Luckily, she is able to reverse back onto the road and they make it safely home. That night, Elizabeth arrives at the sheds to find Gordon has told the other engines, and she sprays the delighted engines with snow.

Ding-A-Ling
Harmood has delivered a new car for Sir Topham Hatt's hiking trip, but it doesn't have a horn. Toby doesn't know where to find one, but so as not to look silly he pretends he knows where to find one, and sets off.

Henry remarks that the children aren't taking any notice, and Toby runs off. He decides to return to Tidmouth Sheds, but when he sees Harmood, James and Henry, he backs off. He sees a horn destined for the school and has it put on too, but it falls over, and it creates such a noise the others come to investigate.

Meanwhile, Rosie has stuck on some points while shunting and has to stay there for the night. She finds it hard to sleep, and when Billy passes with the dragon she is so terrified she doesn't sleep at all. The next day, Rosie sees the dragon again, but is indignant when she sees Billy pushing it. The two make up their teasing.

After seeing the ghost heading towards him, Gordon is spooked and runs back to the safety of the shed.

Snow (Episode)
Skarloey and Cartman become snowed down by a tunnel, so the pass the time Cartman tells Skarloey a story. One snowy day, Billy was travelling up to the slate mine when he passed through a ravine. His driver was concered that noise could cause an avalanche, and he sets an emergency cap. When Billy runs over it, nothing happens, so his crew decide to make a cup of cocoa. Unfortunately, up in the slate mines some "empties" jam the winch and some freight cars run down the slope into the ravine, causing an avalanche which buries Billy. When Cartman comes to the rescue, they discover that Billy' heat has created an igloo, and inside they find Billy's crew nonchantly slipping cocoa. Duncan then arrives with his snow machine, only to be buried when the noise causes an avalanche. Skarloey jokes that if Billy could emerge from an avalanche laughing, Duncan could at least do the same.

Duck and The Boulder
A new quarry is being built near the mines and Duck is afraid a giant boulder will fall onto the line. He confesses his fears to Billy and Rosie, but they forgot about them when a new machine named Thumper arrives to help the building process. Later, Duck's fears are amplified when a huge stab of rock nearly hits him one rainy day. However, no one takes much notice, and the next day the nail is put on the coffin. Thumper knocks the boulder loose and it chases Duck down the line. Duck escapes by going onto an uphill siding. Thomas meets the boulder near the slate mines and runs into another siding. Percy soon meets the boulder, and narrowly avoids disaster by running into a coalbunker. Finally, Rosie meets the boulder at the mines, when it crashes into the shed, completely destroying it and setting it on fire. Sir Topham Hatt closes the mine down, and the boulder is placed on a nearby hill.

Dunkin' Gordon
Thomas, Percy and Duck go to the slate mines to help Gordon. Gordon is impatient and behaves rudely towards the others. While the others are taking some freight cars back, Gordon pushes the freight cars around, and, while shunting some "empties" at the incline, gets his coupling tangled with a car. The winch hauls the freight cars and Gordon up the slope. Gordon's weight is too much for the winch and a coupling breaks, making Gordon run down the hill into the swamp. Gordon is pulled out and Sir Topham Hatt makes him work at the mines as punishment until he learns to be "patient and careful".
