Awesome / Thomas & Friends

aka: Thomas The Tank Engine

Thomas & Friends has a list of moments of engines doing awesome things, proving that they are Really Useful Engines.

General

• Anytime an engine or other character absolutely refuses to give up on the task they're given.
  • For that manner, anytime an engine saves another engine or other vehicle character from scrap.
• Pretty much anytime Gordon or James don't get a Break the Haughty moment and manage to prove what splendid engines they really are. "Down The Mine" and "Gordon And Spencer" (for Gordon) and "Troublesome Trucks" and "James and the Express" (for James) are good examples.
  Trucks: Give up! You can't pull us! You can't! You can't!
  James: I can and I will, I can and I will!
  • Gordon actually proved capable of bringing other engines down to size as well. He swiftly proved annoying prankster engines such as Thomas and Percy to be out of their league ("Thomas and Gordon"/"Thomas Gets Tricked", "Percy and the Signal") and can sometimes put slacker engines in their place in a very blunt, nonchalant fashion ("Scruff's Makeover").
  Gordon: You may be shiny and clean, but if you don't do your job, then you're not a really useful engine any more.

Main Series

Season 1

Thomas and Gordon / Thomas Gets Tricked

• An early one is Gordon getting back at Thomas — after the tank engine repeatedly keeps calling him "lazybones" and loudly whistling to wake him up whenever he's napping — by not letting him be uncoupled from pulling Gordon's coaches into the station and pulling Thomas along on one of his fast express routes; complete with gleefully taunting him back all the while, and his theme triumphantly playing on the journey. By the end of the run, Thomas is exhausted; and on his long, slow route back home, has to remind himself never to be that cheeky to Gordon again.
  Gordon: (chuckling to himself with satisfaction) Well, little Thomas! Now you know what hard work means, don't you?

Edward and Gordon / Edward Helps Out

• Edward helping Gordon (who got stuck while pulling a line of dirty trucks) up the hill and after that, his driver promised to give him a new coat of paint.

The Sad Story of Henry / Come Out, Henry!

• Thomas' first great moment happens when he is called in to push Henry out of the tunnel. And despite Henry being much larger and heavier than the tank engine and actively resisting Thomas' attempts by having his brakes hard on, Thomas still manages to move him several inches.

Edward, Gordon, and Henry / Henry to the Rescue

• Henry and Edward taking the heavy Express after Gordon burst his safety valve earlier, especially so for Henry given that he'd only just been let out of the tunnel that he'd been sealed in for quite some time.
• Henry's Character Development in overcoming his fear of the rain in the end of the episode.

Thomas and the Breakdown Train / Thomas Saves the Day

• Thomas' second (and still one of his biggest) CMOA is when he rescues a derailed James. Extra points for making the troublesome trucks, who made a fool of him in the previous story, whimper and cower before him, even slamming one of the trucks hard into another truck being lifted as karma. Once Thomas successfully rescues James, he's rewarded by finally receiving a branch line to call his own.
  • Thomas' act was so heroic that he manages to impress Gordon, who otherwise doesn't have a very high opinion of anyone, to the point where he always whistles good-naturedly at Thomas whenever they meet.

Troublesome Trucks / Foolish Freight Cars

• James successfully pulls a goods train that constantly held him back or gave him problems. Even more awesome considering the example mentioned above had James knocked off the rails by a similar train but handled them smartly and avoided an accident the next time. Sir Topham Hatt put it best in the closing moments of the episode:
  Sir Topham Hatt (Ringo Starr): After that, you deserve to keep your red coat.
  Sir Topham Hatt (George Carlin): After that performance, you deserve to keep your red coat!

Thomas and the Guard / Thomas and the Conductor

• The guard/conductor, after being accidentally left behind at a station, runs after Thomas' train on foot. Dude's got stamina.

Thomas, Terence, and the Snow / Terence the Tractor

• Terence rescuing Thomas after the latter gets himself trapped coach-deep in snow. This was after Thomas previously insulted Terence's "ugly" caterpillar tracks, and damaging the snowplough his own driver made him wear to counteract the snow.

Thomas and Bertie / Thomas and Bertie's Great Race

• Thomas and Bertie's eponymous race, with both of them constantly neck-to-neck on both rails and roads. Thomas only won because Bertie had to climb uphill while Thomas goes through a tunnel.

Trouble in the Shed

• Gordon, James, and Henry tire of shunting and go on strike since they see themselves as important tender engines, and when Edward, another tender engine, is hired to collect their trains for them, he gets the scab treatment and insulted and hissed at constantly for having "black/grey wheels". The Fat Controller then hires Percy, who befriends Edward. Later, as Henry comes by hissing again, Percy outdoes him with a loud, enormous wheesh, sending Henry rushing back into the shed startled.

Coal / Henry's Special Coal

• The episode begins with Henry saddened of his worsening condition, but after receiving special Welsh coal, he's now a stronger and happier engine and even arrives to the station before a surprised Thomas. He follows up with smugly taunting Thomas for being late, possibly to return the favor of the No Sympathy treatment Thomas gave him in "Thomas and the Guard / Thomas and the Conductor".
  Henry: (with a big satisfied grin) Where have you been, lazybones? Oh, I can't wait for dawdling tank engines like you! Goodbye! (departs from the station)
  Thomas: (legitimately surprised, to Annie and Clarabel) Whoosh! Have you ever seen anything like it?

The Flying Kipper

• Just Henry pulling the Flying Kipper is an awesome sight. Doubles with an epic version of his Leitmotif playing as he emerges from the shipyard, with the sun slowly rising behind him.
• After the accident with the Flying Kipper, Henry returns from Crewe with a brand new shape, becoming an even stronger engine than he was in the previous episode and no longer needing his Welsh coal. He even pulls the Express so well that this made Gordon jealous.

Whistles and Sneezes

• Gordon complains and scolds Henry for whistling loudly at the station, telling him that "it isn't wrong, but we just don't do it". Gordon then ends up whistling very loudly himself due to an out-of-place whistle. Henry decides to rub it in after Gordon has his whistle fixed by saying, "It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it".
• Henry giving comeuppance to a group of boys on the bridge who threw rocks at his coaches and broke their windows; he has his smokebox filled with ash so that when he passes underneath the bridge again, he sneezes and covers the boys head-to-toe in soot, stopping them from throwing any more rocks. Their shocked expressions afterwards are priceless.

Dirty Objects / James in a Mess

• When Toby and Percy clean up James’ accident. The entire scene is an awesome Ironic Echo for Toby; as it's now James on the the receiving end of humiliation in front of the Troublesome Trucks - right down to his ego getting burned. Karma is truly a bitch.

Season 2

Saved From Scrap

• Edward arranging for Trevor to be purchased by the Vicar in order to save him from being scrapped. Because everyone on Sodor fears getting scrapped, Edward's act of heroism would make a chain reaction and later inspire Douglas and his drivers in Season 3, and then Rusty in Season 4.

Old Iron

• Thomas and Percy get points for telling off James for insulting Edward's age and competence on the rails, saying that Edward could beat James in a race any day.
• Soon after that, James' driver takes ill and some boys fiddle with his controls. This results in James running away out of control and screaming for help. Edward then proves that despite being "Old Iron", he is far from slow. He manages to catch up to James and keep side-by-side long enough for an engine inspector to lasso the latter's right buffer and for his fireman to get on board and bring him under control, saving the red engine from a potential accident. This prompts James to apologize to Edward for his insult.

Duck Takes Charge

• Duck standing up to Gordon, Henry, and James. Seriously, until he showed up, poor Percy was picked on by them endlessly. It's not hard to see why Duck and Percy are good friends; Duck was the first engine who stood up for the little guy.
• The Fat Controller shows a great display of his authority by yelling out "SILENCE!" to the big engines and tells them off for their bullying towards Percy and Duck. While he admits he isn't impressed by the smaller engines' retaliation either, he wholeheartedly agrees with their feelings, letting the big engines know that it's his railway and only he gives the orders.

A Close Shave / A Close Shave For Duck

• Duck saving an entire train of passengers from runaway freight cars. The dialogue afterwards says it all:
  Barber: "I didn't know you were being a brave engine."
  Duck: "That's alright, sir, I didn't know that, either!"
• The chase scene deserves some mention as well.
• The Fat Controller revealing he Out-Gambitted Diesel, as he never believed him in the first place, and had sent Duck away to lure Diesel into a false sense of security so he would slip up and expose himself.

Break Van / Donald and Douglas

• Donald gives a hard bump to The Spiteful Brake Van for deliberately making Douglas' trains late, making him behave better (temporarily). Then in the end, Douglas, albeit accidentally, smashes the brake van in pieces while pushing behind James' train up the hill, which is satisfying considering that the brake van caused so much trouble for Douglas and got exactly what's coming to him.

Wrong Road

• When BoCo arrives where Gordon, Bill and Ben, all Gordon says to him is, "BoCo, my dear engine, save me!", yet said diesel manages to figure out that Bill and Ben are jokingly threatening to either send Gordon for scrap or dump him in the sea. Those are some god-tier deduction skills.

Edward's Exploit

• Edward gets the train rolling again despite his broken crankpin and that triumphant reprise of his theme starts playing. The passengers cheer when he arrives at the station, even though he's late.

Season 3

Percy's Promise

• Percy manages to bring a Sunday School excursion train back to the end of Thomas' Branch Line through a flooded section of track. And the TV episode featured the Storm Theme, which would later be played in Season 4's "Gallant Old Engine".

Toby's Tightrope"

• Mavis pulling Toby to safety off a decaying bridge, despite the odds against her.

Escape

• Douglas follows Edward's earlier actions and saves Toad and Oliver from being scrapped by sneaking them past station security and putting them at work elsewhere.

Heroes

• Bill and Ben saving everybody from a collapsing quarry.

Season 4

Bulldog

• Duke holding back Sir Handel after the latter slips off the rails and almost falls off a cliff.

Four Little Engines

• Skarloey continues on even though he was badly worn out and now with a front spring broken.

Gallant Old Engine

• In a flashback, Rheneas has a moment where after suffering a jammed valve gear on one side, he still struggles onward with his train.
  • Made even better by the Awesome Music which plays while he struggles on. And he HAD TO finish his journey, or else the railway would close.

Rusty to the Rescue

• Inspired by Douglas saving Toad and Oliver from being scrapped in Season 3, Rusty saves Stepney from obscurity by arranging to have him put on the Bluebell branch line so he can be useful again, after Stepney mentions that he likes bluebell flowers.
  • Even if the episode is just a retread of "Escape", you have to admit, the scene with Stepney and Rusty escaping is AMAZING. The triumphant remix of Rusty's theme signifying their freedom and the shot of them running over the Viaduct sells it.

Toad Stands By

• After Oliver's accident, the trucks on Sodor tease him constendly, singing songs and playing tricks. They're lead by S.C.Ruffey, an old privately-owned wagon. What does Oliver do? He pulls S.C.Ruffey apart. The trucks have never played a trick on Oliver since.
  • It was also the first time a truck had been DEFEATED, instead of injured or punished.
  • That's if you don't count the Spiteful Breakvan, which still makes it only the second time.

Bowled Out

• A snooty diesel fails after sucking a bowler hat through his air intake, when due to take an express (15 coaches in the original book). The only engines left are Duck (an ex-GWR 57xx tank engine, built in the late 1920s for light passenger, station pilot duties, and shunting), and Stepney (an ex-LBSCR A1X "Terrier" tank engine, built in the 1870s for even lighter passenger, station pilot duties, and shunting). They manage to get the train to their destination early. And to cap it all off, this is the last duty Stepney performs before going back to his slightly less hectic preserved line in England.

Season 5

Cranky Bugs

• Percy pulling Cranky over when he insults him and Thomas by calling them "mites" even though they just helped put him back up after he collapsed in a thunderstorm.

James and the Trouble with Trees

• Repeating his actions in Season 1's "Thomas and the Breakdown Van"/"Thomas Saves the Day", Thomas saves James from a fallen tree that had slid onto the railway due to erosion by pulling James away before the tree could tip over and fall on him.

Toby and the Flood

• Percy and Harold pulling Toby to safety after the bridge he is on goes adrift and floats towards a waterfall.

Stepney Gets Lost

• The Fat Controller himself pulling a Big Damn Heroes by saving Stepney from getting scrapped in the smelters by 'Arry and Bert, after Stepney had been kidnapped by them.

A Surprise for Percy

• What does the Fat Controller say when he's told of a runaway train that may roll into a village? "Then we'll just have to stop them, won't we?" He then gets in his car and leads the chase after the runaway trucks. Also notable is how, in the UK narration, he's referred to by name as Sir Topham Hatt instead of the Fat Controller after delivering said line.

Rusty and the Boulder

• After encountering the eponymous Boulder, Rusty gets into an awesome but nerve-wracking high-speed chase as Boulder rolls after him with the intention of crashing into Rusty, even narrowly evading Boulder after Rusty realizes it managed to roll behind him after he hid himself the first time.

Season 6

A Friend in Need

• Jack jumping in and saving Thomas from falling off a bridge, which mirrors what Mavis did for Toby in Season 3.

The World's Strongest Engine

• Henry pulling 20 trucks. Note that this was the first time in the television series we seen an engine pulling that many trucks.
  • There's also the elaborate Batman Gambit that Percy and the trucks pull off to get Diesel sent away, leading to a hilarious Humiliation Conga for Diesel.

Edward, the Really Useful Engine

• Edward pushes behind both Gordon's Express and Duck's goods train up Gordon's Hill. In short, he was the back engine for two trains. This is intriguing considering that Gordon earlier thinks Edward should retire in not a moment too soon and also claimed that he doesn't need a back engine.
  • Note that the entire thing was a Xanatos Gambit planned by the Fat Controller after he caught Gordon mocking Edward, putting Edward off his branchline, knowing exactly when and how things would go wrong to demonstrate his importance.

Season 7

Emily's New Coaches

• Emily makes her debut by saving a broken-down Oliver by pushing him away from the track where Thomas was approaching.

Thomas Saves the Day

• Thomas making it through a sharp bend without Annie and Clarabel's help. Right afterwards, he manages to alert the signalman to divert a set of runaway trucks from crashing into a station, wrapping up both plots nicely.

Fish

• Doubles as Funny Moment; Salty No Selling a goods train filled with fish smashing into his rear. He even smiles nonchalantly after being splattered with fish, reminding him of the sea.

Season 9

Thomas and the New Engine

• Thomas mirrors Mavis's act of saving Toby in Season 3 by preventing Neville, Annie and Clarabel from toppling off the ledge of an unfinished bridge.

  • Later, after realizing Hector was just playing tough out of timidness, Thomas immediately becomes apologetic and helps him get over his fears. Doubles into a Heartwarming Moment.

Season 16

Welcome Stafford

• After Stafford is bossed around by Spencer all day, Spencer gets himself stranded without any coal. Stafford proceeds to nonchalantly shunt him all the way to Knapford Station.

Season 17

Henry's Hero

• Henry and Hiro both end up taking low-quality coal, which ends up clogging their works. Henry backs out of his jobs out of caution, leaving Hiro to take the train they were currently taking. He finds the long line of stone hoppers too heavy to take on his own with the bad coal, so what does he do? He heads for a siding, and then takes half of the train to the docks before returning for the rest, even as his boiler becomes more and more clogged with ash. After being assigned a steel-girder train, he manages to persuade Henry to take it with him, but then breaks down. This leads to the biggest CMOA of all in the episode. Henry, who has regained his confidence, almost effortlessly manages to push the entire train along with Hiro up Gordon's Hill and the entire rest of the way. After suffering from many seasons of Badass Decay, both Henry and Hiro manage to prove their worth as heavy-goods engine for the railway.

Not Now, Charlie!

• The entire episode is one for Charlie, whom many older fans find annoying due to his jokes. He finds an elephant on the line and actually takes responsibility for once, trying to get help to get the elephant to safety. Even though his friends think it's a joke, he still takes action and heads over to the Rescue Center to get help from Harold, who helps track down the elephant. After four seasons of being an irresponsible idiot, Charlie finally takes action and is rightfully praised for preventing a dangerous situation.

He even sticks up for James afterwards when the Fat Controller reprimands James for his carelessness.
  • James owning up to his mistake is arguably this as well.

Marion and the Pipe

• Marion saves Gordon from crashing into a boulder that had strayed onto his line. She can't pick it up with her bucket, so she resorts to striking it like a golf ball.

Toad's Bright Idea

Steam Team To the Rescue

• Throughout the episode, the other members of the Steam Team had to fill in for the Diesels due to them being trapped in their sheds at the Dieselworks, and as a result, they're all very tired. When Thomas hears from Harold that Percy's trapped at Brendam Docks and Carly is about to sink into the water, Thomas manages to give a Rousing Speech to the other members of the Steam Team to convince them that they can't give up when Percy needs their help.
  Thomas: Before you cool your boilers, there's one more job and we all have to do it together, as a team!
  Rebecca: I'm so tired!
  Gordon: Not today!
  James: I'm tired enough as it is!
  Thomas: I know, I know. We've been doing our regular jobs and filling in for the Diesels... because that's what we do, right? Engines help engines!
  Gordon: We've been doing that all day!
  Thomas: But we... I mean, I... I mean, nobody was there to help Percy. He's been at the Docks all day, on his own! Now, there's been an accident and Percy's trapped and Carly's in trouble, too!

World of Tomorrow

• When Bernie breaks the remote to Dr. Kim's Amazing Metal Man, causing the invention to go haywire and wreak havoc on Sir Robert's Dinosaur Park, Thomas uses Dr. Hetty's Mighty Magnet and an oil tanker to bring it back.
• Gordon and Rebecca helping Thomas chase after the two criminals. Especially Gordon, who immediately takes action.
  Thomas: Quick, you two! They're getting away with Ruth's plans!
  Rebecca: Oh, no! C'mon, Gordon! Let's go!
  Gordon: Uncouple my coaches!
• On the villains' side of things, Baz plans to steal the plans for Ruth's hovercar, which Sonny wants no part in. At first, Baz appears to be escaping on Sonny, but once Thomas stops him, it is revealed that Baz was never on Sonny at all, and merely tied up Sonny's regulator to get him to run by himself. His real plan was to escape with the plans on Kenji and use Sonny to distract Thomas.
• Thomas, Professor Friedrich, Sir Topham Hatt, Sir Robert, Ruth, Gordon, and Rebecca all teaming up to stop Baz from getting away with Ruth's hovercar plans on Kenji. Thomas uses Professor Freidrich's booster rocket to catch up with Kenji, while Sir Robert and Ruth use their flying cars and Sir Topham Hatt uses Dr. Kim's Amazing Metal Man.
  Baz: Nothing can stop me now!
  Thomas: What about one of the best inventions ever?
  Baz: What? A booster rocket?
  Thomas: No, the #1 engine!

Sonny's Second Chance

• Sonny wasting no time to save Diesel from falling into a trench, despite the two having a falling-out when the latter revealed to Percy that he only pretended to be his friend to trick him into doing the jobs he doesn't like for him. This act of heroism earns him the admiration of the bigger engines, who earlier didn't trust him because he used to work for Baz and Bernie.
• When Sir Topham Hatt arrives at the scene of the accident, he is about to send Sonny away in disgrace for derailing Diesel's fish trucks, but Diesel sticks up for Sonny by admitting to Sir Topham Hatt that the accident was his fault, not Sonny's, and that Sonny saved him from falling into the trench.
