Thomas and friends the great race book

The Great Race is a Golden Book based on the special of the same name. One day, Thomas puffed into Vicarstown when he saw a shiny green engine next to him. Gordon told him that it was his brother, the Flying Scotsman. Scotsman told the two engines that he is going to the Great Railway Show on the Mainland, but he is not sure if any of the engines on Sodor will be going, Thomas was excited, and wanted to go. He later found Sir Topham Hatt and suggested that an engine with streamlining can be part of the Great Railway Show, with the controller saying that it was an excellent idea, and the engine that will be streamlined is Gordon, with Thomas being sad as that was not what he had in mind. The next day, a railway ferry made a delivery to Brendam Docks, with Thomas excited to see the engines appearing out the boat. The Dock Manager asked one of the engines where they are heading off too, with Axel saying they were going to the Great Railway Show. The manager told them that it was not the mainland, so the engines jostled back onto the ferry. But just as that happened, a brightly coloured engine named Ashima bumped into Thomas when trying to get inside the departing ferry, and is dangling off the quay. The dockworkers and Ashima helped pull Thomas back onto the rails. She apologized for what happened, and asked Thomas if there was another way to get to the mainland, but the blue tank engine did not reply back and went away in a huff.
