S4 Ep.12: Steamroller

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

STEAMROLLER
Originally Written by
The Rev.W.Awdry

Adapted for Television by
Britt Allcroft and David Mitton

Air Date:
14/1/95

Plot:
Sir Handel was boasting about his new 'steamroller' wheels. Skarloey decided to let Sir Handel learn his lesson by boasting to George, a new steamroller to help with the road works. George boasted about ripping up rails and turning them into road. Sir Handel and George met up with each other and the next day, George smashed into Sir Handel's train. So a fence was made and George and the construction set for home, but Sir Handel thought he made George sent away. He boasted about, but some boys teased him about. 

PRO:
- The crash was filmed perfectly.

CON:
- Looking at the RWS book, it would've been more better if they met George at the road and not at their sheds. 

The episode is average, but it really did stick close to the book's visuals, like George's introduction. But the crash was filmed perfectly. 

Rating: 4/5
