Christopher subsequently added further books to the series.

Ahh, if only this character growth could return in other books/episodes... why yes, I did source a bunch of vintage Thomas & Friends books so kiddo's collection could be completed. :P Merry Christmas to me! I mean, to him. To the toddler.
