Paint Pots and Queens - It is a proud day for all the engines on the Fat Controller's railway as the Queen is coming to visit.

On the top of the screen, where a crew member's hand tries to catch Bill and Ben's models from falling off the edge of the set in the restored version with the scene of Bill and Ben puffing away to fetch more China Clay. The first time that Thomas' current smiling face from the third to twelfth series appears although only in a deleted scene. Percy has Thomas' tired face in one scene. Interestingly, in a promotional image of this episode, Percy wears his own tired face. In the Norwegian releases, the description says that Toby is bigger than Thomas and that he lives at Tidmouth Sheds. Some of the 1995 Anchor Bay Entertainment tapes would feature only the Britt Allcroft logo instead of the Video Treasures logo.The next day, Thomas sees an inspector waving a red flag as he approaches the station. He sees some children waving at him on the bridge too, and he becomes concerned as it is a goods station. The children ask Thomas to take them home, and the stationmaster explains to the driver that the school bus broke down. The children climb on board Annie and Clarabel, and Thomas takes them to the next station where Bertie is waiting to take them home. When Thomas finishes his job, he is very late and worries that Sir Topham Hatt will be cross with him.

James and the Express - Gordon the big engine looks silly when the signalman forgets and switches him off the main line. Quotes Percy: [after the signal drops] Hurry up, Thomas! If you're late, the Fat Controller may get a new engine to replace you. Thomas: He would never do that!

As you will know, I am proud of all my engines and was most pleased when my colleagues on the mainland told me how much you have enjoyed making friends with Skarloey, Granpuff and the others. Thomas and the Guard - Thomas is in trouble when he starts off fast and leaves his guard far behind. When Thomas is seen leaving the station, he blows off steam but it suddenly disappears as another train comes in, thus indicating a film cut. The first time to feature Thomas' first series nervous face since the first series episode, Down the Mine, (excluding a promotional image from the second series episode, Ghost Train), now with modified eyebrows, showing a concerned look.
