Synopsis
At the Sodor Sings Festival, humans and engines come together to celebrate a wide range of musical genres, putting on a wonderful show! With the efforts of Sir Topham Hatt, Salty's sea shanties and even a Kazoo Orchestra, there is something for everyone! As the engines go about setting up stages and running activities for the special event, they chatter excitedly about a secret surprise being held at Cronk's Crossing - what could it be? After Thomas delivers the stage lights to the festival, Nia reveals the surprise to him: the Calliope! They return to Vicarstown Square just in time for Sir Topham Hatt's opera rehearsal. However, when a singer lets out a high-pitched note that destroys the lights of Sodor, everything turns into chaos! To make matters worse, Nia loses the Calliope and goes on a frantic search for it, only to find it submerged in water. With the festival in jeopardy, Nia enlists Thomas' help to repair the lights across the island and find the perfect sound to save Sodor's Super-Secret Surprise! The vehicles can only make Sodor ring in time and in perfect harmony by working together.[3]

Trivia
- This special's world premiere coincides with the weekend before the 80th anniversary of the first publication of The Three Railway Engines, as well as the first day of the Railway Series Weekend on the Talyllyn Railway.
- Thomas' render on the official artwork for this special is reused from The Mystery of Lookout Mountain, albeit with a different face.
- The plot of this special is similar to the second series episode, Not-So-Secret Mission, as both involve the Vicarstown lights being destroyed in an accident, and Thomas having to set things right.
- Edited stock footage from the 2021 special, Race for the Sodor Cup, the third series episode, Duck Duck Whoosh! and the fourth series episode, Kana's Last Minute Delivery is used when Kana is racing to Vicarstown.
Goofs
- Farmer McColl's shirt is orange instead of yellow.
- Henry is missing his firebox and his smokebox frame is overlapping his cylinder pipe in the shot of him at Knapford.
- When Duck goes under the Suspension Bridge, he incorrectly has James' whistle sound.
- When Henry's headlamp shatters, his side cab window and top feed are missing.
- Nia and the calliope's wheels become grey sporadically throughout the sequence of the calliope becoming a runaway.
- In a few overhead shots, Gordon's running board is completely red.
