Thomas and Skarloey's Big Day Out is the twenty-eighth episode of the tenth season.
Plot
Skarloey is in need of repairs and Thomas volunteers to take him across Sodor to the Works. Thomas decides to make Skarloey's trip exciting by showing him several sights Skarloey has never seen before, but on Gordon's Hill the wellwagon carrying Skarloey breaks away and rolls down the hill. Skarloey's truck crashes into some buffers and Thomas, realising his mistake, rescues Skarloey and continues the journey.

Locations
Trivia
- Stock footage from Percy and the Oil Painting is used.
- Skarloey's small scale model was used again for the first time since the fifth season. The small scale model was used in the long shots when he and Thomas passed by each place and in the scene when they arrive at the workshops.
Goofs
- When Thomas stops beside Rocky, the puffing sound continues slightly after Thomas actually stops.
- In one of the close-ups of Skarloey on the wellwagon Thomas doesn't have any coal.
- After Skarloey crashes into the buffers, Thomas' driver (who had no control over Thomas' sightseeing tour) single-handedly gets Skarloey righted and back on his way with Thomas.
- Since when has Gordon's Hill had a siding at the bottom? Also, there was no mention of the points being switched, so Skarloey should have continued past the siding.
- The route from Tidmouth Sheds to the wharf goes up and over Gordon's Hill and then through Shen Valley, not the other way round, and the castle isn't along that route.
- It would have taken more than the rest of the day to mend Skarloey and since Skarloey crashed into the ditsh it probably would've taken even longer.
- A brakevan should have been added to Thomas' train.
- Due to its speed, Skarloey's flatbed should have derailed at the bottom of Gordon's Hill.
