Episodes

US/UK/CZ

  1. Thomas' New Trucks * - Thomas is envious when James gets shiny new trucks, but Sir Topham soon tells him that he is also getting new trucks! James bets Thomas that he will never be able to keep them shiny. And the more Thomas tries to keep them clean, the dirtier and more troublesome they become.
  2. Duncan and the Old Mine * - Duncan is bored of pulling coal trucks, so when he sees an old disused track he follows it. But Duncan is soon stuck in the disused mine, where he discovers some freight cars full of coal. After finding a tunnel leading out of the mine he returns the coal to the Transfer Yard with Rusty's help.
  3. Thomas' Milkshake Muddle ** - It's the day of the Sodor Summer Party and Thomas had two jobs to do - collect milk to make ice-cream and to collect the butter from the far side of the island to make cakes. When he doesn't pay attention, Thomas quickly has to think of a way to ensure that he can complete both jobs on time.
  4. Mighty Mac * - An unusual new engine starts work on Sodor, with two boilers - Mighty and Mac. Mr. Percival, the Thin Controller asks them to take some holidaymakers up to a mountain campground. But they began to squabble about which way to go and accidentally crash their coach into the rocks. Mighty and Mac realise that only by working together, can they get to the campground.
  5. Toby Feels Left Out * - The Sodor Museum is opening and Sir Topham announces that all the engines are to have a repaint. But Toby wonders why he's not getting a repaint and thinks he is going inside the museum - as he's old. Sir Topham finds Toby tell him that he actually has a special polish for the grand opening as he is too useful to be put in a museum.
  6. Thomas and the New Engine ** - A new steam engine, Neville, has come to the Island. When Thomas sees Neville with 'Arry and Bert he mistakenly thinks Neville is friends with the diesels!
