Bertie, a bus, cheeks Thomas, a train. Proud Thomas challenges Bertie to race to a fixed point regardless that their differing modes of motion require them to take quite different courses. Thomas claims a win. Bertie concedes. Thomas's ego inflates even further. Everyone loses.

Christopher absolutely adores this. And all other things Thomas, at the moment. :)
