DVD SYNOPSIS

Join Thomas in his biggest adventure yet. One day, while racing James across the Island of Sodor, Thomas discovers Great Waterton, a long-lost deserted town high in the mountains. Everyone on the island is thrilled with his discovery and Sir Topham Hatt, controller of the railway, declares that the town will be restored to mark Sodor Day.

Thomas is given the important job of overseeing the restorations. While Thomas is busy, a new engine arrives on the Island - Stanley. Stanley is similar to Thomas only a bit bigger, a bit stronger and in Thomas' eyes a bit more popular. Thomas feels his position as the Island of Sodor's #1 engine is under threat and he decides to play a trick on Stanley to make him look silly. The plan backfires, and Thomas finds himself in trouble. While lost, Thomas stumbles into an action-packed adventure down an old mineshaft, along a raging river and leaping over huge mountainous chasms.

Sir Topham Hatt orders the biggest search ever and who should come to Thomas's rescue, but none other than Stanley. On the way back to town Stanley breaks down and now it's Thomas's turn to do the rescuing. The two engines make a great team and with their friendship now on track Stanley and Thomas finish the restoration of Great Waterton in time for Sodor Day.
