Plot

Bill and Ben saw Harvey the crane engine at Brendam Docks. They teased him saying that he's going fishing with his hook. Porter helps him to see the positive side of being a crane engine. 

PRO:
- Moral: You're special for who you are
- Harvey's scottish accent

CON:
-N/A

I actually enjoyed this episode, it's nice to see Harvey having a full on role, since S6 as far as I can remember. I love the fact that they given him a scottish accent as his basis, Dubs Crane Engine Engine No.4101, are built in Glasgow, Scotland. Andrew Brenner have done more research then just the Railway Series books, TTTE Wikia and the classic TV series by his side. It especially have a nice moral that brings me back to 'Harvey to The Rescue' when the Fat Controller said this quote: "Different is what makes you special!" it shows kids that teasing should never bother you, you're just more special then they are. That is a great moral to hear in a modern day Thomas episode, particularly that kids these days can be 'trolled' on the internet via social network sites or anywhere inside or outside the internet and sadly they can be underaged, I have seen a few people who argued with young kids, some who are at the age in their 20's. But I don't want to get into too much detail about the issue, but the episode shows that teasing is noting, you're special. But the episode was nice and enjoyable. 

Rating: 4/5
