― Thomas and the Fat Controller
is a 2015 feature-length Thomas & Friends special. It is the eleventh Thomas & Friends film overall.
It is a bright sunny day on Sodor, as Thomas chuffs along his branch line with Annie and Clarabel. When he sees Bertie, he decides to race with him, but nearly gets into trouble along the way, narrowly avoiding rail work and nearly having a head-on collision with Toby when he passes a red signal. Bertie believes that he will win, due to him being in first place for the majority of the race, but his chances of winning become slim when he has to slow down for Oliver the excavator, who is slowly trundling along the small countryside road. Thomas gets the upper hand in the race and Bertie finally gets past Oliver, who takes a shortcut, passing by a familiar man on a bicycle. When Thomas stops at Ffarquhar, he is very pleased with himself for winning, but Annie and Clarabel are not and scold him for racing, but he just ignores their scolding, remarking he has raced on his branch line for years. Bertie arrives at the station, cross that he has lost, remarking that ever since the new branch line's construction site, he has been held up by construction vehicles. Annie and Clarabel fear their branch line will be closed in favour of the new one, but Thomas dismisses it.
Meanwhile, Marion is on her way to the construction yard, fascinated by the enchanting scenery of the forest at Arlesburgh. As she chuffs along, two small engines dart past her, taking her by surprise. She shuts her eyes and bumps into Toad and Oliver, who are waiting at the ballast chute. A small red engine races up the chute with some hoppers, frightening Marion. Toad introduces Marion to Rex, Mike and Bert, three miniature engines. Marion is interested in the little engines' size, asking if they are real. A cross Mike tells her they are real and that they deliver ballast, wool, and passengers for the big railway. Toad and Oliver then leave for the construction yard, just as a black engine races past Marion.
At the construction yard, Duck is shunting trucks, just as Donald and Douglas arrive. Duck is delighted to see them, remarking that it has been ages since he has last seen them, but the twins tell him they have been away to fetch new rails and sleepers for the construction. Meanwhile, Jack and Alfie are getting to work, just as Oliver arrives, apologising for being late as he took a wrong turn.
The next morning, Thomas cannot wake up. His fire goes out and there is not enough steam to get him going. The other engines all wake him up, reminding him that he needs to shunt Gordon's coaches, but Thomas is in no hurry to do that. Meanwhile, Gordon grumpily waits at Knapford for Thomas, just as he finally arrives. Annie and Clarabel remind Thomas it is time for their first train, but Thomas tells them he has to get Gordon's coaches first, criticising Gordon for being lazy for not getting his coaches. Gordon tells Thomas that he knows full well that tender engines are too large for shunting, telling him that is what common little tank engines do. Determined to prove Gordon wrong, Thomas decides that he will pull the express today and thunders out of the station with the coaches. Unfortunately, due to being behind the coaches, this results in an accident occurring when he fails to slow down, nearly collides with Emily as she tries to stop to avoid being hit and leading to the express coaches coming off the rails and blocking the entire section of lines out of Knapford, and luckily, no one is hurt.
Meanwhile, at the construction site, Marion tries to play 'Guess What's in My Shovel' with Donald, but he does not have time to play. She then turns her attention to Oliver the excavator, but he tells her that all he has in his bucket is dirt and rocks. When she asks what his name is, Marion is surprised to find out that the excavator's name is Oliver, believing that he turned himself from a railway engine into a digger. Oliver tries to explain the situation to her, but his attempts to do so are futile, as she believes the Arlesdale engines are magic and granted him a wish, deciding that she will make a wish as well.
Back at Knapford, the Fat Controller has arrived to inspect the damage. Thomas tries to pin the blame on the other engines, but the Fat Controller does not believe him, knowing the accident is not caused by Emily or Gordon. He tells Thomas that he will be sending him to the construction yard as punishment for his actions (much to Gordon's smugged delight). When Thomas asks who will look after his branch line, a new purple tank engine called Ryan shows up. The Fat Controller welcomes Ryan to his railway, while Thomas looks on, shocked.

•The special grossed £620,106 ($810,735.27 in United States Dollars) at the UK box office.
•This film scored an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and is the highest score of a Thomas movie.
•On the day of the special's UK theatrical release, Sir John Hurt was knighted for his services to drama by Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle.
•This special won Evcom Screen Awards Gold Award for Music.
•The special aired on Virgin Atlantic flights out of London in August of 2015.
•This special takes place between the nineteenth and twentieth series. However, there are some hints with voice actors and changes that this was produced before the nineteenth series in 2014, these being:
•When Thomas is about to run into Toby and is switched onto the passing siding, Henrietta can be seen behind Toby. However, when Thomas is seen returning onto the branch line, Henrietta is missing.
•The digital release is slowed down to 24fps, which causes audio distortion.
•Annie's wheels are already moving before Thomas starts when they leave Ffarquhar.
•A hand can be seen clipping through Percy's cab when he leaves Tidmouth Sheds. The same thing happens to Thomas in the first scene of Never Overlook a Little Engine and to Percy again in the scene where he departs Knapford of We Make a Team Together.
•When Emily brakes at Knapford, her bogie wheels spark, but these wheels are not fitted with brakes. Ryan's trailing wheels also briefly spark when he tries to stop the pirate ship.
•When Marion first sees Mike, his side rods are black.
