Transcript
Narrator: Victor and Kevin work around the steamworks together. Victor usually shunts trucks filled with parts around while Kevin brings some parts over to engines with his hook. They do their jobs very well, but sometimes, it can get very busy around the steamworks. One day, a diesel pulled into the steamworks. Victor and Kevin had never met him before.

Geoff: Hello. My name's Geoff, and I've come to work here.

Kevin: Here at the steamworks?

Sir Topham Hatt: Exactly! Victor and Kevin, you've both been working well here at the steamworks for the past few years, but it had gotten very busy here in the last few months. So I've bought a diesel from the mainland to come and help out around here. Geoff will also be bringing in engines that need repairs.

Victor: Thank you, I'm happy to have some help.

Geoff: I think we're all going to get along and work well as a team.

Narrator: But Kevin wasn't so sure.

Kevin: Victor, aren't you worried that with Geoff here, you're going to be replaced?

Victor: Don't be silly, Kevin. Sir Topham Hatt would never replace one of his really useful engines, and I've proven to be really useful since I arrived.

Kevin: Well... okay, I suppose.

Victor: Also, Geoff can't rescue all the engines on Sodor by himself.

Geoff: Victor's right. I maybe a long diesel, but even I will need some help from my friends.

Narrator: But Kevin was secretly still worried. Geoff soon proved to be a really useful engine. He rescues standard gauge engines that either broke down or got into an accident. One day, one of Percy's tires snapped, and he couldn't grip the rails.

Geoff: Don't worry, Percy. I'll take you to the steamworks.

Percy: Thank you, Geoff.

Narrator: The next day, Gordon's safety value burst, and Geoff took him to the steamworks.

Gordon: Thanks, Geoff.

Geoff: Happy to help.

Narrator: And another day, Arthur had a hole in his boiler, and Geoff took him to the steamworks as well.

Arthur: Thank you, Geoff. I'm glad you came to our railway.

Geoff: So am I.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Victor was worried. He hadn't been able to rescue any engines since Geoff arrived on Sodor.

Victor: What if Kevin is right? What if Geoff has come to replace me?

Narrator: It wasn't just Victor who was worried. Over at the search and rescue centre, Barry was worried too.

Barry: Ever since Geoff arrived on the island, I haven't been able to rescue engines.

Rocky: Don't feel sad, Barry. I'm sure there will be something for you to do sooner or later.

Barry: I hope you're right, Rocky. When I have no work to do, I tend to get bored.

(Alarm goes off)

Barry: That's the alarm! There must be an emergency.

Sodor Search and Rescue Centre Manager: Barry, you must take Rocky to Gordon's hill. Neville has hit some broken tracks and derailed.

Barry: Yes, sir. I'm on my way.

Narrator: Barry was happy to finally have a job to do. Over at the steamworks, Victor hears of another emergency on the Skarloey Railway.

Workman: Victor, I've just been told that one of Duke's side rods has broke. You must go get him, and bring him here.

Victor: Right away!

Narrator: Victor puffed out of the steamworks, and made his way along the line. He found Duke at the hault.

Duke: Hello, Victor. Thanks for coming.

Victor: I'll have you at the steamworks in no time.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Barry and Rocky had arrived at Gordon's Hill, where Neville was off the rails.

Neville: Thanks for coming, Barry. And thank you too, Rocky.

Barry: Always happy to help.

Rocky: Me too.

(Rocky lifts Neville onto a flatbed)

(Horn honks)

Barry: Oh, it's Geoff. What are you going here?

Sir Topham Hatt: Geoff has come to take Neville to the steamworks, Barry.

Barry: But, sir, what about me? I've been rescuing engines before Geoff ever came to Sodor.

Sir Topham Hatt: I know, Barry, but you're job is to take Rocky to where there's an accident. The reason why only Geoff has been needed lately is because the engines he has rescued just broken down. They were not involved in any accidents.

Barry: Oh! I see. Thank you, sir. And Geoff, you are a great rescuer.

Geoff: Thanks, Barry. You're a great rescuer too; coming to help out at an accident with Rocky. Anyway, I better get you to the steamworks, Neville.

Neville: Thank you, Geoff.

Narrator: Geoff arrived at the steamworks with Neville, just as Victor puffs in with Duke.

Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Victor and Geoff! You've both been really useful today.

Victor: Thank you, sir.

Geoff: Yes, thank you.

Kevin: Sir, is it true that Victor will be leaving the steamworks because of Geoff?

Sir Topham Hatt: Nonsense, Kevin! Victor will still work around the steamworks. He will just rescue narrow gauge engines that need repairs while Geoff rescues standard gauge engines.

Victor: Yes, sir.

Kevin: Great, sir.

Geoff: Now, let's get started repairing these two engines.

Narrator: Victor and Kevin were glad to have Geoff around the steamworks, and the three of them worked very well together.
