 Summary

One day Henry and Hiro were filling up on coal, then they had to take a long train of trucks to the docks, but on the way Henry's coal started turning black, then Hiro's did to. Soon they saw Duck, he said they must have taken on some of the bad coal, and his job was to get fresh coal. Henry went back to the shed to wait for new coal, but Hiro kept on going. He couldn't pull all the trucks with out Henry, so he put half in a siding and went back for them after. Once he got to the docks Sir Top Ham Hatt told him that he and Henry had to take some steal to the docks by four o'clock. Hiro couldn't move them along, so he went' to Tidmouth sheds to get Henry, he told him to keep on puffing, even with the bad coal. Once they delivered the steal they both went to the Steam Works where there fireboxes were cleaned.

My Own Thoughts

It was really nice to see Duck again. Hiro's voice sounded a little different even though he had the same voice actor. I thought Gordon's face was funny when he thought Hero was smelly. Why would there be noise in the firebox, there's no mettle in there, and there driver should have just told them what it was. It was nice to have a time like four o'clock other that tea time, but shouldn't Hiro be back at home with his friends? Why is he still on Sodor?
