Looking Splendid!

Looking Splendid! is a magazine story.

Plot
One morning, Gordon and James see Thomas in the yards covered in soot after pulling dirty coal trucks all week and brag about their paintwork. Thomas is cross, but Percy feels sorry for him and tells the Fat Controller about Thomas, who agrees to give Thomas a wash and polish too. When Gordon and James return to Main Station, they are surprised to find Thomas cleaned and decorated with balloons and bunting. The Fat Controller then asks Thomas to take a special train to the Wellsworth Fête. Gordon and James apologise for being unkind and Percy points out that little engines can look just as smart as big engines.
