Special Attraction

"C'mon, c'mon! Why aren't you trucks where you should be?" "There's no engine and we can only go where we're put! You're in the wrong place, not us!"

- Bulstrode arguing with the troublesome trucks.

Special Attraction is the twenty-fifth episode of the fourth season.

Plot
Toby is delighted to be invited to a seaside festival as a "special attraction", but when he gets there he finds there's no room for him. Percy feels sorry for Toby, but is called away to the harbour, where a grumpy barge by the name of Bulstrode needs loading. Percy unfortunately loses control and his trucks fall into Bulstrode's hull. Bulstrode is towed to a beach for children to play in, and when Percy returns Toby is over his disappointment.

Goofs Studio equipment can be seen when Toby puffs through the seaside. When the trucks say "There's no engine and we can only go where we're put! You're in the wrong place, not us!" one has wonky eyes. When Percy's trucks land in Bulstrode's hull, Percy's wheels derail. Bulstrode must have been unloaded impossibly fast, because in one scene he has a full load of rocks, but instantly after that, his hull is empty. No reason is given as to why the tracks continued after the buffers. In a close-up of Toby at the seaside, his left window (our right) appears to be burnt. In the US version George Carlin hiccuped while doing Bulstrode's voice
