Dear friends of Edward, Gordon, Henry and Thomas,
Thank you for your kind letters.
Here is the new volume for which you asked.
James, who crashed in the story of Thomas the Tank Engine, settles down and becomes a Useful Engine.
We are nationalized now, but the same engines still work the Region.
I am glad, too, to tell you that Sir Topham Hatt - the Fat Director, who understands our friends' ways, is still in charge, but is now the Fat Controller.
I hope you will enjoy this book, too.
