![]() ![]() The standpipe tower is rebuilt, completing the restoration. The word soon spreads that Thomas has been found. Thomas, using some of Stanley's coal, pushes him back to Great Waterton. The two make up and Stanley pulls Thomas back onto the rails, but the strain is too much for Stanley and a valve bursts. Stanley hears it and hurries to where Thomas is stranded beside the track. Thomas, with the last of his steam, sounds a loud, long whistle. Stanley decides to make another search effort by himself before he returns to work. Meanwhile, Thomas continues floating in the dark tunnel until he reaches an opening to the mine and is flung across a canyon and down a hill without the wooden planks that made him float into the mine. Stanley thinks Thomas ran away after the incident yesterday and tries to find him in the hills. Everyone must look for Thomas!"Įveryone are just about to give up, when Percy reminds them that Thomas found Great Waterton on his own, that it is his town and that they cannot have the opening without him and everyone agrees. While searching, Stanley realises about how upset Thomas has been about Stanley coming to Sodor and all that he had been doing and so decides to help put things right. The Fat Controller organises a search effort and everyone search everywhere, but no one can find Thomas. Racing in after it, Thomas crashes into a blocked tunnel and falls down into the water where he floats down an underground waterway.Īfter the engines meet at Great Waterton, Stanley asks where Thomas is and the engines soon realise that Thomas is missing. He is almost finished when he accidentally bumps a truck into an old mine shaft. Later that night, Thomas decides to clear the rubble out of the way. The Fat Controller states that this will likely set back the restoration past Sodor Day and Thomas takes the blame. Unfortunately, the plan backfires - as Stanley ascends the hill, a coupling breaks and the trucks race down the hill, veering into a siding and crashing into the newly finished tower. Later, Thomas is shunting stone trucks for Stanley to take away when he decides to make Stanley look silly by giving him a train too heavy for him to pull. ![]() When Thomas came back from the works, the Fat Controller decided to let Stanley stay in charge as he has done a good job.

Thomas is told to take charge of the engines working around the town, while a new tank engine named Stanley is brought to do Thomas' regular jobs.Īll of the engines take a liking to Stanley, who does a good job and has fun as well. The Fat Controller decides that the restoration of the legendary lost town would be perfect for Sodor Day and calls the Pack to help. The news of Thomas' discovery spreads and eventually reaches the Fat Controller, who tells Thomas that the town is Great Waterton - the largest town on Sodor when steam engines first came to the island that had since been thought to be lost. "I am brave and I am strong, I'll get to the wharf and it won't take long."Īfter avoiding an old, collapsing bridge, Thomas takes another route at the old junction and as he journeys further down the line, he comes across an old overgrown town. This leads Duncan to pay Thomas out by sending him on an old, disused line which he claims will lead Thomas back to the wharf faster. After Duncan teases Thomas by stating that Mr Percival wants him to work with Thomas because Duncan knows the tracks in the hills, Thomas teases back by calling Duncan small. Thomas wins and is sent into the hills to collect lumber with Duncan. The railway is preparing for Sodor Day and Thomas and James are racing to the wharf to be given a special job by Mr. ![]()
