How to Select Thomas the Train Plush Toys

When Rev. Awdry told a story about a train, he had no idea what it would lead to. He was just trying to entertain his son who was ill with measles. He was soon persuaded to write the stories down and then compile them into a book for publication. Thomas the train became a popular TV show for children, spawning many products based on the characters.
