Looking Splendid

Plot
Gordon and James are extra shiny after being given a special polish, ready for the holiday trains. When Gordon and James see Thomas shunting coal trucks, they boast that they'll be the best engines for the holiday trains. This makes Thomas very cross, and Percy feels sorry for him. After Percy tells the Fat Controller about Thomas, the Fat Controller agrees to give Thomas a wash and polish too. So, Thomas goes to the Works to be cleaned as well as Annie and Clarabel. Later that day, Thomas arrives pulling a special holiday train for the children. Thomas has proved that a useful engine can look as grand as any engine.
