## Episode Descriptions

1. Granpuff - Thomas tells his friends the story about an old narrow gauge engine named Duke, and how he became known as Granpuff.
2. Sleeping Beauty - Years go by, and soon a group of visitors begin a journey to find Duke and reunite him with Stuart and Falcon, who are now known as Peter Sam and Sir Handel.
3. Bulldog - Percy hears a story about how Duke rescues an impatient Falcon from trouble on the Mountain Road.
4. You Can't Win - After Duke becomes ill and gets teased about his age, he plays a trick on Stuart by putting all his effort into pulling a passenger train by himself.
5. Four Little Engines - Sir Handel is pushed off the rails by some angry coaches. A red narrow gauge engine named Skarloey is the only engine available and is determined to get his passengers home, even when one of his front springs breaks.
6. A Bad Day for Sir Handel - Sir Handel and Peter Sam are brought in to help Skarloey and his best friend, Rheneas. Sir Handel is in a bad mood and deliberately derails himself on purpose to get out of work.
7. Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady - One day, Henry threatens to leave without Peter Sam's passengers. In a haste to meet his connection, Peter Sam accidentally leaves the Refreshment Lady behind.
8. Trucks! - Gordon advises Sir Handel to get out of work by pretending to be ill, leaving Peter Sam and a little narrow gauge diesel named Rusty to take over. However, some trucks mistake Peter Sam for Sir Handel and crash into him at the incline.
9. Home at Last - Peter Sam informs Skarloey of the newest arrival, a careless and bad-tempered engine named Duncan. Soon, Skarloey is sent to Duncan's aid when he is stuck under a decrepit tunnel.
10. Rock 'n' Roll - Rusty is concerned about Duncan, who ignores his warning about a broken section of track. After Duncan derails, Rusty grudgingly comes to the rescue.
11. Special Funnel - Peter Sam's funnel is knocked off by an icicle and is temporarily replaced by a drainpipe. However, Peter Sam gives the other engines a run for their money once his new funnel arrives.
12. Steam Roller - Skarloey tells Sir Handel of an anti-railway steamroller named George, whom Sir Handel vows to pay out, only to find that both he and George are too evenly hot-headed.
13. Passengers and Polish - Duncan complains about not getting polished. His rudeness reaches its peak when he stops on the viaduct and refuses to move.
14. Gallant Old Engine - Duncan hears the story of how Rheneas saved the railway from closure, even after suffering a serious breakdown, and Rheneas returns to the railway.
15. Rusty to the Rescue - When Rusty hears that an engine is needed to help run the Bluebell Railway, he ventures out to find one and meets a steam engine named Stepney.
16. Thomas and Stepney - Stepney has been invited to visit the Fat Controller's railway. Thomas is jealous when the visiting engine is talked about more than he is and is shunted for Stepney to pass with a special train that night.
17. Train Stops Play - Stepney does not realise that a cricket ball has landed in one of his trucks. Caroline the Car sets off with the players in pursuit of Stepney along the branch line.
18. Bowled Out - A stuck-up diesel insults the engines and makes a fool of himself when he sucks an inspector's bowler hat through his air-intake vent. Duck and Stepney volunteer in taking his train.
19. Henry and the Elephant - A circus comes to Sodor, but Henry and some workmen are called to investigate a blockage in his tunnel, where he unhappily comes across an elephant.
20. Toad Stands By - Toad advises Oliver on how to regain the trucks' respect. Oliver struggles to pull a goods train, but he is so determined that he accidentally pulls S.C. Ruffey apart.
21. Bulls Eyes - Daisy claims to Toby that she would simply have to "toot" to scare animals off. However, when she comes across a bull, she realises that it will need more than a command to move it away.
22. Thomas and the Special Letter - After the Fat Controller reads a letter inviting the engines to visit the Mainland, Thomas becomes very conceited and puts his big trip in jeopardy after crashing through a set of buffers and into a brick wall.
23. Paint Pots and Queens - After the accidents of ditches and mines, the Queen comes to Sodor, giving Gordon and Thomas a special opportunity.
24. Fish - Duck is sent to help Henry with the Flying Kipper, but a badly-attached tail lamp causes a dreadful accident.
25. Special Attraction - After Toby's missed opportunity to join a parade, Percy is called to the harbour to deal with Bulstrode, a highly disagreeable barge. Bulstrode makes the trucks more troublesome than usual, though he pays dearly for it.
26. Mind that Bike - Tom Tipper, a postal worker, is unhappy when his post van is replaced by a bicycle. Percy manages to help him out, but not in the way he intended.
