Writer(s): Reverend W. Awdry 

Plot

Gordon is tired so James does his work while Gordon has a rest. Then Sir Top Ham hatt tells Toby that his parts are worn, and that he must go to the works to be mended. James is just leaving the station with the express. Toby is puffing through the country side, and is running low on water. He finds a water tower, but the station master tells Toby that James is coming and that he must move on. Soon Toby runs out of water and James has to push him home with the train. Then at the station all the kids joke about how James got tired and that Toby had to pull the train.

Review

Why would the kids think that Toby could pull James and the express? I don't think s tram engines could pull an express engines and James. I don't really know what to say about this episode. Over all it was OK.

Over all I give this episode a 3/10

2nd King of the Railway Trailer on You Tube

The second King of the Railway trailer has been posted on You Tube by the user TheHIROD51. Connor and Caitlin are seen in this trailer, and are having a race. Millie is also seen in this trailer. They show a new section where Stephen gets lost and crashes. I still don't like the animation on the engine's faces.

Review

I didn't really like this episode. percys' line about Henrys' short funnel was funny.On the TTTE Wikia there is a deleted scene of a trublesome truck with jam on it's face. It seems that in this episode, all the good scenes are deleted.

Over all I give this episode a 6/10

Then they all go to the Christmas part at the station. Sir topham hatt was there, and Harold brought Father Christmas.

Review

I remember seeing this episode before, but I don't remember Sir topham hatts' voice echoing from the microphone. This is the first episode that Christopher Awdry wrote for the T.V. series, which I didn't know. Season 2 had lot's of good episodes. My favorites were: Percy's Ghostly Trick , A Close Shave for Duck and this one.

Over all I give this episode a 8/10

Percy has to take hay to the docks, but Thomas tells him that he looks like a caterpillar. Then when Percy get's to the docks, a crane drops a box of  treacle on Percy by accident. The on the way home it gets windy, and the hey from the tracks sticks to Percy. By the time Percy gets to the station he is covered in hey, and everyone laughed at him. Then Percy goes back to the shed and tells his driver to clean him before Toby gets back, but Thomas tells Toby all about it anyway. When Thomas and Toby got back to the shed, they talked about woolly bear caterpillars.

Review

They should have made a Woolly Bear virsion on Percy for the Adventures of Percy wooden railway pack.  I didn't really like the episode, but it was a little funny.I liked Percys' ghost whistle, but I thought that the hey on Percy was just ugly.

Over all I give this episode a 9/10

Then Percy showed up at the shed and scared Thomas, then Thomas pretended that he had to go, when he was really scared of Percy. The next morning Toby and Percy talk about it at Kapford station.

Review

I saw this episode lots, and I think it's the best episode in season 2. This episode is very popular for Halloween remakes on You Tube. I liked the fog in this episode, it wasn't to think. They make the fog was to thick in the new CGI episodes. Also this is the first Halloween themed episode.

Over all I give this episode a 10/10
