Summary: "YO, Ho, Ho, and a bucket o' prauns. The tiller spins..."
Review: This video is great! It features three new characters, all new stories, and one new music video! Salty is an old diesel who tells tales of the sea. Harvey is a unique looking steam engine who has a big crane placed on his boiler, which he is often teased about. Elizabeth is a steam powered quarry truck who was Sir Topham Hatt's first truck and she is quite concited, which often annoys Thomas!

Salty's Secret: Salty, a dock yard diesel, comes to help Mavis, Bill and Ben complete a very important job for Sir Topham Hatt. Salty is upset that the work is in the quarry because he can't be at the docks. Still, he helps get the job done succesfuly. Meanwhile, Bill and Ben are jealous of Salty because the trucks only behave for him. They are still trying to figure out his secret. In the end, Salty is moved to Brendam docks because of his hard work.

Harvey To The Rescue: Sir Topham Hatt introduces Harvey, the crane engine, to the other engines. He explains that the Railway Board will let Harvey join the railway after a demonstration. Thomas is pleased to meet Harvey, but Percy, Gordon, Edward, James, and Henry tease him about his giant crane. Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt assure Harvey that his different looks make him "Special". Later, some trucks push Percy off the tracks at Bulgy's Bridge, blocking the road below. This makes Bertie late getting the gentlemen of the Railway Board to Harvey's demonstration. So Sir Topham Hatt goes to get Harvey to rescue Percy. Harvey does his demonstration at the bridge. Harvey not only saves Percy and the trucks, but he also gets to join the railway! Later that night, the engines decide Harvey is realy useful.

No Sleep For Cranky: Cranky never gets any sleep, which is why he's always rude. While holding some pipes, Salty, Bill and Ben start to get on his nerves. Cranky accidentally drops the pipes which role into the shed, trapping Salty and the twins. Cranky winds up listening to Salty's stories all night. Finally the next day, Harvey comes to rescue Salty, Bill and Ben. Cranky is now grateful Harvey works on the railway. For a little while, Cranky is nicer to Thomas, Percy, Salty, Harvey, Bill and Ben. But it doesn't last long!

The Fogman: Cyril is the Sodor fogman of Misty Valley. All the engines love him. He puts out detanators to warn them when there is fog ahead. It makes their axles tingle. But Sir Topham Hatt decides to replace their trusted fogman with a very loud fog horn. When it goes of for Percy, it causes a rock slide. The fog horn is crushed and is unable to warn Thomas, who crashes into the rockslide. With Toby coming and no foghorn, Toby could have an even worse accident! So Cyril comes to the rescue with a fog detanator to warn Toby. Toby is stopped and Thomas is later rescued by Toby and Percy. Sir Topham Hatt agrees with them that Cyril is much more reliable, so he puts him back on the job.

A Bad Day For Harold: Percy is upset when Harold has to take his place in the mail route. Ignoring his pilot's advice, Harold takes all of the mail bags at once. But their weight causes damage to his engine and Harold crashes upside down in a haystack. As quickly as possible, Percy proves to Harold that he is just fast as goes for help.

Elizabeth the Vintage Quarry Truck: While taking a special to the docks, Thomas breaks his coupling rods. After finding Elizabeth, an old and very rude steam truck, his driver and fireman set out to the fitters yards. Thomas is gald to be rid of her for while when he is given his new side rods. After reaching the docks, Elizabeth arrives to find Thomas talking to Sir Topham Hatt. They recognize each other right away. Thomas can't believe they're old friends! After some repairs, Elizabeth comes out looking as good as new and more concieted than ever! Thomas still doesn't like her company, too.

Music Video: James the Really Useful Engine:

"He's the really useful engine everybody knows,
But he does go on and on and on, always letting us know!
He really is a splendid fellow, but he really is quite vain.
Who do we need? Ya got it. James!

Take a look, who's comin' down the tracks!
Make way for James! Hooray for James!
Shiny, shiny paint with a checked black stack!
Make way for James! Hooray for James!
A tacky feelin', you really should not,
He's really beautiful, but let's take a vote.
He's the really splendid engine with the bright, red coat!

Heeeeeerrrrre he cooooommmmesss!
He could brag all day 'bout how fast he goes,
How good he looks, he's such a pose.
But whatta 'bout the time that he was covered in mud.
Oh, what a joke! What a duze!
But up and down the line, you'll here the others say,
despite his vanity, he really is okay.
Dependable, reliable and seldom late!
We all think James is great!

Speedin' down the line as we're rushing last!
Make way for James! Hooray for James!
Hang on to ya hat as he whooshes past!
Make way for James! Hooray for Jmaes

He really knows how to stay at the show.
You gotta stand back and watch him go!
He's the really splendid engine with the bright red coat!

He's makin' his way on down the tracks.
Make way for James! Hooray for James!
He never looks up. He never looks back!
Make way for James! Hooray for James!
A tacky, beaten and really quite vain,
He knows we love 'em just the same!

Look who's comin' on down the tracks!
Make way for James! Hooray for James!
Shiny, shiny paint with a checked black stack!
Make way for James! Hooray for James!

He's the really splendid engine!
Shiny, shiny engine!
He's the really splendid engine! Yep, that's are James!

That's James!

Summary: Thomas The Tank Engine Rocks TO THE MAX!!!
Review: Thomas The Tank Engine is the best character of my entire life. He is also funny. Here are the grades for these Episodes and the Music Video.

Salty's Secret (A) 95% 4:59 Salty came to the quarry. But he worked so hard. He sang songs with the trucks. That got Bill and Ben upset and jealous.

Harvey to the Rescue (A) 90% 5:10 Harvey was new to the Island of Sodor. He didn't wanted to stay after the engines were teasing him about his ununique look. But after when Percy was derailed. He helped him. After he rescued Percy. The engines said nice things to him.

No Sleep For Cranky (A+) 99% 5:10 After when Cranky kidnapped Salty and the twins Bill and Ben. He got stuck with Salty's never-ending stories for one night until Harvey comes to clean the mess up. After he cleaned. He became nice, but he was still cranky.

The Fogman (A+) 100% 5:05 Sir Topham Hatt made a new invention. It was loud. It made the hill side shake. Cero was now making his job. Putting fog deadmeaters on the tracks to warn engines when ever there is fog ahead.

A Bad Day For Harold (A) 89% 5:00 Percy loves carrying the mail. But when Harold does it. He gets upset. One day he was stuck in a broken signal. But when Harold was ready to clear off. The signal was fixed and Harold fell in the haystack

Elizabeth The Vintage Quarry Truck (A) 90% 4:45 Thomas had to go under a cargo ship that was scheduled at sundown. The load he carryed was too heavy. He broked his coupling rods. He saw a dirty, grimy steam truck. Thomas thought Elizabeth was the rudest truck ever. But now she came nice. She looked beautiful with her new coat of paint.

James The Really Splendind Engine (A+) 100% 2:35 This a song about James. I have the Best of James DVD, but it didn't feautre James The Really Splendid Engine. It feautred Don't Judge a Book Bye It's Cover.

Now this is one part of a good collection for your little Thomas fan. If they don't have a Thomas collection. You should start from this. If they want to collect Thomas Videos/DVDs and don't have this one. Buy it for your little angle.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: adult dvd???
Review: we could have saved the money for this dvd, because my 4 year old son stood up in the middle, explains, that it is for adults and never wants to see it again. Scence with old boats and fog frightend him.(Friends told me simalar storys about other thomas dvds.)
