Gordon's very own book full of his pompous ponderings and some very amusing adventures. Gordon is disgraced when he falls in a ditch, but makes amends by rescuing Thomas before taking charge of a Very Important Train. There is also a story which proves that 'leaves on the line' is the oldest railway excuse of all!
