No Sleep for Cranky

"Luckily, no-one was hurt!" "'Cept my ears!"

- Salty and Cranky

No Sleep for Cranky is the third episode of the sixth season.

Plot
Cranky is kept working through the day and night. When he becomes frustrated with Salty's tales, he accidentally drops a load of pipes onto the rails, knocking over a shed and trapping Salty, Bill, and Ben. Salty passes the time by telling stories to the delighted twins, but poor Cranky is unable to get any rest even when not working. When Harvey finally clears away the mess Cranky is so relieved he is polite for once - that is, until he accidentally drops some more pipes.

Goofs

 * When the narrator says, "...so cranky that he swung his arm around", a wire is used to swing Cranky around.
 * When the shed falls, Salty is actually hit by it.
 * Salty's right eye moves upwards when he says, "You’ve blown the main now, matey!"
 * When Salty says, "That reminds me of a lonely old Banks lighthouse keeper!" he shakes a bit.
 * In Salty's story it is obvious that the waves pelting the steamer are sprayed by a hose.
 * In the close-ups of Cranky, eye mechanism is visible in his cab.
 * Couldn't Cranky have lifted up the shed after it fell?
 * The Fat Controller said that Harvey would clear up the mess in the morning, but it's obvious that the shed's roof would be much too heavy for Harvey.
