Slip and Slide

"Whee!"

- Duncan

Slip and Slide is a magazine story, illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
It is wintertime and a thick blanket of snow has covered the Island of Sodor. The Thin Controller asks Madge to collect Duncan as a snow-slide is blocking his tracks. Madge is happy to help and soon has Duncan winched onto her trailer. She drives slowly and carefully, which makes Duncan think it is a very dull journey. Madge - trying to impress Duncan - speeds up and is soon sliding through the snow.

Then, Madge hits a patch of ice and loses control. Madge gasps as they skid to a halt at the edge of a steep cliff. However, she takes a deep breath, slowly reverses and they carefully inch back onto the road.

Madge drives slowly back to the sheds on the frosty roads. Duncan teases Madge once again, but this time Madge does not rise to it. Soon, they are both back at the sheds safe and sound having not skidded once.
