SUMMARY Christopher Awdry is in many ways responsible for the creation of Thomas and his railway, which started as a story told to him by his father during a bout of measles in 1942 . By the time of his father's death in 1997 , Awdry had added a further 14 books to the series, as well as writing stories for several Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends Annuals . In 2001 Christopher Awdry wrote six stories featured in two books concerning railway safety, which were distributed to every primary school and library in the country. The train operator Virgin Trains produced a colouring book for young passengers based on the stories. A series of six books has been produced featuring locomotives from the Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway , and illustrated by Marc Vyvyan-Jones. Awdry is currently campaigning to have the original series of books reprinted in their original form. WORKS Railway Series Volumes
