Episode Review: Rusty to the Rescue

There are only eleven more season four reviews, then it's time for season five reviews. I didn't have time to wright the Weekend Special so next week The Great Discovery overview will be up.


Writer(s): Britt Allcroft, David Mitton
Air Date: January 4, 1995

Summary
Rusty was taking on water, Thomas puffed up wondering why his driver looked worried, Rusty told Thomas that he didn't know yet, but he would find out soon. Rusty asked his driver why he looked upset, his driver explained that they needed another engine to run the Bluebell railway. Rusty had an idea to find a Bluebell engine. He asked Donald where he found Oliver, Donald said he found him on the other railway. Rusty explained his plan to the driver, so the next day they traveled to the Other Railway, it was night time when they got there. A diesel wondered who Rusty was, Rusty explained and the diesel let him pass. Rusty soon found a Bluebell engine, Rusty's engineer agreed to be Stepney's fireman. Everyone worked fast, and soon they raced out. The next morning everyone held a welcome party for Stepney, but everyone still called him the Bluebell engine.

Review
This episode reminds me of Escape. It seems odd that there would be narrow gauge tracks on the other railway. And why did Rusty take on water, isn't he a diesel? The diesel's voice sounded strange, why didn't he say who he was? I did enjoy the spooky night scenes at the Other Railway though. 

Over all I give Rusty to the Rescue a 3/10
