Stories of the NWR Episode 64 - Chapter One

"I can't wait till we go!" shouted James. He was very excited because it was the day that the Steam Team, New Engines, and The Pack get to go to Paris for three weeks.

Gordon scoffed. "Do you have to shout?"

"Gordon," Percy scolded. "Today's a very special day and James is very excited."

Andy, the new engine, chuffed in. He wasn't happy.

"Too much work," he complained. "It's a good thing we only have three weeks of more work to do at that place."

Edward sighed. He gratfully knew it was his job to keep everyone calm, but it was going to be easy.

"I don't have all day, you know!" Percy was waiting impatiently while the narrow gauge engines were going too. They were neatly on several flatbeds.

Duke was upset. He blew an angry cloud of steam.

"Don't get upset Granpuff!" said Peter Sam cheerfully. "He's just impatient, that's all."

Duke smiled. "I know Peter Sam, but sometimes, engines like this must be patient like the old days when you were impatient too."
