What is Murdoch (Thomas & Friends) about?
Murdoch is a huge, powerful engine who has come to Sodor to pull heavy goods trains. Although he is strong and dependable, Murdoch longs for peace and quiet. The other engines are excited to meet him and keep asking questions, which makes him cross. At last, he gets a quiet journey through the countryside, but even that is interrupted when sheep wander onto the railway. Murdoch soon discovers that friendly company may not be so noisy after all.
