Summary

It was winter on the Island of Sodor, and Peter Sam was starting work again after braking his funnel. His funnel wiggles as he puffed down the line. Rusty was busy clearing trees and branches so that the water could flow in the stream below the bridge's. One day a storm swept a bridge down, Rusty went to help fix it, it took longer than expected. Peter Sam carefully puffed over the mended line. He came to a tunnel, his driver couldn't see through it, but he was headed for trouble, his funnel hit an icicle, and came off. His driver tied an old drain pipe to him for a funnel. When he got back to the shed the other engines laughed at him. Soon Sir Top Ham Hatt came with his new funnel, Peter Sam thought it was squashed, but Sir Top Ham Hatt told him that it was a special funnel. After it was fitted, Peter Sam enjoyed his new funnel, the other engines were jealous, and wanted one to.
          

Review

It's was nice to see a different season on the Island of Sodor, in all the new Sharon Miller episodes, the season is mostly summer or fall. When they tied the drain pipe to Peter Sam they did not tie it to the back, so what held it on? Over all, I thought the episode was very funny.

Over all I give this episode a 3/10
