Time to Go Home!

Inspired by Homer's The Odyssey

Oddy Train wanders so far from home that he can't see it anymore — so he sets off on a grand, brave journey to find his way back. Past a meadow of sleepy flowers, a friendly one-eyed giant, and a bridge that sways, he discovers he can roam the whole wide world and still, always, come home.

Oddy Train — a friendly bearded engine in a Greek helmet — rolling along the tracks by the sea, with his hilltop home in the distance.

“You never know what you're going to find when you get lost!”

— Oddy Train
Oddy meets a kind one-eyed rock giant who lights the tunnel that leads toward home.

“You can go, and see, and wander, and you can always, always come home.”

— Mama, at the end of the line
