5 out of 5 stars Awsome,sadly cancelled.   February 10, 2007
This was one of the greatest Thomas tapes ever.This,Thomas Breaks The Rules and Better Late Than Never were the best ones yet.It's a shame they took it off the market.Since they were releasing Seasons 2-4 on DVD,there's a chance that the 3 tapes I mentioned may get re-released,since James Learns A Lesson was re-released.You can get these classic episdoes,along with the Thomas Breaks The Rules and Better Late Than Never on other complimation tapes re-narrarated by George Carlin on Thomas Comes To Breakfast and A Big Day For Thomas.You can at least get a used copy here [...].

This is one of the best Thomas Tapes. It is my second favorite Ring Starr narrated one (my favorite is Better Late Than Never). Features the debuts of Percy, Donald, Douglas, Toby, and Henrietta.

5 out of 5 stars "One of Thomas' Finest Adventures!"(10 out of 10)   October 3, 2004
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

When I was little, my parents got me all Thomas videos. But for some reason, I didn't have this one in my collection. In fact, I didn't even know about it until a couple of years ago and for a long time a was searching around trying to find this one but found out it was no longer availible. I was then able to find this one used over the internet. It sucks how they don't sell this one anymore because it one of Thomas' finest adventures!. Okay, so lets check out the stories:

Tenders & Turntables A:
Ever since Thomas went away to run his branch line, the big engines have had to shunt their own coaches and they do not like this at all. First, because of his big tender, Gordon has to pull a train backwards because of the strong wind. Then James spins around like a top on a turntable and everyone laughes. All in all, the engines are fed up with Sir Topham Hatt's railway and they decide to go on strike.

Trouble In the Shed(Part 2 to Tenders & Turntables) B:
The big engines are refusing to come out of the shed so Sir Topham Hatt gets a new tank engine, Percy, and brings back Thomas to help Percy and Edward pull trains while Gordon, James, and Henry stay in the shed.

Percy Runs Away(Part 3 to Tenders & Turntables) B:
Sir Topham Hatt finally lets the big engines out of the shed and lets Thomas, Edward, and Percy play on the branch line. But when Percy doesn't listen to Edward, Gordon nearly crashes in to him and Percy runs away.

Thomas Comes to Breakfast A+:
Find out why Thomas shows up at the stationmaster's house for breakfast uninvited.

Henry's Special Coal A:
Henry hasn't felt this good in his life, thanks to some special coal.

The Flying Kipper A:
Since the special coal has made Henry feel much better, Sir Topham Hatt has Henry pull a very special train called The Flying Kipper. But there is trouble because of the icy rails and Henry has a nasty accident and is sent to the works. But Sir Topham Hatt promises him that when he gets back, he will no longer need special coal.

Toby The Tram Engine A:
Meet Toby, the tram engine. One day, Sir Topham Hatt comes to visit Toby at his railway. Toby takes his grandchildren for rides in his coach Henrietta. But Toby is losing his work and one day, his branchline is shut down for good and there is no more use for Toby, but not for long.

On the bright side though, you can find all these stories on other Thomas videos or you can do what I did and by this one used like I did.

When they took this, Thomas Breaks The Rules, and Better Late Than Never off the market, they took the best tapes away. Story stops are Tenders And Turntables, Trouble In The Shed, Percy Runs Away, Thomas Comes To Breakfast, Henry's Special Coal, The Flying Kipper, and Toby The Tram Engine.
