Plot:
Edward is being sent to the works to be mended and as a surprise, he saw Skarloey. The old engine was pleased to see Edward. He's been sent to the sheds for a rest. The two had a chat and Edward was taken to the works. Meanwhile Sir Handel was trying to be kind with some coaches, but they were awkward and rude and with careless sheep on the line, Sir Handel bumped them accidentally and caused him to be pushed off the rails. Skarloey offered to help with the train and was tilted over due to a spring giving way. Skarloey made it to Crovans Gate and in the end was being mended.
PRO:
- The tilted Skarloey was very much like his RWS counterpart.
CON:
- What's the point of Peter Sam and Sir Handel's introduction?
- They could've kept 'Skarloey Remembers' and 'Old Faithful' as two single episodes.

Another episode merged with two RWS stories. But to be honest its a shame that they didn't kept 'Skarloey Remembers' and 'Old Faithful' as two single episodes. The first story of the book 'Four Little Engines', would've been a perfect introduction to Skarloey himself and as well as the railway. 'Old Faithful' is also good as the ending of the four stories. And what was the point of Peter Sam and Sir Handel's introduction? They were introduced in the next story and they were mentioned in the last three episodes.
But however, despite the flaws the tilted Skarloey looked very accurate towards the original picture so kudos to the model makers.
Rating: 3.5/5
