It’s time for the children’s summer party, and Thomas is sad when he finds that Emily is taking the children to the party. Thomas, however, is given the job of taking milk to the ice cream factory (for the ice cream for the party) and butter to the baker for him to make cakes for the party. However, whilst taking the milk, he has a race with Emily, and when he arrives at the ice-cream factory, the milk is half-churned to butter. Thomas has to go back and collect more milk, and he worries that he won’t have enough time to collect the butter.

During winter, the Narrow Gauge Engines have to bring coal from the mines to keep the Mountain Village warm. The trucks—like the Slate Mines—are transported up and down the steep incline.

Skarloey feels bad at running away and wants to be a hero too.

So the next time he delivers empty trucks to the mines, he decides to be hauled up the incline with the empty trucks. Unfortunately, despite getting the other engines’ eager attention, Skarloey’s additional weight damages the winch, sending him flying back down the track and into a snowdrift!
