Spring Special

"It's a real flower mill now!"

- Thomas

Spring Special, later retitled Spring Time Special, is a magazine story.

Plot
Thomas is taking the "Spring Time Special" along his branch line. At the windmill, Harvey is unloading the new sails. Unfortunately, the sails accidentally damage the windmill and it is due to be re-opened that afternoon. Luckily, Thomas remembers the garden centre on his branch line, so Edward collects flowers and takes them to the windmill to cover up the damage. At the grand re-opening of the windmill, Thomas jokes that the windmill is a "flower mill".
