Gordon and the Gremlin

Gordon and the Gremlin is the sixth episode of the fifth season.

Plot
Gordon has problems with his fire; Thomas suggests the cause is gremlins. The other argue about the issue until the Fat Controller arrives and informs Gordon he will be taking a special train. Although the turntable in the goods yard malfunctions too, Gordon manages to get to Kirk Ronan on time, and collects the special passenger. At Wellsworth, the passenger's Dalmatian runs away and, after confronting a bull runs away, frightened, into Thomas' cab. At Brendam, Thomas enquires about the visitor, and the Fat Controller reveals she is his mother, who then aptly renames her dog "Gremlin".
