Plot
When all the trains but Thomas get deliveries, he's left to spend the day alone; with the help of an old boxcar and a battered beachball, an adventure unfolds.

MY VIEWS

Another alright but not great episode which is mostly about Thomas having fun on his day off with a worn out box car. The only highlight for me were seeing Bulstrode, who hadn't been in the show since the 90's despite having so many toy versions of him since, and Skiff even if they were only brief. I mean if I could make this episode more better is if to give the box car a face and let's say that he was feeling alone and hadn't had fun in years and Thomas decided to have fun with him. You would have the same episode but at least there might be something nice and heart warming if you give the box car some life.
