Cool Truckings

"Cool Truckings" is an episode only released on the "Engines and Escapades" DVD, considered to be part of the eleventh season.

Plot
Thomas has arrived at the Transfer Yards to collect some coal, but snow has blocked the line and Duncan is unable to shunt the coal trucks into place. Madge offers to take him to the other side of the yards, and Duncan is winched up. While driving through the countryside, Duncan complains that the journey is boring and Madge is too slow, so she speeds up and drives up a bumpy country lane. Duncan is delighted when Madge starts spraying snow everywhere, even more so when they approach the top of the hill and run down, but ice has covered the road ahead and Madge slips onto the edge of a cliff, hanging dangerously above the line. Luckily, she is able to reverse back onto the road and they make it safely home. That night, Madge arrives at the sheds to find Duncan has told the other engines, and she sprays the delighted engines with snow.
