Thomas-saurus Rex

Thomas-saurus Rex is a book.

Plot
Thomas hears Gordon and James talking about Stepney and his "old load". The big engines think they are too important to pull it. Later, Percy asks Thomas if he knows what Stepney is bringing. Thomas tries to lower his voice so that Gordon and James will not laugh at them. Thomas likes Stepney, and he likes the story of when Sir Topham Hatt and Grandfather Hatt got dirty when they rode in Stepney's truck full of coal because the carriage's axle broke. Stepney asks Thomas what he thinks of his load. Thomas does not want to hurt Stepney's feelings, so he says it looks old. Gordon, James and Sir Topham Hatt then arrive. Sir Topham Hatt asks if anyone will volunteer to help Stepney up the hill, so he can deliver the load to Tidmouth. Gordon and James do not want to help, so Thomas volunteers, and as they leave Sir Topham Hatt gives Gordon a stern look. When they arrive the children are amazed at what Thomas and Stepney have brought - a dinosaur skeleton.
