Plot
When music-lover Nia gets stranded before a big concert she's been waiting to see, Thomas brings the concert to her.

MY VIEWS

I will say it was interesting that the writers from AEG had given something more to Nia than her just being a clever engine from South Africa. They gave her a love for music and if the production team back when the show was CGI had the chance to explore more of her personality traits I think it would've worked in that. The episode was alright and although the engines have the power to jump off the rails with no damage done to them, Nia being stuck on the otherside of the bridge was there to help give confliction to the story. Yes it make sense to do the former but then we'll just have another bland plot. Though I will say the engines saying 'The show must go on!' a few times does get really annoying as if they were ramming down the message of the whole episode, much worse than them telling the moral of the episode for the audience as if they have the attention span of a goldfish. 

The episode was alright with them showing the episode that anything can be a musical instrument as well. Although I think the episode does work without the song which was meh at best. That's all I have to say about this episode.
