A magazine photographer is coming to Chuggington to do a feature on steam trains. Olwin is determined to look her best for her picture and heads for the chugwash. Along the way, she encounters Wilson and Brewster tugging a car back and forth between them, arguing over who gets to deliver Ebo the elephant's special soap. Neither of them wants to do the other job - a quarry delivery.

Koko Takes Charge

Brewster's Little Helper

When Harrison breaks down, Koko volunteers to replace him on the night shift, determined to make the fastest run ever. But Vee insists that Wilson and Brewster go too, despite Koko's protests that Brewster will slow them down. Koko races off, teasing Brewster about being a 'slowcoach.' Suddenly she shudders and slows to a stop and Brewster and Wilson overtake.

Can't Catch Koko

Wilson is determined to get his Animal Transportation badge by taking Ebo the elephant to his new home in the Safari Park. But the naughty elephant has other ideas! He causes mayhem by throwing fruit and grabbing onto low hanging branches. To top it all, he uses his trunk to uncouple his car and escape! Poor Wilson chases after the mischievous elephant, who leads him down an overgrown track.

Wilson and the Elephant

Wilson and Koko are having loads of fun racing each other - until Wilson damages his wheel! He's scared of going to the repair shed to get it checked out, so he tries to put on a brave face and ignore the problem - despite Koko and Brewster's protests. When he gives Felix the Farmer and his churns of fresh cream a ride to the market, Wilson's condition worsens.

Clunky Wilson

The trainees are heading for a lesson with Dunbar in the training yard when an underground tunnel catches Koko's eye. She wants to explore it but Vee says she isn't ready yet. Dunbar is called away from the lesson about switching tracks before they barely get started. With time on her wheels, Koko decides she's going to see where that tunnel goes.

Koko and the Tunnel

Wilson and Brewster are sent to get stone from the mountain quarry. Brewster is in a hurry to get the job done, so that he can get back and practise some new moves in the training yard with Koko. For once he doesn't slow things down by asking questions, and he doesn't hear Dunbar warning them to be extra careful on the way back, as going downhill with a heavy load is harder.

Braking Brewster

Part of the track is out, and there's chaos in Chuggington! Vee needs Eddie to repair the track - but he's late for work again. Hodge prepares the electro-magnetic crane and the replacement track so they will be ready to go as soon as Eddie arrives. Wilson persuades Hodge that he could do the repairs by himself and save Eddie from getting in trouble. Hodge doesn't think so.

Hodge and the Magnet

Koko has her first big solo delivery job, picking up timber and delivering it to the paper mill - that is if Old Puffer Pete gets out of her way! In spite of Pete's admonition to 'take it slow and steady,' Koko speeds toward the timber yard, nearly ploughing into a family of squirrels! On her return she encounters the squirrels again - but this time she has to make an emergency stop.

Koko and the Squirrels

The trainees are playing hide-and-seek - and everyone has to admit that Wilson is the best hidey-chugger ever! The trainees' game is interrupted for a lesson: learning how to do different emergency stops with mud, leaves and water on the rails. Wilson is in heaven, as he likes nothing better than getting dirty!

Wilson Gets A Wash

Brewster delivers some feed to the Safari Park, and hurries back to practice today's task - picking up mail sacks - unaware that he has a monkey stowaway onboard! Back at the depot, someone - or something! - is causing mayhem. Methodical Brewster's questioning mind comes in very handy when he turns detective.

Brewster Goes Bananas

The trainees are learning how to use ice-cream cars today, and will be trying for their Ice-Cream badges. The great Frostini is going to test them on their skills. When Wilson's car breaks down, Puffer Pete comes to the rescue, pulling out his old steam driven ice cream wagon from the back of the rolling stock store - where it has sat for thirty years.

Bang Klang Wilson

Koko is yearning for adventure - and she just might get it, as today the chuggers are making deliveries out of town. But Vee asks Old Puffer Pete to accompany them - and he's so SLOW. They always have to wait for him to catch up - and he's always letting off those embarrassing bursts of steam! During their travels, they come across a mysterious old spur track. Pete tells them it leads to Old Chuggington, which is now a ghost town. The trainees decide to explore the old town on their own and get helplessly, hopelessly lost. When Wilson accidentally sets off the old Chuggington Central Whistle, Pete puffs his way through the maze of tracks to investigate. He rescues the youngsters and takes them on a fascinating tour of the old town, which he still knows like his own pistons! The trainees realize that Pete isn't such a fuddy duddy after all and there's a lot that they can learn from him.

Old Puffer Pete's Tour

Eddie lives so far away from Chuggington that he just can't seem to get into work on time. After getting into trouble with Morgan yet again, he decides to sleep at the depot, to be sure to be on time. But Calley's emergency callouts keep him awake all night, and he oversleeps. Late again! Hodge and the trainees try to find a new home for Eddie in Chuggington.

Late Again Eddie

The chuggers are learning to carry passengers comfortably, using dummies specially made to wobble if the ride isn't silky smooth. Dunbar will test them at the end of the day. Koko and Brewster take to it easily, but poor Wilson struggles. He goes off to practise by himself in the park, but things don't go well.

Wilson's Smooth Moves

Everyone loves Frostini, the cool Italian ice cream chugger. Wilson wants to be just like him, so he's especially excited to learn that Frostini needs a helper for the school holidays. Brewster and Wilson compete for the position by doing a trial ice cream delivery round. Wilson imitates Frostini, but the children aren't impressed by his over confident attitude.

Cool Wilson

It's time for the annual Chugger Championship Race - and speedy Koko is sure that the big, shiny trophy is hers! She's so determined, she spends hours practising and doesn't have time for anything else. Wilson thinks that the race is more important to her than her friends and the two of them fall out. When Wilson breaks down during the race, Koko must choose whether to help him.

The Chugger Championship

Brewster is so excited about seeing the new Action Engine movie today at the ride-in movie theatre. But Irving gives him the job of taking tin cans to the foundry for recycling.

Koko's Puppy Training

On her way to see a lamb at the farm, Zephie gets lost! She shouts for help and rings her little bell, but no one hears her. Morgan fits her with a siren so that she can call for help if it ever happens again. Zephie falls in love with her new accessory and can't resist playing with it and setting the siren off - much to the annoyance of the other chuggers.

Zephie's Zoomaround

Twiga the giraffe is going to have a baby! An excited Koko has been given the job of keeping watch overnight, and fetching Dr. Gosling, the vet, if Twiga goes into labour. That night Mtambo (the safari tour guide train) tells Koko all about nocturnal animals. Koko learns how they use their senses to get round in the dark. When Twiga goes into labour, Koko goes to fetch the vet.

Koko on Call

Olwin takes every group of new trainees out on an outward bound training course. She teaches them navigating skills to be used in the event of bad weather or emergencies. Brewster, Wilson and Koko are really looking forward to it - until Zephie and Hodge tell them how Nanny Olwin will treat them like babies the whole time! And she does.

Outward Bound Olwin

A storm has left the Safari Park in a bit of chaos, and some animals have escaped! Emery teases Brewster, saying one of the escapees is a dragon.

Brewster and The Dragon

Koko challenges Wilson to see if they can stay awake all night! Morning comes, and Wilson declares himself the winner - just as Vee gives him a job for the day: he's going to be collecting the mail and taking it to the sorting office. While Koko sleeps in, poor Wilson struggles to keep his eyes open.

Wake Up Wilson

The trainees are doing a sign-reading exercise. If they work as a team and follow the signs correctly - there'll be a wonderful surprise at the end of it.

Brewster Knows Best

The trainees are taking their passenger test. If they pass, they'll be able to carry passengers all on their own. Brewster and Wilson are a little nervous, but Koko is confident - after all, she's a passenger train! Mr. Simkins, from the Ministry of Chuggers, arrives to examine them. His 'jiggleometer' will tell him whether or not the trainees are riding smoothly. Koko volunteers to go first. Unfortunately, just as she starts, Simkins coughs and sets the machine off with a deafening beep. Koko jumps and Simkins gets thrown across the carriage. He fails Koko and, despite her protests to be given a second chance, is unmoveable. Broken-hearted, Koko goes off to the recycling yard and pours her heart out to Irving. Irving remembers Simkins of old and intervenes - reminding him of a similar situation in his own past. Simkins relents and gives Koko another chance! This time, without the jiggleometer, Koko passes with flying colours!

Koko Pulls It Off

Wilson has been given the important job of bringing the refrigerated ice cream cars from the ice cream factory to the Ice Cream Tasting Fair. The refrigeration cars are heavy, so he'll have to take them one at a time. Wilson makes the first trip successfully, but when his hero - cool ice cream chugger Frostini - offers to give him a tour of the factory, he forgets all about his important job.

Wilson and the Ice Cream

Children from Chuggington School are coming to the Safari Park, and Mtambo is training Wilson and Brewster to help out as junior guides. Mtambo tells them it's important to pay close attention to what he tells them about the animals, as they in turn will have to pass on the facts to the children - who will be tested afterwards to see how much they've learned.

Wilson's Wacky Tour

Hodge wants to be more independent, but Eddie never lets him do jobs on his own. So when Wilson startles Hodge, causing him to accidentally break a junction box, Hodge decides to deal with it himself. Using the crane, he jams the wires back in and shuts the doors. Easy. But then strange things start happening. Lights and signals stop working, Vee malfunctions and chuggers are sent to the wrong destinations. Hodge and Wilson realize it must have something to do with the box they broke! If Eddie finds out, he'll never trust Hodge to do anything on his own again - but if Hodge doesn't tell him, it could take Eddie days to figure out what's wrong. Hodge finally musters up his courage and confesses. A relieved Eddie fixes the box. Eddie promises he'll let Hodge do more jobs by himself and Hodge promises to tell Eddie straightaway when things go wrong.

Brewster's Hobby

Dunbar has a new training device: a voice-operated storm simulator tunnel, which simulates wind, rain and fog. It's programmed to respond only to Dunbar's voice.

Jet Pack Wilson

Zephie admires the 'big' chuggers, and wants to pull freight just like them. Brewster is dismissive when she offers to help him - you have to be big and strong to do the things he does.

When Irving leaves Koko in charge of the recycling yard, she's keen to show how responsible she is. In fact she's so excited, that she doesn't listen properly to his instructions.
