Steamy Sodor

"Sizzling Sodor! What has happened to my beautiful steamworks?"

- Victor

Steamy Sodor is the fourteenth episode of the thirteenth season.

Plot
While Victor is visiting the narrow gauge engines at the Transfer Yards, Thomas is put in charge of the Sodor Steamworks. Thomas feels very excited; so excited in fact that he doesn't listen to Victor's instructions to ask the engines about their problems or to ask for advice from Kevin.

Not long after Victor leaves, Spencer arrives and is very surprised to see Thomas in charge. Spencer needs a repaint, but Thomas thinks that Spencer needs repairs, so he tells him to go onto the locomotive hoist. Then, Henry arrives coughing and sneezing as his firebox needs cleaning out. However, Thomas thinks that some special coal will cure Henry, so Kevin collects some special coal whilst Spencer is still on the hoist. Then, James arrives with a blocked funnel, but Thomas thinks that James needs a new funnel, so he tells Kevin to collect one. But, Kevin gets so confused that he causes the load of coal he's carrying to create a moustache on Spencer's face, and worse still, Kevin accidentally turns on the hoist with Spencer still attached to it! Finally, Kevin bumps into James, who blows black soot out of his funnel, just as Victor arrives back.

Victor is shocked to see his Steamworks in a terrible mess, and Kevin thinks that, as he's clumsy, it was his fault. But, Thomas owns up that he was too excited about being in charge of the Steamworks that he didn't listen to anyone. And with much-needed assistance from Victor, Thomas puts everything right.

 * When James blows soot everywhere, Victor is dirtier than Thomas, but Thomas was closer.
 * Henry doesn't need special coal anymore. That problem was solved in The Flying Kipper.
 * There is no need for Henry to go to the Steamworks just to have his firebox cleaned out as that job is the responsibility of his fireman; also, he should've had his firebox cleaned out at Tidmouth Sheds the previous evening.
