Plot
Stanley was just about to go to bed one night until The Fat Controller arrived at the level crossing. He told Stanley that he had to do a night job. He had to take Percy's mail trucks while Percy's at the Steamworks. Stanley was excited. He headed off to collect the mail trucks. He delivered all the mail and once again he went to bed. Just then Thomas arrived. He asked Stanley to bring Annie and Clarabel to the yard while he goes to bed early. Stanley did just that. Duck soon arrived. He asked Stanley to bring his cargo to the Sodor Museum. It was some old skeletons. Stanley later got bored and went to sleep. But The Fat Controller wanted one more job for him. When he heard the news, he asked Ferdinand, Bash and Dash to do his job, taking Jobi wood to the camp site. But Bash, Dash and Ferdinand all ran out of oil. Stanley was soon awoken when The Fat Controller tried again. Stanley did the job well and the other engines were proud of him. Stanley knew that during the night there might be some work or not. Whatever job he does, he will always be a really useful engine.

Plot
It was Halloween night on Sodor. Spencer was at Tidmouth Sheds with the other engines. Hiro was telling the other engines about a ghost that can come from the Mainland to Sodor. Spencer huffed. He didn't think there was a ghost coming from the Mainland to Sodor. The Fat Controller soon arrived. He told Spencer he needs to collect some supplies for the children's Halloween party. Percy tricked him to say to look out for the ghost. Spencer just ignored them. He arrived at Brendam Docks. Cranky told him that there were some decorations inside. Spencer soon puffed out. He met Thomas carrying fireworks. Thomas told Spencer that he might see the ghost. Spencer huffed. He knew that ghosts don't exist. He puffed on and saw Whiff. He told him to watch out for the ghost. Spencer grumbled. It also went on when he passed Emily, then James, then Charlie, then Skarloey. Spencer grumbled until something strange happened. He arrived at the Smelters Yard. He was scared. He heard noises. Suddenly, Spencer saw a shadow of a steam engine. He knew it might be the Mainland Sodor Ghost Engine. Spencer ran back to Tidmouth Sheds. The ghost chased him. Spencer soon heard a voice inside the ghost. His driver opened the cover. The ghost engine turned out to be Lady. She told the engines that she was covered because 'Arry and Bert told Diesel 10 to do it. The Fat Controller heard what happened﻿. He spoke to the three diesels straight away. They said sorry. And Spencer heard that there wasn't a ghost that goes to the Mainland to Sodor. Because, as the chorus said, "Ghost engines don't exist".

The Fat Controller said that blue engines are coming to the opening of the Rainbow Museum. Edward must show them around Sodor. Edward was pleased about showing engines his favourite colour. When they arrived, Edward introduced them to him. The engine's names were Blue, Bluer and Bluest. Edward started the tour at Brendam Docks. That's where the engines were unloaded. Bluest wanted to lead, but Edward insisted to lead them instead. Blue and Bluer told Edward that Bluest is leader. Edward just thinked he's silly. When they arrived at the Steamworks, Victor and Kevin were pleased to show new engines around. When Kevin clanged, Bluest thinks it's better then a big bump. They all laughed. They went to Knapford Station and met Gordon. Gordon told them about the express. They were impressed. They went to Whiff's Waste Dump. Bluest said Whiff and Scruff were smelly, but funny. Whiff blushes with a nervous "thank you". Once they went to Tidmouth Sheds, Bluest want to lead them in. But Edward really was the engine leading. Soon they began to argue and Bluest went through the end of the sheds. Thomas went passed and asked what happened. The Fat Controller stepped out. He told Bluest, for the first time, that he has caused confusion and delay. Bluest told him that he never caused the trouble on the Mainland. He just leads engines. Edward kindly told him he would just lead for one day. Bluest understand and once Rocky helped him back on track, Edward went with the new engines once more around Sodor. After the tour, Bluest said sorry and promised he would lead tomorrow. Edward smiled as they enjoyed the opening of the new Rainbow Museum.

Plot
There was excitment for the engines on the Island of Sodor. A new truck is coming to the Coaling Plant. His name is Alan. Thomas collected him at Brendam Docks. He was scared for being loaded. Hector knew how he feels. He tried to show Alan how he felt when he was first scared, but Alan is a clever truck. He didn't need a train to pull him, he went on his own. Hector watched him ride away. When Edward chuffed up, he asked what happened. Hector told him the news and they both went away to catch him. Alan rode along the rails while Edward and Hector called out for him to stop. But Alan didn't stop. He hid in a siding. Hector and Edward were worried. Just then, James arrived. Hector told him what happened. James tried to think of something to bring him out his hiding place. He tried to tell Alan to come out to see his red paint. But Alan didn't move. Just then, Diesel 10 came out. He tried to make him come out by telling Alan about his claw. But Alan didn't move. Diesel 10 grumped. After Diesel 10 left, Toby arrived. He told Alan to come out to see Henrietta. But Alan didn't move. Every other engine tried to make Alan come out, but no use. Hector decided if he and Edward push Alan out of his hiding place, he will move. So Hector and Edward puffed back and charged Alan off the rails. Hector then said sorry. When Alan didn't move, Hector told Alan how he had been scared when he first came to Sodor. Alan soon understanded that coal isn't scary. It's fun. Edward and Hector pushes Alan to the Sodor Steamworks. Victor was suprised about helping a truck. Luckily, he had him fixed. When they arrived back at the Coaling﻿ Plant, The Fat Controller and the other engines were waiting to see Alan try. Alan rolled under the coal hopper. When the coal dust settled, Alan said that the coal was wonderful. Hector was so pleased he got a friend who was the same scared truck as he.

Plot
Oliver was puffing into the quarry. He likes to see his friend, Mavis. When he puffed to Mavis for a chat, he saw that Mavis was sad. Oliver didn't know what to do. He decided to cheer Mavis up. So he took Mavis out of the quarry. Oliver saw Charlie. He told him to tell a funny joke. Charlie tried, but Mavis didn't smile. Oliver then saw Thomas. Thomas tried to cheer Mavis up by smiling. But Mavis didn't smile. Then, Bash, Dash and Ferdinand pulled up. They said that Mavis could smile when she's on Misty Island. They came to the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre and went into the tunnel. They showed Mavis that when they biff and bash, they get a crash. Mavis didn't think it was fun. They shooked over Shake Shake Bridge. Mavis looked down. They watched Old Wheezy and Hee-Haw go crazy. Mavis was worried. When Oliver and his friends didn't know what to do, Percy arrived. He was with The Fat Controller and Mr. Bubbles. Percy told the engines that Mr. Bubbles has got a new trick. He had got stones from the quarry and can juggle them. Mr. Bubbles juggled and juggled. Just then, one of the stones bumped on his head. Mavis soon began to cheer up. Oliver and the Logging Locos gasped. Then, Mavis laughed and laughed. He asked Mr. Bubbles to do it again. He did. And soon, Mavis smiled. The engines cheered. They kept on cheering back to Sodor. Mavis and Oliver went with Mr. Bubbles to take the stone back to the quarry. Thomas and Charlie were there. They were pleased to see Mavis smiling again. Mavis told Charlie he can tell jokes if he wants to. And Thomas can smile all he likes. Oliver went to find the Logging Locos again. They were at the Sodor Steamworks. Oliver told them that they did try very hard to make Mavis smile, but a clown with stones are funnier. The Logging Locos agreed.
