Summary

Scruff was taking some scrap to the scrap yard, but it was to heavy and he broke down. Samson shunted Scruff to the Steam Works where Sir Topham Hatt told Samson that he was going to collect scrap with Harvey until Scruff was fixed. Samson and Harvey collected two piles of scrap, but then Samson saw a bike lying by a fence post, and he thought it was scrap so Harvey collected it.

Next Samson saw one of Bertie's bus stop signs and thought it was scrap to, so they put it in the truck. Up the road Sir Topham Hatt's car had gotten a flat tire, but then they discovered that there wasn't an extra one in the trunk, so they went to get one. While they were gone Samson took the car because he thought it was scrap to.

Then Sir Topham Hatt came back with the tire and Bertie pulled up with the bike owner and they raced to the scrap yard. Scruff got there first and told Reg to stop unloading. Sir Topham Hatt told Samson he had caused confusion, and that his car wasn't scrap, then a part fell of the car and they all laughed.

Review

Well, this episode reminded me a little bit of a Sharron Miller episode, and  there was some rhyming in it. It's nice to have Harvey back in the series again, but why did he listen to Samson when he knew he was wrong?
