## Episode Descriptions

1. Thomas and Gordon - Thomas enjoys teasing a bigger engine named Gordon, but when his cheekiness goes too far, Gordon decides to teach Thomas a lesson.
2. Edward and Gordon - A small engine named Edward feels sad, which makes the crew feel sorry for him and take him out one day. Then he gets to help Gordon when he ends up stuck on a hill.
3. The Sad Story of Henry - A big, green tender engine named Henry believes the rain will spoil his paintwork and he runs into a tunnel, in which he is eventually bricked up due to his refusal to puff out.
4. Edward, Gordon and Henry - Gordon goes too fast and bursts a safety valve right in front of the tunnel. Henry is let out of the tunnel to help Edward pull the express.
5. Thomas' Train - Thomas wishes he could pull a train. When Henry is ill, his chance comes with unexpected results.
6. Thomas and the Trucks - Thomas and Edward agree to swap jobs. However, Edward's train consists of Troublesome Trucks, which love to play tricks.
7. Thomas and the Breakdown Train - When a new engine called James comes off the rails, Thomas quickly comes to the rescue with the Breakdown Train, and the Fat Controller gives him a branch line as a reward.
8. James and the Coaches - James wets the Fat Controller's new top hat with steam and then bumps his coaches so hard that one of their brakes fail.
9. Troublesome Trucks - James has been confined to the shed but is released to pull trucks. The trucks misbehave, but James does not give up.
10. James and the Express - When Gordon is switched the wrong way and gets lost, James is given the Express.
11. Thomas and the Guard - Thomas' impatience leads to him forgetting his guard, much to his coaches, Annie and Clarabel's disappointment.
12. Thomas Goes Fishing - Thomas wants to go fishing, but he learns the hard way when he takes on river water.
13. Thomas, Terence and the Snow - Thomas meets Terence the Tractor and says his caterpillar tracks are ugly. However, Thomas is shown just how useful they are when he crashes into a snowdrift.
14. Thomas and Bertie - Thomas meets Bertie the Bus who challenges him to a race.
15. Tenders and Turntables - Ever since Thomas got his own branch line, the big engines have to shunt their own coaches. Then Gordon and James get into trouble on the turntable.
16. Trouble in the Shed - The big engines go on strike, so the Fat Controller buys a new tank engine called Percy to help.
17. Percy Runs Away - Percy forgets to whistle to the signalman so he could go on the main line and is so startled by Gordon that he runs away.
18. Coal - Henry is not feeling well. The Fat Controller comes to a conclusion that Henry needs special Welsh coal to make steam.
19. The Flying Kipper - Henry is chosen to pull the "Flying Kipper". However, ice jams the points and snow forces down a signal, leading Henry to crash.
20. Whistles and Sneezes - Gordon's whistle jams and he cannot stop whistling, and Henry sneezes at some trouble-making boys.
21. Toby and the Stout Gentleman - A steam tram engine named Toby and his coach Henrietta meet the Fat Controller and his family on their holiday, but their line slowly closes down.
22. Thomas in Trouble - Thomas gets in trouble with a policeman. When the Fat Controller hears about it, he buys Toby and Henrietta.
23. Dirty Objects - Toby and Henrietta often get teased by James about their old-fashioned appearance. However, James crashes into some tar tanker trucks.
24. Off the Rails - Gordon decides to jam the turntable to avoid taking a special train of trucks, but his attempt makes him slide into a ditch.
25. Down the Mine - Thomas goes to a lead mine to collect some trucks, but foolishly passes a danger board and falls down a mine and needs Gordon's help.
26. Thomas' Christmas Party - Thomas wants to hold a special Christmas party for Mrs. Kyndley. Unfortunately, Mrs. Kyndley's house is snowed in, so he must assist Toby and Terence to help clear the snow.
