Could you try this episode idea in the future? I was thinking of one called 'Mr. Percival's New Bike'. I was thinking that Mr. Percival is riding his bike on an outing with his family, and at the place of their destination, something hard and heavy falls on the bike, crushing it to pieces. Mr. Percival is really upset about his bike, because it is beyond repair. Although the bell still seems in fine shape. Thomas takes Mr and Mrs. Percival and the children home. And Mr. Percival keeps the bell as a reminder. Thomas wants to help Mr. Percvial find a new bike, because he knows he can't afford one at the moment. But then he has an idea. If the driver can't buy Mr. Percival a new bike, they'll make him one instead.

For a whole week, Mr. Percival has to go from place to place by car, much to his dismay. He complains that the cars are always going to fast for his liking and about waiting in long traffic jams. He even ends up giving the Skarloey engines the wrong jobs due to being late and forgetting his list of jobs for his engines.

During these seven days, Thomas has been collecting the parts needed for Mr. Percival's new bike He manages to find a spare bicycle light at the Steamworks and asks Victor if he can have it, to which Victor accepts. He then finds some rusty but unbattered bicycle pedals as Crocks Scrap Yard, which Reg lets him have. Thomas then goes to collect some paint for the pedals. Finally he picks up some metal tubes and handle bars along with two wheels on which the tyres haven't worn out. He then asks his driver to put the pieces together for the next time the Percival family go on a outing. On the day of the family's next outing, Thomas arrives at their house, just in time to see the old but unharmed bicycle bell be put on. Mr. Percival is more than delighted that his bicycle is back and can't wait to try it out, but not before being reminded to ride it safely.

BTW, I'm going to make this the last episode idea I request for a week.
