The Twelve Steam Team

The Twelve Steam Team is an upcoming special for Thomas and Friends.

Description
Thomas sees that the Fat Controller came to Tidmouth Sheds who tells the engines that he and the Steam Team are going to the big city station whilst the visiting engines are coming to visit Sodor to do their their work while they're away. But Thomas is afraid that it might be only him, James, Percy, Edward, Henry, Gordon, Emily and Toby. He remembers that it was originally only him, Percy, Toby, Edward, Duck, Gordon, James and Henry when they were away, many years ago. Then, he's making a decision to get Duck, Oliver, Donald and Douglas and make them the part of the Steam Team. Finally, his plans worked, and that will make twelve of them.
