Full image fanart illustration of the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends franchise story Golden Jubilee from the Railway Series book 'Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines.' Two parallel straight railway tracks stretch out of towards the viewer's left with the sun rising on the horizon. A medium dark blue steam locomotive with red stripes, a red chassis and black smokebox, buffers, smokestack, and cab roof with a matching tender named Edward, who's numbered with a yellow 2 outlined in red on his tender, travels to the right (viewer left) coming directly at the viewer from a low angle with a very elated expression. He's running light - meaning no rolling stock behind him. He has three headlamps on his front buffer beam - one left, one right one in the middle - as well as one atop his smokebox (head), indicating he's a royal service train. Coming behind him on the adjacent track looks at Edward with a grinning expression looking at him with admiration is a yellow and blue high speed diesel locomotive named Phillipa (or Pip) with matching blue passenger coaches with a white stripe where the windows are trail behind. Pip's lights are also shining behind Edward. Edward has matching blue irises and Pip has teal colored irises. Smoke swirls out of Edward's stack against the matching dark orange, yellow and deep purple sunrise sky. Also in the background are 'chibi-ized' versions of Thomas the Tank Engine (who is also cerulean blue like Edward) with a cheeky expression, Percy the Small Engine (who is bright green) with a laughing expression, and Toby the Tram Engine (who is square and wooden brow), Mavis the Quarry Diesel (who is black with yellow hazard stripes on her front), and Daisy the Diesel Railcar (who is dark green), whom all have content expressions.
