THOMAS THE FAMOUS ENGINE
A famous painter is coming to the Island to paint a portrait of one of the engines, and all of the engines in Tidmouth Sheds want to be chosen, whilst Thomas would much prefer to be busy and hard working. It comes as a surprise to the others when their friend is chosen, but he'd still rather be working hard!

The Fat Controller steps in to help the local school, following a visit by the children and their teacher, to help two young twins, David and Danny, understand how difficult it is for people to tell them apart - by using his own twin engines to teach them!
BUZZING BEES
Thomas and Henry team up to help Farmer Mills calm his bees down when they start causing trouble for the engines.
THE FLOOD
Heavy rains have come to the Island of Sodor and the river beside Thomas's Branch Line is in danger of bursting it's banks. Thomas and the other engines must work hard to save the day and stop the water from causing too much damage before it's too late.
STAR ENGINES
Gordon, James and Henry become very excited when a film crew come to the railway to shoot a film about the engines, and are confident they'll be chosen to star. Whilst Thomas, Percy and Toby are happy for them, it soon becomes apparent who the production team want to be their Star Engines!
