Thomas in Trouble (Series 11)

"Something's wrong! Clangety clong! Clangety Clong! Something's wrong!"

- Annie and Clarabel

Thomas in Trouble is the eighteenth episode of the eleventh season.

Plot
Thomas has been sent for repairs and is waiting for his final inspection when Sir Topham Hatt comes to see if he's ready to collect the choir. Feeling under pressure, Thomas pretends to be ready and heads off to collect the choir without his final inspection. He soon begins to make very unusual noises, blow black smoke and later breaks down. James takes the choir for Thomas and Henry takes Thomas back to the repair yard to be mended properly.
