Air Date:

Plot:
Percy wants to show off to 'Arry and Bert that his whistle is better then his horns.
PRO:
- The safety of whistles
- The steam coming out of the whistles without a close up.
CON:
'..Percy was taking some trucks to the smelters yards..' yet it's a quarry.
- The title was illogical as Percy doesn't even have a new whistle.
- Why can't Percy puff away from the snowball?
- Despite Percy using his whistle properly, he could at least whistle at the tunnel.
Despite my list of cons, this is another good episode. The importance of whistles, something that is missing from the recent episodes of Thomas & Friends and I love how they CGI'ed the steam coming out of the whistles without using a close up of the whistle, like in the classic series, even though it was used in this series too. Though the title was illogical and how they called the quarry, the smelters.
But the episode is good and shows the target audience the importances of a steam engine's whistle.
Rating: 4/5
