“The ghost engine is after me!”
― Thomas

Scaredy Engines is the twelfth episode of the sixth season.

Plot

One Halloween, after Edward tells the other engines a story of a ghost engine that returns to the Smelters in search of his lost whistle, Thomas, Percy, and Duck are sent to collect a special from the smelters. Thomas delights in teasing Percy about Edward's ghost engine and, when an engine is needed to get another load, Duck volunteers Thomas. Thomas is not so confident when he is all alone, and when he runs into some chains and sets off a whistle, he is petrified and runs away.

Percy is concerned when he cannot find Thomas at the Halloween fireworks display and goes looking for him. He eventually sees Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds and forgives him for his teasing, and they both agree you can be scared some of the time. The two, happy to be friends again, watch the fireworks together.

Locations

Trivia

  • The ghost engine uses either Donald or Douglas' model, minus the tender and nameplate.
  • A few of the firework explosion sound effects at the end are absent in the US version.

Goofs

  • Duck's eyes are wonky during the whole episode.
  • In the rear shot of Percy and Duck arriving at the castle, a red wire is visible underneath Duck.
  • A steam platform is visible on Percy's track when he puffs out of the shed and in one shot of him working at the smelter's.
  • In the overhead shot of Duck at the Smelter's Yard, the hole for his lamp iron is clearly visible on his running board.
  • In the US version, it is said that Thomas sets off an old steam whistle long before he actually does.
  • Between leaving Callan and arriving at the castle, Duck gains a lamp.
  • In the shot of Thomas saying "There's no such things as ghosts," the tracks he is in between are clear. However in the next shot up close and him reversing, there are trucks next to him on both sides.
  • While at the Smelter's Yards, the engines have their voices echoed, but when the narrator goes, "'Please sir,' he said. 'I'm sure Thomas wouldn't mind staying,'" there is an echo on "he said" when there shouldn't be.

Quotes

  • Thomas: What's that up there?! Is it a spook?!
  • Percy: It's just a piece of twisted scrap... isn't it?!
  • Duck: It was naughty of Thomas to tease you, Percy.
  • Percy: He was only playing. I hope he hurries up; I wouldn't want him to be late for the fireworks.
  • Thomas (racing past): He's after meeeeeeeeeeeee!
  • Duck: I don't think he'll be late!
