- [Narrator] Oliver and Duck
are great western engines.
They deliver goods
and passengers
when the roads are
closed by deep snow.
But Oliver thinks snow
is messy and cold.
"I'm a great western
engine," he chuffed one day.
"I shouldn't have to shiver."
"Begging your
pardon, Mr. Oliver,"
said Toad, "but i think snow
"is splendid."
"Harrumph!"
Later, Oliver saw some children
building a giant snowman
for their winter festival.
(engine chugging)
Each time Oliver passed by,
the snowman grew bigger,
(engine chugging)
and bigger,
(engine chugging)
and bigger,
(engine chugging)
and bigger.
"Just an observation, Mr.
Oliver, snow is magical!"
"Ugh!"
(engine chugging)
Finally, the snowman
was completed.
Oliver chuffed back to
his warm, cozy shed.
(engine whistling)
Sir Topham Hatt was
waiting for him.
"You have to return to the
mountain village," he said.
"Some goods are needed
for the festival."
"But all this snow makes
my wheels feel chilly."
"Really useful engines work
hard whatever the weather."

(engine chugging)
Soon, Oliver was
loaded and on his way.
The snow was cold, it
had frozen the points,
and diverted Oliver into
the station sidings.
"Oh, shiver my
boiler!" cried Oliver.
His driver applied the brakes.
(brakes squealing)
"Is there a problem,
Mr. Oliver?"
"Yeah, there is!"
(wood crunching)
(thudding)
(sad music)
"Uh, that could've been
a little smoother."
(thudding)
Oliver felt awful, he thought
the children would be
upset about their snowman.
Oliver's driver went for help.
Sir Topham Hatt was
just leaving his office
when he got the call.
(phone ringing)
(cat meowing)
"Duck will bring
the breakdown crane
"first thing in the
morning," he said.
Oliver's driver returned
and told him the news.
"I'll be out here all
night," moaned Oliver.
"I'm afraid so."
Luckily the village inn had
a toasty-warm room
for Oliver's driver,
but Oliver was getting
colder and colder.
His fire had gone
out, and his funnel
was covered in icicles.
"I was right all along, brrrrr!
"There's nothing magical
about snow, brrr!"
Toad was beginning to think
Oliver might be right.
"Brrrrrrrr!"
(serious music)
Next morning, the children
saw the situation.
"Look," a little girl shouted.
"Our snowman has
eyes in its tummy!"
"No, it doesn't," laughed a
little boy, "it's Oliver!"
That gave the children an idea.
When Oliver woke up, he was
surrounded by happy children.
"Oliver's a wonderful
snow engine," they cried.
Oliver was so relieved
that suddenly,
he didn't even
feel cold anymore.
When Duck arrived with
the breakdown crane,
Oliver didn't want to leave.
He was enjoying the
winter festival so much.
"You were right
Toad," Oliver called.
"There are some magical
things about snow."
"P-p-p-perhaps, Mr.
Oliver," shivered Toad.
"Absolutely!"
