The Missing Funnel

The Missing Funnel is the 4th episode of Thomas the Tank Engine Tales. It first aired on February 19th, 2013.

Plot
Thomas and Percy are shunting troublesome trucks in the yard. But Percy's trucks want to have some fun and bump Thomas. So they break away from Percy, and run straight into Thomas, causing his funnel to drop off, and fall into a hole in the ground. James and Toby arrive, and Toby is the first to point out that Thomas' funnel is missing. When Thomas realizes this, he begs everyone to help him find his funnel. So Toby, James, and Percy vow to help Thomas. They look behind freight cars, in dark tunnels, even in Tidmouth Sheds, but they are unable to find Thomas' funnel. Percy then comes up with an idea, if they can't find Thomas' funnel, they will just have to find a new funnel for him. So Percy, Toby, and James go to the works, and collect a flatbed full of funnels. When Percy, Toby, and James arrive back at the yard with the flatbed of funnels, Thomas tries them all on, but some are too long, too short, and not the right shape. In the end, Percy, Toby, and James tell Sir Topham Hatt about the problem. When Sir Topham Hatt arrives at the yard, he finds Thomas' funnel in the hole, and gives it back to Thomas. After that, Thomas is very grateful.
