Plot:
Due to Henry's small firebox, he became ill and Thomas decided to pull Henry's train. But an unfortunate mishap happens when he gets too over excited.
PRO:
- Thomas seen hauling the express for the first time.
- The wonder large scale close up of Thomas puffing away.
CON:
- Why was Edward one of the engines laughing? Surely that makes him out of character as he is kind and wise.

We had 'Express Coming Through' earlier this year, but this is were Thomas first pulled the express and in a much more entertaining way. I liked the Season 16 episode, but this Thomas episode is a watchable episode because the story is of course based off the Railway Series. One thing I love about the first series is the close ups of cabs, buffers and couplings, it shows more detail of a steam engine and it was great seeing Thomas hauling the express for the first time as well. But there is one error, why was Edward one of the engines laughing, at the beginning? Surely James would be a better choice as Edward is a kind and wise engine. But the episode shows about how over excited people can get if they're given something special and they could easily make a mistake.
Rating: 4/5
