Skarloey and Rheneas are two old engines, who tire very easily. So the Manager sends for Sir Handel and Peter Sam to help them; but Sir Handel is cross and rude and gets himself into trouble...

Whilst Sir Handel is shut up in the shed, Peter Sam is doing his work as well as his own - and does he love it! However, Henry says that if he is late, he'll leave his passengers behind; this makes Peter Sam worried and impatient and causes him to almost leave a passenger behind...

Trucks - Sir Handel doesn't like them and they don't like him. So, after some 'helpful' tips from Gordon, he tricks Peter Sam into doing his work which leads to a great dilemma...

Peter Sam is delighted when Skarloey returns home. He tells him about Duncan, who came as a spare engine after his accident. Skarloey would like to meet Duncan but gets to sooner than he expected!

Rusty and the men are working hard to mend the line; but there is still one bad bit, before the first station, which they haven't had time for. The little diesel tells Duncan to be careful. But Duncan doesn't like being told what to do, and so he rocks 'n' rolls along the line...with predictable results!

Ever since his accident with the trucks, Peter Sam's funnel is constantly wobbling and clanking as the winter wind ties to blow it away. When the snow and frost comes, an icicle in a tunnel brings disaster for the poor engine; until the Fat Controller presents him with a new special funnel...

Sir Handel brags about his "steamroller wheels" and boasts that he can go faster than the other engines. Tired of this, Skarloey tricks him into having a race with George, the grumpy steamroller.

Skarloey is delighted to hear the news that Rheneas is coming home from the menders. Nancy, the guard's daughter, is planning a 'welcome home' party for him; and because of this, she hasn't had time to polish Duncan. This makes Duncan very cross indeed and causes a great deal of trouble...

Duncan is still complaining about passengers being a nuisance. But Skarloey tells him just how important passengers are, when he tells the story of how Rheneas saved the railway, even though he was badly damaged.

During the springtime, a new line has been opened; it runs through fields of bluebells. Rusty thinks that what they need is a 'Bluebell Engine'. So, with some advice from Douglas, the little diesel ventures off on a journey to rescue one from 'The Other Railway'!

Stepney the 'Bluebell' engine feels sad that his line is so short, and longs for a good run to stretch his wheels; how delighted he is when he is invited to work on the Fat Controller's railway. Meanwhile, Percy and the others are excited themselves. But Thomas gets rather jealous...

Stepney is very happy with his visit to the Fat Controller's railway. But one day, whilst waiting at a signal, a cricket team's "one and only ball" accidentally falls into one of his trucks. And when he steams away, Caroline the cranky old car, driven by her Master, gives chase to try and retrieve the ball!

Stepney's visit is coming to an end and Thomas, Percy and the rest are very sorry that he is leaving. But they have other things to worry about when a big-headed Diesel comes to help in the yard and scoffs that steam engines are old fashioned. However, when a bowler hat causes delay, Duck and Stepney show him just what a steam engine can really do!

The engines are very excited with the news that a circus has come to town. But they become bored and grumpy when it is time for it to leave; however, Henry isn't bored for very long when he has to clear a tunnel of a mysterious, moving blockage...

Poor Oliver! Ever since his plight in the turntable well, the trucks, and their leader S.C.Ruffey, have been teasing him dreadfully. However, Toad the brakevan has a plan to stop their nonsense once and for all...

Daisy snorts about Toby the Tram Engine's cowcatchers and side plates, which prevent animals getting hurt if they stray on the line; she reckons that Toby is afraid himself and boasts that animals ALWAYS run "if you toot and look them in the eye". But she would have proved her point if it hadn't been for Champion the Bull!

Thomas, Percy and the others are invited to "the big city faraway" by a little girl as well as her friends who would like to meet them. However, Thomas becomes overexcited and has an accident. Will he be mended in time for the visit?

All the engines are thrilled when they hear that H.R.H, the Queen, is coming to visit their railway. But Thomas, Edward and Gordon are feeling sorry for themselves; things, however, get turned around for them when Henry accidentally gets covered with paint...

One evening, an extra load of fish has been ordered and there are instructions that extra vans must be added to Henry's train "The Flying Kipper". But the vans added are old; and they cause disaster for Duck, when he tries to help Henry up Gordon's Hill.

Toby is excited when he is invited to be the "Special Attraction" for a seaside village's parade. But his excitement turns to disappointment when there isn't anymore room for him. Meanwhile, Percy and the trucks are having a hard time with a disagreeable barge called Bulstrode...

Percy loves seeing the cheerful postman Tom Tipper driving about in his old van and helping him with his mail train. But Tom feels very sad when the Postmaster scraps his van and replaces it with a bicycle. Percy's wish to help his friend comes true - well - by accident, at least!

The Island of Sodor is in the grips of winter. Percy, complaining about his funnel being cold, wishes for a long, woolly scarf to keep it warm. He soon knows why engines never wear scarfs when he has a surprise collision with a baggage trolley...

It's holiday time and the Vicar's Sunday School is spending the day at the seaside. Percy promises Thomas that he'll get Annie, Clarabel and the children home safe and sound; but floods spell disaster for the little engine until...

The Fat Controller feels that Gordon is being worked too hard and so decides to give him a rest and let James take his place for a while: This makes James feel proud and boastful. However, his bragging soon fades when he has an unexpected run in with Toby, who has run out of water on the Main Line.

Everyone is excited at the arrival of the celebrity engine, 'City Of Truro' - all except Gordon, who sniffs at the fact that C.O.T. is a "domeless engine". However, when trying to break C.O.T.'s world record, he receives total humiliation thanks to a teasing wind.

As a reward for his hard work, Duck is given his own branch line; he starts boasting endlessly about it and Donald teases his that he quacks "as if he laid an egg!" So Duck's driver and fireman decide to play a trick on Donald - with "quacking" results!

After helping some children out of a sticky predicament, Thomas gets behind his timetable and is very late. Then things go from bad to worse when his Branch Line gets damaged by hot weather and has to be closed whilst it is being repaired. Bertie the Bus offers to takes Thomas' passengers while he shunts in the yard; and this makes the little engine worry that his passengers will forget about him.

Percy teases Thomas about the time that he got scared in "Ghost Train". But one afternoon, Percy gets stuck in a siding after a points failure and has to spend the night there, where he encounters a terrifying dragon! But will anyone believe him?

Duck and Percy are exhausted with the extra work in the harbour so the Fat Controller sends for another engine to help them. What a shock they receive when it turns out to be Diesel!

Henry's favourite place on Sodor is the forest; he loves the trees, the animals and the peaceful nature sounds. He is heartbroken when storms damage the trees and the broken timber gets cut up and turned into furniture. Luckily, help is at hand...

Gordon is smothered in mud, but refuses to be cleaned. So the Fat Controller, as punishment for disobeying orders, orders him to pull trucks, whilst James looks after the Express. But in the end, after Gordon helps James, he learns that "Having a wash down is essential to every engine."

When Gordon annoys James by saying he's not as important as him, James decides to get revenge by telling Thomas that the Fat Controller wants James to pull the express and that Gordon should pull the trucks. Confusion ensues...

Thomas and Percy pull the Post Train most nights. When the trains start to run late though, the future of the Post Train is put in jeopardy as the Post Office decide to start using Harold instead. Luckily a special passenger - and some strong winds - save the day.

James is groaning because he has to deliver trucks to the quarry. Gordon tells him that he should pretend to be ill so he doesn't have to do the job. Thomas soon pulls in and offers to deliver the trucks instead and so the two big engines slyly agree. Later, Thomas unfortunately doesn't realise that trouble is ahead just down the line and he wouldn't have been put in such a situation if it weren't for Gordon and James...

Mavis is a young diesel engine who is starting work at the quarry. Unfortunately her way of shunting is a lot different from Toby's and he gets annoyed. A bit of false encouragement from Diesel gets Mavis into trouble.

Mavis is told that she is not allowed anywhere near Toby's line, so when the trains get bigger she develops a plan for the trucks to push her there. But Toby accidentally takes those trucks and they decide to push him instead. As Toby speeds down the line, he realises that the bridge ahead is collapsing and he knows that he can't stop in time!

The Vicar is having a garden party so that he can raise money for a seaside trip for the children. Trevor is the star attraction, but Edward wishes he had something to do to help out too. In the end he helps the vicar with the posters advertising the party. Meanwhile, Bertie is teasing Trevor about being old, but Trevor has the last laugh when Bertie gets into a sticky situation.

James is chatting to Trevor about some bees who Trevor is looking after. Boco warns them to not to annoy the bees, which annoys James. The next day, some bees escape from the station and cling onto James' warm boiler... and refuse to let go!

Duck wishes he could sail to far away lands but Percy tells Duck he'd rather stay on his dry rails. So, when Duck helps Harold out in an emergency situation, he decides that Percy is right and that he would be much happier on his own rails.
