Wilbert the Lumberjack is the twentieth episode of the first season.

Plot[]

The Sodor Logging Co. is busier than ever, so Wilbert the Forest Engine returns to the Railway to help out. When he arrives, he is greeted by a despicable lumberyard foreman who constantly criticizes everyone around him. Anxious to prove his worth, Wilbert sets off to work. However, the foreman never cuts the poor little engine a break. Wilbert is always deemed late or unable to handle the heavy work-load, but Wilbert is only more determined to prove himself. 

One day, when Wilbert was shunting, he meets a well-kept secret of the Lumberyard, Kurt the Jungle Cutter. Kurt was built for a film not too long ago, and was brought to Sodor to cut down trees and bushes. The two become firm friends, but when Kurt breaks down, the foreman is furious, and the men now have to take down trees by hand.

One particular rotting tree seems to be quite stubborn, causing a chainsaw's blades to snap off. The lumberjacks are cross and give up on the prospect. 

The next morning, Wilbert is bringing supplies for the machinery when suddenly, he loses control and slides on oily rails, smashing through the buffers and knocking over the rotting tree the lumberjacks could not cut down before. The foreman strides over, and Wilbert fears for the worst, but the foreman is not cross! He calls Wilbert "The Lumberjack of the Forest of Dean", and commends him for taking down a tree that the lumberjacks could not!
