Here's what I was thinking for 17-20:

On Wednesday, Thomas has to go to the steamworks for a new coat of paint. While there, he and his driver see 17 spare wheels on some flatbeds. So his driver decides to add that to the book, and Thomas also suggests adding Kelly to it since he's number 17 in the pack.

On Thursday, Thomas takes the kids to the dairy, where they see 18 milk churns. Then they go the Farmer McColl's farm and see 18 bales of straw. So they add the milk churns and the bales of straw to the book as 18. They also add Byron the Bulldozer since he's number 18 in the pack.

On Friday, Sir Topham Hatt has to go to the clay pits for a meeting with the clay pits manager. While there, he notices that there are 19 workmen working at the clay pits. So later, he tells his grandchildren, who add 19 workmen to the book. They also add Ned the Steam Shovel since he's number 19 in the pack.

On Saturday, Thomas is asked to help out at the Blue Mountain Quarry. As he's shunting his trucks over to Owen's platform, he counts all the empty narrow gauge trucks there. He sees that there are 20 empty trucks, and asks his driver to add that to the book, which his driver agrees to do.

As I said before, please credit me if you use these parts of the plot.
