Thomas Meets the Queen

Thomas Meets The Queen is the 23rd episode of the 4th Season, narrated by George Carlin .

PlotEdit
Queen Elizabeth II is coming to Sodor and Henry brags that he will be chosen to take the Royal Train, but these plans are soon put to rest when Henry disturbs a painter and a paintpot falls onto him. Thomas and Gordon apologise to the Fat Controller for being silly, and he allows Gordon to pull the Royal Train. On the big day, Thomas gets the coaches ready, and Edward clears the line in front. The Queen meets all the engines, and talks personally to Thomas, Edward and Gordon, Gordon feels proudest of all no engines than those on Sir Topham Hatt's railway could have been prouder.

 * While Thomas rolls his eyes, his face moves a little.
 * Thomas mysteriously vanishes after the Fat Controller leaves.
 * Henry's smoke is coming from his cab and his funnel.
 * This episode takes place straight after the events of "Down the Mine", but Duck and Donald, who have yet to arrive on Sodor, appear.
 * After Sir Topham Hatt forgives Thomas and Gordon, Gordon has Duck's whistle sound.
 * In a rare picture, Gordon's buffer is crooked.
 * In one scene, James gains an extra pair of wheels and, should Henry move forward, he would collide with the shed support pillar.
