In these tales from the island of Sodor, Thomas and friends welcome Skarloey home from the menders, and Oliver and Toad teach some trucks a lesson. The usual busy sets and clever, mock action are on hand. The Skarloey story is better than average. There's a bonus music video, "Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover." --Tom Keogh

Thomas & the Special Letter was great. We got to see lots of the little engines including Skarloey, Reneas, Duncan, Rusty, Sir Handle and Peter Sam. Stories are great, they include:
Thomas & the special letter A: When Sir Topham Hatt gets a letter from a child who lives in the big city, all the engines are very excited about going to the big city. But could Thomas' accident cause him to miss out on the trip?
Rock 'N' Roll B: When Duncan gets stuck in the tunnel because of his rock 'n' roll, Skarloey, who hasn't met Duncan yet, must rescue him.
Home At Last B: All the Engines are looking forward to seeing Skarloey as he comes back from the works.
Steam Roller B: All the engines tease Sir Handle about his wheels but soon enough, Sir Handel gets a chance to show the other engines that his wheels are very special indeed.
Toad Stands By A: Toad and Oliver teach the freight cars a lesson they'll never forget.
Bowled out B: See how all the engines get rid of a smelly diesel.
Final Score: 8 out of 10
Not Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 4, 2004

This episode is really good even though George Carlin replaced Ringo Starr. I also like the other episodes like Thomas Gets Bumped (which I got in 1991 when I was born in Downtown Charleston) I liked all the adventures of Thomas and Friends.
I wonder what Thomas Meets the Queen will be like. Do you?
The sequal of the little engines March 21, 2004
I watched this video for the first time in 4 years. Thomas and the Special Letter is pretty much just a sequal of a video before it, "Rusty to the Rescue". This video has the return of the little engines Peter Sam and Sir Handel along with new little engines like Skarloey and Duncan. There's also "the bluebell engine", Stepney. Each one of their stories that there in show what character their displaying. Duncan starts to Rock N' Roll and Rock N' Rolls himself off the rails. Stepney and Duck pull a passenger train that a new diesel was supposed to pull. The only thing that was bad about this video was that in each story another new engine would return instead of showing a story about the classic engines (Gordon, James, Thomas).
Thomas and the Special Letter was pretty good February 14, 2004

One of the things I really like about Thomas the Tank Engine is the little engines. This video along with three or four others, has a lot of these stories containing the little engines. Lately they've put one or two little engine stories every other tape. Rusty's face sure did get bigger. Home at last makes you wonder why Skarloey's repairs took so short and he gets back and Rheneas still isn't home. And appartently there were so many changes while he was gone so he must have been gone awhile. Oliver had a good episode in this one too and so does Stepney. The Diesel from Bowled out reminded me of a combination of Daisy and Diesel becasue he didn't lie or make so many insults but he was still very rude. Duncan pretty funny because he's so stubborn. Peter Sam is innocent and friendly to others unlike Sir Handel but he hasn't been even mentioned in any recent ones. They also discontinued his train so I wonder if he's not on it anymore. That would be a shame becasue Rock N Roll was pretty good. This tape has no bad episodes and I would recommend it to any Thomas lover.
Thomas and the Special Letter and Other Stories September 15, 2001

This is a great video! See what happens when Sir Handel tries to compare himself to George the steam roller, and Oliver and Toad teaching the freight cars a lesson. See if Duncan will ever like Rusty the diesel and stopping "Rock 'N Roll". See what happens when Thomas and his friends go to a big city, and what happens when a mean diesel comes when Stepney leaves the railway.The story stops are: Thomas and the Special Letter; Home at Last; Rock 'N Roll; Steam Roller; Toad Stands By; Bowled Out; and the music video "Don't Judge a Book By its Cover". Overall, this is a GREAT video. I know you'll like it.
