Steam Roller

"Steamroller" is a fourth season episode. It first aired on January the 14th, 1995.

Plot
Sir Handel has recently had new wheels fitted and he claims he will be better than the others with his trains. Skarloey, attempting to bring Sir Handel down to size, tells him of an anti-railway steamroller named George, whom Sir Handel vows to sort out. Sir Handel is later bringing a special train home when he meets George on the alongside road, making it near impossible for him to pass. After the steamroller refuses to move aside, the two have a shouting match which ends when George crashes into Sir Handel's train. The next day, a fence is put up and George leaves. Sir Handel claims credit, but is cut down to size when some boys start lauding him with his race with the roller!
