Written By: Lee Pressman

Air Date: (US)?

Summary

It had been snowing heavily on Sodor, and the engines were finding it was hard to work. Meanwhile, Kevin was enjoying the snow storm at the Steam Works, but then Victor told Kevin to get back to work.

Victor told Kevin that the snow was dangerous, but Kevin still wanted to go out in it to get Emily's piston rods. Kevin didn't listen to Victor, and still went out in the snow. Kevin started to play, but the fell over and got stuck by the side of the Steam Works. Then a big snow drift fell on him, and no one knew where he was.

Back at Tidmouth Sheds, Sir Topham Hatt told Thomas to get Emily's car of parts from the depot and take it to the Steam Works. While Thomas was on his way to the depot, Victor was worried about Kevin being out in the snow, so he put on his snow plow and went out to find him.

Meanwhile, Thomas was at the depot and collected Emily's piston rods. When Thomas got back to the Steam Works he heard Kevin banging his hook on the window and went over to help. Soon Kevin was back inside by the warm fire. Kevin told Thomas that Victor had gone looking for him, so Thomas went to find Victor.

Thomas found Victor and told him that Kevin was back at the Steam Works, then they all went back to the Steam Works, and Victor told Kevin he was his best friend. Then Emily asked if she could have her new piston rods. Kevin said he would get them, but they all said NO!, then everyone laughed.

My Thoughts

It's nice that Victor and Kevin have there own episode, and the snow effect every time a scene changed was a cool effect.

Summary

One day Thomas was delivering some pipes, and Hiro was there, so he went with Thomas. On the way Thomas didn't slow down at the bend, and the pipes all came crashing off. Hiro hit one of the pipes and came off the rails.

Edward soon came with Rocky to clean up the mess, but Hiro had to go to the Steam Works. That night at the shed's Thomas was worried that Hiro wouldn't be fixed like when Thomas first found him. So the next morning Thomas went to the woods to look for Hiro's old spare part's, but didn't find any.

Thomas got stuck at the end of the old track, and let out steam that Harold soon saw, so he went to get help. Percy soon came with Rockey and Sir Topham Hatt to rescue Thomas. The same deer came by frighting Sir Topham Hatt, but then they all laughed.

The next day Thomas was at the Steam Works being fixed with Hiro, Thomas told Hiro his story about the woods. Then they were both fixed, and Hiro explained that the Steam Works kept extra spare part's for Hiro in case he ever broke down again. Then Thomas and Hiro went out for a run.

My Thoughts

I really like the animation of the woods in this episode, and they always do a good job with the animals and sunset as well.

Episode Review: Series 19, Episode 8 - Den and Dart

 Released On: Tales on the Rails DVD

Written By: Davey Moore

Summary

It was a busy day at the quarry. Mavis was busy filling up rather grumpy troublesome trucks when Thomas came by with some empty trucks. Just as Thomas pulled in Mavis had finished filling the trucks, and she accidentally went under the hopper and got covered in rocks that damaged her.

Thomas had to take Mavis to the Dieselworks to be fixed. Meanwhile Mavis was worried about who would look after the quarry. Then Sir Topham Hatt came to the Dieselworks, and told Den he had to work at the Quarry while Mavis was being fixed. Den didn't like the idea of working without Dart.

When Den arrived at the Quarry the troublesome trucks weren't happy that Den was telling them what to do. Back at the Dieselworks Dart was missing Den, but Mavis explained that as soon as she was repaired, Den could come back.

At the Quarry, Henrietta told Den to show the trucks who was boss. Then Den soon had the Quarry in order, and meanwhile Mavis was being repaired. Soon Mavis was repaired and headed back to the Quarry, and Den was happy to go back home.

My Thoughts

This was a good episode, and I like how the troublesome trucks talk and have expression in CGI.  It's also nice to see Den and Dart having stories in the T.V. series, and not just being character's to sell more trains.

Episode Review: Series 19, Episode 7 - Salty All At Sea

Released On: Tales of the Rails DVD

Written By: Lee Pressman

Summary

Porter and Salty were at the docks one day, and it was quite. Salty was about to tell a story, but then Thomas came by with Sir Topham Hatt. Sir Topham Hatt told Salty he was needed at the Mainland dock's, but Salty was scared to go on the ship, so he hid from Cranky.

Salty took Edward's cars to Wellsworth to keep himself busy. Meanwhile Edward showed up at the Docks wondering where his car's were, and Sir Topham Hatt wondered where Salty had gone. Then Thomas went to the station to collect his passengers, but Salty had taken them to Knapford in an old coach he found in the yard behind the station.

Thomas tried to catch up with Salty, and found him in a shed by Tidmouth. Salty told Thomas he was scared because he never went on a ship, and because of the scary stories he heard. Thomas told Salty that he made up most of the stories, and then by next morning Salty wasn't scared to go anymore, and Cranky loaded him on to the ship.

A few week's latter Salty came back, and had enjoyed his trip to the Mainland. And was telling stories once again.

My Thoughts

This was a good episode, and it's nice that the troublesome truck's talk and have face expression's now. The sunset scene at the end was also nice.

Episode Review: Series 19, Episode 6 - Very Important Sheep

DVD Released On: Tales On the Rails

Written By: Helen Farrall 

 

Summary

One night Sir Topham Hatt came to the shed to tell Percy he had to take some sheep to the spring fair the next morning. In the morning Percy was late with his mail train, and rushed to collect his car, but didn't notice he had bumped a hole in the back of it.

Percy soon arrived at farmer McColl's farm, and collected the sheep. Then he went to get some water, but the first sheep went out the back hole. The rest of the way to the spring fair, Percy lost a sheep every time he stopped.

A little while latter Thomas was coming down the same line, and then he saw the first sheep. Then Thomas soon collected all the lost sheep from Percy on his way to the fair. Percy arrived at the fair first and realized that all the sheep escaped through the hole.

Then Thomas came with the sheep all on board Annie. Farmer McColl was happy that Thomas had rescued his sheep. And Annie hoped that she would never have to carry live stock again.

My Thoughts

This was a great episode, and it's nice to have one without a train crash. Trevor also made a CGI cameo at the end of this episode. I did find the episode a bit repetitive though.

The story is about how Thomas has to work at the quarry, but accidentally bumps Percy causing him to runaway with out a driver and fireman. In the end Thomas catches Percy.
