“Those are my coaches. Give them back!”
― Thomas

Emily's New Coaches is the first episode of the seventh season.

Plot

Thomas is excited to return to the yard and wants to say hello to a new engine who has arrived. She has a brass dome and emerald green paintwork and the Fat Controller introduces her as Emily, then tells her to collect her coaches, and that she and her driver must learn the line; Thomas is very impressed.

The only coaches that Emily can find are Annie and Clarabel and her driver tells her that they are not "her sort" of coaches; but that they will do. This insults the two coaches, so Emily couples up to them and leaves the yard.

Emily puffs along with Annie and Clarabel still grumbling; as she passes Thomas, she calls hello to him, but Thomas crossly demands that she gives his coaches back to him. Emily does not hear Thomas and carries on; she also passes Edward and Percy, but they do not whistle to her, making her sad.

The Fat Controller asks Thomas to go to the Docks and pick up some new coaches. Thomas does not want new coaches because he wants Annie and Clarabel back. But before he is able to say another word, the Fat Controller tells him that Really Useful Engines do not argue.

Emily, Annie and Clarabel return to the yard, where Oliver sees her and is surprised to see her with Thomas' coaches. Emily realises that Thomas was cross because she had his coaches, and leaves to apologise. Meanwhile, Thomas is pulling two green coaches, still grumbling.

Emily arrives at a signal box where she is flagged down and the signalman tells her that Oliver has not cleared his signal box yet, and asks her to go and see what the problem is.

Emily sees that Oliver has broken down on a section of track where two lines cross each other, then hears Thomas' whistle. He sees Oliver but he knows he cannot stop in time; Emily charges and pushes Oliver across the tracks, just in time to avoid a crash with Thomas.

Later the Fat Controller praises Emily, then presents her with two brand new coaches, the same ones that Thomas has collected. She apologises to Thomas for taking Annie and Clarabel, and Thomas apologises for being cross.

Emily is now very happy to be a part of the Fat Controller's railway, ending the episode.
