Thomas and the Tree

Thomas and the Tree is a magazine story.

Plot
It is the morning of Christmas Eve and a snow storm has hit Sodor. Thomas is on his way to collect Gordon's coaches when he sees that the big station is all decorated for the holidays, including a Christmas Tree outside the Stationmaster's office, which makes Thomas wish the sheds could have their own tree too.

Gordon soon leaves the station and time passes by. Thomas is getting ready to take his branch line train when The Fat Controller informs him that a tree has fallen across the main line and he must help clear it. They soon encounter Gordon blocked by the tree and rope is attached to it and Thomas' buffers. The line is soon cleared and Gordon and his passengers thank Thomas.

Thomas returns to the station and tells Annie and Clarabel what happened. Upon returning to the shed that evening, Thomas is surprised to see his wish was granted; the fallen tree has been put up and decorated near the shed!
