Feeding Time is a magazine story.

Plot
Thomas often stops at a signal by the canal where his driver always feed some noisy ducks. One day, Thomas learns that it will soon be the Fat Controller's birthday. The staff want to hold a party in the station waiting room, but Thomas has a better idea and the Fat Controller enjoys his birthday party on the Sodor Maid canal boat.
