Episodes

 * 1) Percy's Big Mistake - When Percy overhears Sir Topham Hatt talking he can just amke out the words 'Percy' and 'scrap'. Oh no! He's going to be scrapped! He doesn't realize that what Sir Topham had said was that he'd decided that after collecting scrap from the smelters, he was going to let Percy carry the mail all week. Percy decides to run away. Thomas is sure Percy isn't going to be scrapped. With Thomas' support, Percy plucks up the courage to ask Sir Topham what his next job is. When Percy finds out the truth he promises never to jump to conclusions again.
 * 2) Gordon and Spencer  - When the Duke and Duchess come to the island, they bring Spencer, their own private engine. Gordon is very sad, he's not the fastest or the grandest engine anymore. But when Spencer runs out of water, Gordon comes to the rescue. Suddenly Gordon feels special again.
 * 3) Thomas, Emily and the Snowplough - It's winter on Sodor. Emily is happily telling Thomas what to do and how to do it. Thomas becomes fed up with Emily's interference and decides never to listen to Emily again. The next day, The Fat Controller comes to the sheds. It's going to snow and all the engines must have their snowploughs fitted, but Thomas has already left for the quarry. The Fat Controller tells Emily to go and tell Thomas to report to the fitter's yard. Emily finds Thomas and orders him to go to the fitter's yard. Thomas doesn't like wearing his snowplough. He pretends that he can't hear Emily and carries on with his jobs. Suddenly the weather changes and snow begins to fall and Thomas finds his wheels begin to slip. Before he knows it, Thomas is all but snowed in and is without his snoplough. Suddnely Emily arrives to rescue Thomas. Thomas is sorry that he didn't listen to Emily, and Emily is sorry for not telling Thomas that the snowplough was the Fat Controller's idea.
