Horrid Lorry

"Well, well, well! The Brothers Grim: Smashed, Broken, and Sunk!"

- Thomas

"Horrid Lorry" is the second episode of the fifth season.

Plot
The engines are puffed out and so three lorries are brought to help out. Unluckily for the engines, the three lorries are incredibly self-centred and rude; but, of course, they get their comeuppance in due course: one falls off a cliff-face, one is overloaded with flour and one reverses into the sea. Thomas is swift to coin the name "the Brothers Grim" for the three.
