Go To

1* The scene where Sir Topham Hatt tells Thomas he can't take part in the Shunting Challenge due to his accident, and that Percy has to take his place. Sir Topham looks legitimately ''heartbroken'' during this scene, like a parent telling his ill child that he can't come on vacation with the rest of the family. It doesn't help that Percy is worried about competing, and Ashima coming in to say goodbye before they all leave for the Mainland. The scene ends with Thomas alone at the Steamworks looking miserable and heartbroken.
2* When Gordon bursts his safety valve, taking him out of the race. The Flying Scotsman, despite his teasing nature towards Gordon, looks genuinely sad for him, and dithers for a moment whether to get back into the race.
3* The end when Thomas wants to say goodbye to Ashima and can't find her anywhere, asuming she already left.
