Thomas' Train

"Why, bless me, if we haven't left them behind!"

- Thomas

Thomas' Train, retitled A Big Day for Thomas in American releases, is the fifth episode of the first season.

Plot
Thomas is bored of shunting coaches and wants to pull them, but no one takes notice of his complaining until Henry falls ill. The next morning, no one is available to pull the train and so Thomas gets to pull it. Unfortunately, he is so impatient that he starts without the train, and fails to notice until a signalman points it out to him. Thomas, embarrassed, returns and pulls the train, but for a long time afterwards the other engines tease Thomas about the incident.

 * Two clocks can be seen at Platform 1. The green clock reads 7:00; the red clock 12:00.
 * As Thomas is shunting the coaches for Henry's train, James puffs past with a passenger/goods train. Isn't Henry's train supposed to be the first train of the day?
 * Thomas' brake coach is around the wrong way.
 * The man with the blue hat and coat on the bridge is one of Thomas' passengers.
 * In a close-up of Thomas, his wheels are going at a different pace to the background.
 * When the others tease Thomas, Gordon is amongst them, but a few seconds earlier he was several hundred meters ahead.
 * In the closeup shot of Thomas puffing down the line, look at his coupling and you'll see a rope pulling him along.
 * When Thomas first shunts the coaches, the back buffers of the coach are at their normal height. A few scenes later however, the buffers were lowered to accommodate Thomas' buffers. But, in every scene after that, they're at their normal height again.
