Duck, Edward, Thomas and all the engines on Sir Topham Hatt's line are delighted when Stepney comes to visit them from the famous Bluebell Railway - a real railway where old engines can find a Use and a Happy Home. They are all soon firm friends, and before he goes Stepney shows a scornful big Diesel just what an old engine can do!

1. Bluebells of England
2. Stepney's Special
3. Train Stops Play

Originally a 2-parter on The Railfan Brony channel, Zack Wanzer (Disgust), along with Matt St. Onge (Anger) and newbie Rachel Raven (Sadness), talks about his most despised trope ever - villain redemption. The three of them cover the villain redemptions from Equestria Girls, My Little Pony and Thomas and Friends - both the redemptions that worked, and those that havent.
In case anyone asks, the script was written in August 2018, so some thoughts may or may or not be outdated.
