Toby's Tightrope

Toby's Tightrope is the fifteenth episode of the third season. It first aired on Shining Time Station in the episode Do I Hear? in 1991.

Plot
Mavis has been confined to the quarry and complains to Percy, who is quite unsympathetic. When a thaw increases production at the quarry, Mavis uses the chance to be allowed to go further down Toby's tramway, but gets too big for her buffers and asks the trucks to push her down the line. However, when she's away Toby comes, and they push him down the line onto a bridge swept away by a landslide, leaving only rails behind. Mavis goes to the rescue and confesses it was her fault, but the Fat Controller and the manager are pleased and allow her to travel on the branchline.
