James and the Express and Other Stories

James and the Express and other stories (known as Troublesome Trucks and Other Stories in Australia) is a New Zealand VHS featuring eight first season episodes narrated by Ringo Starr.

Description
It's full steam ahead again, for Thomas the little blue engine and his many friends. Their friend and storyteller, Ringo Starr, doesn't have time for even a whistle stop between each exciting adventure. What hardworking engines they are, but there is still time for fishing. Mind you, Thomas catches more than he bargains for. Thomas and his friends cope with the trials of troublesome trucks. They take part in races and a snow rescue. They meet new friends and help old ones. But it isn't all easy riding. There is trouble in the yard. The big engines hold an "indignation meeting" and take a drastic step.
