Plot
Thomas is delighted that Toby is to lead the parade, but when Thomas arrives at Great Waterton he meets a new steam tram called Flora who is to lead the parade with Toby. Thomas thinks that Toby would prefer to lead the parade by himself and would be upset if he met another steam tram; so he decides to distract Flora. Thomas leads Flora away, but when he realises Toby is nearby he leads her away to different locations, until Toby approaches again, and so on. At last, Flora runs out of coal just as Toby comes out of his shed and sees Flora. Toby tells Thomas that he was too scared to lead the parade by himself, but now he and Flora can lead it together. Once Flora takes some of Thomas' coal, she and Toby go to Great Waterton and Thomas delivers the special cargo - Flora's new tram car.
