Oliver's Determination is the third episode of Season 1 of Thomas: The Trainz Adventures.

Plot[]

With the fall arriving and an increasing traffic on Sodor, Oliver has just finished his restoration and has been helping Duck and Percy at the harbour.

One cold morning, the Fat Controller arrives at the sheds to give out assignments for the day. He tasks Gordon and Henry with express duties, Thomas, Edward, Percy and Duck to deliver coal around the island, and adds Oliver to help Gordon and Henry with passengers. The two big engines tease him for his size and deem him unfit to pull coaches. Once they have left, Duck assures him that they've teased him before and that Oliver will gradually prove them wrong.

At the station, Gordon and Henry continue their teasing and the former calls him slow. The two leave first before Oliver follows after, but he contemplates whether or not they could be right. Ultimately, Oliver begins to look away from it as he gets underway. Throughout his journey, he receives encouragement from other engines, which helps strengthen his determination.

Oliver arrives at Wellsworth, where Gordon picks up the teasing again, but Oliver stands up to him and remarks that he is smaller and not as strong as him. This time Oliver departs first, continuing on to the next station.

As he approaches Gordon's Hill, Oliver begins to doubt himself again. However, his driver encourages him to continue on and he eventually makes it up and over the hill.

Oliver arrives at Maron next, where Henry is to take his passengers onwards. He praises Oliver's effort and apologises for the teasing, which Oliver forgives. As Henry departs, the Fat Controller disembarks his train and praises him effort and for standing up against teasing.

At the sheds, the Fat Controller punishes Gordon and has him shunt for the next few weeks, while Oliver is to receive a new coat of paint. The other engines cheer and whistle for Oliver's effort.
