Summary

Gordon was filling up on coal, James told him that that he didn't need any more coal. Then, he went to fill up on water, Duck said he might get boiler ache if he had to much. Gordon was getting cross, he was Percy by the shed, and he saw to big tenders, he asked Percy who they belonged to. Percy said they belonged to a visitor. Diesel came by, and said he won't need any tenders in the end, because diesel's are taking over. Gordon went to Knapford station to get the express, Sir Top Ham Hatt was there, he asked him why the visitor need two tenders, and if the diesel's were really going to take over. he said that the visitor has to tenders because he traveled long distances, and that the diesel's were never going to take over the railway. Latter, Henry decided that he wanted more tenders, Donald and Duck played a trick on him, and told him he could have his tenders. Latter, all the engines were waiting at Knapford station to see Henry and his tenders, they were six old tenders. All the engine's thought it was funny.

Review

Thomas fan's say that the Flying Scotsman never appeared in the T.V. series, well I guess he never had a roll in a episode, but his tenders were seen in the shed. Why would Henry want tenders? That's one part of the episode I didn't get. Over all I enjoyed the episode.

Over all I give this episode a 8/10
