The computer age has arrived a century ahead of time with Charles Babbage's perfection of his Analytical Engine. The Industrial Revolution, supercharged by the development of steam-driven cybernetic Engines, is in full and drastic swing. Great Britain, with her calculating-cannons, steam dreadnoughts, machine-guns and information technology, prepares to better the world's lot ...
The Little Red Engine is very busy and excited, carrying everyone backwards and forwards to the rocket site. We then see the Big Red Rocket blast off, carrying the very first space passengers.
The Little Red Engine travels down to London at night to be part of the Great Exhibition, where he becomes the children's favourite.
