Special Funnel

Special Funnel is the eleventh episode of the fourth season. It first aired on Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales in 1996 in the US.

Plot
It was wintertime and Peter Sam was still awaiting his new funnel, which, in his words, will be "something special". The other engines make fun of his talk about the new funnel. The weather soon becomes bad and there is a washout near the tunnel, so Rusty brings workmen to fix the bridge. As days go by, the weather changes and becomes frosty and cold. A few days later, the bridge was mended and Peter Sam was chuffing down the line with a passenger train. As he puffs through a tunnel, his cracked funnel is knocked off by an icicle in the tunnel and he has to use a discarded drainpipe for a funnel. Peter Sam's funnel eventually arrives and he discovers it makes his work easier. The engines don't make fun of Peter Sam's funnel anymore, because they wish they had one like it.

 * Peter Sam's funnel is completely knocked off, yet when he receives his new one, the base is still remaining.
 * Rheneas appears, but he's supposed to be at the works.
 * As Peter Sam passes Skarloey and Rheneas, a camera shadow is seen.
 * The narrator said that the drain pipe was wired to Peter Sam's boiler, but it was actually attached to his front by rope.
 * In the close up of Sir Handel, his eyes are wonky.
 * In a rare picture, Peter Sam is wearing Sir Handel's sad face. Also in that same picture, Skarloey's tank is slightly bent.
