S2 Ep.17 The Deputation

THESE ARE SOLEY MY OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE

Plot:
Snow came early on Sodor and Donald and Douglas were on the job to clear the lines on the main line. They manage to save Henry from a snowdrift. But the twins were still worried that the Fat Controller will send one of them back, but the others think that its unfair and praise about their work in the snow. Edward told Percy about having a 'Deputation', which means a mission. Percy mistaken the word when he returns to the sheds as 'depotstation'. Gordon then later decided to let Percy talk to the Fat Controller, much to his horror. The Fat Controller heard from Percy and had given great news to the twins in the end.

PRO:
- The steam wheeshing at the end is always my favourite.

CON:
N/A

This is a personal favourite and best episode for Donald and Douglas. It was stuck with the original story and I will always love the scene when the engines heard the news that the twins will be staying that there steam wheeshed from their cylinders. 

Rating: 5/5
