But soon, Thomas felt sick and when he stopped at the station he found out he had fish in his tanks. Thomas' Driver took him to the river and took water from the river. Until one day, the water tower at the junction was out of order. His Driver told him engines can't go fishing, but that didn't stop Thomas from wanting to fish. When Thomas saw people fishing in a river, he wanted to join in. Thomas felt bad, but the Guard told Thomas it was okay and Thomas left again feeling better. Annie and Clarabel tried to warn him, but Thomas took no notice until he reached a signal and the Guard came running behind them. He was in such a hurry when he left, he forgot the Guard. Later, Thomas was cross that Henry made him late. As a reward, Thomas was given the Ffarquhar Branch Line and his own two coaches, Annie and Clarabel. Until one day, James had an accident and Thomas got the Breakdown Train to save him. Unfortunately, they bumped Thomas down a hill and nearly made him crash! As punishment, Thomas was left in the yard to learn about trucks.

Then, Edward decided to switch jobs with Thomas, letting Thomas take his trucks. However, he was too impatient and left without being coupled to his coaches. Later, when Henry was ill, Thomas was asked to take his train. Gordon took Thomas on the express all the way to Vicarstown, and Thomas decided not to tease Gordon anymore. He enjoyed teasing the other engines, especially Gordon, until one day, the big blue engine pulled out of the station with Thomas coupled to the back of his train.

Thomas used to work at Knapford as a station pilot.
