A big rainstorm has hit the Island of Sodor. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hits a tree, and it crashes onto the station house! James, Henry, and Percy are sent to get supplies to mend the roof, but when the three engines don't return, Thomas proves just what a very useful engine he "really" is. Beautifully illustrated, this 48-page hardcover with cloth spine is a charming, classic story that children and Thomas fans will treasure!
