Summary

It was winter on the Island of Sodor, at the station the engines teased Thomas about his snow plow. That night it snowed, and the next morning Sir Top Ham Hatt told the engines they had to have there snow plows fitted. Thomas tried to urge Sir Top Ham Hatt that he didn't need it, but he said every engine needs a snow plow.

The next day Thomas had his snow plow fitted, then he went to collect his special, it was a christmas tree for the villagers. Then Thomas meet up with Toby and they were on there way, but latter there was trouble. Thomas couldn't see the rock ahead and his snow plow broke when it hit it, and it knocked over the water tower. Thomas went on with out a snow plow, it was hard, but they soon arrived.

When Thomas returned, he was worried about what Sir Top Ham Hatt would say, he was pleased that Thomas got to the village with out a snowplow, and said he could go with out one for a while.

My Own Thoughts

It's strange that Thomas didn't use his blue snow plow in this episode.  I liked the Thomas' Winter Wonderland theme that played in the background during most of the episode.
