Lofty's Long Load is the eleventh episode of the seventh season.
Plot
Bob is building a through-lounge for Mr. and Mrs. Bentley. Lofty has to carry a metal joist to the house carefully. Dizzy and Trix decide to have a race, disobeying Wendy when she tells them not to.
When they find Lofty, they scare him so much that he loses concentration on being careful with the joist, and it damages the sides of the bridge.
