Our love for Thomas and his friends transcends age and borders. Ever since we were little, characters like Stepney, the LBSCR A1X Terrier #55, have filled our imaginations with joy and adventure. So you can imagine our deep sadness, shared by fans globally, when we heard of his withdrawal from service in 2014. We missed the charm and the stories weaved around his experiences and his vast adventures. Seeing Stepney back in steam would not only revitalize this important piece of history but also give fans an opportunity to breathe life back into the enduring story of Stepney's comeback to Sodor. According to the UK's National Railway Museum, over 100,000 train lovers visit annually. This signifies interest and a potential audience for a regained Stepney. We firmly believe that returning Stepney to service can elevate the visitor experience while enriching our shared cultural heritage. Please stand with us and support the steam revival of LBSCR A1X Terrier #55 Stepney, so our generation and the ones after us, can write their own beautiful stories of Stepney's steam-powered adventures. Sign the petition now – let’s bring Stepney back to life and back to Sodor!
