What is Four little engines about?
On the Skarloey Railway, four little engines—Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel and Peter Sam—work hard on the mountain line. Each engine has a different character, and pride, impatience and unexpected problems soon cause trouble. From difficult journeys to tricky railway jobs, the engines must learn to co-operate and rely on one another. With lively action, gentle humour and memorable railway adventures, this classic collection shows how courage, teamwork and determination help the engines keep Sodor’s narrow-gauge railway running.
