After the twenty sixth book in the Railway Series, Tramway Engines, the Rev. Awdry couldn't handle the task of writing any more books. So, his son Christopher took up the challenge! His first book, Really Useful Engines, made him well known and his later books helped grow his popularity. I found his stories interesting. Pip and Emma was a good creation in my opinion and he managed to bring back the Small Railway engines. However, some of his stories have rather unrealistic happenings in them. In the Jock the Small Engine book, one story had a train stay together with paper mache? Despite some strange happenings, Christopher produced some great stories that would have made his father proud.
