Plot


Mighty Mac is an engine with a difference - he has two faces! Mighty Mac is to take some holidaymakers up the line, but they've never left the Transfer Yards before and have to get Thomas' advice to get to the coach. But when they go up the line, they have trouble finding their way and eventually become trapped on a siding. The two work together to get their coach back on the rails and deliver the holidaymakers.

Goofs

 * Right before the coach derails and smashes into the rock, the track Mighty Mac is on has been moved so it can lead straight into the cliffside.
 * Locomotives can't just push rocks off track without some kind of plough. No matter how powerful they are, they'll just derail every time.
 * The signalman is responsible for changing the points, so how can Mac pull Mighty back to the points and push him up the other track?
 * Mighty Mac shouldn't have buffers as they could easily lock together with the buffers on the coach. Duke and Bertram have no buffers to prevent buffer-locking with rolling stock, as they came from the same railway.
