The Winx Club's Sodor Adventures - Season 2

Episode 18: Thomas Comes to Breakfast


Thomas and Bloom have worked on their branch line for many years, and know it very well.


"You know just where to stop, Thomas," laughed Bloom. "You could almost manage it without me."

Thomas had become conceded. But he didn't realize Bloom was only joking.


Later, he boasted to the others. "Bloom says I don't need her now," he told the others.

"Don't be so daft," snorted Percy.

"I never go without Roxy," said Toby earnestly. "I'd be frightened."

"Pooh!" boasted Thomas. "I'm not scared."

"You never dare."

"I would then. You'll see."


Next morning, the firelighter came. Thomas drowsed comfortably as the warmth spread into his boiler. Percy and Toby were still asleep. Thomas suddenly remembered.

"Silly stick-in-the-muds!" he chuckled. "I'll show them! Bloom says I can manage without her. I'll just go out, and then I'll stop and "wheesh!" That'll make them jump."

Thomas thought he was being clever, but really he was only moving because Knut, an ogre from the Magicial Dimension who worked as an engine cleaner, had meddled with his controls, much to his curiosity. He soon found his mistake. He tried to "wheesh", but he couldn't. He tried to stop, but he couldn't. He just kept rolling along.

He didn't dare what it look what's coming next. There was the stationmaster's house! The stationmaster of Tidmouth was about to have breakfast.

"Horrors!" cried Thomas, and shut his eyes.

The house rocked, broken glass tinkled, plaster was everywhere. Thomas had collected a bush on his travels. He peered into the room through its leaves. He couldn't speak.

The stationmaster was furious. His wife picked up her plate. "You miserable engine!" she scolded. "Just look what you've done to our breakfast! Now I shall have to cook some more!"

She banged the door. More plaster fell. This time, it fell on Thomas.


Thomas felt depressed. Workmen propped up the house with strong poles and laid rails through the garden. Then, Sky, Brandon and the Scottish twin engines, Donald and Douglas arrived with Bloom.

"Dinna fash yourself, Thomas. We'll soon have you back on the rails," they laughed.

Donald and Douglas, puffing hard, managed to haul Thomas back to safety. Bits of fencing, the bush, and a broken window frame festooned his front, which was badly twisted. When Bloom saw what had happened, she was both shocked and cross, but not with Thomas. The twins laughed and left him.


Thomas was in disgrace. There was worse to come.

When Sir Topham Hatt heard the news, he was not happy. "You're in a lot of trouble, Thomas."

"I know, sir. I'm sorry, sir." Thomas' voice was muffled behind his bush.

"You must go to the works and have your front mended. It will be a long job."

"Yes, sir."

"Meanwhile, a diesel rail car will do your work."

"A d-d-d-diesel, sir?" Thomas spluttered.

"Yes, Thomas. Diesels always stay in their sheds till they are wanted. Diesels never gallivant off to breakfast in stationmasters' houses."


The End
