Intro. Around at this time on Sodor, the main express services were replaced by Pip and Emma, two HST class engines who now do Gordon's job of pulling the express. The mainline has been updated immensely, with goods trains and much more running better and faster than ever, and most of the steam engines are still here, being preserved and happily still around new friends. It's been nearly 55 years since Sodor was first given its greatest hits ever and it's also nearing its anniversary.
