"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. Oliver unfortunately slips on some rails, and ends up crashing into the stomach of an enormous snowman in the middle of the village. It's too late to rescue Oliver, and 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 contrary, has changed his mind.
