Runaway Train .......... thomas the tank engine escapes from his train shed, and runs freely, without a driver, all over the british isles, sightseeing, whistling at onlookers, and giving signalbox operators heart attacks. the fat controller can't stop thomas, cos he's too big to fit into the helicopter (called budgie). postman pat joins the chase, thomas crushes his cat to pulp ....... fireman sam also gets roped in. At this point, bill and ben the flowerpot men are also hired, but all they do is stand around saying ''lobble dobble'' to each other. The Woodentops are parachuted in. Then somebody suggests calling international rescue .........
