Plot
Thomas is looking forward to a fair, but he is asked to take some chickens to Brendam.

Goofs

 * At the beginning, Thomas has Percy's whistle sound; throughout the episode, Gordon has Henry's whistle sound.
 * Farmer McColl has railway access at his farm, so there was no need for him to deliver the chickens to Dryaw station by lorry.
 * Thomas should have left the chicken at the station without waiting for the farmer.
 * It would've required more than one generator to power the funfair.
