'''Air date''': September 21st, 2018 (UK); April 13th, 2019 (US)
Hong-Mei tells Thomas that the water wheel he is carrying is made from bamboo and is very important. But in his eagerness to discover other things made from bamboo, Thomas forgets about his mission and ends up taking a shortcut via a low bridge, which knocks the water wheel off his flatbed and sends it rolling off across the Chinese countryside!
!! Tropes:
* AlliterativeTitle: The '''W'''ater '''W'''heel.
* AnAesop: Bamboo can be used for a variety of things and is very strong.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Even though bamboo is indeed very strong and light, there's no way that an actual water wheel would bounce around all cartoony like it did in this episode.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Once again, Thomas gets distracted from his mission by his curiosity. This time, its about the various functions of bamboo.
* BigNo: Thomas says "NOOOOOO!" at one point.
* CallBack: In the AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle segment, Thomas recalls the events of "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS17E4GordonRunsDry Gordon Runs Dry]]".

** This is the second time a character has to deliver a water wheel, the first being in season 12's "Steady Eddie".
* FerrisWheelOfDoom: Well, more like "Water Wheel of Doom", but in this episode the water wheel behaves like a typical runaway ferris wheel.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Some women yell in Chinese.
* ImagineSpot: Thomas has one where he is made of bamboo.
* IncrediblyLamePun: "''Wheely'' useful!"
* IrisOut: This episode has one.
* LampshadeHanging: Hong-Mei tells Thomas to stop daydreaming, lampshading the frequent fantasy sequences he has throughout the season.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Thomas has this sort of reaction when the water wheel goes missing.
* StockFootage: Some stock footage from ''WesternAnimation/JourneyBeyondSodor'' can be seen in the AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle segment.
