Plot
When an important shipment is delayed, Bruno and the gang have to learn the great value of waiting patiently.
I will say Bruno getting excited seeing a mechanic was cute and it was nice to see him representing autism with him being overwhelmed by the noise the engines were making and with him being anxious that the schedule had changed.
But the rest of the episode, while OK, was a bit boring when most of the episode was set at one location and it was more talk and less action. The message about being patient was a good one and one that some members of the Thomas fandom should learn when it comes to content creators and their videos. If I have to at least give one example on making a story about patience with some action, I think the story 'Thomas and the Guard' is a good example. Thomas was impatient due to Henry being late due to his old shape being a mess and it resulted leaving his guard behind. Eventually the guard came and all was well but it was entertaining with the worry about the guard when you watch it in the perspective of the characters. That's just what I see as entertainment. I don't believe a little kid would be interested in seeing the engines all in one location.
