On the Island of Sodor, two kinds of engines help keep Sir Topham Hatt's railway running smoothly - steamies and diesels. But is the Island big enough for both? It's not always easy for these engines to put aside their differences and work together. See what happens when the diesels tease Thomas. Will Thomas come to their aid when they need this Really Useful steamie's help? And when Gordon develops some very loud squeaks and rattles, will Sir Topham Hatt retire him to the yard for good? That's what the diesels say!

Get on board with the steamies and the diesels and see how they finally learn that, from brake pipe to buffer, all engines are more alike than not.

Episodes

UK/AUS

  1. Thomas to the Rescue * - When Thomas is sent to the quarry to help out, Diesel isn't pleased to share his yard with a steam engine. However, when the diesel engines get some fuel that makes them feel very unwell, Thomas saves the day by finding some new fuel to make them all better.
  2. Henry and the Wishing Tree *** - Whilst Gordon pulls the passenger express, poor Henry is stuck with pulling freight and soon decides that he would like a change. When he sees the children making a wish at the old Sodor wishing tree, he thinks that making a wish might solve his problems but he soon realises that looking after passengers brings problems of its own!
  3. Thomas and the Tuba * - Lady Hatt is having a special birthday party with a big brass band and it's Thomas' job to collect the band and take them to the park. However, Thomas is in such a hurry that he forgets a most important passenger. He will need some help from his friends if he is to get the band there on time for Lady Hatt's special day.
  4. Squeak, Rattle and Roll * - Gordon loves pulling the passenger express, but he has noticed a strange noise whenever he starts to go fast. Will the Fat Controller still allow him to carry on working if he finds out? Gordon must do his best to hide his secret but this may not be easy on Sodor!
  5. Percy's New Whistle * - It is Winter on the island of Sodor and all the engines have to blow their whistle to let people know they are coming in the bad weather. Percy practises blowing his whistle so loudly that he scares the other engines and gets into trouble. However, his practice pays off when he has to warn Thomas that there has been a snowdrift.
  6. Thomas and the Firework Display ** - It is the harvest firework display and James is the lucky engine that is sent to collect the fireworks. Thomas wishes he could join in and help but he's been given another really useful job. However, when James breaks down, Thomas rushes to help his friend and gets to share in the fireworks himself.
