Summary

Oliver was tired of shunting trucks, he wanted a run, but didn't tell anyone. Latter he biffed the cars in the turn table well, Sir Top Ham Hatt said he would pull the mail train for a while. That night at the station Harold was late, but they were soon off.

Then they cam to a red single, they waited and whistled, but nothing happened, so they went ahead slowly, but not on the right line, the points had been switched. Then there was trouble, they crashed. Meanwhile Sir Top Ham Hatt was worried, so he started a search party.

He soon found Oliver on a siding, then he noticed a old house, he told Oliver that they would restore it and visitors could have tea and crumpets there.

My Own Thoughts

Oliver crashed in to a shed, but in the morning when Sir Top Ham Hatt got there, where is it? I didn't really like Alec Baldwins voice for Toad, it just sounded odd. Rather than it just being a old house Oliver found, why didn't they make it a old special place on Sodor like they did with The Great Discovery. Over all the episode was OK, it was a little boring though.
