Plot
Thomas needs repainting and must be patient as he dries, even though he feels like he's missing out.
MY VIEWS
Honestly, this was not a bad episode. It was interesting to see how rust for a steam engine is the equlivant to chicken pox or a cold or Covid, though how the way Thomas got it seems illogical, even though this show was never logical 100%, rust is formed if water, salty air etc. makes contact with steel. It happened to one of the Coronation class locomotives when it was preserved at one of the Butlin holiday camps many years ago in the UK.
Though I will say, Percy trying to entertain Thomas feels like it was padded out for time, even though it had served to the plot but it did feel annoying sitting through it all but that's just a nitpick.
But even so this episode was still good and it can almost be relevant to kids who had to stay in bed after getting a cold or, in this day and age, Covid and while the message was good I wish, again, they didn't tell the moral to the audience and let the latter take it in themselves by watching it.
