Little Western Rescue is a special due to be released in 2016. It will feature around an ex-British Rail department manager seeking revenge upon one of his engines.
Plot
Oliver, Isabel and Toad are now fond of the Island of Sodor and think they are safe from the cutters' torch. However, when a film crew come to interview the engines for a documentary, his old manager from British Railways returns to negotiate a way to take him back. Naturally, Sir Topham Hatt disagrees, but the manager is persistent. With the help of two sinister diesels, he manages to steal the un-expecting Oliver and take him back to his old branch-line. Meanwhile, far away on the North Western Railway, the hunt has begun to look for Oliver. Duck, Edward and the Fat Controller head off on a mission to retrieve Oliver once and for good, but the psychopathic manager thinks otherwise, attempting to take Oliver off the rails and to certain disaster.
