Special Funnel

"Peter Sam's said again and again, his new funnel will put ours to shame. He went into the tunnel: lost his old funnel. Now his famous new funnel's a drain!"

- Sir Handel

Special Funnel is the eleventh episode of the fourth season.

Plot
It's wintertime and Peter Sam is still awaiting his new funnel, which, in his words, will be "something special". The other engines make fun of his talk about his new funnel, and matters are only made worse when his cracked one is knocked off by an icicle in a tunnel and he has to use a discarded drainpipe for a funnel. Peter Sam's funnel eventually arrives and he discovers it makes his work easier.
