Paint The Town Red

Paint The Town Red is an episode of Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales.

Plot
At the episode's beginning, Mr. Conductor tells his dog Missy that he's tired of the red colour of the door on his signal box, so he decides to paint it a different colour. He decides red with green stripes, as it reminded him of what happened to Henry in "Come Out, Henry!"

After the story is done, Mr. Conductor has painted the door green, but he is not pleased with it, because that particular green is the same colour of fish, and it reminds him of Duck's incident in the story "Fish".

Mr. Conductor switches it to blue, but finds that it is not the right colour either, because it would give people the blues, so he decides to add another colour that is appetizing: Orange. He then tells the story of Gordon the Big Blue Engine in "Whistles & Sneezes".

After the story, Mr. Conductor has added orange stripes to his blue door, which has the style of a circus tent. Mr. Conductor realizes that this type of colour would attract elephants, which can be troublesome, as he explains in the story "Henry & the Elephant".

Mr. Conductor switches it to blue with yellow polka-dots, but still doesn't look right. He soon realizes that the door-painting idea was not a good one after all, and he remembers the effects of a new painting job that had on Percy in the story "Bulldog".

In the end, Mr. Conductor has repainted the door back to its original red colour, which he finds perfect for it, as it reminds him of home. However, he cannot touch the door to go inside, as the paint is still wet, so he uses his gold dust instead. The episode ends with Mr. Conductor and Missy listening to the song "Let's Have a Race" on the radio.
