S9 Ep.12: Toby Feels Left Out

THESE ARE SOLEY MY OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE 

TOBY FEELS LEFT OUT
Written by
Simon A. Brown 

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
9/10/05

Plot:
A new museum is to be opened and all the engines are needed for their repaint. However, Toby wasn't informed about it and thought the Fat Controller was going to put him into the museum as he's an old engine. 

PRO:
- The museum carriage 

CON:
- Poor moral: Old people can be no hopers
- Toby was out of character
- Despite the good looking museum carriage, why can't he pull Henrietta?

A poor episode, Toby is out of character in this episode. Back in the old days of Thomas & Friends, the Fat Controller saved Toby from the closure of his old railway. Why on earth would Toby be scared that the Fat Controller would put him into the museum, this gives out a poor teaching moral to kids saying that old people would have no hope in the modern world? I've seen many old people, heck even my mum and dad. They're wise, friendly and I love hearing about their days when they were young, they may not know a lot, but I still enjoy hearing from them. 

The museum carriage is great, but it was a repainted red carriage when you look at it. But despite the spot on carriage, why couldn't he use Henrietta? That is his carriage and he takes her everywhere.
