## The Fat Controller's Letter

My Dear Friends,

Welcome to "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends' Biggest Party Video Ever!".

As a Distinguished Gentleman of Sodor Railways, it has been my privilege to prepare this Really Useful collection of stories featuring Thomas, Percy, James and other members of my engine family.

Celebrations are often the order of the day on this beautiful Island, and I always look forward to such rejoicings, particularly the mouth-watering party food prepared by Mrs. Kyndley and capers thought up by my Drivers.

'Pon my soul, perhaps you would like to hear about some of these first class recipes, party games and decoration ideas? Then look no further than the Really Useful Party Poster, attacted to the video sleeve inside.

So don't be as miserable as a steam engine rusting in a scrap yard - come join the fun with Thomas and his Friends!

With best wheeeeeeshes from all at Sodor Railways.

Sir Topham Hatt,

The Fat Controller
