be able to look for it - after all you’ll be stuck on the platform all day. Ha! Ha! Guess I‘ll have no competition for FTF then!”, and off he went, cackling to himself. Thomas’s blue paint almost turned red with rage - he was fed up with that filthy, wicked engine teasing him. “I’ll show him who’s FTF” Thomas thought, and with a “Peep! Peep!” from his whistle, his wheels started turning and the chase was on!
Thomas was determined to beat Diesel to the cache and his little face was set with concentration as he focused on pursuing the dirty engine. Very soon Thomas had Diesel in his sights and with a extra gush of steam, suddenly drew level with him. Diesel was shocked to see Thomas beside him and taunted “So little pipsqueak, you think you can beat me? Don’t you know that diesel wins over coal every time!”. But what Diesel didn’t know was that Thomas had been to the Magic Mountain a few days before and had collected some magic dust from Peter Fonda (see the movie if you don’t believe it!). Thomas took an enormous deep breath and ... puffed the magic dust out of his funnel all over Diesel. Slowly but surely, Diesel began to shrink! “What’s happening to me? You little squirt - what have you done?”. “Ha!” grinned Thomas “I’ve turned you into a TB! You may not be FTF but at least you’ll get to see more caches! Bon Voyage Diesel and good riddance!”
Thomas would now like you to find the cache and take Dirty Diesel away!
