  1. Gallant Old Engine - Duncan is grumbling about passengers not being important, so Skarloey tells him the story about how Rheneas saved the railway from closure by struggling home on 1 cylinder with a train jammed full of passengers. Duncan realises just how wrong he was.
  2. Henry and the Elephant - The big engines are grumbling because they are very busy, but Percy cheers them up with the big news that the circus has come to town. When the circus train leaves, Henry is asked to clear a tunnel that is blocked by something very big… and alive!
  3. Thomas and the Special Letter - All the engines are very excited indeed as they are going on a trip to the big station far away to visit a little girl who has written to the Fat Controller. Thomas nearly misses the trip because he is over excited.
  4. Bulls Eyes - Daisy soon regrets teasing Toby about his cowcatchers and being afraid of bulls. Champion the Bull doesn't run away when Daisy hoots at him and won't even look her in the eye.
  5. Mind that Bike - Tom Tipper the postman is always happy to help out by loading up Thomas and Percy's mail trains with mail sacks of letters and parcels. When Tom's red post van is replaced with a bicycle, he doesn't have any time to help them out, but Percy accidentally does Tom a favour by breaking his bicycle.
