Thomas on 19th August 2001 at Ropley Photo: Kyoichi Oda
	From Thomas's footplate on16th April 2001 the Troublesome Trucks at Ropley are alongside James' service train. A light wind has whipped James's smoke into swirls, misting his face. Thomas raced James to Bighton Hill Bridge, and later beat Diesel in a Tug-o-War, helped by encouraging cheers from the children.

(A naughty Thomas driver cheated by squirting water over the rails under Diesel so his wheels would spin!)
