"WHEN are we going to York again?" Thomas asked the Fat Controller.

"I'm sorry, Thomas," the Fat Controller said. "They won't have us back at the rail museum any more."

"But what about all those children who queue up to climb up on my footplate?" wailed Thomas.

The Fat Controller shook his head. "They only charge entry when you're there. I just hope they can work out a way to make a modest charge to see you, while leaving the rest of the exhibition free. Otherwise we'll never go back to York."

"Wheesh!" said Thomas indignantly.
