James is a mixed traffic engine, he can pull passengers and freight cars. But one day he was boasting to Gordon about how useful he was, Gordon said he wasn't useful if he pulled goods trains, so James said Sir topham hatt had plans for him. Thomas was shunting in Gordon's coaches, but James lied to Thomas and said they were for him. James thought it was a cleaver plan, but when Gordon when to get his cars, his driver was very cross. When James reached the station Sir topham hatt was there and he told James to go to the shed for the day. The next day James said sorry to Thomas and the freight cars were happy to have him back. On the was home, James took a railway inspector to Sir topham hatt and he said that James was a really useful engine.

Review

I enjoyed this episode, it seemed to just keep going. I also enjoyed the music. Why would the freight cars be happy to have James back if they want to knock engine's off the rails?

Over all I give this episode a 8/10
