Perfect Picture!

"It's just like a Roman mosaic." "And there weren't any steam trains in those days so I will be the only one!"

- Emily

Perfect Picture! is a magazine story.

Plot
Some people from the Sodor Museum had found the remains of an old Roman house next to a railway. One day, as Emily was being coupled to some carriages at the Main Station, she sees Lorry 1 arrive with a load of bricks and cement. Builders unload the lorry whilst the Fat Controller and Emily watch them. The Fat Controller tells Emily that an old broken fence behind the station car park is to be taken down and replaces with a wall and Emily set off for the school; she was to take some children to see the Roman remains. At the site, Emily could see the remains of the colourful patterned floor called a mosaic. The pattern was shaped like a dog. Day after day, Emily watched the wall at the station being built and soon it was finished. The Fat Controller suggests that they paint it, but Emily has another idea; she thinks they should have a pattern on it, much like the Roman mosaic floor. So the Fat Controller rings a friend who happens to be an artist who is pleased to do such a special job. When it was finished, Emily brought it to the station so that it could be put onto the wall. It turns out to be a pattern of Emily made out of tiny tiles and coloured glass.
