Thomas' everlasting presence

There are days when I think the trains are becoming less a part of Charley's world, and then out they come again.  I might as well accept that the Island of Sodor is a permanent extension of my world.  Like, forever.

 Sometimes Sam cannot stand to hear Thomas' name again.  That's when we call him "Cranky the Crane".

Blissed out kid, too busy to look up for a photo.  He is, after all, a very useful and reliable engineer.
