A statue has been ordered to celebrate the Fat Controller's Railway and Thomas is sent to collect it from the Docks. At the Docks, Thomas is very eager to see the statue thinking that it might be of him as the statue's shape, outlined by the tarpaulin, is similar to his own. Cranky scoffs at Thomas for being vain. That night, Thomas cannot wait to tell his friends, but they are all fast asleep. So he wakes up Percy, who tells Thomas that having a statue of himself is nice.
The next morning, all of the engines are sent to have a washdown whilst Thomas collects other things for the statue ceremony. Thomas tells Edward, Emily, and Percy about his statue, which makes them all very cross. After his jobs, Thomas heads back to Tidmouth, determined to put things right with his friends.
However, the Fat Controller is worried; the snow has blocked the tracks to Abbey where the statue ceremony is to take place. Thomas kindly offers to get the tracks clear of the snow, despite his dislike of his snowplough. Thomas sets to work and soon all of the tracks to Abbey are clear for the engines. However, they are still cross with Thomas.
Suddenly, the snow starts to melt off of the statue and to everyone's surprise, it is not a statue of Thomas. It is a statue of the Steam Team with the Fat Controller. Even Thomas is relieved when he sees the true identity of the statue.
!!Tropes featured in the episode:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Thomas when he realizes that the shape of the statue looked like himself.
* AttentionWhore: Thomas tells Edward, Emily, and Percy that it's a statue of him much to their annoyance.
* GreeneyedMonster: Implied near the end. The Fat Controller is making a speech about how all of his engines are equally useful. The other engines however [[TheUnfavourite don't seem to buy it]] until they unveil the statue.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Thomas thinks that it's a statue with him on it and brags to the others about it, he later learns from this.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Cranky calls out Thomas for being vain about the statue.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The engines were shocked when Thomas willingly volunteers to clear the snow for the engines despite hating his snowplough.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Percy gives one to Thomas after hearing too much boasting about "his" statue.
-->'''Percy''': Please stop talking about the statue! Nobody wants to hear about it anymore! Nobody wants to talk to you anymore! And neither do I!
* RuleOfThree: Thomas tells three engines - Edward, Emily, and then Percy - about the statue, making them cross with him.

Thomas is to haul a special statue from Brendam Docks, which is in celebration of the railway’s many, fine years of service. When Thomas observes the shape of the soon to be monument beneath the tarpaulin, he is sure that it is of himself. How right or wrong could Thomas be?
