Season 5 - Episode 5

Thomas is completely dirty after working at the mines and is jealous when James gets a new coat. But James isn't happy when he is asked to collect a goods train. As he does so, the weather turns stormy; it causes an old tree to slide down a steep hill onto James' track. James stops in time, but he can't back away from it, as his train is too heavy. Then, Thomas arrives and helps him to safety, just as the tree falls, narrowly missing James. Later, James apologises and Thomas gets a new oat of paint as a reward, whilst James gets to pull the Express the following day.
