Thomas, Percy and Old Slow Coach

"You said that the countryside runs got you all fired up, James, but I didn't think you meant it in this way!"

- Percy

Thomas, Percy and Old Slowcoach is the sixteenth episode of the fifth season.

Plot
One day at the scrapyards, Thomas and Percy meet an old coach named Old Slow Coach. The two resolve to find a use for her, and leave. Later, Thomas and Percy see fire coming from near the sheds. They race over to find that the workmen's hut has caught fire too and that the fire trucks are out of water. Thomas and Percy allow the firemen to use the water from their tanks, but the workmen's hut is gutted. The two suggest that the workmen live in Old Slow Coach while the hut is being mended.
