| abstract | - Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends is a children's television series about the engines and other characters working on the railways of the Island of Sodor, and is based on The Railway Series of books written by Rev. W. Awdry. This article lists and details episodes from the second season of this series, which was first broadcast in 1986. Most episodes in this season have two titles: the original titles (also known as "UK titles") are unbracketed, while American-adapted titles (also indicated by " - US") are bracketed. Both titles are considered valid, although the original titles are perhaps more correct than the American-adapted titles. Also in this series, The original gauge O models have been replaced by gauge 1 models. Henry now has splashers. These models are used from series 2-5. Season 2 was originally narrated by Ringo Starr, however he and George Carlin have since re-narrated the episodes for American audiences; it is unknown if Starr re-narrated all of the Season 2 episodes for American audiences. In all current 2010- DVD releases, Ringo Starr redubs Bertie's Chase, Percy and the Signal, Donald and Douglas, The Deputation, Daisy, Percy's Predicament, The Diseasel, Wrong Road, Edward's Exploit and Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree for the US.
