Scaredy Engines

"The ghost engine is after meee!"

- Thomas

Scaredy Engines is the twelfth episode of the sixth season.

Plot
One Halloween, after Edward tells the other engines a story of a ghost engine that returns to the Smelters in search of his lost whistle, Thomas, Percy, and Duck are sent to collect a special from the smelters. Thomas delights in teasing Percy about Edward's ghost engine and, when an engine is needed to get another load, Duck volunteers Thomas. Thomas is not so confident when he is all alone, and when he runs into some chains and sets off a whistle, he is petrified and runs away.

Percy is concerned when he cannot find Thomas at the Halloween fireworks display and goes looking for him. He eventually finds Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds and forgives him for his teasing, and they both agree everyone can be scared some of the time. The two, happy to be friends again, watch the fireworks together.

 * Despite their appearances in the episode, Henry, Gordon and James do not appear in the name-board sequence at the end of the episode in the Japanese dub.
 * This is the first time Thomas & his friends went to the Smelters Yard on Halloween Night. The second was in the eighth season episode, Halloween.

Goofs

 * Duck's eyes are wonky during the whole episode.
 * In the scene of James and Toby at the beginning of the episode, they are both parallel to each other, but in the next shot where it shows the fireworks, James and Edward have been moved forward.
 * In the rear shot of Percy and Duck arriving at the castle, a red wire is visible underneath Duck.
 * A steam platform is visible on Percy's track when he puffs out of the shed and in one shot of him working at the smelter's.
 * In the overhead shot of Duck at the Smelter's Yard, the hole for his lamp iron is clearly visible on his running board.
 * In the US version, it is said that Thomas sets off an old steam whistle long before he actually does.
 * Between leaving Callan and arriving at the castle, Duck gains a lamp.
 * In the shot of Thomas saying "There's no such things as ghosts," the tracks next to him are clear. However in the next shot up close and him reversing, there are trucks next to him on both sides.
 * While at the Smelter's Yards, the engines have their voices echoed, but when the narrator goes, "'Please sir,' he said. 'I'm sure Thomas wouldn't mind staying,'" there is an echo on "he said" when there should not be.
