### *Edward’s Day Out:*

The big engines are teasing Edward that he will not be allowed out because he is too weak, but when the driver sees him upset he offers to take him out. Edward goes to get some coaches, and, after a few moments of panic waiting for the guard, they start off and Edward has an enjoyable day.

### Edward and Gordon:

Gordon is bragging about pulling the express, but while Edward is shunting Gordon comes past with a long goods train. Gordon deliberately stalls at a hill and Edward comes as a "banker". At the top of the hill, Gordon races ahead, and Edward gets puffed out but is pleased with the prospect of a new coat of paint.

### The Sad Story of Henry:

One rainy day, Henry stops in a tunnel and refuses to move. His crew, the passengers, another engine and even the Fat Director try to get him to move, but to no avail. Eventually, they have him bricked up, and they bore a new tunnel.

### Edward, Gordon & Henry:

Gordon is pulling the Express when he bursts his safety valve outside Henry's Tunnel. Edward tries to pull the train, but cannot. The Fat Director lets Henry out of the tunnel so that he and Edward can pull the train. They later help Gordon home, and Henry is rewarded with a new blue coat.

### Thomas and Gordon:

Thomas is a little blue tank engine who acts as the station pilot and takes pleasure in surprising Gordon. Gordon, furious, wonders how to pay Thomas out. Next day, Thomas is late and forgets to get uncoupled after shunting Gordon's coaches. Gordon takes Thomas on a wild high-speed journey across Sodor. Thomas later resolves to never tease Gordon again.

### Thomas' Train:

Henry is ill and Thomas is the only one available to take his train. Thomas, impatient, leaves too early and only stops when a signalman points out he is missing his coaches. Thomas goes back and is able to take the train that time, but is teased by the others for a long time afterwards.

### Thomas and the Trucks:

Thomas wants to see the world, but no one takes notice until Edward offers him to pull his train the next day. Thomas is excited but careless and the trucks push him down Gordon's Hill. Thomas manages to stop in time and the Fat Director tells him to start shunting trucks at Wellsworth.

### Thomas and the Breakdown Train:

Thomas is shunting when some trucks push James across the Island and into a field. Thomas comes to his rescue with the Breakdown Train and is rewarded with two coaches and his own branch line.

### James and the Top-Hat:

James has recovered from his accident and now has a new coat of red paint. He starts learning how to pull passenger trains with Edward. At the platform, he accidentally showers water over the Fat Controller's new top-hat and then, afraid of the consequences, starts off suddenly. During the run, he almost forgets to drop off his passengers and to top everything off he disturbs an old lady with his hiccups after hearing about the time Edward had to help Gordon up the hill. That night, James is scared of what the Fat Controller will say.

### Henry and the Elephant:

After Thomas goes to run his Branch Line, the bigger engines are now obliged to fetch their own coaches, much to their disapproval. A circus comes to town, and shunting the special trucks helps cheer up Gordon and Henry, at least until James is chosen to pull the circus' train. Later, Henry is called out to clear a blockage in a tunnel on the main line, but when he goes in, the block pushes him back out! It turns out to be an elephant missing from the circus. The workmen calm the elephant by feeding it some sandwiches, cake and lots of water, but Henry surprises it by letting off steam and gets sprayed with water. Eventually the elephant is led away, but Henry continues to grumble over being made to look silly.

### Tenders and Turntables:

Gordon is in a bad mood and when he goes to be turned around for his next train he unbalances the turntable and has to take the train backwards, leading to passengers laughing at him. Thomas and James tease him too, but later, James is spun around by the wind on the turntable, making him dizzy. The big engines, with their recent embarrassments combined with their anger over having to fetch their own coaches, have had enough and make a plan.

### Trouble in the Shed:

The big engines go on strike by refusing to get their coaches, so Edward shunts for them. Edward's strike-breaking is met with hostility, prompting the Fat Controller to buy a saddle tank engine, which he christens Percy. Despite his attempts to accommodate them, the big engines still misbehave, so he shuts them up in the sheds and brings Thomas to temporarily work with Edward on the main line, while Percy runs Thomas' Branch Line.

### Percy Runs Away:

After several days in the shed, the big engines finally see sense and agree to work again, so the Fat Controller lets Thomas, Edward and Percy work together on the Branch Line. Thomas takes Annie and Clarabel for a run and Edward takes some trucks to the quarry, leaving Percy alone. He strays onto the points while forgetting Edward's advice to whistle to the signalman to inform him where he is, and Gordon frightens him when he rushes into the junction. Percy flees backwards, and eventually, exhausted, runs into a sandbank. Gordon later commends him for preventing an accident and Percy becomes the new station pilot at Tidmouth.

### The Flying Kipper:

It is Henry's turn to take The Flying Kipper, a special train that takes fish from the harbour into town. Henry makes good time, but accidentally gets diverted into a siding and crashes into another train, leaving him badly damaged. After the crash, Henry is sent away to Crewe to be rebuilt and comes back feeling better than ever, no longer needing special coal.

### Gordon's Whistle/Henry's Sneeze:

Gordon is jealous that Henry now gets to pull the Express and complains that Henry whistles too much. Shortly after, while Gordon is pulling a train, his whistle jams and keeps emitting a loud drone which sends many people into a panic. Gordon leaves his train behind and two fitters knock his whistle valve into place, silencing the noise. That night, Henry teases Gordon about his mishap. Henry is enjoying himself in the countryside when some silly boys drop stones on him from a bridge, breaking the coaches' windows and hitting his fireman on the head. His driver devises a plan to get back at them, and the next time they pass the bridge, Henry sprays soot and ashes all over the boys. Although Henry has never sneezed again, there have been no more boys with stones.

### Toby and the Stout Gentleman:

Toby is a tram engine who works a tramway with two coaches named Henrietta and Hannah. One day, a stout gentleman and his grandchildren notice Toby. Although Toby is offended when Cynthia, the stout gentleman's granddaughter, calls him "electric", he cheers up after giving them a ride and the stout gentleman thanks Toby. The family comes for a fortnight, then leave. Months pass, and Toby's tramway closes down. But, next morning, Toby is awoken to a surprise when his crew receive a letter from the stout gentleman.

### *Thomas in Trouble:*

Thomas is bringing some trucks down from the quarry when he surprises a policeman, who tells him he is breaking the law by going across a public road without cow-catchers and side-plates. Thomas is upset, and the Fat Controller has to leave his breakfast to talk to the policeman, who tells him he cannot change the law. A comment by Thomas makes the Fat Controller remember his holiday, and a certain tram engine. A few days later, Toby arrives to help at the quarry, and after he scares the policeman he and Thomas become friends.

### Dirty Objects:

James makes fun of Toby and Henrietta for having shabby paint. When Toby makes a snide comment about bootlaces, James huffs off to get a "slow goods" train. He bumps the trucks so badly they are determined to pay him back. As he goes over Gordon's Hill, the trucks push him down into two tar tankers standing in the yard and Toby and Percy come to his aid. The Fat Controller congratulates Toby and Percy for their work, and promises Toby and Henrietta a new coat of paint.

### *Mrs. Kyndley's Christmas:*

Mrs. Kyndley is an old lady who lives in a cottage near the line. Although she waves to Thomas every day as he passes, she falls ill and no longer has the energy to wave. One rainy December morning, Thomas makes his way up to Ffarquhar when a dressing-gown waving from Mrs. Kyndley's window stops him. While the driver and a doctor go to see what the matter is, the fireman discovers that the gown was used to warn them about a landslide. The next day, Thomas, Toby, Henrietta, Annie, Clarabel and the Fat Controller go to the cottage to thank her. The Fat Controller offers her tickets to Bournemouth, where she recovers from her illness.

### Thomas' Christmas Party:

It is Christmas time on the Island of Sodor and Thomas and Toby are very busy carrying people and parcels along the branch line. Despite Annie and Clarabel complaining that they are overloaded, Thomas retains his festive spirit.

Near his branch line is a little cottage. This is the home of an older woman named Mrs. Kyndley. Thomas always whistles "Happy Christmas!" to her and agrees that Christmas would not be the same without her.

At the sheds, all the engines have been polished but Thomas does not mind and tells them he wants to throw Mrs. Kyndley a party to thank her for saving him from a landslide the year before. When she was ill in bed, she waved her red dressing gown out the window to warn Thomas and the Fat Controller sent her to Bournemouth to get better as a reward.

All the engines agree that a party is a great idea and hope that the Fat Controller agrees as well. He does, but on the day of the party, there is a heavy snowfall, trapping Mrs. Kyndley in her house. Thomas bravely puts on his snowplough and sets off with Toby to rescue her and soon, they arrive at the cottage which is covered in snow. Thomas whistles to Mrs. Kyndley to tell her they have arrived when suddenly, Terence arrives with his snowplough to help clear a path from the cottage to the railway. Once everything is cleared away, Percy takes the workmen home and Terence stays behind to look after Mrs. Kyndley's cottage.

Thomas and Toby take her to the shed, where the party is supposed to be, but as they arrive home, they find the sheds in darkness. Suddenly, a switch is thrown and the sheds are covered in lights. The Fat Controller congratulates the two engines, everybody sings carols and Mrs. Kyndley says it is the best Christmas party ever.

### Off the Rails:

Gordon is grumpy after being told to take a goods train and his fire is slow, so Edward pushes him to the turntable. Gordon attempts to "jam" the table, but instead breaks through a fence and slides into a ditch. Edward takes the special instead and Gordon is left in the ditch until nightfall when Henry and James finally pull him out.

### Leaves:

After a long tedious wash-down following his derailment in the ditch, Gordon is forbidden from pulling coaches and told to shunt trucks until he behaves, and he begins to order the trucks about. Later, he tries to warn James that the hill is slippery from leaves. James simply laughs, but soon regrets it when the coaches drag him down the hill. Gordon takes pity and helps James up again.

### Down the Mine:

Thomas teases Gordon for falling into a ditch, and carries on even after Annie and Clarabel rebuke him. Thomas then goes to the Lead Mines to shunt trucks. Thomas concocts a plan to go past a "danger" board and falls through a weak spot in the ground. Gordon, who laughs when he finds out, comes to the rescue and on the way home, the two form an alliance.

### Paint Pots and Queens:

Elizabeth II is coming to Sodor and Henry brags that he will be chosen to take the Royal Train, but these plans are soon put to rest when Henry disturbs a painter and a paint pot falls onto him. Meanwhile, Thomas and Gordon apologise to the Fat Controller for being silly and he allows Gordon to pull the Royal Train. On the big day, Thomas gets the coaches ready and Edward clears the line in front. The Queen meets all the engines and talks personally to Thomas, Edward and Gordon, but the latter feels proudest of all.

### Cows:

Edward’s age is finally beginning to catch up with him and his parts are deteriorating. One day he is pulling cattle trucks when some disgruntled cows run into the train and break a coupling. Edward does not realise until he gets home, causing Gordon and Henry to laugh at him. Gordon is pulling the express the next day when he is stopped by a cow on a bridge. Henry, both crews and the passengers try to move her, but to no avail. Henry's guard goes for help and a porter brings the cow's calf to the bridge to lure her away. Edward soon finds out and makes fun of the big engines.

### Bertie's Chase:

Edward is running late when Thomas' train fails to arrive. Bertie arrives with Thomas' passengers - Thomas' fireman did not show up to work, forcing Thomas out of service for the day and leaving Bertie with his passengers. Seeing Edward has left, Bertie chases him to Crosby, but misses him there too. Bertie's driver and the stationmaster make a plan and they finally catch up with him at Wellsworth, where Bertie explains the whole story to Edward. Edward apologises and leaves with his passengers safely on board.

### Saved from Scrap:

Edward meets a traction engine named Trevor, who is due to be scrapped next week. Edward decides to find a home for Trevor and when he sees the Vicar of Wellsworth, he persuades him to buy Trevor. The Vicar goes to the scrapyard and after seeing Trevor prove his worthfulness, buys him and Trevor goes to live in the Vicarage Orchard.

### Old Iron:

James gets cross with Edward's being late and calls him "old iron". The next day, James' driver is ill and while his fireman gets a "relief", two boys wander into the cab and start James. Edward chases after him and after a long chase, an inspector manages to hook James with a length of rope and James' fireman checks his speed. The Fat Controller sends Edward to the Works as a reward, the boys are arrested and disciplined by their fathers, and James' driver recovers in the hospital.

### Skarloey Remembers:

Edward meets his old friend Skarloey, a narrow gauge engine. Skarloey talks to him about his friend, Rheneas, who is being repaired on the mainland, the two new engines, Sir Handel and Peter Sam, his coaches and his work. When Edward goes to the works for repairs, Skarloey dozes off in the sunshine.

### Sir Handel:

The two new engines have arrived. Peter Sam is good natured, but Sir Handel is in a bad temper. The next morning, he insults the furious coaches by calling them cattle trucks and they get vengeance by holding back on a hill. The Thin Controller scolds Sir Handel, and he behaves until he is sent to work at the quarry one day. He purposely derails himself, and when he is put back on the rails, he is sent to the shed in disgrace.

### Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady:

While Sir Handel is left in the shed, Peter Sam has to do all the work himself. One day he has so much fun getting ready that he is late, and Henry threatens to leave without Peter Sam's passengers if it happens again. Peter Sam is so worried that at the lake he starts off without the Refreshment Lady. She is rather miffed, but bursts out laughing when she hears Peter Sam's story, and explains that Henry was joking. Peter Sam is furious, but Henry has wisely left.

### Old Faithful:

While Sir Handel is left in the shed, Peter Sam has to do all the work himself. One day he has so much fun getting ready that he is late, and Henry threatens to leave without Peter Sam's passengers if it happens again. Peter Sam is so worried that at the lake he starts off without the Refreshment Lady. She is rather miffed, but bursts out laughing when she hears Peter Sam's story, and explains that Henry was joking. Peter Sam is furious, but Henry has wisely left.

### Percy and the Signal:

After playing jokes on Gordon and James, Percy decides to stay out of their way for a while, but when he is asked to take a train to Knapford he gets careless and goes over to tell them. Seizing their chance, they tell him about "backing signals", and as he stops for the signal outside Knapford, he is convinced that he is waiting for a "backing signal". He ends up making a fool of himself, and Gordon sees the whole episode.

### Duck Takes Charge:

The Fat Controller is getting a new engine to help Percy, but Gordon and James tell Percy that if he worked harder they would not need one. Percy, cross, works all day and is exhausted, but is happy when the new engine, Montague, known as Duck for his "waddle", arrives. They have a happy day together, but then Henry, Gordon and James order them about. Percy and Duck, in retaliation, block the entrance to the sheds. The Fat Controller comes and tells all five engines off. Percy is sent to work at Knapford, and Duck manages the workload alone.

### Percy and Harold:

One day at the airfield, Percy meets a noisy helicopter, Harold, who says railways are slow and out-of-date. Percy, furious, is later taking some trucks to Knapford Harbour when he sees Harold in the air and decides to race him. At the harbour, Percy thinks he has lost, but his fireman sees Harold looking for a place to land. In congratulations, his crew and the workmen sing a song about the race.

### Percy's Promise:

Thomas is busy and asks Percy to take the Vicar and his Sunday School's children home from the Beach. Percy agrees, but it starts to rain heavily as it is time to leave. Percy stops in front of a flooded paddock, but cannot go back, as a bridge has collapsed. As he crosses the paddock, water sloshes into his fire and he stops. Percy struggles on, fuelled by floorboards from Clarabel. After Harold drops some supplies for them, unfortunately landing on Percy's boiler, they make it to safety, and the Fat Controller congratulates the two.

### Percy Takes the Plunge:

At Barrow-in-Furness, Percy is telling some tank engines about the time he braved bad weather when Henry arrives. Henry tells the tank engines to go away, calling Percy silly for being egotistical. Percy responds by reminding Henry of the time he stayed in a tunnel and runs off to Knapford. There he sees a board which says "Danger". Thomas tells him to obey it, because he went past danger once and fell down a mine, but Percy is curious and persuades the trucks to push him past the sign. They do so, but push him too far and cause Percy to fall into the sea. After being scolded by the Fat Controller, Percy is "fished out" and sent to the Works.

### Gordon Goes Foreign:

When a foreign engine visits, a heated argument ensues between him, Gordon and Duck over the name of London's big station. Gordon wants to go to London to prove the station is King's Cross, but is not allowed to pass Barrow. However, when the engine taking the Express to the mainland derails, Gordon jumps at the chance to take the train and the next day the Fat Controller reads in the paper that Gordon received a hero's welcome. However, when he returns, Gordon is upset, having discovered that it was St. Pancras.

### Double Header:

Gordon is exhausted after his trip to London, so James does his work while he rests. When Toby visits him on his way to the Works, James brags to him about his importance. When Toby later tries to get a drink at Killdane, the signalman, who is new to the line, tells him he has to clear the line, forcing Toby to struggle on to Kellsthorpe Road. However, Toby's tanks have been nearly empty to begin with and he soon runs out of water. The fireman goes back down the line and asks James to push Toby to the Works. When James and Toby arrive at the station, some boys think Toby has been helping James, who, furious, disappears in a cloud of steam.

### The Fat Controller's Engines:

Thomas arrives at Knapford to see some foreign engines arrive and Percy and Toby tell him the Fat Controller has something planned. At Tidmouth, the Fat Controller tells the engines they are going to England. The next day, Thomas is showing Jinty, one of the foreign engines, around the yard while he boasts about his race. In an attempt to reenact the race, Thomas runs into some buffers and damages his front. He is repaired just in time for the trip and the engines are adored by their English spectators.

### Domeless Engines:

City of Truro, the first engine to go more than 100 miles an hour, visits Sodor and has a lengthy conversation with Duck till late at night. Gordon is jealous of City of Truro's record, claiming that he is a domeless engine and not to be trusted. Gordon later tries to equal the record while pulling the express, but his dome becomes loose from the speed and is blown off at the viaduct. All the passengers laugh at him, and at the shed that night, a voice quotes what he had said earlier - most likely Duck.

### Pop Goes the Diesel:

The engines are tired of Duck's talk about his Great Western heritage and are happy when a visitor comes. The visitor, a diesel shunter by the name of Diesel, claims he is "revolutionary", but Duck is unimpressed and tells him to fetch his trucks. Diesel attempts to take some rusty old vans away afterwards, but their brakes jam and all Diesel does is derail them. As he helps clean up, the other trucks start singing a rude parody of "Pop Goes the Weasel", much to his annoyance.

### Dirty Work:

The trucks continue to tease Diesel, and Diesel believes that Duck made him look silly and plans to have him sent away by telling the trucks rude jokes about the big engines and attributing them to Duck. The trucks tell the engines, and when they find out they refuse Duck entry into the shed. As the engines argue the Fat Controller intervenes, and, after hearing all three sides of the story, he suggests Duck to go to Wellsworth for a while. Duck sadly does so, as Diesel gives a sinister smirk.

### A Close Shave:

Edward consoles Duck over Diesel's lies about him and helps him settle into life at Wellsworth. Duck takes up a position as a banker, but one day some trucks break away and chase him down Gordon's Hill. Duck manages to slow the trucks down gradually, but nearly collides with another train at Crosby before being diverted into a siding ending in front of a barbershop. Duck crashes into the wall, and the furious barber lathers up his face. When the workmen come to pull Duck out, the Fat Controller arrives too and points out that Duck had narrowly prevented a worse accident. The barber, repentant, rinses Duck's face. To add to his joy, the Fat Controller tells Duck that Diesel has been sent away after he was caught spreading more lies and the other engines are sorry. A few days later, Duck returns home and is given a huge welcome by his friends.

### Trucks!:

Peter Sam and Sir Handel are given buffers and a new diesel named Rusty arrives, but Sir Handel continues to act in his same old way. Gordon sees Sir Handel shunting and advises him to get out of work by pretending to be sick. Sir Handel does so next morning, and Peter Sam and Rusty take his trucks for him. Peter Sam later goes to the slate mines to collect more trucks. Some mistake him for Sir Handel (due to him and Peter Sam are red, like Skarloey), and decide to play a trick on him. They snap their chain and run into him, cracking his funnel and denting his boiler. Peter Sam is rescued by Rusty and goes to the shed. Sir Handel apologizes and the Thin Controller punishes him for his lying by making him do Peter Sam's work as well as his own. Sir Handel is then left wanting to give Gordon a piece of his mind.

### Home at Last:

Peter Sam, still recovering, is delighted when Skarloey returns. They talk about the going-ons of the railway while Skarloey was away, including new coaches, and new engines such as Rusty and a bad-tempered steam locomotive named Duncan with strong language and rough manners. They are interrupted when Skarloey's crew arrive to tell him that Duncan has gotten stuck in a tunnel. Skarloey takes some workmen to pull Duncan out and takes his train home. The Thin Controller rebukes Duncan, who behaves for the rest of the evening.

### Rock 'n' Roll:

Skarloey meets Rusty and compliments him on his work on the line. Rusty confides that the line before Cros-ny-Cuirn is dangerous and he is afraid Duncan will derail. Duncan overhears and insults Rusty. The next day, Rusty, who is still cross at Duncan, leaves him to get his own coaches. Duncan is late, and James tells him about the time he "supposedly" made Diesel leave single-handedly. Duncan is impressed, and is so focused on sending Rusty packing that he comes off at the dangerous line. When Rusty hears, he grudgingly assists for the sake of the passengers and after Duncan apologises for being rude, the two become friends.

### Little Old Twins:

Some men are coming to look at the line, and Peter Sam and Sir Handel remember that people did that on their old line and that it was later sold. The engines are miserable, until Peter Sam's driver tells them the men are producers from the BBC who will be filming the engines for a television documentary. Everyone is happy again, except Sir Handel, who tries to get out by playing sick again; the Thin Controller responds by simply asking his crew to take him apart to show the producers how an engine works. Peter Sam is given the honour of pulling the television equipment, and, after a circuit around the line, stops to film Skarloey making a speech. To everyone's surprise, Skarloey reveals that he has a twin, Talyllyn, and that he met him while being repaired.

### "Hullo, Twins!":

The engines are pleased to hear a goods engine is arriving from Scotland. However, *two* engines arrive. The Fat Controller goes to meet the engines, attempting to sort the matter, but only manages to discover they have "lost their numbers", as they put it, and they have since named themselves Donald and Douglas. The Fat Controller orders for them to have numbers painted on them and puts them to work, but is determined to find out which engine should not be here and send him back.

### The Missing Coach:

Donald and Douglas (now #9 and #10 respectively), before setting off to be shown around the yard by Duck, realise they have numbers painted only on their tenders. One afternoon, Douglas is shunting in the Yard and worries about being sent away, thus indicating that he is not the engine that was supposed to come here and that Donald was. Unfortunately, he ends up forgetting to shunt Thomas' Special Coach. To evade the angry complaints of the passengers, the twins decide to swap tenders so as to convince the Fat Controller that Donald has taken his goods train, but to no avail. The Fat Controller, not being fooled, reprimands Douglas severely.

### Break Van:

Under the threat of one of the twins being sent away, the twins behave fairly well, until a spiteful brake van causes trouble for Douglas. Donald soon puts the van right, until Donald crashes backwards into a signal box in a siding. The Fat Controller scolds him, despite deciding to send Douglas back and keep him, having upset his arrangements again; assigning his goods work to James in the meantime. With the brake van and the trucks sensing James' fury, they give him a hard time pulling his train. Eventually, Douglas has to help James up Gordon's Hill as a banker. The brake van holds back again, but gets its comeuppance after Douglas, while straining up the hill, accidentally crushes it. The Fat Controller comes to supervise the clean-up, and has mixed feelings about Douglas staying.

### The Deputation:

Winter comes early, and Donald and Douglas ask to help clear the line. They manage to rescue Henry from a snowdrift, but they are still worried as it now looks like both of them will be sent back. The engines, upset over the possibility of the twins being sent back, under Edward's advice to Percy, organise a deputation, assigning Percy as their representative. Percy talks to the Fat Controller, telling him that Donald and Douglas will be scrapped if they return to Scotland, prompting the Fat Controller to finally make up his mind. He gives the twins new coats of paint and nameplates and allows them both to stay. The news is met with thunderous whistles and cheers of joy between the engines.

### Thomas Comes to Breakfast:

When Thomas' driver jokes that Thomas can manage stopping without him, Thomas misunderstands him and boasts to Percy and Toby that he does not need a driver. Next morning, after a careless cleaner fiddles with his controls, Thomas successfully moves by himself, but cannot stop and runs into the stationmaster's house as he and his family sit down for breakfast. The stationmaster shuts off steam and his wife blames Thomas for ruining their breakfast. Donald and Douglas pull him out and Thomas, with his funnel and front badly damaged, is sent to the Works.

### Daisy:

Thomas' temporary replacement, a snobby diesel rail-car named Daisy, arrives, and Percy and Toby show her around. She refuses to sleep in the engine shed, but finds the carriage shed good, except for some "rubbish" (Henrietta, Annie and Clarabel). Percy and Toby are tired after staying up late to comfort the coaches, while Daisy is bright and cheerful. She prepares for the first train when she realises a milk van is about to be coupled to her and refuses to pull it, saying it goes against "fitter's orders". The crew suspect she is lying, but the passengers cannot be kept waiting, so the van is taken away. Daisy, satisfied, sets off vowing to do whatever she wants.

### Bulls Eyes:

Daisy makes fun of Toby's cowcatchers and sideplates, saying he is scared of getting hurt. Toby objects but Daisy claims that animals will move anyway if you just "toot and look them in the eye." Later, Daisy is asked to shoo a bull called Champion to his owner, but he is too busy eating grass to notice. As facing the bull frightens her, Daisy gives up and goes back to the yard, and Toby "shoos" Champion for her. That evening, Daisy sees some boys enjoying some sweets called "bull's-eyes" and gets huffy.

### Percy's Predicament:

Daisy has neglected to take the milk again and Percy's in a bad mood. Toby decides to take the van for him so as to let Percy take his trucks from the quarry. Percy speaks rudely to the trucks, and they plan their revenge. As they slow down at a sign to "pin down" brakes, the trucks surge forward and push Percy down the line and into a train of stone trucks. That evening, the Fat Controller scolds Percy for being careless, and then Daisy for being lazy but gives her a second chance for her work after Percy's accident. Thomas comes home the next day, Percy is sent to the works, and Toby teaches Daisy the finer points of branch line life.

### Special Funnel:

Peter Sam's funnel is still loose after his accident with the slate trucks, and he longs for his new one. When winter is approaching, a washout sweeps a bridge away. Rusty and the workmen manage to repair it by the next market day, during which time the weather becomes frosty. Peter Sam, who is taking the passenger train, has his funnel knocked off by an icicle in the tunnel. His crew replace it with a drainpipe, until his new funnel, a "Giesl ejector", arrives. Although the engines tease him about its design at first (Sir Handel and Duncan continually ask him why he sat on it), the engines soon become jealous of it, as it allows Peter Sam to work more easily than ever.

### Steam-Roller:

Sir Handel is always slipping between the rails, so he is given new wheels with broad tyres. The engines nickname him "a steamroller", until Skarloey tells him about George, the anti-railway steamroller working near the line. The next day, Sir Handel is taking a special train when he sees George rolling home. Sir Handel tries to pass, but George refuses and eventually they crash. Rusty and Mr. Hugh arrive to clear the mess, and next day, after a fence is put up to separate the road and rail, George leaves. Sir Handel thinks he made George go away, and is more conceited than ever - at least until some boys start talking about the "race".

### Passengers and Polish:

Nancy, the guard's daughter, is giving Skarloey a polish when Duncan asks if he can get polished too. Nancy does not have the time, however, and Duncan starts to sulk. Later that day, one of Skarloey's coaches derails and Duncan is sent to take the passengers home. He arrives in time for his own train, and is so annoyed that he doesn't even try to build up steam, and he eventually stops right on the viaduct. Skarloey comes to take him to the top station, but the passengers are furious at the delay and say it is a bad railway. Duncan, however, does not care.

### Gallant Old Engine:

Duncan is still complaining, so Skarloey tells him and Peter Sam the story of Rheneas.

The year before Peter Sam and Sir Handel came, the Skarloey Railway was facing hard times and was at a possibility of closing. Skarloey was tired, so Rheneas offered to do some of his work too. Then, one day, he was pulling a full train home when his valve gear jammed. The Thin Controller and Mr. Hugh managed to fix him so he could struggle to the next station. It was hard work, but he managed to get there. The passengers were so grateful that they promised to come back with all their friends. Duncan realises he has been silly and thanks and apologises to Skarloey.

The next day, Edward brings Rheneas back to the Skarloey Railway, and a huge celebration ensues. But Rheneas feels the happiest when he is with Skarloey.

### Bluebells of England:

Percy is singing about bluebells when Douglas comes up and tells him that his song is daft. Percy is cross and tells him about the "Bluebells of England" and how the engines on the Other Railway suffer from the cruel-spirit of their controllers and how they are sent to the scrapyards to be cut up, causing Douglas to remember how he might have met the same fate if he had not escaped. Percy then goes on to inform Douglas about the Bluebell Railway, where steam engines are much safer and that their engine Stepney is coming to Sodor, when Stepney suddenly arrives and the two welcome him with a chorus of whistles.

### Stepney's Special:

After talking to Edward about the Bluebell Railway, Stepney goes to Tidmouth to help Duck. Thomas has just left with his last train when he is stopped so Stepney, with a V.I.P. in tow, can pass. Thomas is furious, but when Stepney explains the next morning that he was running a Special and flatters Thomas by complimenting his knowledge of branch line life, Thomas is happier and begins talking about his branch line.

### Train Stops Play:

Percy takes pity on Stepney when he reveals he misses trucks and offers to share his train with him. Stepney later passes the Elsbridge Cricket Field when a batsman hits a six and the ball lands in one of his trucks. Stepney does not hear the cricketers shout, so four of them pile into an old car named Caroline and race after them. At Ffarquhar, they find the ball and as Caroline is exhausted, Stepney takes them all back with Caroline on a flatbed and stays to watch the match. After that, Caroline does not mind trains anymore.

### Bowled Out:

Stepney's stay is almost over, but in his place a rude diesel arrives and insults the engines, by boasting about how he is more up to date. Although the engines have no idea of what to do, the Diesel soon gets his just desserts when an Inspector's bowler hat lodges in his air intake. Duck and Stepney have to take his train and they reach Cronk in record time. Stepney leaves the next day in style, with the engines asking him to return and Donald and Douglas making everyone sing Auld Lang Syne, while the Diesel creeps away in disgrace.

### Mountain Engine:

Sir Handel is grumpy and complains about the coaches causing trouble for him. Rheneas tells him that he should be grateful that he does not work on a mountain railway. Sir Handel does not believe such a thing exists, and an argument ensues until Donald arrives with Culdee, a mountain engine. When Culdee wakes up, he tells the little engines about his line, and an adventure he had on his first day when he learned how to use his automatic brakes during a thrilling journey down a mountain.

### Bad Look-Out:

Duncan is in a bad mood because the Thin Controller says he kept a bad look out, so Skarloey and Rheneas change the subject of the conversation by asking Culdee about his coaches. The discussion soon drifts to Culdee's automatic brakes, and the story of Godred, an engine who held too much faith in his automatic brakes. Despite frequent discipline and investigation into his behaviour, Godred continued in his way. Eventually, Godred fell off the tracks and down the mountainside. Since the manager had no money to repair Godred, he was sent to the back of the shed, where over time the drivers dismantled Godred for spare parts to mend Culdee and the other engines. Sir Handel and Duncan are mortified and remain silent, while Skarloey and Rheneas do not mention that the tale was made up.

### Danger Points:

Donald brings Culdee home, where he discovers that three new engines have arrived: Alaric, Eric and Lord Harry, the latter of whom is loud and impulsive. The next day, Culdee makes fun of Lord Harry's "super-heat" and Lord Harry determines to pay him out. Instead, he derails at the summit, preventing Wilfred from taking his "down" train. Lord Harry is subsequently rescued and sent to the back of the shed in disgrace.

### "Devil's Back":

Lord Harry gets his name taken away as punishment, now being referred to by his #6, and, after hearing Culdee's story of Godred, asks the Manager to be let out. The Manager agrees, but forbids him from pushing passenger trains, so #6 is assigned to taking supplies and workmen up to Summit Hotel. One day, he is preparing to continue up Devil's Back, a difficult part of the line, after a message arrives about a group of injured climbers. Despite the strong wind, #6 perseveres and the leader of the climbers asks the Manager to rename #6 after a friend who helped him when he was injured. Nowadays, #6 is renamed Patrick and only takes risks when absolutely necessary.

### Crosspatch:

Nancy is polishing Skarloey, but Skarloey calls her a fusspot. Nancy replies by calling him a crosspatch. Skarloey remembers he once *was* a crosspatch, and tells Nancy the story...

Skarloey was built in 1864 and sent to Sodor on a ship the following year. After being lowered onto a flatbed using the ship's derricks, he was taken to Crovan's Gate by an ugly but kind engine named Neil. The people there weren't used to engines, and it was dark by the time he was on the rails. The next morning, he was told to take some trucks, but he wanted to pull coaches. The manager, Mr. Mack, and some workmen came and tried to make him steam, but he refused to do anything, day after day. Eventually, they got tired and covered him up with a tarpaulin.

Nancy says it served Skarloey right, but a crowd which has come to listen tells him to go on…

### Bucking Bronco:

At last, Mr. Mack came and Skarloey said sorry. Mr. Mack told him that Mr. Bobbie, an engineer who helped build Skarloey, had come, and Skarloey worked hard to finish the line before the inspector arrived.

When Rheneas first arrived he was a sensible engine, unlike Skarloey, who was bouncy and excited. When Skarloey was told to pull the directors' train, Rheneas told him to be careful, but Skarloey scoffed at him and got Agnes, Ruth, Jemima and Beatrice. The coaches had never met him before, and their leader, Agnes, did not trust him. When Skarloey began to bounce, Mr. Mack, who was riding on Skarloey, closed the regulator too quickly and the coaches bumped into each other. They bumped him back, and Mr. Mack was knocked into a bush. He rode in Beatrice for the remainder of the journey.

The directors were cross, and told Rheneas to pull the inspector's train instead. The inspector was satisfied, but told the directors to give Skarloey an extra set of wheels…

### Stick-in-the-Mud:

Rheneas starts telling the rest of the story. When Skarloey returned with another pair of wheels and a cab, Agnes, Ruth, Lucy, Jemima and Beatrice were impressed and Skarloey got conceited. When he told Rheneas he should get a cab, Rheneas disagreed. Skarloey called him a stick-in-the-mud, and the argument went on until the two fell out. Then, one morning, Skarloey was taking the workmen to the quarry in the rain. When Rheneas was warming up, the guard arrived and told them Skarloey was stuck in a landslide beyond the tunnel. Rheneas refused to help at first, but went when reminded of the workmen and crew. Afterwards, Skarloey apologised, and they burst out laughing when they realised *Skarloey* was the stick-in-the-mud after all.

### Duck and Dukes:

Duck tells Peter Sam that there are no Dukes, having all been scrapped. Peter Sam, who remembered the Thin Controller saying the Duke of Sodor was coming to Skarloey and Rheneas' hundredth birthday, is horrified, and when he tells the others, they argue over who is right. (Peter Sam may have been thinking of Duke from the Mid Sodor Railway, but Sir Handel's reaction is never revealed.) But the next day, the engines are happy when they wake up, for it's Skarloey and Rheneas' birthday. Later, Peter Sam takes the television train and films Rheneas. After Skarloey arrives and takes the Duke around the new loop line around the Lake, the Duke makes a speech, during which Peter Sam interrupts and asks him if he is real. The Duke tells him he is, and Rheneas makes a speech asking everyone to visit his and Skarloey's respective twin brothers, Dolgoch and Talyllyn.

### The Diseasel:

Bill and Ben are tank engine twins that work at the China Clay Workings on Edward's Branch Line. One day they leave some trucks in a siding and leave for more, but return to find them all gone. Their drivers determine it was a "diseasel" that took them, and when Bill recalls a sign saying "coughs and sneezles spread diseasels", in his words, Ben blames him. Their drivers quiet them and formulate a plan. They find the "diseasel" on a siding, and manage to confuse him so as to make him giddy, but when Edward comes along he reprimands them and tells them to apologise to the diseasel, who calls himself BoCo. Edward sends them away, and he and BoCo joke about the twins.

### Buzz, Buzz:

Duck and BoCo are talking about Bill and Ben. Duck tells BoCo he has nicknamed them "The Bees", when James, who just arrived, claims he would simply blow smoke at bees to shoo them away. The next day, two porters are driving a trolley with a beehive on top when it falls off and bees swarm out. They decide to rest on James' boiler, but when one burns its feet, it stings James on the nose, and James runs away as he and his crew could not take it anymore. In the end, BoCo took the Express while Duck looked after his trucks, and that night the others talk about a red beehive on wheels.

### Wrong Road:

Although the big engines are forbidden to go on the branch lines because of their weight, Gordon claims he is forbidden because they are "vulgar", and leaves to take his late train. He misses his "path" after a lady with a large floppy green hat confounds the fireman into thinking the guard had waved his flag, and in the end Edward's train leaves ahead of Gordon. However, this creates a huge disruption as the Wellsworth signalman is not informed, and Gordon is left on a siding at Brendam. The next day, Bill and Ben come into the yard, and tease him by "mistaking" him for scrap and arguing about how to dispose of Gordon. Gordon thinks they are serious, and when BoCo arrives, he asks for help. BoCo sends the twins away with his trucks, and Gordon has had great respect for BoCo ever since.

### Edward's Exploit:

Edward reprimands Bill and Ben for what they did to Gordon, but told Gordon that he deserved it. He is later set to take some enthusiasts home, but finds it hard to move the train. After meeting up with Bill and Ben, Edward takes the enthusiasts away, but bad weather forces him to stop when a crankpin breaks, severely battering his splashers and frame up and out of shape. His crew take both side rods off, and Edward manages to struggle home. Edward is sent to Crovan's Gate to be mended, and BoCo does his work so well that he single-handedly changes Donald and Douglas' opinion about diesels.

### Ballast:

New ballast is being laid in the trackbed of the Fat Controller's Railway. Donald and Douglas bring it from a line that starts at Tidmouth, and all they say is that "verra wee engines" bring it down from the hills. Duck is curious and asks to take some trucks along the line. There, he meets a small green engine called Rex, who tells him about the "chute" that loads his trucks. The next time Duck visits, Rex introduces him to two other engines, Bert and Mike. When Duck discovers that they do not have any passengers yet, he leaves, promising to bring some for them.

### Tit for Tat:

Bert's driver tells the engines that two clergymen are coming to take pictures of them and put them in a book. Bert thinks he will be physically stuck in a book, and is apprehensive, but cheers up when he meets them. However, he gets cross again when they do not wave at him while taking pictures, and the final straw is when they accidentally drench him with muddy water when they pass him in their car. Bert plans revenge, and at a hilly part, he creates steam, soaking his driver and the Fat Clergyman, who is riding in the cab. The Small Controller hears about what happened and sternly sends Bert to the shed. But later, after both parties make up, Bert tells the others they will be in the book along with him.

### Mike's Whistle:

Duck's whistle is faulty after his crew use it to cook eggs, and Mike makes fun of him, saying "engines without whistles aren't proper engines at all". The others tease Mike about his whistle, and when he blows off steam he is chosen to take the passenger train. Mike is furious and is in a bad temper all day. When a cow strays onto the line, Mike tries to 'shoo' her away by whistling, but all that happens is that his whistle shoots off into the sky. Everyone tries looking for it, but to no avail, and they have to make the whistling noises for him. Mike is sent to work at the quarry for the rest of the day, and to top it off Bert and Rex tease him again in the shed.

### Useful Railway:

After an encounter with a flock of sheep, Mike calls them silly and cannot understand why Rex calls them useful. The Small Controller arrives and tells them they are now arranging to take wool trains for the local farmers. Rex is chosen to take the first train. Rex is over-confident but gets his comeuppance when a tractor's load spills onto the line, derailing him. Bert and Mike tease him but say sorry when they come to take him home, and the Small Controller tells them their railway is more popular than ever.

### Tenders for Henry:

The engines wrongly attribute Gordon's surly mood to boiler sludge from a dodgy water tower on the Mainland and matters are made worse when Gordon finds only one of his brothers is left in existence. The Fat Controller feels sorry for Gordon and arranges for his brother, Flying Scotsman, to visit, but Henry is jealous of Flying Scotsman's two tenders and claims he deserves another. Duck offers Henry six tenders. Henry is delighted and accepts, but is made to look like a fool when it is revealed they are old and full of boiler sludge.

### Super Rescue:

Two diesels, 7101 and 199, arrive. 7101 is friendly, but 199 is rude, saying diesels are more reliable than steam engines. The next day, Henry is rolling home tender-first, his regulator jammed and meets 199 with a train of fuel and oil tankers at a signal box. 199, ironically, has failed and so does 7101 after his ejector leaks and he cannot pull his passenger train. Henry, with some help from 7101, still able to move, bravely takes 199, the oil-tankers and the passengers to the next station. Flying Scotsman, to the delight of the passengers, takes the passenger train, while Donald takes the goods. 199 is sent away in disgrace for insulting the steam engines and Henry helps 7101 to the shed.

### Escape:

Douglas has taken the "Midnight Goods" to the Other Railway and is preparing to return when a stranded steam engine, Oliver, asks for help. Douglas buffers up and the two crews scribble "Scrap" over Oliver. However, a diesel shouts out a warning and the foreman stops them. They manage to coax their way past and eventually reach the Works. A friendly watchman shows them where to hide Oliver, his coach Isabel, and his brake van Toad.

### Little Western:

Douglas arrives in time to see Flying Scotsman off and tells the others his news. The Fat Controller overhears and enquires about the fuss. Duck tells him they need another steam engine, but the Fat Controller gravely tells them they are rare to find. Douglas is about to interrupt when the Fat Controller reveals Oliver is being mended.

In the end, 7101 stays and is renamed "Bear" after the growling noises he sometimes makes, Oliver, Isabel and Toad are repainted, three new coaches are rescued from scrapping and given to Oliver and Duck and the Fat Controller re-opens the Little Western and asks Duck and Oliver to run it.

### Donald's Duck:

The Fat Controller re-opens the Arlesburgh branch and asks Duck to run it for him. Duck is proud, and one night talks so much about his responsibility that Donald, at the end of his tether, mocks him by making quacking noises and suggesting that he can lay eggs. Duck, furious, makes a plan to get revenge, and his crew put a duckling in Donald's watertank. She pops out the next day at the water tower, and Donald realizes it was Duck's pay-back. The duck is tame and rides with Donald for a fair while until she gets off at Haultraugh. Donald and his crew, plotting a last ploy, place an egg in a nest box behind Duck's bunker. Duck acknowledges defeat, and nowadays the duck, called "Dilly" by a stationmaster, lives happily at Haultraugh.

### Resource and Sagacity:

After Oliver was rescued, he and Isabel were repainted in Great Western colours, joined by another coach called Dulcie, who was also rescued and start working on the Arlesburgh branch. The big engines are amazed at Oliver's adventures and say approving things to him, making him over-confident from flattery, but Oliver meets his match after a load of disgruntled ballast trucks push him into the turntable well. After Duck, the Scottish Twins and the Fat Controller speak to him sternly, he is left feeling very silly.

### Toad Stands By:

After Oliver is mended and returns to the yard, the trucks, led by a "Private Owner" wagon named S.C. Ruffey, sing a rude song about him. The others try to get them to shut up, but no avail. Toad makes a plan and asks Douglas if he can share it with Oliver. Duck is apprehensive at first, but Oliver feels he must make things right, and so it is arranged. Oliver lines the worst trucks up, with guidance from Toad, and starts. S.C. Ruffey, who is at the front, tells the others to hold back, and they do, but Oliver is so determined that he abruptly tears S.C. Ruffey apart. Although the Fat Controller attributes it to S.C. Ruffey's poor condition, he tells Oliver to keep it quiet. It is for a good reason, too, because the trucks are now so afraid Oliver will pull them apart that they never trouble him again.

### Bulgy:

During a Bank Holiday, Duck meets a cynical doubledecker bus who holds a dogmatic opposition to railways. Oliver tells Duck that he should not be taken seriously and nicknames him Bulgy, but is worried when Bulgy's friend arrives, leaving Bulgy to take their passengers with the promise of a faster way home and the lie that he accepts railway tickets. Duck is crossly puffing home when he is stopped by a bridge where Bulgy has wedged underneath. Duck carefully makes it across and takes the passengers home. In the end, Bulgy ends up staying under the bridge until it is mended, but continues to lie, and is eventually turned into a henhouse.

### Grandpuff:

Duke, Falcon and Stuart are three engines who live on the Mid Sodor Railway. Named after His Grace the Duke of Sodor, Duke is wise, but Falcon and Stuart are young and cheeky and often make fun of "Granpuff", as they affectionately call him. This goes on until Duke tells them the story of a reckless engine named Stanley, otherwise known as No. 2, who was rough and often derailed and was punished by being turned into a pumping engine. The three have many adventures together until their line closes. Falcon and Stuart are purchased and in due course wind up on the Skarloey Railway, where they are painted red and re-named Sir Handel and Peter Sam respectively, but Duke is not wanted and is sheltered in the Arlesdale shed. Duke, unaware that His Grace was killed in the war and that the current Duke is only a child who does not know of his existence, goes to sleep...

### Bulldog:

In the old days of the Mid Sodor Railway, when Sir Handel was blue and named Falcon, the Manager arranged for him to double-head with Duke to learn the mountain road. Falcon ignores Duke's warnings and when they reach a sharp part of the line, he derails and hangs dangerously over the edge. Duke holds back but is in need of more water to build up more steam. With the help of the passengers gathering water from a cottage, he gathers enough strength to pull Falcon back. Falcon is grateful, but Duke is modest and says he only did what he did because he did not want Falcon's paint spoilt if he rolled down the mountain.

### You can't win:

Duke is old and Stuart jokes he may have to be kept in order. Duke merely laughs, but later his valves begin leaking and Falcon and Stuart come to the rescue. The cavalcade split up at Marthwaite, as Falcon takes Duke's passengers to catch their boat at Arlesburgh, while Stuart takes Falcon's train with Duke coupled in front. Duke and his driver, hearing Stuart's triumphant chortles, make a plan, and on the last hill, Duke gives a great effort. At Arlesdale, a boy inquires as to why there were two engines, to which his father replies Stuart needed assistance, and so Duke came to help.

### Sleeping Beauty:

His Grace finally learns of Duke from the engines and staff of the Skarloey Railway, and he in turn informs the Small Controller, whose railway is built on remnants from the Mid Sodor Railway. The Small Controller organises a search party, consisting of himself and both the Thin and Fat Clergymen, and they enlist Rex, Bert and Mike to help them find Duke, promising to include them in the book if they are well-behaved. After a long, initially fruitless search, the Fat Clergyman crashes into Duke's shed, landing on his boiler. Duke is apprehensive, but cheers up when he told that the Duke is being brought to meet him. Duke, to his dismay, is sent to Arlesburgh by lorry, but is happier to discover he is still popular, and Donald carries him to the Skarloey Railway on a flatbed, where he is greeted by a large crowd of admirers. Sir Handel and Peter Sam find him beside the shed and tease him by saying they can now keep him in order. Duke plays along and falls asleep happily in the sunshine.

### Ghost Train:

Percy claims his driver saw a "ghost train" the previous night, but Thomas does not believe him and Percy's driver confirms that the engine was on television. On his way home from working at the harbour all day, Percy crashes into a cart of lime that had become stuck at Crowe's Farm Crossing. When the signalman remarks that Percy looks like a ghost, Percy makes a plan and convinces Thomas he has crashed and returned as a ghost, scaring Thomas out of the shed.

### Woolly Bear:

Thomas is still annoyed at Percy and when Percy is delayed picking up hay bales, Thomas claims Percy is a "green caterpillar with red stripes". Percy, furious, resolves to be quick but is delayed when a crate of treacle falls on him. The worst is wiped off, but as Percy returns home, a gale whips up and he is covered in hay. Now Thomas has the last laugh with Toby.

### Mavis:

Mavis is a stuck-up diesel working at Ffarquhar Quarry who loves rearranging the trucks in different sidings. This creates confusion and Toby is cross because the trucks are not in the places he wants them. When Mavis sees Daisy, she tells her that diesels are better than steam engines, making Mavis prouder than ever. One day, Toby instructs Mavis on how to be careful on a certain spot of the level crossing, but Mavis was not keen to listen and as a result, the trucks hold her back on the level crossing and Toby has to come help.

### Toby's tightrope:

After a stern talk with the manager, Mavis is restricted to the quarry for her incident. After a frost comes and goes, work increases and Mavis manages to convince the manager to let her go as far as the crossing. She formulates a plan to go further down the line and asks the trucks to push her at the crossing, but when Toby comes they decide to do it to him and he ends up suspended over a raging torrent on a wrecked bridge with dangling rails. Mavis rescues him and even thou*gh it was her fault, she is forgiven and allowed to go down the line.*

### *Stop Thief!:*

The guard tells Thomas' crew that the stationmaster's house was burgled the previous night and his gardening trophies and new car were stolen. Thomas is later puffing through the valley when he sees a car very much like the stationmaster's one and warns his crew, who identify the driver and passenger as the thieves. At the next signal box, they throw the fireman's lunch box, with a note inside, to a signalman. The thieves are stopped at a roadblock, the trophies and car are recovered undamaged and the Fat Controller arrives at Ffarquhar to congratulate Thomas and his crew.

### Mind that Bike:

Tom Tipper the postman falls ill and when he recovers, he discovers that his van has been replaced with a bicycle. When he gets to Ffarquhar, Tom is asked to fill in some papers, so he props his bicycle carefully against the fence and asks Percy to keep an eye on it. A boy comes along and starts riding the bike just as Percy starts. The boy falls off and manages to get out of the way, but the bike is run over and destroyed. Luckily, all ends well as Tom is given his van again.

### Fish:

An extra load of fish needs to be transported in the Flying Kipper, but the only vans available are several old rusty ones. At Wellsworth, Henry calls for a banker, and Duck arrives to help him with his train. Going up Gordon's Hill, however, a tail-lamp falls off, and Duck drops behind. Henry soon slows down and Duck collides with the vans, denting his funnel and boiler.

### Triple Header:

One day after pulling the Express, Gordon feels tired and Thomas replies by telling him to become a tank engine. Later, it is discovered that Gordon needs new tubes. Henry is told to pull the Express, but one day he gets sick too. Thomas, Percy, and Duck are the only engines available, so they are told to take it. On Gordon's Hill, Percy runs out of steam. They are unable to uncouple him, so they try to struggle to the Works. Duck breaks down just outside the station and Thomas, unable to take the train himself, stops. Gordon, who watched the whole scene from his siding, makes heavy breathing noises at Thomas.

### Old Stuck-Up:

BoCo is showing a visiting diesel around the line. When the diesel finds he is to share the shed with steam locomotives, he is disgusted and insults them, leading James to nickname him "Old Stuck-Up". The diesel sleeps outside the shed and when he wakes up the next day, remembers he has to refuel and be cleaned. In the part of the shed where BoCo and Bear sleep is a cleaning stop. The diesel decides to use it, but goes forward too quickly, slips on the oily tracks and crashes into the back of the shed. After a stern talking to by the Fat Controller for insulting the North Western Railway, the diesel then goes home in disgrace.

### Crossed Lines:

The engines are fed up with James' complaining about diesels having two cabs and boasting about his importance. He becomes worse than ever when he has to shunt a goods train one misty day. James has to whistle to alert the signalman to switch the points, but another engine whistles first and the confused signalman switches the points as a well wagon is going over them, causing it to go sideways into a signal, knocking it down in the process. Despite the fact that the accident was not James' fault, the Fat Controller speaks to him severely about it since it was an inconvenient loss. He remains exceptionally quiet in the shed that night, much to the relief of the other engines.

### Fire-Engine:

During a discussion about paint one night, Henry remarks he is thankful he does not look like a fire-engine, like James, but James makes a crafty reply and the joke turns to Henry. Henry, furious, broods over paying James out and bangs around so much that the coupling on his tender breaks, causing him to be separated from his tender. Because they cannot get any more water, the crew is forced to throw out Henry's fire onto the line, but the sleepers start to catch fire. Edward comes to take Henry's train and tells the others later that day. Henry is given a temporary coupling to his tender and James notes that he has never made rude comments about fire engines since.

### Deep Freeze:

One wintry day, James takes on too much water at Crovan's Gate, which makes the water overflow on his filler-cap and freeze it, causing his injector to fail. A diesel comes to the rescue and despite the fact that James feels humiliated at first, he quickly and readily befriends the diesel and has since never made fun of diesels.

### Patience is a Virtue:

Sir Handel is delighted to have been chosen to visit the Talyllyn Railway, but cannot leave until Duke's restoration has been completed. When summer comes, Sir Handel's trains become longer. One day at the waterfall there are not enough coaches and some passengers have to crowd in Beatrice. Sir Handel becomes impatient waiting for the guard to check all the tickets, and when he can finally go Sir Handel leaves without the guard. Luckily, a passenger presses Beatrice's emergency buzzer and Sir Handel realizes his mistake. Sir Handel collects the guard and races home, and arrives at Crovan's Gate on time, where the guard reminds him "patience is a virtue".

### Peter Sam and the Prickly Problem:

With Duke fully restored, Sir Handel leaves for the Talyllyn Railway. Meanwhile, men have been trimming bushes so the passengers can see the scenery, but Rusty does not have enough time to pick up the branches and so they remain where they are. One day, Peter Sam sees some branches on the line, and, not wanting to miss James' train, recklessly ploughs through. Unfortunately, they become jammed in his valve gear and although the worst is cut out Peter Sam's front feels very sore for several days afterwards.

### Pop Special:

Some boy scouts are camping near the Skarloey Railway and the scoutmaster arranges for them to do work on the line. One sweltering day, Duncan is stopped by the scoutmaster; the scouts are in need of some soda and he is afraid they will become cross if they do not get some. The Refreshment Lady has run out of soda, but another tea-shop has enough to spare, and Duncan delivers it to the grateful scouts.

### Sir Handel Comes Home:

Sir Handel returns from the Talyllyn Railway and tells the engines about his adventures. Some members of the royal family came to visit during his stay, and although Sir Handel did not get to pull their train he did get to pull a party of wedding guests. When Peter Sam talks about his incident with the branches, Sir Handel remembers a similar incident: he was puffing to Nant Gwernol when a fallen tree hit him in the face. Although his eye was not badly hurt, his crew made a huge fuss about it and even went so far as to bandage his eye and give him an eyepatch. Sir Handel loved his trip, but is glad to be home.

### Thomas, Percy and the Coal:

Thomas brags that blue is the only proper colour for a Really Useful Engine. Next day, Percy is shunting when the door on a coal truck opens and coal dust covers Thomas. Thomas and Percy are furious at one another, and the argument gets worse and worse. Several days later, Percy goes to get a drink but collides with a coal bunker, much to Thomas' delight.

### The Runaway:

One day, Thomas wakes up feeling ill, so Duck looks after his branch line while he is being mended. When Thomas returns from the Works, his brakes are left stiff. One day, a "relief" fireman forgets to put Thomas' brakes on and Thomas starts off. Although an inspector tries to stop Thomas at Dryaw, Thomas is going too fast and Harold takes the inspector to Toryreck. Annie and Clarabel hold back so the inspector can leap aboard and stop Thomas.

### Better Late than never:

The arches on the Viaduct need strengthening and the big engines are late at Knapford to meet up with Thomas. One day, Bertie teases Thomas that he could beat him in a race - something Thomas vehemently denies. James later holds Thomas up, but just outside the tunnel, Thomas sees Bertie broken down. Thomas offers to help Bertie's passengers home, and the next day Bertie comes to Ffarquhar to thank Thomas.

### Drip Tank:

Percy wants to make amends with Thomas, but when he gets scratched by a branch, Thomas is rude and Percy decides against it. Later, Percy asks Toby what a drip is, having heard a boy call his friend one at the platform, but Thomas interrupts and calls Percy a drip. Thomas soon gets his comeuppance when his side rod snaps and punctures his water tank on his way home. When Percy goes to help him, Thomas feels ashamed and apologises to Percy, thus mending their friendship.

### High-Speed Gordon:

Gordon is jealous when he hears about the high-speed engines on the Other Railway and boasts that he can go faster. Gordon sets out to prove his superior speed capabilities when he takes the Express, but he slips on the rails and the water in his boiler surges forward, rendering him incapable of ceasing to create steam. Donald takes him back to the shed after he runs out of steam and Henry takes charge of the Express. That night, Gordon's mishap becomes quite a joke.

### Smokescreen:

Gordon feels stuffed up and sneezes at Wellsworth, spraying soot all over a party of wedding guests. The Fat Controller delays a visit to the mainland to apologise to the wedding party. Afterwards, Gordon steams past and some ashes fall onto the Fat Controller's top hat. When Gordon gets home, an inspector tells him that he will be disciplined when the Fat Controller returns.

### Fire Escape:

Gordon tries to rectify his mistakes, but when they reach a hill, a firebar collapses. Thinking quickly, the driver tells the fireman to put a large piece of coal over the hole. Gordon manages to struggle to a loop, and BoCo comes to help. The Fat Controller thanks BoCo and is about to say something to Gordon when he leaves to go to his train, leaving Gordon in suspense.

### Gordon Proves his Point:

At Barrow-in-Furness, a porter asks Gordon to take a train of enthusiasts up to Carlisle. The Fat Controller agrees, and two powercars called Pip and Emma take the Express back to Tidmouth. James helps them to get there after Emma breaks down. When Gordon returns, the Fat Controller forgives him for his incident with the wedding party and tells him that the ashes came from an ashtray being emptied by a steward. Gordon takes the passengers home.

### Mavis and the Lorry:

Mavis is bringing trucks down from Ffarquhar Quarry when she sees a lorry at the crossing, where vehicles often come across with dangerous speed and turns. The driver, who is new to Sodor and does not expect to see an engine, has his lorry turned over when it collides with Mavis. Although the driver is unharmed but surprised, Mavis' cowcatcher is bent, and while she is being mended Toby is sent to work at the quarry, leaving Percy with extra work.

### Toby's Seaside Holiday:

Toby reminisces about his days working at a harbour. One day, his crew told him they were allowed to go to a local village's seaside festival. After receiving brand-new paintwork, he set off to the village. After a night on a siding, Toby was told they did not have room for him, but the real reason was that they were afraid he would show everyone else up. However, Toby's daydream is interrupted when his crew returns. Toby leaves, noting the Fat Controller would have organised the whole event better.

### Bulstrode:

Percy is told to go to Knapford Harbour to help with an emergency. There, the trucks ask him to unload their stone into Bulstrode, a cantankerous old barge, to get away from his constant complaining. Unfortunately as Percy starts to push, a coupling breaks and some trucks run into Bulstrode, who nearly drowns, but luckily for him the tide is out. The trucks are sad of losing their friends, but happy because they will not have to deal with Bulstrode anymore. The workmen rescue some stone, Percy takes the broken trucks to the scrapyard, and Bulstrode is towed to a beach so children can play in him.

### Toby Takes the Road:

Terence takes care of the shunting for Percy while he is at the harbour, and brags about how he can "go anywhere and do anything". Then one day, Toby is going to the quarry one frosty morning. At the crossing, the earth has swelled over the rails, derailing Toby and creating two long ruts in the road nearby. With some quick thinking on the fireman's part Toby gets back on the rails, and his crew spread some of his ashes to prevent that incident from happening again. The Fat Controller soon finds out, but all he says is that Toby should stick to the railway. Toby happily agrees.

### Scrambled Eggs:

The Fat Controller has to make a weight limit on one of the bridges on the Ffarquhar Branch Line while it's under repair. Thomas exceeds it, so he is sent to the Brendam Branch Line until the work is done. Edward decides to try to cheer him up by taking him to meet Bill and Ben, but they only make him cross. Meanwhile, a farmer is taking some dairy to market when his lorry breaks down. He is calling for help when Thomas crashes into the back of the lorry, getting covered in broken eggs. Even though his crew tries to clean them off, they are cooked by the heat from Thomas' boiler and stick fast. When Thomas finally arrives at Brendam, Bill and Ben tease him even more. The twins hear a grinding noise and believe their joints are stiff, but they are mistaken—-it is Thomas gnashing his teeth with rage.

### What a Picture:

After Edward threatens to not bring some enthusiasts to see Bill and Ben if they continue teasing Thomas, they start behaving again. On the big day, a ship runs aground and Ben goes to try and pull it into deeper waters before the tide goes out. The enthusiasts go to watch, except for a man who continuously takes pictures of Bill. He sets up his camera for the best one yet when Ben's driver comes along asking for help and Bill's driver turns a tap, creating a huge cloud of steam. After helping Ben, Bill and his driver discover the photo lying discarded on the ground, for only Bill's funnel is showing.

### Trevor Helps out:

Trevor is feeling unwell with some boiler trouble, but is able to see a fallen tree in a field. Meanwhile, Edward, who is passing by, finds the rails bumpy, and decides to tell the breakdown gang. He forgets, and is returning from Brendam when his last few trucks derail. Edward does not realise this, but Trevor hears the guard's whistle and cries out to Edward. As a reward for preventing a potential accident, the Fat Controller arranges for Trevor to be repaired.

### Down the Drain:

Near the China Clay Workings is a dip in the land which is often flooded with water from the nearby sea. One wet day, Ben is taking some trucks to Brendam when the strong wind blows a wave into the cab, dousing his fire. His fireman asks Thomas to help, and he pulls Ben away from the water. When Bill is able to return from the quarry a few days later, he and Ben decide never to tease Thomas again as it would show their ingratitude after he helped them.

### We need another engine:

Small Railway Engines has just been published, but the Thin Clergyman, unaware of Frank the diesel's presence on the Arlesdale Railway, did not include him, much to Frank's fury. Frank refuses to start the next morning and when he does, he jerks into the back of the shed. Frank feels ashamed but redeems himself later when Rex's steampipe leaks and he has to rescue Rex's train. The Small Controller is pleased but does not want Frank to have to do all the rescue work and starts thinking.

### Sticking Power:

Bert is feeling unwell; Rex and Mike are very unsympathetic. The problem is attributed to his tubes, but Bert cheers up when the fitter tells him that a new engine is being built. Bert makes good time, but when he starts again his coupling breaks. His driver has an idea and glues Bert to the coaches with glue. In the shed, Bert tells the others of his adventure and goes to sleep after teasing the others about not having "sticking-power".

### Jock:

Bert lets the others in on his secret. A few weeks later, the unnamed engine, who is ochre in colour, comes out for testing. When Douglas sees the engine, he recalls some engines in the Highlands with that colour who were called "Jocks". The engine is delighted and the happy Small Controller christens the engine "Jock".

### Teamwork:

By the time the holiday months come again, Jock has proven his worth and becomes cocky, more so when he single-handedly moves a lorry's trailer into the yard. The next day, Mike is surprised to find Jock is double-heading with him due to popular demand. Mike has an idea and his driver gradually shuts off steam, leaving Jock to do the work. At the Green, Mike's injector fails, giving Jock another reason to pull Mike. In the end, little time is lost and Jock and Mike apologise for their antics.

### Museum-Piece:

Gordon, Henry and James are furious to discover Thomas has been chosen to represent the North Western Railway at a railway show in York. Thomas is delighted and leaves Sodor for the Mainland. However, his run is cut short when the lock on a crossing gate breaks and the wind blows it across the track. Thomas is unable to stop in time and crashes into the gate, damaging his front and rendering him unable to continue by rail.

### Not the Ticket:

A lorry is arranged to take Thomas to York. Thomas is mortified, but he enjoys traveling through the countryside from a different point of view. However, the lorry driver does not know the way to the National Railway Museum and parks the lorry in the wrong place to find a telephone. A traffic warden gives the disgruntled lorry driver a parking ticket.

### Trouble on the line:

The damage to Thomas' buffer beam is fixed in the museum's workshop, where Thomas befriends a kindly engine named Green Arrow. Thomas is later put onto a special line with barriers put up beside. The first day goes without a problem, but the next day a bag is thrown onto the line. When Thomas brakes to avoid hitting it, a child is frightened by Thomas' steam and his furious mother leaves to complain to the manager. Thomas is upset, and things are exacerbated when it is discovered his brakes are damaged. His crew, however, are happy that the crowds may have learned that engines cannot stop abruptly.

### Thomas and the Railtour:

Green Arrow leads a special railtour to the seaside. When Green Arrow returns, he tells the other engines about the large numbers of visitors. As extra trains are an impossibility, more coaches are added to the special, and Thomas is allowed to double-head the train. On a return run, Thomas sees the ground ahead has been eroded by a nearby river and warns Green Arrow to stop. Buses take the passengers home, and Thomas and Green Arrow are able to make it across the rails safely. When the Fat Controller comes to visit a few days later, he and the museum director present Thomas with a special plaque and make him an honorary member of the National Railway Museum.

### Snow Problem:

While Thomas is still at York, Percy, Toby and Daisy are left to run the branch line. One day, a snowfall on the Other Railway delays the diesel for the Express, making Gordon late at Knapford. While Daisy waits for him, the blizzard blows over Sodor, covering everything in a blanket of white snow. Daisy is unconcerned and sets off, but the snowdrifts are too much for Daisy and she has to go back. Unluckily, the snow blocks her air-intake and Harold has to take her passengers to Dryaw, but he cannot do anything for Daisy. She is left stranded for a week until the snow melts enough to allow her to be rescued and by that point Daisy has a very different opinion about snow.

### Washout:

After the snow melts, the water level in a stream near Hackenbeck rises to dangerous levels and Percy is worried. Toby brings news that the water level is dropping, to Percy's relief. Later, Henry jokes Thomas may actually be kept at the National Railway Museum and Annie and Clarabel are so upset Percy is late after soothing them; matters are not helped when he has to take on water at Elsbridge. Percy is later crossing the bridge when he hears an ominous creaking and no sooner has he crossed it than it is swept away. The line is closed while the bridge is mended and although things are back to normal after its rebuilding, Percy has always been careful while crossing it.

### Toby's Megatrain:

Toby does the shunting at Knapford Harbour while Percy takes Annie and Clarabel. There are many trucks and Toby is worried he may run out of water at some stage. One morning Mavis is unwell and is late to deliver her trucks, so Toby eventually racks up a load of forty-eight trucks. Toby, forgetting his small tank and the uphill journey, decides to pull all forty-eight trucks at once and at Elsbridge he discovers the water tower is empty. Toby's driver says they will have to go fishing like Thomas, but he is only joking and Toby goes to Ffarquhar to take on water, then runs back to take the trucks.

### Thomas comes Home:

George is doing repairs on a road near the railway and threatens to flatten the branch line as Daisy passes by. The engines are not sure whether to call his bluff, but all thoughts of George are expelled when they hear Thomas is returning in a week. On the great day, Daisy sets off with a special train, but at the crossing a traffic cone is blown under her wheels by the wind, jamming her brakes. A fitter works swiftly to repair the damage and Daisy arrives just in time to see Thomas puff proudly in.

### Out of Puff:

The North Western Railway starts using a new type of coal, which creates more ashes and gives the engines indigestion. One day, Henry cannot make it past Wellsworth. Henry's crew discover his smokebox door is bent from the hot ashes, so they make paper mache to fix the gap. Henry gets home safely, but Donald and Douglas tease him by making breathless noises in the shed that night.

### Overhaul:

Henry is due for an overhaul, so the Fat Controller arranges for him to double-head the Express with James to Crovan's Gate. James is apprehensive but feels better after they make good time up Gordon's Hill - up to the point where things begin flying from Henry, hitting James and the coaches. No one is hurt, but the debris broke a carriage window, and both crews find that a steel rim from Henry's wheel has fallen off. James, trying to make light of the situation, jokes that Henry needs to be "retired".

### Sliding Scales:

With Henry away, the others take turns at pulling the Flying Kipper. It is James' turn and he is in a bad mood. He grudgingly sets off to Tidmouth Harbour, but just before he starts, a forklift spills its load onto the rails and fish goes everywhere. It is picked up, but the oil from the fish makes James slip helplessly. It is not until men hose the rails and put sand on them that James can move again.

### Henry Sees Red:

Henry is almost ready to return to work, but the workmen have to put an undercoat of red paint on him. Before they can put green on top, an emergency at Tidmouth forces Henry to take the Express. The brakes on Henry's last coach stop the train at Wellsworth, spoiling the chances of a good run at Gordon's Hill, and Henry has to uncouple it himself. Henry, however, is determined, and when he makes it to Barrow-in-Furness on time the Fat Controller rewards him with his normal green coat.

### Percy's Porriage:

Donald and Douglas are exhausted, so the Fat Controller arranges to borrow an engine, Wilbert, from the Dean Forest Railway. Percy is disappointed to hear Wilbert may not come to Thomas' Branch Line, but forgets it when the weather becomes cold and wet. One day at Elsbridge, the stationmaster and a porter are stacking poorly-sealed sacks of oatmeal on the platform. When Percy comes in, some sacks fall on the ground, scattering oatmeal everywhere. Percy runs into the sacks and is covered in the resulting glop and Wilbert is quickly re-routed to Thomas' branch line to take Percy's place.

### Cab over wheels:

Wilbert's first job is at the lead mines. Thomas warns him to follow the rules as he disobeyed the rules once, but Wilbert, who once worked in a colliery, knows what to do and proceeds to tell the engines the story of Sixteen, a bored engine who worked at a steelworks taking trucks of slag to a place called the "tip". Sixteen wanted to go past a "danger" board and despite several warnings not to, managed to do so one wet day, attributing it to the trucks. Sixteen's fireman was told to shunt him back, but it was too late: some unsafe rails tilted and Sixteen landed on his side on the ground. He was sent to the shed in disgrace, but, luckily for him, he was bought by a preservation society and now works in the Midlands.

### Foaming at the Funnel:

There is a dairy at Toryreck. Wilbert is given the job of taking milk tankers to Knapford each morning. One day, he spends too much time talking to James at Knapford and has to take on water at the dairy. Unfortunately, he stops at the wrong hosepipe and instead of water being poured into his tank, milk flows in. Thomas takes him back to Ffarquhar and Wilbert's tank is emptied out.

### Wired-Up:

Percy returns and Wilbert is sent to the Little Western, where Duck, Oliver and the small engines make him welcome. One day, Wilbert is taking some ballast trucks to Tidmouth when the coupling gear on a truck falls off. Thinking quickly and with advice from Bert, Wilbert borrows a coil of wire and has it looped around the hole and his coupling. Wilbert gets home safely and when it is time for Wilbert to return to the Dean Forest Railway, the Fat Controller has no doubts about him.

### Birdstrike:

The Fat Controller tells the delighted engines that they will be celebrating the Golden Jubilee of *The Railway Series* this year. Gordon wants to pull the special train for the occasion, but the Fat Controller has borrowed Pip and Emma to pull the train. Gordon has no time to be upset though, because he has to leave to pull the Express. Near Henry's Tunnel, some crows are flying close to the railway. When Gordon startles them with his whistle, the birds fly too close to him, and with a bump the brakes suddenly come on. The crew eventually find a bird knocked the seal off Gordon's front brake pipe, and the train sets off again, but no one forgets the incident, and tease Gordon about it.

### Edward and the cabbages:

James is late one day and Edward hurries to make up time. Edward notes his front feels wobbly, and as they pass a cabbage patch one of Edward's bogie wheels snaps off and disappears. Nothing is said of the accident, but a surprised farmer later discovers Edward's wheel in his cabbage patch.

### Rabbits:

Rabbits have been burrowing under the stretch before Dryaw, and the Fat Controller imposes a ten mp/h limit on the stretch until something is sorted out. The day before the decision is put into effect, Thomas is puffing across the stretch when a rail tilts and he comes off. Percy takes Annie and Clarabel home and after the workmen lift Thomas up with jacks to put rails underneath, Percy pulls him back to Knapford.

### Golden Jubilee:

Henry is depressed and claims the Golden Jubilee will be a disaster. However, by the time the big day comes the Ffarquhar Branch Line and Edward's wheels are both repaired and Edward is chosen to clear the line for Pip and Emma. Unluckily, Edward and the branch line engines are about to leave Knapford when a cobweb short-circuits the signal box. They are flagged through, and the ceremony goes without a hitch, with the guest of honour, the Royal Personage, declaring the engines to be a credit to the Fat Controller.

### Speedkiller:

Rusty is given the tedious job of spraying weedkiller on the rails. Meanwhile, Rheneas has to fetch another coach after a huge influx of visitors, making him late. He has to slow down at a steep hill for some hedge cutters, spoiling his chances of a good run. Thanks to the weedkiller, Rheneas eventually grinds to a halt and slips down the hill. His crew puts sand on the rails and Rheneas makes his way up. Though the passengers have little time to enjoy the scenery at the lake, they are pleased with Rheneas' brave efforts.

### Sir Handel's Plan:

Sir Handel is jealous when Peter Sam is brought back from Wales to help with the engine shortage, and when he thinks he sees Peter Sam grinning at him from the shed, he deliberately knocks his firebars loose and is relegated to the shed. As the days pass and no one comes, Sir Handel worries he will stay there forever. When the Thin Controller finally comes, Sir Handel admits his mistake. The Thin Controller thanks Sir Handel for fessing up and arranges for him to receive some new firebars on the condition that he behaves himself. He neglects to tell Sir Handel, however, that they had only been delivered that morning.

### Dirty Water:

Peter Sam tells Kathy and Lizzie, two young holidaymakers, a story about the water on the Talyllyn Railway. He remembers that something was put to the water to enhance its flavour, but one day he found it tasted awful. His crew was unconcerned, but when he started from a station, a spray of filthy white sludge spewed out of his funnel. Talyllyn took his train, but unfortunately for him, he had to stay on a siding for the visitors. It was later discovered that too much of the special powder was put in the water, and Peter Sam got a good washout. Kathy and Lizzie find the story hilarious.

### I Name this Engine...:

There is much gossip on the Skarloey Railway about the identity of a new engine, but even the details of the naming ceremony are being kept under covers. When the day comes, and Skarloey is chosen to pull a special train to collect the guests and pull them back to Crovan's Gate. However, on the way back, a sow and her piglets stray onto the line, and the guests have to capture them and put them in their field. At last, they arrive at the ceremony, and when Mr. Hugh does the naming, he is amazed to discover the engine has been named in his honour.

### Overload:

Bertie is ill and Henrietta has to carry the workmen to the quarry all by herself, but there is not enough room and some have to crowd on Henrietta's balcony. A policeman sees the event while cycling past, and the next day pays a visit to the quarry manager to inform him of a by-law forbidding passengers to be carried on coaches' balconies. Both the manager and the Fat Controller have no ideas, but a few days later Thomas' driver sees an old coach in a garden near Elsbridge. Thomas has an idea, and shares it with the Fat Controller...

### Avalanche:

Edward is at the works when he sees a familiar-looking coach. After a conversation, the two discover they know each other from their days on the Furness Railway. Victoria, the coach, worked on a branch line running to Windermere with another coach, Helena, and an engine, Albert, who Victoria notes only ever had one accident. One snowy day after boasting about snow, Albert had stopped outside the mouth of a tunnel while collecting passengers at Haverthwaite. When he started, he gave off so much steam that he caused an avalanche so great he became buried in snow and, although he was rescued the next day, he never bragged about snow again.

### Els on Wheels:

As summer arrives, Daisy often sees grass snakes near the line. When she tells the engines about them Percy is worried, but Daisy simply thinks him silly. Then, some days later Daisy has to take some boxes up to Ffarquhar for a restaurant. One is knocked onto the platform and the cargo - live eels - is spilt onto the rails; to Daisy's horror, some wriggle underneath her wheels. The eels are rescued, but Daisy has blown a fuse and Thomas has to take her passengers while Toby and Percy make jokes about wriggly things.

### Toby's Vintage Train:

Victoria's restoration is completed and Edward takes her to Knapford, where she is coupled up to Annie and Clarabel. At Elsbridge, they are told Terence is in some trouble and go to see what the matter is. Terence, who had been building a barn, had to swerve for a boulder near the tunnel and his trailer fell down the cutting, balancing dangerously upon a tree. The trailer is secured and Thomas makes it to Ffarquhar, where Victoria is coupled to Toby and Henrietta, making a train now known as Toby's Vintage Train.

### Thomas and the Swan:

Pip and Emma arrive at the big station one day and the Fat Controller tells Thomas and Gordon that they will be running the express service to London. They soon become a success.

One day, Thomas is leaving the station by the river, when he sees something white on the bridge ahead. He and his crew think that it is a newspaper, until Thomas sees a head and a long neck emerge from the bundle. After looking at it, Thomas' crew realise that it is a swan, which has broken a wing. They place the swan in Thomas' cab and take it to the top station where a vet takes it to his surgery. A few days later, they set the swan free. Thomas is congratulated for his rescue by the Fat Controller and the other engines.

### Buffer Bashing:

Donald and Douglas are delivering ballast hoppers from the Arlesdale Railway to Tidmouth Yard for James, who is taking the trucks to a section of the mainline undergoing track maintenance. Donald moves into a siding one day, but the rails are slippery with frost and he finds himself brought to a stop by the buffers. Nobody is harmed, but the buffers are smashed to smithereens. The other engines tease Donald and tell him he should go into skating championships, but the Fat Controller does not mind, as he knows Donald could not help it. Three days later, James collects the final ballast train, while Douglas slides into the siding where workmen are just finishing painting the new buffers. Douglas' driver applies the brakes, but nothing happens and Douglas crashes straight through the new buffers. The foreman angrily splashes some red paint onto Douglas' nose, which the Fat Controller leaves on his nose as a reminder to be more careful in sidings.

### Gordon’s Fire Service:

Gordon is taking a stopping train on the main line when he sees a red glow from under a bridge. A tractor's load of hay bales had caught fire and the fire has begun spreading to the grassy banks. Gordon's crew tries to put it out, but to no avail. Then Gordon has a wonderful idea: the hose inside his cab can be used. The driver and fireman quickly get to work and soon the fire is out. The fire engine soon arrives, but when the firemen find the fire is already out, they praise Gordon for his quick thinking. Gordon is awarded the Queen's Fire Service Medal for his bravery.

### Centenary:

The engines are preparing to celebrate the centenary of the Thin Clergyman. James is chosen to go and collect the bust of the Thin Clergyman from the Mainland. He collects the bust safely and has just gone through Henry's Tunnel on his return journey when the tunnel collapses, cutting off Sodor from the Mainland. Henry and the Scottish Twins are sent to repair the tunnel. Meanwhile however, all trains have to stop at Crovan's Gate whilst Bertie and his friends bring the passengers to and from the Mainland. At Ffarquhar Sheds, Percy tells Toby that the Thin Clergyman is "broken" until Thomas explains what a bust actually is. Soon Pip and Emma, who were stranded on the Mainland, are cleared as the first train to travel through the repaired tunnel. At Tidmouth station, out of Pip and Emma's coaches steps Prince Charles. He unveils the Thin Clergyman's bust and proudly declares, "There will never be anything like the Fat Controller's Railway anywhere".

### Present Day:

The tourists asked about the other engine's stories. But Edward tells them that it will be a story for another day!

## Trivia:

* This will be probably the longest episode ever!
	+ Thomas' Christmas Party isn't a Railway Series Book, but it takes place after Mrs. Kyndley's Christmas:
	+ Henry's Horror Forest plans to adapt the whole RWS Series for this episode!
	+ Super Rescue is part of the episode!
	+ The Episodes will be released like many adaptions of the Railway Series
* Henry's Horror Forest uses WildNorWester's models of Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby for the flashbacks, But he uses the 06 models mainly!
	+ Henry is in his new shape when the events of Henry and the Elephant (like in the TV), Tenders and Turntables, Trouble in the Shed, Percy Runs Away and The Flying Kipper
