Thomas and Friends: The Smelter's Horror

Thomas and Friends: The Smelter's Horror is a new idea for the 2016 upcoming Thomas and Friends special.

Plot:

When a storm damages the smelter's yard, Thomas and his two friends are called in to help out the wreckage and delivery of foundry slag they have to work on. They met three new friends who are also working at the Smelters including their old friend Boco who is leading the jobs. Norman however told Thomas that he had seen the Scrap Heap Monster coming to life after being struck by lightning, causing havoc around the smelters. Ignoring of what Norman witnessed, Thomas continues his work until he found a old engine by the name of Prince who claims to be the fastest-freight engine on Sodor. Before anything can help Prince being restored, Diesel 10 and his cohort P.T. Boomer emerges from nowhere with a single notion in mind: to scrap Prince into pieces. So Thomas, Percy and James have to save their new friend Prince from the clutches of Diesel 10 and Boomer before the Scrap Heap Monster arrives with more trouble to follow. How will our no. 1 blue engine save his new friend from the grim and malevolent? Will Thomas's friends manage to help out or Prince becomes scrap-metal?
