SHINING TIME STATION: WIN LOSE OR DRAW (TV)
Summary
One in this series of children's programs revolving around the lives of the people who work in, and live near, a railroad station named Shining Time. In this program, each of the children of Shining Time Station -- Becky, Kara, and Dan -- creates a drawing to be entered in a coloring contest. Becky becomes jealous when she sees that Kara's picture is much better than her own. She asks The Conductor to use magic to create a perfect drawing. However, she soon comes to realize that it does not feel good having people compliment a drawing that she did not create herself. The Conductor tells two stories about the railway cars of Shining Time Station to help Becky understand her feelings of jealousy. Meanwhile, Billy returns to the station with "magic ink" and Schemer decides to use it to create the perfect drawing of himself, but unfortunately for him the ink has powers that never crossed his mind. Also, Barton enters a motorcycle race and The Juke Box Band performs "Arkansas Traveller."
