In 1983 Christopher Awdry wrote his first Thomas book, Really Useful Engines. In 1979, seven years after the Reverend Awdry wrote his last Thomas book, sale of the television rights to the stories led to the hit series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. A successful series of books followed.Īwdry joined the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society in 1951 and his experiences as a volunteer on the line inspired a number of books about the Skarloey Railway. They were published in 1945 as The Three Railway Engines, and were followed by Thomas the Tank Engine in 1946. Stories about Thomas the Tank Engine and friends began in 1943 when railway enthusiast the Reverend Wilbert Awdry created tales for his three year old son Christopher, who was recovering from measles. Mae Christopher a’i deulu hefyd yn gweithio ar reilffordd Talyllyn ac ym 1996 daeth yn Llywydd y Gymdeithas. Ym 1983 ysgrifennodd Christopher Awdry ei lyfr cyntaf am Tomos, Really Useful Engines. Ym 1979, saith mlynedd ar ôl i’r Parchedig Awdry ysgrifennu ei lyfr olaf am Tomos, gwerthwyd hawliau teledu y straeon a chafwyd y gyfres lwyddiannus Tomos y Tanc a’i Ffrindiau. Ymunodd Awdry â Chymdeithas Cadw Rheilffordd Talyllyn ym 1951 ac fe ysbrydolodd ei brofiadau fel gwirfoddolwr ar y rheilffordd nifer o lyfrau am Reilffordd Skarloey. Dilynwyd y rhain gan gyfres lwyddiannus o lyfrau. Cafodd y straeon eu cyhoeddi ym 1945, a’u cyfieithu ym 1950 dan y teitl Y Tri Injan Tren, ac fe’u dilynwyd gan Tomos y Tanc (yn Saesneg i ddechrau) ym 1946. Y Dyn a Greodd ‘Tomos’ĭechreuodd y straeon am Tomos y Tanc a’i ffrindiau ym 1943 pan greodd y Parchedig Wilbert Awdry, oedd yn frwdfrydig iawn am reilffyrdd, straeon i’w fab tair blwydd oed Christopher, oedd yn gwella o’r frech goch.
