Thomas Gets Bumped
One day, Thomas is stopped at a station, and asked to help the children get home after their school bus breaks down. Thomas does so, but ends up running late. The next day, Thomas is traveling along his branch line when he derails at some bumpy tracks. While workmen repair his line, Thomas has to shunt trucks in the yard and Bertie takes his passengers. Thomas feels miserable and thinks his passengers will like Bertie better than him. But the Fat Controller decides to arrange Thomas' time schedule so that he and Bertie can work together more. Later, Thomas thanks Bertie for looking after his passengers.

Thomas, Percy and the Dragon
One evening, Thomas is dozing when Percy asks him if he's dreaming about the time he thought the little green engine was a ghost. Thomas says that he's not, and says that he was only pretending to be scared and knew it was really Percy. Percy keeps teasing Thomas about being scared of the dark, but Thomas says nothing. The next day, Sir Topham Hatt tells Thomas that he's to pick up a surprise load from the harbor tonight. Thomas wonders what it is. That evening, Percy is pushing some trucks into a siding when Henry passes by with a goods train. Percy waits on the siding until Henry steams by. But then, the points had jammed, and the workmen can't come to mend them until tomorrow. So Percy has to stay in the siding overnight. That night, Thomas picks up his surprise load at the harbor. The load turns out to be a dragon for the carnival tomorrow. With the dragon loaded on his flatbed, Thomas sets off into the night. Percy is asleep on his siding, and doesn't know that Thomas is approaching him. Percy wakes up when he hears another engine coming and sees the dragon, which scares him. The next morning, the points are mended and Percy puffs back to the junction. He tells the other engines about the dragon, but they all laugh, except for Edward, who kindly tells Percy that he just had a bad dream. Percy feels a little better, but then he sees the dragon again. Thomas tells him that it's for the carnival, and asks Percy how his night out was. Percy tells Thomas the truth, and Thomas says that they may get scared sometimes. But if they're not afraid to tell each other, then they're quite brave too.

Thomas, Percy and the Post Train
Thomas and Percy usually pull the post train around the island at night. One night, Percy is waiting for Henry at the junction. Henry arrives late, and explains that the boat from the mainland was delayed. Percy works hard to make up for lost time. As Percy finishes his run, Harold arrives at his airfield. He tells Percy that he's so slow with the post that he should give people their stamps back. Percy is too tired to explain. He returns to the sheds and falls asleep. He sets off early that evening. Thomas tells him that the person in charge of the post has complained to the Fat Controller about the delay last night. Percy says that that wasn't his fault. Thomas says that they'll just have to be quicker than ever before. Just as they getting ready to leave, Harold arrives and says that they're going to scrap the post train and use him instead. Thomas says it's rubbish, and he and Percy set off. At a station, Thomas noticed a man looking cold and worried. He had missed his train home. Thomas' driver offers him a ride, and the man excepts it. The next day, Percy passes the airfield and sees Harold, who says that the wind is too strong and he's been grounded. Percy says that he needs rails, as they always work wonders. That night, the Fat Controller shows Thomas and Percy a letter from the man who missed his train. He said that they are both splendid and that everyone says that the post train is the pride of the line.

Thomas and Percy's Christmas Adventure
Thomas always enjoys going up to the village of Ulfstead, and delivering post to the villagers. One December night, a blizzard blows across the island. The next day, while engines and workmen clear snow from the tracks, Thomas and Percy collect important post for Christmas. Thomas heard that there's lots of post for Ulfstead, and says that he'll need an extra van for it all. Percy starts to feel left out, but his chance comes when Thomas' crew say that they're needed at the big station and that Percy is to take Thomas' train to the village. Thomas puffs sadly away while Percy gets ready to go to Ulfstead. On the way to the village, Percy sees a fogman holding a red light. The fogman says that the village is cut off by the snow and need help. Percy leaves his vans in a siding, and hurries over to Harold's airfield. Harold then sets off to the rescue. Then Percy sees Thomas with Terence the Tractor and some workmen. Thomas tells Percy to follow him, and they head up to Ulfstead. Harold drops food for the villagers while Thomas, Percy and Terence clear away the snow. The villagers cheer for them, and say that they're the best Santa Claus they've ever had. Percy then remembers his post train in the siding, and hurries back to fetch it, just as Toby arrives with Henrietta. Toby says that they've brought lots of hot drinks and food for the villagers. That night, while the engines go back to the sheds, Toby stays at the village. The villagers had made a plan to thank the engines. Toby takes them to the sheds. He doesn't know what they are going to do, but he knows that it will be a big surprise. The next morning, it's Christmas and the engines wake up to find that their shed had been re-decorated. They all cheer and agree that it's a very Happy Christmas.
