Pixie's Fear

"Pixie's Fear" is the first episode of the THC Season 7.

Plot:
In the summer time, the engines on the narrow gauge railway work hard, but their wheels ache after a days work, so the Fat Controller decided to bring back an old friends who had an absence for a long period of time. Her name was Pixie, but the engines were cross with her. She never wnated to do any work, always moaning and complaing when she was being taught by Skarloey & Rheneas how to handle trucks and coaches. Later that day, she took some coaches full of passengers to Castle Loch, but was afraid of the water, after her accident from many years ago.

Pixie always hated going to Castle Loch, she thought of sinking into the forbidden water and never rising back up the surface. This frightened her a lot, and she bcame very unstable and didn't want to pull trains to the station. The other engines were starting to get worried but Duncan took this as his chance and teased her about her accident when she almost sunk in the water by the Wharf and never returned to high ground. The other engines were most annoyed and just told Pixie to ignore him after it all.

Next day, Pixie waited by the riverbank for her passengers to climb on board into her carriges, just as Skarloey passed the station platform and bumped into Pixie. One minute she was on the rails, the next she was off, along with a loud splash as she sunk into the muddy waters and started to sink. Skarloey had to work fast and pulled her with all his might out of the muddy riverbank. At last, both the engines were relieved that nobody was hurt in the accident, but Pixie had overcome her fear of water, from now on she would never fear anything else ever again.
