Special Funnel

 * Alec Baldwin: It was winter on the Island of Sodor. Peter Sam puffed nervously along the line. His funnel had never been the same since his accident with some trucks. Now the biting wind was trying to blow it away.
 * Peter Sam: My funnel feels wobbly.
 * Alec Baldwin: He complained.
 * Peter Sam: I wish manager would hurry up with my new one. He says it would be something special.
 * Engines: You and your special funnel.
 * Alec Baldwin: Laughed the other engines. The were fun to Peter Sam, but his special funnel had become quite a joke. The winter wind grew worse. The rain came too turning hillside streams into torrents which threatened to wash the line away. Rusty the Little Diesel worked hard carrying workmen up and down the line. They were removing branches and trees so water could flow away. But one morning, Rusty's driver brought bad news.
 * Rusty's Driver: There's been a washout near the tunnel. The track bed had been swept away. We must repair the damage immediately.
 * Alec Baldwin: The important work took longer than it expected. As days went by, the weather changed. It became frosty and much colder. The workmen finished at last. Peter Sam was most careful as he took the morning train over the mended piece of track. Soon, he approached the tunnel. It was short and curved so his driver could not see right through it. Peter Sam was heading for trouble.
 * Peter Sam's Driver: There's something hanging from the roof.
 * Alec Baldwin: Shouted his driver. Peter Sam came out of the tunnel a different looking engine. He no longer had his funnel.
 * Guard: Here's what hit you, Peter Sam.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called the guard and he produced a think cold icicle. They set off again. But without his funnel, the journey was very difficult. Then the fireman saw an old drain pipe lying beside the track.
 * Peter Sam's Fireman: We'll use that instead of your funnel. At least it'll help control the smoke.
 * Alec Baldwin: Peter Sam finished his journey with the drain pipe wired to his boiler. The other engines laughed and Sir Handel sang a song about.
 * Sir Handel: (singing) Peter Sam said again and again, his new funnel will put ours to shame, went into a tunnel and lost his old funnel now his famous new funnel's a drain.
 * Alec Baldwin: The teasing continue until at last the day came when his new funnel arrived. Sir Topham Hatt proudly presented it.
 * Peter Sam: Oh dear, someone squashed it.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Peter Sam. But Sir Topham Hatt laughed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Don't worry, Peter Sam, this funnel is something special indeed. You'll soon see.
 * Alec Baldwin: Peter Sam's new funnel had special pipes which made puffing much easier.
 * Peter Sam: I feel stronger than ever before.
 * Alec Baldwin: He hummed. Even Sir Handel was impressed.
 * Sir Handel: I can't understand it. Peter Sam just seems to stroll along the line. He makes work look so easy.
 * Alec Baldwin: The engines don't laugh at Peter Sam's funnel now. They wished they had one like it.

Twin Trouble

 * Alec Baldwin: Donald and Douglas are Scottish twin engines. They are practical peppery and proud. They nearly always work together. One day, Donald and Douglas were chuffing through the countryside hauling a heavy load. Down the line, Trevor the Traction Engine had been struggling with a big cartload of hay. Crossing the tracks, the cart's wheels had broken off. Then Trevor heard a whistle.
 * Trevor: Oh no!
 * Alec Baldwin: Trevor cried. Donald could see the cart.
 * Donald: Stop!
 * Alec Baldwin: He cried. Donald's driver applied the brakes, but it was too late.
 * (Donald crashes into the cart)
 * Alec Baldwin: Luckily, no-one was hurt.
 * Donald: Stop being pushy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Donald snapped.
 * Douglas: Don't call me "pushy".
 * Alec Baldwin: Douglas snapped back.
 * Donald: You shouldn't have pushed me into the cart.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed Donald.
 * Douglas: You pulled me you mean.
 * Alec Baldwin: Argued Douglas.
 * Donald: Didn't!
 * Douglas: Did!
 * Donald: Did not!
 * Douglas: Did too!
 * Alec Baldwin: Before long the track was cleared and Donald and Douglas were on their way. The twins were so cross they refuse to speak to each other for the rest of the day. The next day, Sir Topham Hatt needed an engine to help Duck at the smelter's yards.
 * Donald : May I go, sir?
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Donald eagerly.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I only need one engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Not two.
 * Donald: I am only one engine, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Donald.
 * Donald: And I would like to help with Duck.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt was surprised but agreed. Thomas was worried.
 * Thomas: Won't you miss one another?
 * Alec Baldwin: He asked.
 * Thomas: I know I miss Annie and Clarabel.
 * Douglas: I'll work better on my own.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sniffed Douglas.
 * Donald: I have work to do.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed Donald. At first, Donald enjoyed working with Duck. Then, things started to go wrong.
 * Donald: Did you shunt those freight cars on the other line?
 * Alec Baldwin: Donald asked.
 * Duck: You said you wanted them on the other line.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duck replied.
 * Donald: Not that other line, the other, other line.
 * Alec Baldwin: Donald was cross.
 * Donald: Douglas would have known what I've meant.
 * Alec Baldwin: He huffed. Douglas was working on his own. He chuffed dutifully through the beautiful countryside. But Douglas had no-one to share it with. Although he tried not to, he was beginning to miss his twin. That night, Douglas' Driver took him to see Donald.
 * Douglas: I was just passing.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Douglas.
 * Donald: Have you come to say you're sorry?
 * Alec Baldwin: Donald sniffed. This made Douglas very cross.
 * Douglas: I've nothing to be sorry for.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said and steamed away in a huff. The next day, Donald was in a bad mood. Duck could see he was getting too close for the buffers.
 * Duck: Look out!
 * Alec Baldwin: Duck shouted, but it was too late.
 * (Donald falls into a pit)
 * Alec Baldwin: Donald's driver was very cross.
 * Donald's Driver: This wouldn't have happened if you were working with Douglas.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said. Donald knew he was right and Duck knew he couldn't pull Donald back onto the rails. So he went for help. Douglas was sadly finishing his work as Duck steamed into the depot.
 * Duck: Donald is in trouble.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duck.
 * Douglas: Donald in trouble?
 * Alec Baldwin: Douglas cried.
 * Douglas: I'm on my way!
 * Alec Baldwin: And he steamed off as fast as he could. Douglas struggled and struggled, he finally pulled his twin gently back on to the tracks. He was relief Donald wasn't hurt.
 * Donald: Thank you.
 * Alec Baldwin: Donald said.
 * Donald: And I'm sorry.
 * Douglas: No, I'm sorry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Douglas.
 * Donald: I'm sorry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Insisted Donald.
 * Duck: Don't argue about who's sorry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuckled Duck.
 * Duck: Just be glad you're back together.
 * Alec Baldwin: And they were.

Buffer Bother

 * Alec Baldwin: Bill and Ben are quarry engines. They are twins. They play together, they shunt freight cars together. They even get up to naughtiness together.
 * (Bill and Ben hit each other with cars and leave them behind)
 * Alec Baldwin: Whenever you find Bill you will find Ben. Whether you find Ben you will find Bill. Sir Topham Hatt had come to inspect his quarry engines. He found that Mavis and Bill were in fine working order.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Unfortunately, Ben.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Your buffers are damaged. You must report to the engine works immediately for a new set of buffers. Mavis you will have to work with Bill until Ben returns.
 * Mavis: Yes sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Mavis and Sir Topham Hatt drove away. Ben was happy.
 * Ben: I'm going to get new buffers!
 * Alec Baldwin: He gloated to Bill.
 * Bill: Well I should get new buffers too.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bill complained.
 * Bill: We're twins. We do everything together.
 * Ben: But you don't need new buffers.
 * Alec Baldwin: Ben teased.
 * Bill: You only getting new buffers because you're getting clumsy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Snorted Bill enviously.
 * Ben: No I'm not!
 * Bill: Yes you are!
 * Ben: No I'm not!
 * Bill: Yes you are!
 * Mavis: Will you two stop being crackpots?
 * Alec Baldwin: Mavis scolded.
 * Mavis: Now come on Bill, we've got work to do.
 * Alec Baldwin: Ben couldn't wait to get new buffers. Later, Bill watched as Ben chuffed away to the engine works. He was green with envy, he wanted new buffers too. Bill returned to his job but he wasn't thinking about work. All he could think about was Ben's new buffers.
 * (Bill and the flatbed run into some buffers)
 * Bill: Ooh!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Bill.
 * Bill: (sneezes)
 * Mavis: Be careful.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Mavis.
 * Mavis: And stop thinking about Ben's new buffers.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bill tried thinking about birds, he tried thinking about trees, he tried thinking about anything but Ben and his brand new buffers. But it didn't work.
 * Bill: I want new buffers too!
 * Alec Baldwin: He cried.
 * Mavis: Well, Just be happy you're in good working order.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Mavis.
 * Bill: It's not fair!
 * Alec Baldwin: Bill huffed and he wheeshed soot all over Mavis.
 * Mavis: Bill!
 * Alec Baldwin: Gasped Mavis.
 * Bill: Oops, sorry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Bill. Bill tried his best to get on with his work. But the troublesome trucks had spotted a chance for a tease.
 * Trucks: Poor poor Bill, he works, he suffers, while Ben his twin gets brand new buffers!
 * Bill: I might not have new buffers.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Bill: But I still know how to biff troublesome trucks.
 * Mavis: No!
 * Alec Baldwin: Mavis cried.
 * (Bill pushes a troublesome truck and accidentally falls into a pit)
 * Alec Baldwin: But it was too late. Ben puffed into the quarry with his shiny new buffers just in time to hear...
 * Bill: Bust my buffers!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Bill.
 * Ben: I think you have.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Ben. When Sir Topham Hatt arrived and saw Bill's broken buffers, he was not happy.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You behaved badly Bill.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Do you have anything to say for yourself?
 * Bill: Yes sir. I'm sorry, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Bill.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Before you get new buffers.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt continued.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I want you to think what it means to be a responsible reliable engine.
 * Bill: Yes Sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Answered Bill meekly. After Sir Topham Hatt left, Ben rolled up to Bill with his new buffers gleaming.
 * Bill: They are nice buffers.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bill said.
 * Ben: Thanks.
 * Alec Baldwin: Ben said.
 * Ben: I'm sorry I teased you.
 * Bill: That's all right.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bill said.
 * Bill: I was naughty too.
 * Ben: Of course you are.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Ben.
 * Ben: We're twins.

All At Sea

 * Alec Baldwin: Percy and Duck like working at the harbour by the sea. On a clear summer's night, there's no better place to be. The big ships bring passengers. Cargo ships carry machinery and other things. Duck and Percy puffed backwards and forwards with the crates of cargo as they are loaded and unloaded by the quayside. One morning, Duck and Percy noticed that the horizon was packed with sails flapping against the blue sky.
 * Duck: I wish I could sail to faraway lands.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Duck.
 * Percy: Engines can't go sailing.
 * Alec Baldwin: Snorted Percy.
 * Percy: Because engines can't float.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duck still had his dreams. Suddenly, they were rudely interrupted.
 * Harold: Wakey, wakey.
 * Alec Baldwin: Hovered Harold.
 * Duck: I'm looking at the boats.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Duck.
 * Harold: That's the regatta. Lots of boats, lots of races. Great fun. I hover around in case I'm needed.
 * Duck: Do you go to the horizon?
 * Alec Baldwin: Asked Duck.
 * Harold: Yes and beyond.
 * Percy: I didn't know there was a beyond.
 * Alec Baldwin: Whispered Percy.
 * Duck: Do you go to other places at sea?
 * Alec Baldwin: Continued Duck.
 * Harold: Certainly. I can land on ships you know. Anywhere, anytime. Goodbye.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duck sighed. He went on talking about the regatta all day. Percy lost patience.
 * Percy: Well, Duck, I rather had my wheels on solid ground. Our rails can take us to all the places we can ever wish to see.
 * (We hear a siren wailing)
 * Duck's Driver: That's an emergency.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Duck's driver.
 * Duck's Driver: I'll check with the harbormaster.
 * Alec Baldwin: He returned with bad news.
 * Duck's Driver: A man taking part in the regatta had hurt his hand. We're to take him to the hospital at the next station. Harold's bringing him now. Come on.
 * Harold: Good to see you again, Duck.
 * Alec Baldwin: Whirred Harold as he landed carefully on the platform. The man was gently helped to safety.
 * Harold: My job is to stay at sea in case of other emergencies. Otherwise i will take this gentleman to hospital myself. Must fly. Goodbye.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duck set off on his journey. Soon he was steaming well and his wheels were thundering along the track. When they reached the station, the man thanked everyone and Bertie got ready to take him to the hospital.
 * Bertie: You look splendid flying along the line, Duck.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bloat Bertie.
 * Bertie: No wonder they called you great western.
 * Duck: Thank you, Bertie. Percy's right.
 * Alec Baldwin: He thought to himself.
 * Duck: Engines are happiest when their wheels are firmly on the rails.
 * Alec Baldwin: That night, Percy and Duck stayed a little longer at the key. The air was warm and the sea calmed.
 * Duck: There's a shooting star.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duck.
 * Percy: Don't be daft.
 * Alec Baldwin: Laughed Percy.
 * Percy: It's Harold. Look, he's hovering overhead.
 * Alec Baldwin: Something fluttered down towards Duck. His driver caught it.
 * Duck's Driver: It's a flag from the regatta. Harold's giving it to you as a present, Duck.
 * Duck: That was kind of Harold.
 * Alec Baldwin: Whispered Duck.
 * Duck: He may have whirly arms instead of wheels. But he seems to understand just what an engine needs.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duck still wonders about the lands beyond the horizon. But I think he knows that, sometimes, the best travels are those we can only dream about. Don't you?

Stepney Gets Lost

 * Alec Baldwin: Stepney the Bluebell Engine works closely with his friend Rusty. One day, Sir Topham Hatt came to see him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Rusty tells me you're in need of a change. So I want you to help Toby and Mavis at the quarry.
 * Stepney: Oh thank you sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Stepney.
 * Stepney: Shall I be away long?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Just today. But please be careful. It is easy to get lost up there so be back before dark.
 * Stepney's Driver: We will.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the driver. Stepney soon arrived at the quarry.
 * Toby: We're glad you're here to help us.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Toby.
 * Stepney: Are these my cars?
 * Alec Baldwin: Asked Stepney.
 * Mavis: Only some of them. There's masses more in the sidings.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Mavis.
 * Stepney: The more the merrier.
 * Alec Baldwin: Stepney was really enjoying himself. The dustier he became, the harder he worked. Mavis and Toby were impressed. Then the foreman spoke to his driver.
 * Foreman: We have a night special to take to building site at the new branch line. Do you want to pull the train?
 * Stepney's Driver: Yes please.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the driver. But he should have asked Sir Topham Hatt first. Night came.
 * Toby: Be careful, Stepney.
 * Alec Baldwin: Advised Toby.
 * Stepney: I will and thank you for a lovely day. I do hope i can come back again.
 * Mavis: The line can be spooky.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Mavis.
 * Stepney: Thank you for the warning.
 * Alec Baldwin: And with that, Stepney puffed away. Stepney arrived on time and made the delivery of rocks and stones for the workmen. Then he set off for home. That's when the trouble began. The fog came down.
 * Stepney: Mavis was right. Suddenly, everything does look spooky.
 * Stepney's Driver: There's a signalbox.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called his driver.
 * Stepney's Driver: And the signal light is green. Someone must have been expecting us.
 * Alec Baldwin: But they weren't. The points had been set in the wrong direction, but Stepney didn't realize this.
 * Stepney: Home here we come.
 * Alec Baldwin: Then they approached an unknown area. The driver made a decision.
 * Stepney's Driver: It's best if we rest here until the fog clears.
 * Stepney: What are those strange sounds?
 * Alec Baldwin: Wondered Stepney. Then the fog slowly lifted.
 * Stepney: Oh no. We're in the scrapyards.
 * Alec Baldwin: His driver and fireman went for help. Stepney was all alone, but not for long. 2 diesels approached.
 * 'Arry: Got you this time, Stepney, you'll make very fine scrap indeed. Buffer him, Bert.
 * Alec Baldwin: The diesels took him to the large smelter shed.
 * 'Arry: Bye-bye Stepney. (laughs)
 * Alec Baldwin: Stepney looked up. Above him was a huge grabber.
 * Stepney: This engine's not for scrapping!
 * Alec Baldwin: The grabber wasn't listening. But just as it was about to grab hold of him, it stopped. There stood Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: It's a good thing I'm visiting this yard tonight. Saving you from scrap is becoming a habit Stepney, please stop it.
 * Stepney: Yes sir. But I have learned something.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: What's that?
 * Stepney: There's no place like home.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: And that's exactly where you're going now.
 * Stepney: Bluebells forever.

Jack Jumps In

 * Alec Baldwin: It was a tingly spring morning on the Island of Sodor. Thomas was excited. Sir Topham Hatt had sent him to collect a special from Jenny Packard.
 * Miss Jenny: Spot on, Thomas!
 * Alec Baldwin: Miss Jenny said.
 * Miss Jenny: You'd make a mother proud!
 * Thomas: Thanks, Miss Jenny.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Thomas: Is this my special?
 * Miss Jenny: Very special.
 * Alec Baldwin: She answered.
 * Jack: I'm Jack the Front Loader.
 * Alec Baldwin: He whirred proudly.
 * Jack: I can load and unload and carry lots of things.
 * Thomas: I can haul and shunt.
 * Alec Baldwin: Boasted Thomas.
 * Miss Jenny: And I can get you two chatterboxes off to the quarry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Laughed Miss Jenny.
 * Thomas: Is this your first job at the quarry?
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Thomas.
 * Jack: It's my first job on the island!
 * Alec Baldwin: Jack called back.
 * Thomas: Look out for Max.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas added.
 * Thomas: He's trouble.
 * Alec Baldwin: Soon, Thomas delivered Jack to the quarry. All the machines were busy preparing the site for new railway tracks. Jack couldn't wait to join in. He scooted towards a big excavator.
 * Jack: I'm Jack. Can I help?
 * Oliver: Oh my, no.
 * Alec Baldwin: Oliver replied kindly.
 * Oliver: Help Byron.
 * Alec Baldwin: Byron the Bulldozer was shoving rock and rubble with his giant blade.
 * Jack: I'm Jack. Can I help?
 * Byron: I don't need help.
 * Alec Baldwin: Boomed Byron.
 * Byron: Try Kelly the Crane.
 * Jack: I'm Jack.
 * Alec Baldwin: He whirred cheerfully.
 * Isabella: Mind my paint!
 * Alec Baldwin: Snapped the truck.
 * Kelly: Isabella!
 * Alec Baldwin: Scolded Kelly.
 * Isabella: Sorry. Welcome to the pack.
 * Kelly: And if you want to work...
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Kelly.
 * Isabella: See the foreman.
 * Alec Baldwin: Isabella said cheekily.
 * Isabella: He's in charge.
 * Alec Baldwin: The foreman introduced Jack to his oiler.
 * Jack's Oiler: I'm here to help you work safely.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the oiler.
 * Foreman: No speeding and no horse playing.
 * Alec Baldwin: Added the foreman.
 * Foreman: Now go help Alfie.
 * Jack: Yes sir!
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Jack eagerly and he raced off.
 * Jack's Oiler: Remember...
 * Alec Baldwin: Called the oiler.
 * Jack's Oiler: Safety first!
 * Alec Baldwin: Alfie is an excavator. He makes the hardest job seem like play.
 * Jack: I'm Jack. I'm here to help.
 * Alfie: More help means more dirt, more dirt means more fun! I'm Alfie!
 * Alec Baldwin: Jack and Alfie were working hard and having wonderful fun. Suddenly, a huge dump truck roared by.
 * Alfie: Max!
 * Alec Baldwin: Alfie cried.
 * Jack: So that's Max.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Jack.
 * Jack: Thomas was right, he is trouble.
 * Alfie: Look out, Jack!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Alfie. Max stopped just in time. Jack refused to move.
 * Jack: Stop bullying!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Jack bravely.
 * Max: Can't you take a joke?
 * Alec Baldwin: Max grumbled and dieseled away.
 * Alfie: Thank you, Jack.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Alfie. Then the foreman shouted...
 * Foreman: Oliver, move this rock!
 * Jack: I'll do it!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Jack. Jack scooped a bucket full of rock.
 * Jack's Oiler: Stop!
 * Alec Baldwin: Shouted his oiler, but he didn't stop. He was too eager to help.
 * Isabella: No!
 * Alec Baldwin: Shouted Isabella. But it was too late.
 * Jack: Oh no!
 * Alec Baldwin: He cried.
 * (Jack hits the oil cans)
 * Jack: Oops!
 * Alec Baldwin: Jack sputtered. Miss Jenny was glad Jack wasn't hurt but she was disappointed.
 * Miss Jenny: Safety first!
 * Alec Baldwin: She said firmly.
 * Miss Jenny: Means you don't rush in where you don't belong.
 * Jack: I'm sorry, Miss Jenny.
 * Alec Baldwin: Jack said sadly.
 * Miss Jenny: Maybe you're not ready for the pack.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Miss Jenny.
 * Miss Jenny: We'll see if you can do better tomorrow.
 * Alec Baldwin: After Miss Jenny returned to the yards, Jack was sad. Isabella could see he was unhappy.
 * Isabella: You're a good front loader.
 * Alec Baldwin: She said.
 * Alfie: And a good friend!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Alfie.
 * Thomas: Being a good friend is important.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas. That made Jack feel just a bit better.

A Friend In Need

 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas chuffed along the branch line, thinking about his new friend Jack.
 * Thomas: I hope he's doing better today.
 * Alec Baldwin: Puffed Thomas. Yesterday, Jack had broken the rules and had gotten into trouble. The pack was widening the road beneath the old quarry bridge. Jack and Alfie were loading Max. Dust and dirt flew everywhere. Work had never been so much fun.
 * (Jack and Alfie fill Max up and complete the job)
 * Alec Baldwin: Jack felt very proud. He worked hard, been very good and followed all the rules. But he was sill worried Miss Jenny wouldn't let him stay. Ned the Steam Shovel was cheerfully clearing rocks. Ned has a big bucket and a big heart. Sometimes his bucket is too full.
 * Max: Careful, bumblebucket!
 * Ned: Sorry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Ned cheerfully. Thomas couldn't wait to get to the old bridge. He'd knew the pack was working there. He could see how Jack was doing. Back at the site, the foreman shouted...
 * Foreman: Oliver, this top soil needs moving, now!
 * Jack: I'll move it!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Jack.
 * Alfie: Jack!
 * Alec Baldwin: Before anyone could stop him, Jack raced under the bridge. He was about to fill his bucket when he remembered Miss Jenny's warning. "Don't jump in where you don't belong."
 * Jack: Oliver.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Jack: This is your job not mine.
 * Oliver: Thank you.
 * Alec Baldwin: Oliver said politely.
 * Kelly: Well done, Jack.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Kelly.
 * Alfie and Isabella: Yes well done.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chimed Alfie and Isabella. Jack beamed proudly. Later, Ned was moving uder at the bridge. His oiler had told him to lower his crane on.
 * Ned: I must be careful, I must be careful, I must be careful.
 * Alec Baldwin: Then there was trouble. Ned hadn't lowered his crane arm far enough. It knocked loose the important keystones. The bridge started to crumble. Thomas puffed towards the bridge, unaware of the danger ahead.
 * (Thomas' whistle toots)
 * Jack: Thomas!
 * Alec Baldwin: Jack jumped in and lifted his front loader up against the bridge. He pushed with all his might. Thomas saw the flagman. His driver applied the brakes, but it was too late.
 * Thomas: Cinders and ashes!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Thomas. Jack didn't let go. Finally, Thomas' driver backed Thomas to safety.
 * Kelly: Hold on, Jack!
 * Alec Baldwin: Called Kelly and he rushed to help. Jack couldn't hold the bridge any longer.
 * (The bridge falls apart)
 * Kelly: Are you all right Jack?
 * Jack: I think so.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas brought Jack back to the yard. Jack was afraid Miss Jenny would be cross with him. After all, he had jumped in and damaged his arms. But Miss Jenny was pleased.
 * Miss Jenny: Spot on, Jack!
 * Alec Baldwin: She said.
 * Miss Jenny: Ye'd make a mother proud!
 * Thomas: And a tank engine grateful.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas chuffed.
 * Miss Jenny: It's off to the works with you tomorrow, Jack, the pack can't have a front loader with bent arms.
 * Jack: You mean I can stay?
 * Miss Jenny: I wouldn't have it any other way.
 * Alec Baldwin: Miss Jenny grinned.
 * Kelly: We're a cracking crew!
 * Alec Baldwin: Laughed Kelly.
 * Isabella: And all the better for Jack's being here.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Isabella.
 * Alfie: Welcome to the pack, Jack!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cheered Alfie. Jack was so happy he couldn't think of anything to say. So he just revved his engine and bounced his bucket. As Thomas steamed towards Tidmouth Sheds he felt very happy.
 * Thomas: Yes.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Thomas: Welcome to the pack, Jack.
