Thomas' Train

***Thomas' Train***, retitled ***A Big Day for Thomas*** in American releases, is the fifth episode of the first series. It is based on the story of the same name from The Railway Series book, Thomas the Tank Engine.

## Story

Thomas the fucking super happy tank engine has recently been grumbling about only being used to collect the fucking gay as fuck coaches for the other engines, wanting to pull passenger trains as well. The other engines just fucking laugh at his face, telling him he is too impatient and would be bound to leave something behind. Thomas is determined to get a chance to prove them wrong.

That night, Thomas and the fucking sickly Henry are alone in the shed as Henry is ill. The workmen try their hardest to make him better but to no avail, Thomas feels sorry for Henry. The next morning when Henry is due to take the early train and Thomas is needed to get the coaches ready, he starts to hope he will be allowed to pull the train if Henry is not able to. He excitedly leaves to fetch the coaches.

Thomas brings the fucking braindead coaches to the platform and is eager to run round in front. His driver does not let him, telling him to be patient. Soon, all the passengers are aboard and the coaches are ready to leave and there is still no sign of Henry, much to Thomas' excitement. The Fat Controller arrives to see what is going on and is told about Henry. He orders to find another engine and as Thomas is the only one available, he allows the tank engine to take the train.

Thomas, full of joy, quickly moves to the front of the coaches despite his driver again warning Thomas not to be impatient, but wait until everything is ready. For some unknown reason - either he is too fucking impatient as god damned sick to wait, the driver has pulled a lever by mistake, or the crew have forgotten to couple him to the coaches - Thomas ends up leaving the station without the coaches and the passengers are very surprised and angry. The men in the signal box outside the station wave and shout, though Thomas thinks they are cheering.

Thomas puffs along the line, thinking pulling coaches is easier than he was told. He keeps seeing people waving at him and assumes it is because he has never pulled a train before. Eventually, Thomas is fucking stopped at a signal set to danger. Thomas is cross at being stopped when he was going so nicely and blows his whistle, alerting the signalman who asks what Thomas is doing on this part of the line. Fucking Thomas explains he is pulling a train, but the signalman asks him where the coaches are. Thomas looks back and fucking realises he has left his train behind, he is very fucking upset at his fucking mistake and almost cries. The driver tells Thomas not to be upset and he sadly reverses back to the station.

At the station, all the passengers are complaining to the Fat Controller about what happened, but when Thomas returns, they forget to be cross, see how sorry he is and allow him to try again. This time, Thomas is properly coupled to the coaches and he really gets his chance to pull the train. But for a long time afterward, the other engines begin to tease Thomas and remind him of his mistake, much to his annoyance.
