Thomas and Friends (Season 2)

The second season of the television series aired in 1986. Ringo Starr narrated all twenty-six episodes in the UK as well as sixteen of them in the US, with George Carlin later re-narrating all of the episodes for the US.

Thomas, Percy and the Coal/Double Trouble
Thomas brags to Percy and Toby about "how blue is the only proper colour for a really useful engine". He ends up getting trapped under a coal hopper, and promptly blames an amused Percy.

Cows/A Cow on the Line
Gordon and Henry tease Edward after some cows break part of his train away. Several days later, Gordon and Henry end up with a cow blocking their lines.

Bertie's Chase
Thomas' fireman isn't able to come in to work one day and Bertie agrees to take his passengers. Edward, unaware of the change of plan, leaves before Bertie arrives.

Saved from Scrap
At the scrapyard, Edward meets a traction engine called Trevor, who is due to be broken up, despite being in good condition. Edward is determined to save him, and finds a person to do so.

Old Iron
Edward proves he isn't so slow when James runs away.

Thomas and Trevor/A New Friend for Thomas
Trevor is bored of working in the vicarage orchard, so Edward takes him to meet and help Thomas at the harbour. Slowly but surely, a skeptical Thomas gains a respect for the traction engine.

Percy and the Signal
Percy was playing tricks on the bigger engines; first annoying Gordon and then tricking James to stay in his shed all day. For revenge, James and Gordon trick Percy into misreading a signal, referring to it as a "backing signal".

Duck Takes Charge
The Fat Controller buys an engine named Montague (nicknamed Duck) to help out an overworked Percy. The big engines start ordering him about. Duck and Percy decide to take matters into their own hands.

Percy and Harold/Percy Proves a Point
Percy challenges a helicopter called Harold to a race to the harbour.

The Runaway
Thomas wasn't feeling well and has to go to the works. When he comes back, but with a problem in his brakes. This proves disastrous when a temporary fireman forgets to tighten them properly, and Thomas puffs away.

Percy Takes the Plunge
Percy wants to see why he was forbidden to pass the "Danger" board on the quay, but finds out that he had disobeyed.

Pop Goes the Diesel
A diesel engine named 'Diesel' arrives on the island and Duck is given the task of showing him what to do. Diesel boasts that his kind know everything, so Duck leaves him to shunt some trucks alone, with disastrous results.

Dirty Work/Diesel's Devious Deed
Diesel was still cross with Duck, blaming him for the aftermath of the other day. As revenge, Diesel gossips to the trucks about Duck, which the bigger engines end up believing.

A Close Shave/A Close Shave for Duck
During his stay with Edward, Duck finds himself on the receiving end of runaway trucks, but manages to control them, despite crashing into a barber's shop.

Better Late Than Never
Thomas is held up by repairs on the viaduct and Bertie gives him a hard time, until he breaks down.

Break Van/Donald and Douglas
Donald and Douglas are twins whom the Fat Controller had bought from Scotland to help out, although "only one engine had been expected". He intends to send one of them back, and a spiteful brake van doesn't help the twins at all.

The Deputation
Heavy snow has fallen on Sodor, but Donald and Douglas are used to it, using their snowploughs to clear the line. After they help Henry from a snowdrift, the other engines are determined to help them out to stay on Sodor.

Thomas Comes to Breakfast
Thomas' driver jokingly tells him that he could almost manage running the branch line without him. Thomas doesn't realize this, and pays the price dearly after trying to move by himself and crashing straight into a stationmaster's house.

Daisy
Daisy, a diesel railcar, has been bought to help Percy and Toby while Thomas is sent to the works to be mended. However, she proves to be very stubborn and starts making excuses to avoid work.

Percy's Predicament
Toby offers to swap jobs with Percy so he can have a rest from taking the milk Daisy keeps leaving behind. Unfortunately, Percy has never worked at the quarry before, and the trucks are quick to take advantage of this, with a disastrous result.

The Diseasel
Bill and Ben are twins who work at the China Clay Pits. One day, they are aghast when they discover that their trucks have gone missing. They mistakenly believe that their trucks were "magicked away" by a "diseasel" and go on a search to find them.

Wrong Road
Gordon remarks that branch lines are vulgar, and that the Fat Controller would never approve of him running on it. However, he ends up there due to a case of mistaken identity involving a lady's hat, where Bill and Ben are waiting.

Edward's Exploit
Some tourists are visiting the Island of Sodor, and Edward is due to take them to meet Bill and Ben. On the journey back, one of his crank pins, which hold his side rods on, breaks off. Despite this, Edward presses on, and gets the tourists back safely.
