Stories

Overweight

Bear is sent to rescue a derailed brake van on Edward’s Branch Line. However, old rails cause Bear to upset the balance and finds himself in need of rescuing!

Mixed Signals

When Bear overhears Henry making fun of diesels, he feels insulted. Henry meanwhile has a dreadful accident when a relief driver misunderstands a signal and causes him an accident, where Bear laughs at his folly!

James' Fry Up

James takes a special train of visitors to Barrow Station, with a Dining Car attached at the end. When snowdrifts cause him to become trapped in the cutting, his driver and fireman make good use of the Dining Car’s food by cooking it in James’ firebox until help arrives!

Collaboration Engines

Bear and Henry are still cross with each other. But when a bad snowstorm strikes the Island, all the engines have to work together to get passengers and goods delivered in time. After Henry helps Bear, the pair make up and become friends again.
