The episode is OK, it does have a good moral about not everyone can be strong but helpful. But when I first saw this episode back in 2006 on the internet, at the time ABC Australia weren't showing much of the new and improved Thomas episodes from HIT Entertainment as they were showing the classic series between S6-7. I thought it was wrong of them to have Gordon pulling trucks. But now when I look at it, it's actually a good improvement, despite the persona change. And I do love the effects of the cows as they moved along with Henry with him moving without jumping with the cows' stop motion.
I find the episode OK and I do like this one as well.
Rating: 3/5
