The Great Little Engine Show

"Where is that silly little engine with my coaches?"

- Gordon

The Great Little Engine Show is a magazine story illustrated using images from the CGI television series.

Plot
The Fat Controller gets an important phone call and rushes outside to tell Percy that there's going to be a railway show for little engines. He then asks him to take some important items to Ulfstead Castle for the show later that day. Percy is very excited.

As Percy goes about his work, he informs every little engine he meets about the show including the miniature engines of the Arlesdale Railway. News of the show soon spreads far and wide which causes all the little engines to head to Ulfstead Castle. But with all the engines away, no-one is around to do any work. The Blue Mountain Quarry comes to a hault, Bertie has to take Thomas' passengers and there's no-one to fetch the coaches for Gordon or Henry's trains. The Fat Controller soon realises what has happened and asks Gordon to take him to the castle.

At Ulfstead, so many little engines are truing to get into the show that there's a queue a long way down the tracks. Inside the castle grounds, the controllers of the Sodor railways explain that there has been a mix-up; it's actually a show for model engines. The controllers all agree that their engines can be a part of the show, as long as they get their work done first.

The little engines have a great time at the show and the people enjoy seeing real railway engines, too. Percy is even happier when a model of him wins the first prize.
