THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE
A real children's favourite is Thomas the Tank Engine It is a British children's television series, first broadcast on the ITV network in September 1984.
It is based on The Railway Series of books by the Reverend Wilbert. V. Awdry. The books were based on stories Wilber Awdry told to entertain his son Christopher during his recovery from measles. Many of the stories are based on events from Awdry's personal experience. These books deal with the adventures of a group of anthropomorphised trains and road vehicles that live on the fictional Island of Sodor.
The series has featured storytellers like: Ringo Starr (1984-1986), Michael Angelis (1991-present), George Carlin (1991-1995), Alec Baldwin (1998-2002), Michael Brandon (2003-present), and Pierce Brosnan (Guest Narrator).
Heritage railways have also benefited from the series. "Day out with Thomas" events, in which passengers are given the chance to ride in full-size coaches pulled by locomotives resembling Thomas or his friends, provide a considerable source of income, and attract those who might not otherwise visit the railway.
