Electra
This is the profile of my twenty-first "Thomas & Friends" character, who features in my idea of a feature-length musical called "The Magic Lamp".

Bio Nicknamed "the Daddy-Long-Legs", Electra works along the newly-refurbished coastal run with electrical wires above him providing the power, making him the only electric train on Sodor.

Personality Electra believes that elctric trains are better than steam engines and diesel engines, hence his participation in the race using the coastal run. He claims himself to work on alternative current (AC) and direct current (DC). After losing the race to Hiro, Electra runs away during a storm.

Basis Electra is based on the very unusual electric train with sixteen wheels, which once ran along the beaches east of Brighton, East Sussex with the tidal water surrounding it.

Livery Electra has a grey frame and grey supports with a red and cream coach body on his deck.

Trivia
 * The Electric Coastal Run (which is Electra's line) consists of four rails running along the coast, west of Brendam. Two pairs of lines are 2 foot gauge, though the total width of the line is 18 foot gauge.

Betty
This is the profile of my twenty-second "Thomas & Friends" character.

Bio Betty is a steam beam engine working at Sodor Steamworks, driving all the various machinery. She lives in a tall engine house alongside the main building. She is a wise old steam engine, who works very hard and knows well that she is very essential to Victor as she operates the machinery, though she remembers that she is part of a team.

Livery
 * Betty is painted cream with blue stripes, plus has a blue nameplate on her beam.

Basis
 * Betty is based on the beam engines designed and built by James Watt in 1865.

Shelia


This is the profile of my twenty-third "Thomas & Friends" character, who like Michelle, appears in "From Sodor with Love".

Bio Due to increasing passenger traffic on the Wild Nor' Wester express, the Fat Controller decided to build a brand-new passenger express engine, which emerged from Sodor Steamworks as engine number 15 called Shelia. A very powerful express engine, Shelia is capable of hauling the express just as well as Gordon. Though some engines think that Gordon and Shelia are rivals, deep down their boilers they are true friends.

Personality Named after the late Dr Fred Dibnah's widow, Shelia is a very cheerful tender engine, who works very hard pulling the express. Whenever the other engines feel down-hearted, Shelia is always there to cheer them up and give them confidence.

Livery Shelia carries the British Railways maroon livery with blue lining and blue wheels, plus the number 15 painted in yellow on each side of her tender and her cab sides.

Basis Shelia is a LMS Princess Coronation 4-6-2 with a sloping smokebox and without smoke deflectors.

Trivia
 * The LMS Princess Coronations with sloping smokeboxes were nicknamed "Semis" by trainspotters as they were semi-streamlined. This is quite ironic as Shelia is nicknamed called "Semi Shelia" by Gordon, Henry and James.
 * Shelia's toy model is Gordon's ERTL model painted maroon.

Veyron
This is the profile of my twenty-fourth "Thomas & Friends" character, who also appears in "From Sodor with Love".

Bio Veyron is a very powerful diesel engine, much more powerful than Diesel 10 as he has two 8-litre W16 252bhp engines from the world's fastest road car the Bugatti Veyron (hence the origins of his name). Originally built as a diesel shunter, Veyron was bought by P. T. Boomer and was modified with the powerful motors underneath his body.

In "From Sodor with Love", Veyron helps P. T. Boomer and Michelle in their hunt for Spencer, which they almost suceeded.

Personality Like most diesel engines, Veyron hates steam engines and believes that they should be scrapped. He likes going very fast, but his two powerful engines mean that his fuel efficiency is very low so he usually runs out of fuel very quickly.

Livery Veyron has yellow along each side of his body, yellow cheeks, a yellow mouth and a yellow chin whilst his nose, top half of his face, top of his body and cab are all black. Also, he has a red Bugatti logo at the rear of his cab below the rear windows.

Basis Veyron is based on the Class 08 diesel-electric shunters, like Diesel, 'Arry, Bert, Splatter and Dodge.

Trivia
 * Veyron's toy model is Diesel's ERTL model with the Bugatti logo.

Cheryl and Catherine
This is the profile of my twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth "Thomas & Friends" characters.

Bio Cheryl and Catherine are the narrow gauge compressed air locomotive twins both belonging to the Coaling Plant. They work underground in the mines moving trucks and miners about as well as up on the surface delivering coal to the Coal Wharf, where the coal is loaded into the standard gauge trucks. As they rely on compressed air to move around, they usually limited to their work. However, once they are recharged with fresh compressed air, they can move their wheels.

Personality Cheryl and Catherine are hard-working and very friendly twin engines. They have great admiration for the miners and care about all of them as well as each other. The standard gauge engines sometimes tease them for their small size, but they always prove them that they are as useful as any engine.

The Magic Lamp (feature-length musical)


Plot The story starts off where "Hero of the Rails" ended with Hiro going back to Japan. Afterwards, the Fat Controller tells Lady Hatt and his grandchildren all about Hiro. That night, Stephen Hatt goes to sleep and has a dream, which is where the musical starts....!

....Stephen Hatt is at Knapford making an annoucement about Race Night across the Island of Sodor, with a variety of locomotives and rolling stock taking part. In the rules of the race, it says for each engine to take part with either another engine or some rolling stock. Race Night consists of three heats, and each start from Brendam Docks and finish at Knapford.

Diesel 10, being big and strong, believes that he'll be able to win all the races; so too do the other diesels. To their surprise, Hiro (as a patchwork engine) says that he's taking part in the race. The diesel engines just laugh at him, seeing Hiro as too slow and too old for the race.

Hiro meet the girl engines at Knapford, and tells them that he's taking part in the race. But, they have their doubts about his ability to race as he's quite old for a steam engine. Mavis is taking the smoking cars, Emily is taking the buffet cars, Rosie is taking the dining cars and Flora is taking her tramcar. Diesel 10 comes to tell the girl engines that he's going to win, and then, Jurassic, Hector, Toad and the Tipper Trio explain to the girl engines that freight is great!

At Brendam Docks, a mysterious train is going along the coastal run at high tide; it's Electra, who'll be using his electric line to take part in the race. He warns the engines that he can shock them with his electricity.

Back at Knapford, Hiro sees Flora with no partner and offers to take her. But, Flora tells him that she has the Engine of her Dreams - a steam engine, which isn't Hiro! Flora knows that her Dream Engine always whistles at her.

In the first race, Hiro takes the Tipper Trio (Ivor, Luke and Oscar) whilst Diesel 10 takes Rosie and Toad. During the race, Diesel 10 pushes Hiro off the rails, which makes Rosie call him a cheater shortly after he wins the race. Diesel 10 gets so cross that he leaves Rosie on her own. However, kind-hearted Toad comforts Rosie.

Upon arrival back at Knapford, Hiro tells Edward that he has run out of hope, as Flora won't go with him. Edward and the Tipper Trio try to give him more confidence by telling him about Molly, who use to haul the Sleeping Train. Molly explains about her experience and only ending up in the Coaling Plant.

Edward takes Molly in Hiro's place for the second race. However, despite winning the race, Edward is too worn out, so Hiro must take his place in the final race. Remaining unconfident, Hiro is very upset. Edward and Molly cheer Hiro up by telling him about the Magic Lamp, the legendary mid-night train, so Hiro pleads for the Magic Lamp to help him.

Later, all the engines and rolling stock gather at Brendam Docks as there are rumours that Hiro is taking part in the final in Edward's place, which are true. Electra, Diesel 10 and the other diesel engines all say that Hiro has no chance, but the steam engines have plenty of faith in him.

After the meeting, Rosie is very upset as she has being uncoupled from Diesel 10, and thinks that Diesel 10 doesn't want to take her anymore. However, Molly, Mavis and Emily restore her confidence by saying that there's no need to stop now and she must keep going.

At Brendam Docks, it turns out that Toad isn't Toad; in reality, he is the Spiteful Break Van in disguise as he explains about his past of being the leader of the runaway freight trains, and he even insults Hiro by telling him that he is no real engine. This makes Flora cross and she decides to tell Stephen Hatt about the Spiteful Break Van holding engines back. But, Diesel 10 explians that, if Flora tells Stephen Hatt the truth, she'll no longer take part in Race Night. Flora feels that she is not getting anywhere closer to her dreams and visions.

Hiro goes around the Docks as he can't stand being insulted by the Spiteful Break Van and to make matters worse, the Tipper Trio snub him by saying that he was always a loser and made them losers too. So, Hiro runs away from the Docks to the Coaling Plant.

At the Coaling Plant, Hiro feels very depressed, so he pleads for the Magic Lamp to help him. The Magic Lamp turns out to be Proteus, who appears with clouds of sparkling steam. Proteus tells Hiro that only himself has the power to help you, though Hiro wants to know whether Proteus is real or not. Proteus tells Hiro that he must believe in himself again, so by magic, he transfers some of his Magic Coal into Hiro's firebox. Quickly, sparkling steam is coming from Hiro, and he now believes in himself. As Proteus disappears in spirit, Hiro promises his new friend that he won't let him down.

After seeing the Magic Lamp, Hiro hears a coughing nosie - it is Hector, who is covered in coal dust. Hiro asks Hector to come with him in the final race, which he agrees to. Back at the Docks, Rosie has had enough of the racing as diesels and electrics never whistle at her, so she on longer takes part.

In the final race, Hiro takes Hector whilst Diesel 10 takes Flora and Electra tows the Spiteful Break Van on a high-level flat-bed. Once the race starts, Diesel 10 decides to cheat again, but Flora is quick to realise this, so she holds Diesel 10 back and breaks away from him. Diesel 10 now has on rolling stock nor engine to pull, so he heads back to the Docks and uses "Pinchy" to grab Electra as he wants to use the Spiteful Break Van. However, the Spiteful Break Van comes off his flat-bed and lands right on top of Diesel 10, smashing each other in the process.

By then it is too late for them as Hiro arrives at Knapford first with Hector. Despite his victory, Hiro must find Flora. Meanwhile, Electra decides that he can't face the shame of losing to a steam engine, so he heads for Tidmouth Bay to be scrapped.

As for Diesel 10 and the Spiteful Break Van, they are brought back to Knapford Yard on flat-beds between Murdoch and Rocky. They feel they had one rock 'n' roll too many, and they are badly damaged.

Flora is heading back to Knapford, feeling very uspet as she realises that Hiro was her dream engine all the time, and thinks that it is too late to tell him how much she loves him. Luckily for Flora, Hiro arrives and tells her that he won the race, and they declare their love for each other. Together, they head back to Knapford where Hiro gets a great welcome by all the Steam Team and say he is truly "the Master of the Railway".

Rosie is surprised to see Diesel 10 badly damaged and he apologises for his bad behaviour, though he can't say sorry. Edward tells Diesel 10 that he can be rebuilt into a steam engine and become Steamie 10, but then, Stephen Hatt tells all the engines to do what they are told! All the engines tell Stephen Hatt to shut up, and then, they all sing a song about steam engines and the father of the steam engine - James Watt the Steaming Scot.

From Sodor with Love


Plot The musical starts very early one autumn morning with the Fat Controller going to Sodor Steamworks aboard his new engine number 15 called Shelia to see Emily, who is finally having the number 12 painted on each side of her cab. Afterwards, Shelia takes the Fat Controller to Sodor Diesel Works to see BoCo under going his test runs. Afterwards, the Fat Controller is to bring BoCo home for his welcome-home party.

That evening, all the members of the Steam Team (minus Emily) are at Knapford station to await the arrival of their old friend, BoCo. Meanwhile, BoCo and the Fat Controller are heading back to Knapford from the Diesel Works when they discover a length of rail in the middle of the express line. So, they follow it. As they come near to the end of the third rail on Gordon's Hill, a biker called P. T. Boomer and a black diesel engine called Veyron both see BoCo and the Fat Controller and they take them as prisoners, thinking that they were spying on their secret project.

After many hours waiting at Knapford, the party is cancelled. To make matters worse, Lady Hatt arrives, wondering where her husband is. Mr Percival, who was invited to the party, declares a state of emergency to find the Fat Controller and BoCo. Prior to the search, the Steam Team decide that Mr Percival is to be Controller of their railway in the meantime.

The next morning, Harold arrives at Tidmouth Sheds to tell the Steam Team about the third rail on the express line. All the engines are quite concerned, thinking the third rail is the future. Soon, all the engines are hard at work doing their jobs as well as searching for BoCo and the Fat Controller.

Later that morning, Whiff arrives at Knapford Yards to collect some rubbish trucks and Charlie tells him about the search for the Fat Controller and BoCo as well as threat of the third rail. Feeling worried, Whiff leaves to take his rubbish trucks to the Rubbish Yard. During his search, Whiff follows the third rail from its rail-head at Wellsworth, up and over Gordon's Hill to some overgrown sidings where he meets a biker called Michelle, who is working with Veyron and her boyfriend P. T. Boomer. Whiff sees Rosie as he leaves the sidings and warns her about the third rail, and then, carries on with his search for the Fat Controller and BoCo by going into the hills, to the wharf and the transfer yards. With hardly any coal left in his bunker, Whiff goes to Great Waterton to stay in the Tram Shed for the night.

Meanwhile, Rosie collects Annie, Clarabel and Victoria from Bluff's Cove for Thomas. Once back at Ffarquahar, Rosie tells the three coaches that she is very lonely, so they suggest to stay with Whiff for the night. So, Rosie goes to Great Waterton.

During the night, Michelle discusses her plans with all the naughty diesel engines at the abandoned station of Kirk Ronan. As well as extending her third rail, she is after one particular steam engine - Spencer the Silver Streak!

The next morning, Whiff and Rosie head back to Knapford and they are very worried about the threat of the third rail. Enroute, Michelle and P. T. Boomer speed past them on their railway trikes, so they give chase. However, their chase ends as they find themselves diverted off the mainline at Wellsworth and they crash through the buffers and come off the rails at Edward's Yard. Meanwhile, P. T. Boomer and Michelle are seeing the third rail being extended towards Knapford. However, Spencer sees them whilst enroute to Knapford and is very determined that the biker duo won't get away with their extension of the third-rail.

Harold sees Whiff and Rosie off the rails, so he finds Mr Percival, who sends Donald and Douglas to take Rocky whilst Shelia takes the flat-beds. But, taking Whiff and Rosie to Sodor Steamworks will be too much for Shelia. Luckily, Spencer arrives and quickly puts his boasting aside to help Shelia and the Scottish Twins. At Wellsworth, the points leading into Edward's Yard were jammed on with several clamps. The signalman suggests that the biker duo were responsible, and once the points are free to move, Rocky puts Whiff and Rosie onto the flat-beds between Shelia and Spencer. On route to the Steamworks, Shelia sees Veyron, who is hunting down Spencer. Quickly, the two tender engines (with Whiff and Rosie between them) puff away, so Veyron gives chase....!

Luckily for the Steamies, Veyron runs out of fuel, so they get Whiff and Rosie to the Steamworks. Emily is now back in steam, so Emily and Shelia go back to Tidmouth whilst Spencer stays at the Steamworks until nightfall, in the hope that he won't be hunted down. Once back at Tidmouth Sheds, Emily, Shelia and the Steam Team talk about the famous steam enthusiast and steeplejack, Dr Fred Dibnah MBE.

That night, Spencer heads back to Tidmouth, only to find Veyron, Diesel, 'Arry and Bert on his tracks. Spencer takes a short-cut across the marshes, but he sees the broken section of the bridge (where he had his accident before) until too late, and Spencer ends up smokebox-first stuck in the mud. The four diesel engines all drag Spencer to Kirk Ronan to be scrapped.

Meanwhile, Murdoch and Molly find the Fat Controller, BoCo and Old Slow Coach at Kirk Ronan and take them to the Quarry, though they are unable to rescue Spencer from P. T. Boomer and Michelle.

By morning, the fitters have fixed Whiff and Rosie, much to the delights of Victor and Kevin. During their steam test and final inspection, Whiff and Rosie express thier love for each other from deep inside their boilers. After their steam test, they head back to Knapford.

Back at Kirk Ronan, P. T. Boomer is breaking up Spencer, and then with Veyron, goes along the mainline to check the third rail, only to discover that Whiff and Rosie are in working order. P. T. Boomer is furious, and demands Veyron to explain why the two tank engines are still alive. Veyron sheepishly confesses that he ran out of fuel whilst he chased them! Once back at their base, P. T. Boomer interrupts Michelle's victory claim, to explain that Whiff and Rosie are still alive. Michelle tells Veyron and P. T. Boomer that they are going to hunt the two tank engines down.

Still heading back to Knapford, Rosie tells Whiff to slow down as she can't keep up with him. It's lucky though that Whiff won't slow down as E.W.S arrives with two railway trikes. Quickly, they race away with Veyron, P. T. Boomer and Michelle chasing them. At the junction to Thomas' branch line, Veyron goes too fast that he runs out of fuel again whilst the biker duo carry on to Knapford where the police takes them into custody.

Whiff and Rosie arrive at the Quarry to find Fergus, Murdoch, Derek, Hank, Hiro, Bill and Ben all there. They agree with the Fat Controller to rescue Spencer. With help from Duck, Oliver, Rocky and the Scottish Twins, BoCo gets Spencer to the Steamworks. Whiff and Rosie take the Fat Controller back to Knapford, where Lady Hatt is very happy to see her husband again. Also, Mr Percival goes back to resume his role as controller of the narrow-gauge railway.

Many weeks later, the third rail is removed on the express line. BoCo's welcome-home party takes place at Knapford station, with Whiff and Rosie as the guests of honour. Spencer arrives at the party, with a round face as his streamlined door is yet to be fitted and a blue boiler. But, all the engines on Sodor and the Fat Controller are happy that the railways on the Island of Sodor will always be proper railways!

Guess Who Sees You?


Plot The Fat Controller's Steam Team (Thomas, Edward, James, Donald, Douglas and Murdoch) are the kind and friendly engines on Sodor whilst the Thin Controller's 08s (Diesel, 'Arry, Bert, Splatter and Dodge) are rude and very devious.

One day, the Fat Controller borrows a saddle tank engine from the Lead Mine called Percy to work with Thomas, whilst the other members of the Steam Team, except Murdoch, go to work before bringing in Emily the Beautiful Engine in the afternoon. Thomas meets Murdoch at the Coaling Plant who is taking coal to the Smelters, and then, a small green saddle tank engine bumps into his bunker, who turns out to be Percy.

Doing the same work for the Thin Controller, Diesel and Bert find out from Neville that Emily has arrived earlier than expected. Meanwhile, Thomas and Percy deliver fuel to Mavis at the Quarry. At Wellsworth station, Neville tells Donald that Emily has already arrived. So, Donald tells the Fat Controller; the Fat Controller tells James; James tells Edward; Edward tells Rosie; and Rosie tells Thomas and Percy, who return to Tidmouth Sheds. But, there is no sign of Douglas, so Edward tells Thomas and Percy to find him, whilst Edward, Donald and James have to bring Emily in on their own.

Thomas and Percy arrive at a signalbox, close to an old branch line where the signalman tells them that two diesels pushed Douglas down the old line. The two tank engines investigate and realise that Splatter and Dodge pushed Douglas and his goods train down the old line, and then, he went cab over wheels down the embankment. Thomas and Percy plan to collect Rocky, but Douglas tells them to carry on with the job of bringing Emily. So, Thomas and Percy go back to Wellsworth.

At Wellsworth station, the Steam Team are doing their best, however Diesel has other ideas. He races down Gordon's Hill and bumps into Percy, who bumps into Emily's tender, and as a result, James and Donald go too fast through the yard. Unexpectedly, 'Arry and Bert stop them and the Steam Team had to accept the 08s' assistance. Percy feels so ashamed and confused that he runs away from Wellsworth. Unbeknownst to Percy, the Steam Team or the 08s, Neville had being watching the whole incident.

At Knapford Sheds, the Thin Controller and his 08s are quite sure that they'll get Emily's contract, and they are quite sure that no one saw Diesel pushing Percy.

At Tidmouth Sheds, whilst some fitters are examining Douglas after his accident, Thomas feels sorry for Percy and decides to go and find him. But, James thinks that Percy caused the accident. Thomas goes off into the mist and finds it hard to find Percy; especially because whenever Percy hears Thomas' voice, he hides thinking that Thomas won't forgive him.

Thomas carries on searching for Percy when he meets Daisy with Murdoch at the junction outside Knapford station. At Wellsworth station, Thomas finds Neville, who tells Thomas what he saw - Neville saw Diesel coming down Gordon's Hill and bumped into Percy, causing him to bump into Emily's tender. Thomas isn't surprised as he felt that the 08s were up to something, so he heads back to Tidmouth.

Once back at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas wakes up the other engines who were fast asleep, and tells them the information he got from Neville, and he explains that Percy isn't a clumsy engine at all though he hasn't found him. Edward suggests that Percy might've gone back to his home - the Lead Mine. So, Thomas heads for the Lead Mine with James and the Scottish Twins following him.

By dawn, they arrive at the Lead Mine to find Percy down an old mine shaft. Percy wants to be left alone as he still feels bad for causing the accident, but James tells him that they've found out that it wasn't Percy's fault at all, much to the surprise of Thomas; an apology from James was unbelievable. However, Donald realises that he forgot to speak Neville after the important job.

Later that day, the Thin Controller is furious that Diesel was seen pushing Percy, and not even a sorry from Diesel, Bert and Dodge make things better.

A few days later, the Fat Controller speaks to his Steam Team and explains that they have learned from Thomas a valuable lesson of trust and friendship, and not to jump to conclusions before knowing the truth. Then, Percy arrives from the Sodor Steamworks as good as new and the Fat Controller announces him as their new recruit.

Trucks Today, Gone Tomorrow


Plot A new fuelling plant is being built with the Sodor Construction Company in charge. After a good day's work, Thomas is sent back to the new fuelling plant to deliver some fuel tankers. Thomas isn't happy as Splatter and Dodge are on the same job, and sure enough, they tease Thomas until Thomas tells them to be quiet, and then, Splatter tells him to park the fuel tankers by the old petrol station, which he does.

After parking the trucks, Thomas notices something green not too far away and thinks it is Trevor, so he calls out to it but gets no reply. Once Percy arrives, Thomas remembers that he's tired so they head for home and Toby the Tram Engine passes them saying "good night", and they reply by saying "good night" to Toby.

That night, a mysterious steam engine arrives at the old petrol station and steals Thomas' fuel tankers and slips away into the mist. The next morning, Splatter and Dodge arrive at the old petrol station to find no fuel tankers there. So, they go to speak to the Fat Controller. They find Thomas, enroute to meet the Fat Controller too, and they accuse him of not delivering the fuel tankers. But, Thomas reminds them that they saw him with the fuel tankers. Just as Thomas and the two diesels blame each other, the Fat Controller tells Splatter and Dodge that he has already recieved a complaint from Miss Jenny, so the two diesels go back to work.

The Fat Controller scolds Thomas for not delivering the fuel tankers, but Thomas tries in vain to explain that he did his last job of the day. The Fat Controller doesn't believe him and puts Thomas on rubble detail at the old brickworks with Ned the Steam Shovel. Upset and very hurt inside his boiler, Thomas goes to the old brickworks with some trucks.

At the old brickworks, Ned tells Thomas that everyone is talking about his (Thomas') missing fuel tankers, even Toby had heard about it. Just as Ned starts loading the rubble into the trucks, Percy arrives and tells Thomas that the Fat Controller has another job for him - more work with the 08s! Thomas goes to the Smelters to collect some steel pipes to take to the Fuel Depot. 'Arry and Bert tease Thomas about taking cargos which will disappear. After making his delivery to the Fuel Depot, Thomas returns to Tidmouth Sheds and Edward, James, Percy and the Scottish Twins feel very sorry for him.

That night, as the Brass Band are performing at Arlesdale End Cafe, Toby finds it hard to sleep, so he decides to puff around the railway and arrives at the Fuel Depot where he sees the mysterious steam engine stealing Thomas' load of steel pipes. Toby is worried about who it could be, but all that time the mysterious steam engine is busy, stealing other trucks of important loads.

The next morning, the Fat Controller and the Thin Controller have a meeting at Tidmouth Sheds about the missing trucks. The 08s still blame Thomas for stealing trucks, but Douglas tells them to be quiet. Quickly, a plan is made to set a trap: That night, all the engines will be out in pairs around the Island maintaining silence to keep a good look-out for the thief. Also, flat-beds will be erected with flares, so that once touched, they will trigger off catching the thief out.

Meanwhile, Toby is puffing around the railway, still looking for the mysterious steam engine. Whilst he stops for more coal and water, Toby sees Thomas and Percy heading for Ffarquahar. They tell him about the plan to catch the thief, which will take place tonight. So, Toby carries on searching. Whilst looking around the hills, Toby finds some old tracks leading towards Culdee Caves. At the entrance to the caves, Toby sees the tracks and a road going into the side of the mountain, so quietly he goes inside. Inside the caves, Toby spots the mysterious steam engine, who is called Oliver and isn't the thief at all. The real crooks are two devious dump trucks called Max and Monty. They are using Stepney the Bluebell Engine as a ransom to make Oliver steal trucks for them, otherwise they'll scrap Stepney. Toby realises the situation, but luckily he wasn't spotted so he heads out of the caves. Also, Toby realises that the plan to catch Oliver is a mistake, so he must find Thomas and Percy at once.

That night, the plan to catch Oliver is put into action. James is alone at Brendam Docks until Donald arrives, accidentally biffing into Hector in a siding. James is less than impressed to have the clumsy engine with him. At Wellsworth, Splatter and Dodge are parked up to keep a good look-out. At Ffarquhar, Thomas and Percy are keeping a good look-out when Toby arrives to tell them about Oliver, Stepney and the real crooks Max and Monty. At first, Thomas wants to catch Oliver to prove his innocence, but now, he, Percy and Toby must find Oliver before all the other engines do. Unfortunately for them, Splatter and Dodge see them coming through Wellsworth, and they decide to follow the steamies, still thinking that Thomas is the thief and he is going to steal some more trucks.

After Max and Monty cover all the stations and signalboxes as part of their escape plan, they return to Culdee Caves. Unknown to them, Thomas, Percy and Toby are hiding in some sidings to "catch" Oliver. When Oliver arrives at the sidings, Thomas blocks his way. Oliver tells Thomas all the whole situation and Thomas agrees to help him to catch Max and Monty.

Suddenly, Splatter and Dodge arrive, though they don't see Thomas, Percy, Toby and Oliver hiding in the sidings just off the main track. Thomas has an idea; if Splatter and Dodge go inside the Caves, they'll get caught out by Max and Monty. So, Thomas tells Toby to go the sidings close to the Caves and save Stepney if the crooks leave their hide-out. Splatter and Dodge go inside the Caves and find the missing trucks - and they are quickly spotted by Max and Monty. Terrified, the two diesels race out of the Caves with Max and Monty (using their small railway wheels attached to their bumpers) chasing them. Once Max and Monty leave, Toby is able to go and rescue Stepney. Thomas, Percy and Oliver wait until Splatter and Dodge pass them, and then, they race out of the sidings and all three block the points, trapping Max and Monty.

At Brendam Docks, Donald thinks something is going on and reverses out of the siding, and despite James' warning, he accidentally sets off all the flares on the flat-bed. In the morning, James and Donald go to Wellsworth where they take Max and Monty to be scrapped by Oliver's orders. Oliver, Thomas, Percy and Toby have recovered all the missing trucks as well as Stepney, so Oliver takes Stepney back to his home, the Bluebell Railway. Murdoch arrives and tells Thomas that the Fat Controller has forgiven him and is sorry for blaming him in the first place. Thomas is happy to have proven his innocence, and then, Toby goes back to Arlesdale End for a nice long rest.

Then, Thomas sees Splatter and Dodge and he thanks them for their unexpected assistance. Percy teases the diesels for being scared, though Splatter tells him that they weren't scared at all. But, Splatter accidentally sets off some flares on a flat-bed, making them very scared and they run away. Thomas and Percy find this to be a great joke!

Whale of a Diesel


Plot The Steam Team and the 08s are working together delivering a variety of fish to Norramby where a new Aquarium is nearing completion, being built by the Sodor Construction Company.

At Brendam Docks, whilst waiting for Cranky to unload some tropical fish, Edward and Douglas see Splatter hauling a big heavy whale inside the huge water tank on his flat-bed. Edward and Douglas offer to help him, but Splatter refuses any assistance as he was told to take it on his own, so he leaves for the Aquarium. Just as Splatter leaves, Billy arrives with trucks full of ropes, fuses and dynomite. Edward and Douglas want Billy to keep away from them, knowing how dangerous his cargo is.

Diesel is feeling excited, as he's being given the important job of taking the Mayor of Sodor to the grand opening of the Aquarium that evening. However, he remembers that the Steam Team are delivering the fish too, which means that they'll be at the grand opening as well as the 08s. Putting his important job first, Diesel decides to divert the Steam Team away from the Aquarium. After crossing the old dam, Diesel tells the signalman that the dam route is "blocked" and the other engines must go the other way. So the signalman changes the points and Diesel carries on to collect the Mayor, and he even hides in a siding when he hears an engine coming towards him, unaware it is Splatter.

Splatter passes the signalbox, going onto the "diverted" route which climbs a steep hill. Suddenly, Splatter's wheels slip as the rails are slippery and his flat-bed is heavy, and then, he splashes deep into the water above the dam, causing water to get inside his diesel motor. Luckily though, the big whale's water tank isn't broken and the flat-bed is still on the rails. However, Edward and Douglas arrive behind Splatter, closely followed by James and Percy.

It seems that Splatter and four members of the Steam Team are trapped, but Edward and Percy remember that an old mine tunnel is underwater to the edge of the dam. Unsure of how to get there, Edward, Douglas and James set to work to get Splatter out of the water whilst Percy goes back to the Docks for help.

At the Aquarium, all work had stopped as the whale and the other fish hadn't arrived, so the Fat Controller and Mr Percival agree to prospone the grand opening until Splatter and the other engines are found. Thomas takes the Fat Controller to help searching for the steam engines, and Harold helps too.

At Brendam Docks, Percy finds Billy who still has his dynomite in his trucks. Billy decides to use it to blow up the old dam, though Percy thinks it'll be too dangerous. Back above the dam, Percy arrives with Billy, who explains his plan. Billy goes back to the signalbox and goes along the other track towards the dam.

Before setting his dynomite up, Billy sees Harold and he tells him about his plan to free the other engines. Harold checks first to see if there's any settlement alongside the dried-up river. Luckily, there isn't, so Harold tells Billy that his plan can be put into action. Once the dynomite is set up, Billy reversed off the dam and started his countdown, unaware that Diesel was heading towards the river bridge below the dam.

Also, Diesel was unaware that the grand opening of the Aquarium was prosponded. Once Billy shouted "FIRE!", the dam exploded with water rushing out of it, finding it's course again along the river bed. Just as Diesel was crossing the river bridge, he runs out of diesel fuel - and now, the water is rushing below him, causing the river bridge to creak and groan. Suddenly, the bridge breaks from the rails, and Diesel, still on it, floats along the river towards the waterfall. Diesel, crying for help, goes over the waterfall and hits the rocks at the bottom very hard.

Once the water was clear off the old mine tunnel, Splatter, Edward, Douglas, James and Percy head through the water into the tunnel with the water following them. Once out of the very wet tunnel, Splatter, Billy and the Steam Team laugh at Diesel, stuck on the rocks below the waterfall. Just then, Thomas arrives with both controllers. Diesel tells the Fat Controller and Mr Percival about his foolish idea to trap the Steam Team, just so that he can collect the Mayor of Sodor. Both controllers punish Diesel by leaving him on the rocks until after the new Aquarium is opened, and they decide that Billy, as reward for helping the engines, will take the Mayor to the grand opening.

The next day, the new Aquarium is completed, and Billy brings the Mayor to the grand opening. The following day, Donald and Douglas take Rocky to rescue Diesel and take him to the Diesel Works for repairs. Diesel had learnt that he only trapped himself instead of the Steam Team!

Silent Engines


Plot Winter had come very early to the Island of Sodor, bringing the fog with it. With reduced visibility, all the engines find it very difficult with the lights at signals, signalboxes and stations the only things they can see.

One night, Douglas makes his way home from Great Waterton, having worked with Ned the Steam Shovel all day on removing old bricks to make way for a new signalbox. Unfortunately for Douglas, Ned told him a story about the Silent Engines - railway ghosts, who don't chuff like steamies nor roar like diesels. Close to an old tree in the creepy forest, Douglas hears a strange whisper getting louder. Quickly, he carries on down the line.

Once clear of the forest, Douglas stops at a red signal at a rail-crossing where he hears a bell ringing. At first, Douglas thinks it's Toby coming, but it isn't. Instead, seven tenderless engines each with six driving wheels pass in front of him. Douglas thinks that they are the Silent Engines - the railway ghosts that Ned told him. Once the signal changes to green, Douglas charges into the fog feeling very scared. At the Rubbish Yard, Douglas meets Whiff, Hector and the narrow gauge engines. Rusty is going to tell them a story about Proteus, but Douglas thinks that Proteus was another railway ghost, so he sets off for home before Rusty can tell his story.

After meeting Oliver and Stepney at Knapford station, Douglas arrives back inside Tidmouth Sheds, facing towards the back of his berth. Still scared, Douglas blows his whistle in fright, waking up the other engines. Edward and Donald ask Douglas to tell them why he's scared. Once on the turntable and back in his berth facing his friends, Douglas tells them about the Silent Engines. Thomas, Percy, Donald, James and Edward are all quite doubtful about Douglas seeing the Silent Engines. In the morning, the Fat Controller gives his engines their tasks for the day and he tells Douglas to stay in the sheds as he came home late the previous night and deserves a rest. Whilst most of the engines give Douglas a hard time about his "ghosts", Edward reminds him thatt the fog plays funny tricks on them.

That evening, after helping Whiff and Hector with their rubbish collecting, Donald heads back to Tidmouth. However, the signalman diverts him off the mainline into a siding, making Donald quite puzzled. But then, the seven tenderless engines pass him, and, at first, Donald is unsure what they are - but then he remembers what Douglas said and now believes his twin - he's just seen the Silent Engines for himself. After the Silent Engines pass him, Donald leaves the siding and heads back to Tidmouth Sheds.

At Wellsworth station, Neville is getting steam up to go to the Sodor Steamworks himself with assistance of the fog. Suddenly, Diesel, who is on duty to help engines lost or broken down in the bad weather, arrives and teases Neville for going to the Steamworks on his own. Neville asks Diesel to take him to the Steamworks for £50, but Diesel refuses saying that not even £500 is enough to haul Neville. Diesel carries on with his work when he hears a bell ringing in the distance, thinking it's Hank ringing his warning bell. But, it turns out to be the Silent Engines coming towards him. The Silent Engines even pass Neville giving him quite a scare, and then, Neville sees a red light coming straight towards him, giving him a bump - it's Diesel, who had shifted into the wrong gear! After their fright by the Silent Engines, Diesel decides to take Neville to the Steamworks after all.

At the Sodor Construction Company's base, Edward delivers coal and fuel for the vehicles, and after speaking to Jack and Alfie, he sets off for home. Edward goes off the mainline and heads towards the creepy forest as the new signalbox is yet to be built. Also, he hears a the sound of steam engine - it turns out to be Ned working at Great Waterton, loading up trucks full of rubbish for Whiff the following day. Ned complains to Edward that he startled him, and then, Edward decides to carry on heading for home; but not before he and Ned see the Silent Engines coming through Great Wateron.

James is making his way home too after helping Mighty Mac with delivering logs from the sawmills to the Wharf. After getting frightened by Bertie crossing the level crossing, James sees some glowing lights and then he sees the Silent Engines. Rather scared, James decides to stay in a nearby siding, thinking he is miles away from Tidmouth Sheds.

After taking Emily to Brendam Docks, Thomas and Percy are on the Bluff's Cove branch line taking diesel fuel to Daisy, but it is very hard going. Suddenly, they hear ice breaking, and then, they too see the Silent Engines. Weridly, they see an old warship coming out of the water, and then, lightning strkies the old warship whilst a ghostly face with a white ship captain's hat appeared from time to time. Thomas and Percy are very scared, so scared that they carry on with their work, believing that they were seeing things the whole time.

The next morning, the fog had burnt off by the sun, and Toby, arriving back from a night shift at the Quarry, wakes up James still asleep in the siding. Toby teases James for "losing his way" in the fog when he was only 500 yards from Tidmouth Sheds. With Toby's help, James gets back to Tidmouth Sheds and he tells the other engines about the Silent Engines, saying that Ned's ghost story was true. Just then, Murdoch arrives and explains to his friends about what they really saw in the fog. The "Silent Engines" were the Electric Engines masquerading as steam engines, on loan to the Maritime Museum. The people at the Museum wanted to find an iceberg, which had an old warship frozen inside it - the very same warship which Thomas and Percy saw coming out of the water near Bluff's Cove. After Bill and Ben pass by taking the old warship to the Maritime Museum, the Steam Team feel very silly. But, they never forgot about the fog, which nearly set them crazy!

The 08 Hero


Plot A very strong wind is blowing across Sodor, making Harold and Jeremy grounded at the Airport; so, Hank (belonging to the Fire Service) is busy on patrol. At Brendam Docks, Hank sees Diesel 10 along the dockside, and quickly heads to Wellsworth and he warns Stanley that Diesel 10 is on Sodor. Knowing Diesel 10's criminal past, Stanley heads for the Docks.

At Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas and Percy are awaiting their next tasks after delivering the mail when Caroline arrives with the Fat Controller as his car was damaged by a tree. The Fat Controller tells Thomas and Percy to take some empty trucks and Rocky to a landslide beyond Maithwaite station, which has buried Ned.

Enroute to Ned's rescue, Thomas and Percy are waiting at a red signal when the strong wind cause the level crossing gates to swing open just as 'Arry comes down the line as his signal is green. Luckily for 'Arry, Thomas warns him and the diesel engine stops just in front of the gates.

Just outside Brendam Docks, Diesel 10 is heading out onto the mainline when Stanley arrives to block the diesel's path. Diesel 10 sees Stanley and gives him an extra hard shunt, which as a result, Stanley crosses the points and crashes into a siding full of old trucks. Diesel 10 carries on along the line until he sees 'Arry, who is looking out for any goods or passenger trains that require shelter from the strong wind. Diesel 10 tells 'Arry to take him in, but 'Arry is worried as Diesel 10 is a crook, however he has no choice but to help the big diesel engine.

Diesel 10 tells 'Arry to take him to the abandoned Boulder Quarry, and then, sends him to collect diesel fuel for him. Diesel 10 warns 'Arry to obey his orders otherwise he'll be sent to the Smelter's Yard. Very scared, 'Arry gets on with his work, leaving himself in a terrible situation. Many years ago, Mr Percival and Diesel 10 were friends; but then, something went awry between the two crooks and Mr Percival never wanted any of his 08s to work with Diesel 10 again otherwise they'll be trouble. Understanding the consequences, 'Arry knows he can't tell Mr Percival that he's helping Diesel 10.

Whilst trying to figure out his problem, 'Arry see Thomas, Percy, Rocky, Jack, Alfie, Ned and Nelson all in trouble. Rocky is lifting Ned clear of the landslide, but the strong wind is spreading dust everywhere. Percy and Alfie ask 'Arry to help them, so with 'Arry's assistance, Rocky lowers Ned onto Nelson's low-loader whilst Jack and Alfie clear away the landslide.

After a long journey, 'Arry arrives at the fuel depot and collects a large fuel tanker for Diesel 10, unaware that James was watching him as he is on fuel deliveries and is quite curious about 'Arry taking some fuel. 'Arry delivers the fuel tanker to Diesel 10 at Boulder Quarry, and then, he goes back to work even though Diesel 10 wants him back that evening.

Elsewhere on Sodor, Donald finds Douglas at the water-column and tells him that, according to Mavis, Murdoch has "City of Truro" and his passenger train in tow. It's quite a hard job as "City of Truro"'s brakes are jammed on, so Murdoch is using his ejector to keep the vacuum brakes off. Donald and Douglas set off to find Edward, and then, they'll help Murdoch with "City of Truro".

Enroute to Brendam Docks, 'Arry hears a voice shouting for help - Stanley's voice. 'Arry sees Stanley stuck amongst the old trucks in the siding. Stanley tells 'Arry that Diesel 10 pushed him, but 'Arry tries to pretend that he doesn't know Diesel 10 at all. Anyway, he takes Stanley to the Sodor Steamworks for repairs. Stanley tells 'Arry that either way he will be in trouble for bringing in Diesel 10.

After helping Stanley, 'Arry arrives at Maron station where Diesel delivering new tiles for the station roof. Diesel is very cross to see 'Arry as he is supposed to be answering distress calls but was helping Thomas and Percy instead. But, 'Arry sees the Steam Team in trouble and decides to help them. Murdoch is pulling "City of Truro" and one half of his passnger train with Thomas and Percy pushing from behind. Hank is pulling the other half of the passnger train with Edward and the Scottish Twins pushing behind. Despite their best efforts, the strong wind was getting the better of them. Hank, Edward and the Scottish Twins get to the top of Gordon's Hill whilst Murdoch and "City of Truro" are sliding back downhill as Thomas and Percy lose their momentum. Luckily for Murdoch, "City of Truro" and the two tank engines, 'Arry arrives and pushes behind Thomas and Percy. Together, the five engines get up and over Gordon's Hill. Once at Wellsworth, the Steam Team say "thank you" to 'Arry as the diesel engine leaves. Diesel, having arrived from Maron along the valley route, is very confused about 'Arry helping the Steam Team.

After a long journey, 'Arry arrives back at Boulder Quarry and Diesel 10 starts telling to do some more dirty work when they hear a long low whistle - it's Murdoch! Murdoch asks 'Arry about Diesel 10 as, like Stanley and Hank, he knows that Diesel 10 is up to no good and suggests to 'Arry that they'll had him over to the Gentlemen of the Railway Board, who like to have a word with Diesel 10. Diesel 10 tries to escape, but 'Arry reverses back to the points and blocks Diesel 10. The Railway Board get hold of Diesel 10, who decide to send him to the Smelters to be scrapped.

As the wind finally drops, Thomas and Percy are on their way to their final job of the day when they see 'Arry taking on fuel. Thomas and Percy thank 'Arry for helping them and Thomas suggests to 'Arry to join the Steam Team. But, 'Arry refuses as he is still an 08. However, 'Arry showed that everyone must have a good streak in them somewhere - even 08s!

Pannier Problems


Plot One night, after delivering the mail, Thomas and Percy are heading back to Tidmouth Sheds when they see a Great Western Pannier Tank Engine stuck on the express line, just east of Wellsworth station. The Pannier Tank Engine tells Thomas and Percy to keep away, but Thomas and Percy decide to help as the Pannier Tank Engine is blocking the express line which must be kept clear. The Pannier Tank Engine says that he is a bad luck engine; in the old days, he was called Montague, but when he was sold to a coal mine he was renamed Duck, and since then, he's being bad luck. As Thomas pulls away with Duck in tow, the coupling snaps behind him and he jerks forwards. Thomas thinks that Duck broke the coupling, but Duck tells him that the coupling chain is still attached to his own coupling hook. Percy tells Thomas that this is the first sight of bad luck he's seen. Thomas runs round Duck and couples up behind him, and then, the three tank engines set off for Tidmouth Sheds.

By morning, Thomas and Percy bring Duck to Tidmouth Sheds and the Tidmouth Yard Manager telephones the Fat Controller, who is at Knapford station. When the Fat Controller arrives, it turns out that Duck had run out of coal so Percy collects a firelighter, and very soon, Duck is getting steamed up. With plenty of steam in his boiler, Duck pumps his pistons and Thomas blows his whistle twice in excitement, and all of sudden, steam is hissing from Duck's cylinder block and his fire goes out. Also, two tyres on the Fat Controller's car burst. The Fat Controller tells Thomas to take Duck to the Sodor Steamworks for repairs, and he tells Percy to take him to Knapford station.

Thomas and Percy take Duck along the mainline to the Sodor Steamworks until Duck's right-side side-rods breaks and damages his water tank. Nevertheless, Thomas and Percy carry on taking Duck to the Steamworks which they get their in the evening. Edward and Douglas are there waiting for their final inspections whilst Victor guides Thomas, Duck and Percy to the transfer table in front of the Steamworks. But then, the transfer table moves away from the mainline connection and Thomas ends up going smokebox-first into the transfer table well. As a result, Thomas requires repairs as well as Duck.

Inside the Steamworks, Victor feels sorry for Thomas, but he is quite annoyed about Duck being badly damaged even though Duck explains that it is all cases of bad luck. Kevin thinks that Duck must be joking. A few days later, Thomas and Duck are both mended and the Fat Controller sends Duck to help the 08s with delivering munitions from the old Sodor Naval Base to their new site at the old docks of Brendam. As the job is very dangerous, Duck and the 08s are carrying red "DANGER" flags. On his way to Ffarquahar, Thomas sees Duck with the 08s and he blows his whistle twice to give Duck good luck. But, just after Thomas' whistling, Duck's munition trucks explode so he quickly stops. Bert quickly finds Hank who uses his fire-truck called H.2.O to put out the flames. After making their deliveries at Brendam Docks, Duck leaves the 08s.

At the Quarry, Percy tells Mavis that he's figured out what is causing Duck's bad luck - Thomas' whistle. Mavis tells Percy that he must find Thomas before he meets Duck again. Once his stone trucks are arranged by Mavis, Percy sets off to take his train to Wellsworth Masonry. At Bluff's Cove Junction, Percy meets Thomas waiting at a red signal and tells him his theory about Duck's bad luck. Thomas is quite shocked and refuses to believe that he is causing all the trouble for Duck just by blowing his whistle. By chance, Duck arrives from Brendam Docks and Percy tells Thomas to blow his whistle twice, which he does. Shortly afterwards, Thomas tells Percy that blowing his whistle twice was a stupid excerise. But, a signal frame falls down and blocks the line. Quickly, the signalman phones for help and Harvey comes to clear up the mess. Afterwards, Percy finishes his delivery and Thomas gets his passnegers to Bluff's Cove.

The next morning after sending his engines to work, the Fat Controller makes Thomas, Percy and Duck stay behind to tell them that BoCo needs help with a very heavy goods train, which he thinks is a very easy job for Duck and nothing will go wrong. Thomas and Percy take Duck to Wellsworth where BoCo is waiting with Toad at the back. Together, BoCo and Duck get the heavy train moving towards Gordon's Hill. Thomas and Percy hope that nothing will go wrong this time and they head back to Knapford to do some shunting.

Later that day, Thomas and Percy are shunting trucks at Knapford Yard with Edward and Douglas when Hank comes rushing through with H.2.O behind him. They hope that this emergency has nothing to do with Duck, but unfortunately it is. Hank arrives back at Knapford Yard with H.2.O, Duck, Toad, the goods train and a badly damaged BoCo. Duck tells Thomas and Percy that lightning struck BoCo damaging his diesel motor, but Hank thought that Duck was going too fast and sparks came out of his funnel. Edward and Douglas are quite doubtful that there would be lightning in very sunny weather.

At last, the Fat Controller has had quite enough of Duck' problems and makes a decision. He sends Percy to take Duck to the Steamworks with his strict instructions for Duck "is never to be a tank engine ever again, no matter what". A few weeks later, the Fat Controller orders his two tank engines to collect Duck and take him to the Sodor Museum. Thomas and Percy arrive at the Steamworks, thinking that Duck had being dismantled to be scrapped. But, to their surprise, waiting for them was a tank engine with the left side of itself cut away - it was Duck! Thomas and Percy realise that Duck is now a sectioned engine and they take him to the Sodor Museum, which is Duck's new home. Rocky places Duck inside the Museum Cafe and all the Steam Team blow their whistles. Suddenly, a flagpole falls down and Thomas apologises that he's caused bad luck for Duck again! But, Duck tells Thomas and Percy that his conversion into a sectioned engine has cured his bad luck. Thomas and Percy are pleased and they go back to their usual jobs whilst Duck has found his ideal place at the Sodor Museum, and he is very happy there because the bad luck had gone.

Cruel Summer


Plot It is summer on Sodor, and this year it is very very hot. But, work had to go on despite the heat wave. Stanley arrives at Brendam Docks to inspect some engines that arrived from the Mainland. Salty tells Stanley that Gordon had just returned to Sodor after helping his famous brother Flying Scotsman. Stanley goes along the coastal route which was blocked off at Wellsworth as engines returning to Sodor were staying there. After passing Fergus, Derek and Class 40, Stanley finds Gordon and tells him to put up his yellow flag like all the other engines parked there. Gordon wants to go to Knapford, but Stanley tells him once again to put up his yellow flag and leave it up until he examines him later.

At Tidmouth Sheds, the Fat Controller is concerned as Thomas and Percy are running late and he needs them to take H.2.O the Fire Wagon to Great Waterton. Edward kindly offers to do this job despite the fact that his valve gear is troublesome. So, after Edward leaves, the Fat Controller gives James and the Scottish Twins their orders for the day, and then, he drives back to Knapford station. The Fat Controller is quite worried about Edward; Bill and Ben, who belong to the Scrap & Cash Company, are always looking for old engines that they can buy cheaply and they've already made the Fat Controller an offer for old Edward.

Fours hours later, the Fat Controller is about to go home to have his lunch when Thomas and Percy arrive. Their delay was due to the post van at Maron was late becuase it had a flat tyre. The Fat Controller tells them that he'd sent Edward to do their next job, and sends them to join the other engines at Brendam Docks waiting for Mainland Engines getting clearance in quarantine. Also, he tells Percy to bring in Gordon, but Percy knows that Gordon is a bossy engine.

Up in the hills, Edward is taking H.2.O to Great Waterton going downhill towards the town. Unknown to Edward, Freddie is taking slate trucks from the Transfer Yards to the Wharf, heading for the rail-crossing. Edward goes past the Water Works, heading towards the rail-crossing too. Suddenly, just as Edward comes to the crossing, he sees Freddie racing towards him going too fast. Luckily, Edward reverses and clears the crossing, just as Freddie misses him by a few inches! Edward tries going forwards, but his valve gear doesn't respond as he wanted to and he starts going backawrds very fast. H.2.O sees Flora leaving the station and warns Edward, but too late. H.2.O knocks Flora off the rails at the points. Luckily, no one was hurt. Edward says sorry to Flora for knocking her off the rails even though it wasn't his fault.

Soon, Hank and Harvey arrive with Rocky whilst Thomas and Percy pull Edward out of the way. Also, Toby arrives with Henrietta to collect Flora's passengers. Once Flora is on the flat-bed, Hank leaves with Flora and Rocky for the Steamworks. Percy, meanwhile, had left to carry out his job at Brendam Docks to bring in Gordon.

That afternoon, the Fat Controller returns to Knapford station only to find Bill and Ben wanting to talk to him again about Edward, but he still refuses to sell Edward to them for scrap.

Upon arrival at Brendam Docks, Thomas and Edward see James, Diesel and Splatter still waiting. Then, Stanley arrives to tell tham that there is no need to await for clearance on Derek and Class 40 as they are quarantined due to contaminated oil inside thier diesel motors. Thomas knows that the Fat Controller won't be pleased to hear this, and James remarks that they've all come for an all-no purpose. But, Diesel decides to take a look for himself, leaving Splatter to find go back home. Thomas, Edward and James are very suspicious as they know that Diesel knows that Percy is to bring in Gordon. So, Thomas and Edward decide to stay at Brendam Docks to keep a close watch on Diesel whilst James goes back to Tidmouth Sheds.

At the very end of the blocked coastal route, Percy keeps a good distance away from Gordon. But, as Percy sees Gordon, Gordon pulls down his yellow flag even though he hasn't yet being examined nor being given clearance by Stanley. Gordon tells Percy to take him to Knapford, but Percy is quite confused about Gordon's actions and decides not to bring him in as he won't risk being quarantined alongside an infected tender engine for forty days.

Just outside Brendam Docks, Diesel spots Percy coming back along the coastal route and asks him if there's anything new to bring in. But, Percy tells him that there's nothing to bring in at all. Diesel starts teasing Percy, thinking that the small green engine has come to Brendam for nothing to do. Percy explains his job is secret; but luckily, Thomas and Edward come alongside the two engines and Percy tells them that Gordon was flying a yellow flag, which pulled down just as he arrive. Diesel, believeing that Gordon has beinbg cleared, races away to bring in Gordon. But, Thomas gives chase too, determined to beat Diesel to it. Edward gives chase to Thomas, telling him to stop. But, Edward's chasing results into his valve gear pushing his piston rods and pistons too far forward and his cylinder end covers come off, causing steam to leak everywhere! Edward tells Thomas that Gordon is awaiting exmaination for clearance in quarantine, but Thomas explains that Percy saw the flag come down, which means Gordon's being cleared. However, when Percy mentions that he didn't see Stanley come alongside Gordon when the flag came down, Thomas realises that he could've being quarantined. As for Diesel, he pulls alongside Gordon to bring him in.

Later, Thomas and Percy bring in Edward to Knapfrod station where the Fat Controller is with James ready to leave with the Express. Thomas tells the Fat Controller about Edward's bravery. Then, Bill and Ben arrive and suggest to the Fat Controller to put Edward for sale for £150. But, the Fat Controller decides that Edward isn't going to be scrapped by Bill and Ben; instead, he sends Thomas and Percy to take Edward to the Sodor Steamworks for a complete overhaul, which will include new pistons and new valve gear. Edward is very grateful, and the Fat Controller sends James on his way with the Express as now they've got to raise money for the overhaul.

Back at the coastal route, Stanley is very surprised and cross to see Gordon about to go leave with Diesel, and orders him to put up his quarantine flags back up. Diesel is puzzled, but nevertheless, he is now inflected and Stanley tells him to put their quarantine flags up quickly. Diesel and Gordon are now in quarantine for forty days, which makes them new scrap prey for Bill and Ben!

Flat-Beds!


Plot Winter has come to Sodor and this year, there's a big freeze and deep drifts. The narrow gauge engines are stuck inside their shed as the snow is very deep outside. Madge can't get any firewood to them as the roads are very icy. But, the Wharf Manager knows that the logs need to brought down from the Logging Station and an old factory requires demolition. So, Madge tells Harold, who in turn, tells the Fat Controller about the important work at the Logging Station and the demolition job at the Wharf. So, the Fat Controller sends the newly-repaired Charlie to work with Douglas, Percy and Billy at the Logging Station, and sends Edward, Donald and James to take Oliver the Excavator to the Wharf for the demolition job.

Enroute to the Logging Station, Charlie meets Thomas with Annie and Clarabel at Brendam Docks, who are going to the Sodor Carriage Works for repairs. Charlie tells Thomas that he and Billy are brothers and they love having fun. But, Thomas reminds Charlie that being Really Useful is more important than having fun. However, Charlie is too excited to listen and sets off for the Logging Station.

At the Logging Station, Douglas, Percy and Billy are working hard arranging the flat-beds when Charlie arrives for work. Billy is happy to see his brother Charlie that they start playing games, leaving Douglas, Percy and Rocky to do the work. The Manning Wardle Brothers go to the top of the hill just outside the Logging Station and they race downhill. But, as the rails are icy, their wheels slip and they accidentally biff the loaded flat-beds, which causes them to roll out of the yard and speed down the track heading towards the Wharf.

Thomas, having delivered Annie and Clarabel to the Sodor Carriage Works, see the runaway flat-beds racing down the hill. Quickly, Thomas spots Bertie along the road and tells him to warn Edward, James and Donald about the runaway as the roads are much shorter than the railway. As soon as Bertie sets off for the Wharf, Billy and Charlie leave the Logging Station to try and catch up with the runaway flat-beds whilst Thomas, Percy and Douglas carry on with arranging the other empty flat-beds.

Bertie goes down the icy roads as quickly, but as safely as he could. Very soon, he overtakes the runaway flat-beds and reaches the Wharf in plenty of time. Bertie tells Donald, James, Edward and Oliver about the runaway logs. Donald decides to stop the runaway at the Wharf, which makes Edward confused. Donald sees the old factory that's due for demolition, which is at the end of a siding. So, Donald tells the signalman to switch the points towards the siding. The signalman tries to move the points, but the points are jammed. Realising that his plan won't work, Donald decides to take a risk. He tells James to couple up behind him and Edward to push Oliver (still on the flat-bed) behind James. Together, they head outwards from the Wharf and reach the hill just beyond it. Quite quickly, the runaway logs arrive downhill, on the same track as the engines. Using their brakes and Oliver's heavy weight, the three tender engines stop the runaway logs on the hill. Then, very slowly, they take the train to the Wharf.

Once back at the Wharf, Oliver is about start demolition when Billy and Charlie arrive. They apologise for their trouble, and they agree to help Oliver whilst Edward, James and Donald arrange the flat-beds for unloading into the barges. Soon afterwards, Douglas, Thomas and Percy arrive with the remaining loaded flat-beds. Once all the jobs are done, the Wharf Manager thanks the engines for their help.

That evening at Tidmouth Sheds, Billy and Charlie apologise for their behaviour to the Fat Controller and the Steam Team. But, the Fat Controller and the Steam Team forgive them, and the Manning Wardle Brothers agree that being Really Useful is more important than having fun.

Danger Bridge


Plot Tidmouth Docks is under restoration as Brendam Docks has being sold to the Sodor Navy, so Salty, Arthur, Rosie and Rocky are working hard to get the job completed on time, even it means that the Steam Team have to put up with the noise every night. But one night, James is the only engine to complain about it, much to the annoyance of Edward, Percy and Donald.

The following morning, Douglas returns to Tidmouth Sheds covered in coal dust as he'd being busy at the Coaling Plant all night. James is quick to tease to Douglas by calling him "a moving sack of coal", and then, he teases Donald for working with Whiff and Hector. But, James' teasing ends when the Fat Controller arrives and gives him the job to collect rubbish from the Wharf with Hector and Mighty Mac. James is furious that a smart red engine like him should take rubbish trucks. However, after a little argument with the Fat Controller, James leaves Tidmouth Sheds to do his work. Percy tells Edward that James works as hard as all of them, which Edward agrees to, though James sometimes gets too much work. Then, the Fat Controller tells Edward to collect the new beam from the Ironworks and take it to the Sodor Steamworks and Percy to help Thomas rescue the children trapped at Bluff's Cove School by the very hide tide. Once Percy and Edward leave, the Fat Controller tells the Scottish Twins that their job is the most important as they are competing for the Docks Removal Contract against the 08s. After a quick washdown, Donald and Douglas set off for Brendam Docks.

At Bluff's Cove School, Thomas is with Annie and Clarabel whilst Percy arrives with some more coaches. The very high tide had flooded thre school trapping the children and their teachers inside. The Sodor Lifeboat Services were working hard with their inflatable boats to rescue them.

At Brendam Docks, Cranky is busy loading the dockside equipment which is going to Tidmouth Docks. However, Cranky is staying at Brendam as he's being sold too, to the Sodor Navy. 'Arry and Bert are already there, collecting some heavy sections of crane parts. Just then, Donald and Douglas arrive. Bert tells them that there is no work for them and they've got no chance as it is three against one. But, Donald points out that there's only two 08s doing the job. However, 'Arry tells Donald that they count himself on thier side as they know that Donald always gets in the way. Soon, 'Arry and Bert leave with their heavy loads, and Douglas listens to Bert's diesel motor, realising that it doesn't sound too healthy. Cranky had overheard what the 08s said and hopes that Donald and Douglas will get to Tidmouth Docks before them. After collecting their loads and recieving a call of good luck from Cranky, the Scottish Twins set off on their journey.

Further up the line from Brendam Docks, 'Arry and Bert have stopped as Bert's diesel motor is steaming. However, Bert has an idea; ahead of them is the track that goes over the mainline, which Bert thinks will lead to Farmer McColls and get them to Tidmouth Docks much quicker than the mainline. 'Arry agrees as the track is single-lined, Donald and Douglas can't pass them if they follow them. So, the 08s take their "short-cut". However, when the Scottish Twins arrive, they realise that 'Arry and Bert are going in the wrong direction as their "short-cut" leads up into the hills and to the Wharf. They blow their whistles to tell them to come back, but 'Arry and Bert don't listen. Donald and Douglas carry on along the mainline, knowing that they'll win the Docks Removal Contract.

'Arry and Bert are soon up in the hills, not realising that they are going in the wrong direction. Not far way from them is the very low old iron bridge which carries the narrow gauge railway, and coming towards them from the opposite direction on the same track is James pushing some rubbish trucks and Hector whilst Mighty Mac are on the narrow gauge line which goes alongside the standard gauge track. As they near the old iron bridge, Hector sees the 08s and tells James to stop in the passing loop. Once in the passing loop, James tells the 08s to back first, but the 08s refuse and decide to challenge James to see who get past first. After a quick countdown from five, both James and 'Arry go forwards towards each other. But, Hector notices 'Arry's load of crane parts are too high. Listening to Hector's warning, James goes back to the passing loop whilst Mighty Mac back up away from the bridge. 'Arry is delighted that James has backed up, but Bert sees 'Arry is going to hit the very low iron bridge with his high load and warns him to reverse quickly. But, it is too late as 'Arry goes under the bridge and his high crane girders hit the bridge with a clang!

'Arry and Bert uncouple their loads and go in opposite directions to get help. But already, there is trouble as James hears Duncan's whistle and he's heading for the bridge. Then, an idea flew into James' funnel. If James can get the crane girders under the bridge, it could prop it up whilst Duncan crosses it. Using Hector and his rubbish trucks, James pulls the crane girders under the bridge and Duncan soon arrives. Mighty Mac and James tell Duncan to go slowly, which he does as he feels the bridge swaying as he goes across it. Luckily for Duncan, the bridge stays up. However, just as Duncan's slate trucks clear it. The crane girders collapse under the strain and falls in pieces onto 'Arry's flat-bed. Suddenly, the old iron bridge is now very weak and falls down into the gorge below. To make matters worse, Mighty Mac can hear Rusty coming. James worries that they can't save Rusty, but Hector has an idea. He tells James to push under the narrow-gauge railway. Getting the idea, James pushes the rubbish trucks and Hector until Hector is in line with the narrow gauge railway. Rusty arrives at the broken bridge and plunges into Hector's load of rubbish. James and Mighty Mac congradulate Hector for his brilliant idea to save Rusty and James promises never to complain about the smell of rubbish again.

Meanwhile, Thomas and Percy have rescued all the children at Bluff's Cove School and taken them home; Donald and Douglas have delivered the dockside equipment to Tidmouth Docks; and 'Arry gets into trouble by Mr Percival for damaging the very low old iron bridge. As a punishment, 'Arry and Bert are sent to start work on mending the bridge with the narrow gauge engines.

Bossy Boiler


Plot The Sodor Navy have bought Spencer from the Duke and Duchess of Boxford to run their naval yard at Brendam Docks. Spencer is very bossy, so bossy in fact that he believes that all engines must carry out his orders.

Early one morning, Murdoch brings in the newly-restored barge, the Queen of Sodor to Brendam Naval Yard. Once uncoupled, Murdoch is about to leave when Spencer pulls up alongside and tells Murdoch to wait for his inspection. But, Murdoch ignores Spencer as he takes orders from the Fat Controller. On his way out of the Naval Yard, Murdoch meets Edward and Harvey, who are replacing some rails in a siding. Like Murdoch, they've being bossed about by Spencer. Just as Murdoch sets off to back to Tidmouth Sheds, Spencer passes by and reminds Edward and Harvey to get the repairs done quickly. Then, without permission, Spencer sneaks out of the Naval Yard to boss another engine about, which he does by telling Hank to carry out fire practises; but Hank too ignores Spencer and a signalman tells Spencer to go back to the Naval Yard as the Admiral has an important job for him.

At Tidmouth Sheds, the Fat Controller warns his engines to keep a good distance away from the 08s as they are collecting explosives for the Sodor Navy. Donald is given his daily rubbish detail, and James is quick to remark that Spencer will be bossing them about, which Donald jokingly suggests that James will do the rubbish detail instead. Thomas, Percy, and Douglas find this funny, but not to James. The Fat Controller quickly tells James to leave - it's work with Might Mac as usual for him. Then, the Fat Controller tells Thomas and Percy to go with Molly and Rocky to Knapford Beach to lift Bulstrode, whom is to be sent to the Naval Yard by Thomas; and then, Percy and Molly are to finish the work on the old narrow gauge iron bridge (which was damaged by 'Arry and Bert in the previous episode). Also, Douglas is sent to Tidmouth Docks to finish the restoration work.

Amongst the hills of Sodor near Peel Godred is the Sodor Munition Factory, which is where the 08s are collecting explosives for the Sodor Navy. As it is a very dangerous job, all the diesel engines are wearing red "DANGER" flags and Mr Percival has put Diesel in charge. Like the Steam Team, they know best to ignore Spencer's orders. Bert leaves the factory first with his trucks full of explosives, and then, 'Arry leaves closely followed by Diesel. Knowing how dangerous their job is, the 08s are being extra careful.

At Knapford Beach, Rocky lifts Bulstrode onto Thomas' flat-bed, and then, Percy and Molly take Rocky to fix the iron bridge near the Wharf. After a long journey, Thomas is taking on more water when Spencer arrives and tells Thomas to move out of his way and biffs his flat-bed very hard on purpose. Bulstrode is cross as he could've easily fallen off and Thomas tells Spencer to be careful too. But, Spencer is cross with Thomas as he refuses to obey his order and goes on and on saying how "undiscipline" Sodor Engines are, and as Bulstrode is for naval purpose, he can biff him if he wants to. He even goes on to the extend that he'll send Thomas to be scrapped if he doesn't make his delivery on time. Still bossing Thomas about, Spencer leaves and his fuel tankers scrape Bulstrode's flat-bed. Thomas is annoyed with Spencer's bossy attitude, considering him to be worse than the 08s.

By nightfall, the 08s have safely arrived at the Naval Yard with the munition trucks. After 'Arry's and Bert's trucks are unloaded, Cranky is unloading Diesel's trucks when Spencer arrives with his fuel tankers. Quickly and hastily, Spencer tells Diesel to move his munition trucks out of the way as he wants his fuel tankers unloaded first. But, Edward warns Spencer that trucks being unloaded can't be moved. Diesel agrees with Edward, but Spencer becomes even more bossy and tells Cranky to stop unloading Diesel's trucks. Just then, Thomas arrives with Bulstrode. Thomas tells Spencer that he has got orders from the Fat Controller, but Spencer ignores him and starts pushing his fuel tankers towards Diesel's trucks. Edward warns Spencer to stay back as Diesel's trucks are unsafe. But, once again, Spencer ignores him and then, his fuel tankers biff Diesel's trucks very hard, causing some munitions to spill over and catch fire! Spencer tells the engines to stay where they are. But, Diesel, knowing how dangerous his cargo is, moves out of the way, so too does Edward. Thomas tries to move, but Spencer is blocking the points. Thomas tells Spencer to move, but Spencer can't; one of his piston rods have snapped after he rammed the trucks. Thomas decides to help Specner, though Edward and Diesel warn him to get himself clear, so too does Cranky. Quickly, Thomas pulls Spencer back from the trucks and then pushes him out of the way, leaving Bulstrode by the dockside. All the while, the fire is spreading as the munitions explode. Thomas moves Spencer round to the back to the Dockyard Shed where Edward, Diesel, 'Arry and Bert are sheltering. As the fire spreads, Cranky is in trouble as his dock is start to sink. Suddenly, Cranky falls over and plunges into the waters of the harbour. Also, the Queen of Sodor is now in danger as she is full of munitions.

Up in the hills, James and Mighty Mac see flashes of light in the sky coming from Brendam, thinking that there is a party going on. Suddenly, Hank, Percy and Molly pass by with H.2.O and other fire-fighting trucks enroute to the Naval Yard. James wants to help, but Mighty Mac still haven't finished their work at the Wharf arranging their slate trucks. Also in the hills, Donald, Hector and Whiff see flashes of light in the sky too. Hector thinks it's a red sky at night, shepherd's delight. But, Donald knows that the sun went down hours ago and the flashes are coming from the south - not west. Quickly, Donald sets off to the rescue.

Back at the Naval Yard, the fire continues to spread and suddenly, it reaches Bulstrode. Thomas knows Bulstrode is still full of fuel even though he's being on Knapford Beach for many years, so he decides to push Bulstrode out onto the mainline. Edward tells him not to do it as he's worried that if Bulstrode blows up, he'll take him with it! Just then, Percy, Molly and Hank arrive with the fire-fighting trucks. Hank asks who's responsible for starting the fire, and Edward tells him that Spencer did.
