Snow Engine

"Just an observation, Mr. Oliver: snow is wonderful." "Pah!"

- Toad and Oliver

Snow Engine, retitled Oliver the Snow Engine in American releases, is the fourteenth episode of the seventh season.

Plot
Oliver hates the snow and is upset when he has to take a special to a mountain village. On the way there, he sees some children building a huge snowman. Unfortunately, Oliver slips on the icy rails and ends up crashing into the stomach of the children's snowman. It's too late to rescue Oliver so, when the children see Oliver, fast asleep, the next morning they think the snowman has grown eyes in its tummy.

Nowadays, Oliver appreciates the snow. Toad, on the other hand, has changed his mind.

Characters

 * Oliver
 * Toad
 * Sir Topham Hatt
 * Stephen Hatt
 * Duck (does not speak)
 * Bridget Hatt (cameo)

Trivia

 * In the UK version, when Oliver slides into the siding, he has Gordon's crash theme from the sixth season, then it quickly changes to Oliver's theme in a fast mode, and then changes again to the accident theme.
 * Stock footage from Thomas and Percy's Christmas Adventure is used.
 * The little boy is Stephen Hatt.

Goofs

 * Toad was facing in the opposite direction from Oliver, but when Oliver derails he slides up alongside him.
 * The snowman should have melted, as Oliver's boiler would've still been hot.
 * Throughout the episode, Oliver is missing his right (our left) lamp iron.
 * It would have been impossible for the children to build the snowman that high, especially not in one day.

Quotes

 * Toad: Is there a problem, Mr. Oliver?
 * Oliver: Yeahhhhhhhhhh! (crashes into snowman) There is!
 * Toad (sliding side-on alongside Oliver) That could have gone a little smoother...
