* BravingTheBlizzard: The snowstorm is raging by the time Toby sets off to save the lambs. This doesn’t deter him.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Farmer [=McColl=] wasn't referred to by name in this episode until the Hit era came along. Later on, the story was redubbed in both Creator/MichaelAngelis' and Michael Brandon's narrations to name [=McColl=].
* RopeBridge: The last obstacle Toby has to cross is a rickety wooden bridge that looks ready to collapse at any second. It surely would have had Duck crossed it, since the bridge was not strong enough to hold his weight.

On his way home during a snowstorm, Toby is flagged down by Farmer [=McColl=]. His sheep are due to give birth soon and he urgently needs a vet to check on them. Toby goes to the next signalbox where his driver telephones for a vet.

Toby arrives at the station where the Fat Controller is waiting with the vet, who climbs aboard Duck's cab and Duck sets off to rescue the sheep with his snowplough. However, the snow is now much thicker and the tracks are obstructed. Duck cannot go on, so he returns to the station. Toby suggests using his old line to get to Farmer [=McColl's=], but the Fat Controller knows that Toby's old line cannot take Duck's weight. Toby insists that he should go as he knows the old line and they have got no other choice. So the vet climbs aboard Henrietta and the Fat Controller warns Toby to be careful.

Toby sets off, full of confidence, while a blizzard starts to howl. However, he soon realises that there is something he forgot about - the rickety old bridge spanning a deep gorge. Slowly, Toby pulls Henrietta across the old bridge, which creaks and groans under his weight. Toby is scared, but determined to cross it just for the sake of the sheep. Once across, Toby soon reaches the farm and Farmer [=McColl=] is delighted to see them.

The vet and Farmer [=McColl=] check the newly-born lambs, but they need warmth and comfort. Toby explains that Henrietta can provide that, so the sheep and lambs stay inside Henrietta until the snow thaws.
