Thomas and the Special Letter

"Thomas and the Special Letter" is a fourth season episode.

Plot
Thomas is surprised to see the engines travelling to Tidmouth Sheds, and follows to get to the bottom of the matter. It turns out the first eight engines have been invited to London by a little girl eager to meet the engines, and the others are to do their work. Thomas is paired with Oliver to show him his branch line. Thomas is feeling excited and boasts about his race with Bertie, unluckily crashing through the buffers and into a wall. The workmen race to repair Thomas in time for the trip, and manage to do so just in time, making the trip a success.
