Transcript
Narrator: Early one morning, Sir Topham Hatt came to Tidmouth Sheds. He had some exciting news.

Sir Topham Hatt: Good morning, everyone! There are going to be some new animals arriving at the animal park later today.

Thomas: Who's going to take the animals, sir?

Sir Topham Hatt: You, Thomas. You're to go to Vicarstown and pick up the trucks carrying the new animals and bring them to the animal park.

Thomas: Me? Oh, thank you, sir. This will be very exciting.

Narrator: Thomas made his way along the main line, and soon arrived at Vicarstown, the last big station on Sodor.

Thomas: Hello? Where are the new animals?

(Horn honks)

Thomas: Oh! Hello, Carter. Have you brought some new animals for the animal park?

Carter: Sorry, Thomas, but I've come to deliver diesel fuel.

(Thomas sees Flying Scotsman backing down onto some coaches)

Thomas: Oh! There's the Flying Scotsman.

Flying Scotsman: Hello, Thomas. What are you doing here?

Thomas: I've come to pick up some new animals for the animal park on Sodor. Have you brought them?

Flying Scotsman: No, Thomas. I'm here to pick up my passenger train.

(Whistle blows)

Thomas: I don't think I've heard that sort of whistle before. I wonder who that is.

(Shane puffs into the station)

Shane: G'Day. My name is Shane. And I've brought some trucks that are carrying animals for an animal park.

Narrator: Thomas looked at the trucks Shane was pulling. They had animals that Thomas had never seen before.

Thomas: Those must be the new animals for the animal park.

Shane: I've come to deliver them, but I don't know the way to the animal park.

Thomas: I do. I'll show you the way.

Shane: Thank you... um, Thomas, is it?

Thomas: That's right. I'm Thomas the Tank Engine.

Shane: Well, I'd be happy to puff along with you, Thomas.

Thomas: Okay, let's go.

Narrator: So Thomas and Shane left Vicarstown, and started to puff to the animal park.

Thomas: So what kind of animals are we delivering, Shane?

Shane: We're delivering animals that can only be found in Australia, where I'm from. The animals inside the trucks are koalas, wombats, kangaroos and dingos.

Thomas: Wow! I've never heard of those animals before. The koalas almost look like bears.

Shane: They may look like bears, but they're not. Koalas are actually marsupials, and so are wombats and kangaroos. Also, kangaroos have pouches so they can carry little ones with them. A little kangaroo is called a joey.

Thomas: That sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing, Shane.

Shane: Your welcome, Thomas.

Narrator: As the two engines were approaching Killdane Station, Thomas could see that some bumpy tracks up ahead.

Thomas: You better slow down, Shane. There are some bumpy tracks up ahead.

Shane: Right.

Narrator: The two engines puffed over the bumpy tracks slowly. But they didn't know that the bumpy tracks had caused the latches on two of the trucks to slide open. Every time Thomas and Shane stopped or slowed down, a few of the koalas and kangaroos jump out of the trucks.

(Thomas and Shane arrive at the animal park where Sir Topham Hatt and the Mayor are waiting)

Thomas: Here we are, sir. Right on time. This is Shane. We brought the animals to Vicarstown, and I suggested we go together.

Shane: G'Day, sir. We have all the animals.

Sir Topham Hatt: Great!

The Mayor: We can't wait to see them.

Narrator: But when the zoo keeper went to unload the animals, everyone noticed the doors to the two trucks opened.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, Shane, why are two of the trucks' doors opened and there are no animals in them?

Shane: Uh oh! I think the bumpy tracks we went over caused the latches on the doors to come loose.

Thomas: The animals must have escaped whenever we stopped or slowed down.

Shane: But we'll go and find them right away.

The Mayor: You better hurry before anything bad happens to them.

Sir Topham Hatt: The mayor's right. Everyone came to see the koalas and kangaroos as well as the wombats and dingos.

Narrator: So Thomas and Shane hurried off to find the koalas and kangaroos. But luckily, they didn't have to search for long. Farmer McColl, Farmer Trotter, Farmer Finney, Jem Cole and even Cyril the Fogman had gathered the koalas and kangaroos altogether.

(Thomas and Shane whistle)

Terence: One of those whistles sounds like Thomas'.

Trevor: Yeah. But I don't know who has that other whistle.

Thomas: There they are, Shane. The koalas and kangaroos are in that field.

Shane: Thank you, everyone.

Narrator: As the kangaroos and koalas were being loaded. Everyone explained what had happened.

Farmer McColl: Well, I saw a few koalas when I was out with my sheepdog, Katie.

Farmer Trotter: And I some nearby the line near Maron. Then I met up with Farmer McColl and the koalas he found.

Farmer Finney: Terence and I were plowing a field when we saw some kangaroos hop on the field.

Jem Cole: And me, Trevor and Cyril found the other kangaroos.

Cyril: And we all got together, and decided to keep the animals in this field until we got a train to take them.

Jem Cole: And I was just about to walk to the nearest signalbox when we heard your whistles.

Shane: Well, thanks again, everyone.

Thomas: But we need to get back to the animal park. We're late. Goodbye, everyone.

Narrator: So Thomas and Shane hurried up the animal park. Everyone was glad to see the koalas and kangaroos safe and unhurt.

Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Thomas and Shane! You've both been really useful engines today.

Shane: Well, we shouldn't take all the credit for this.

Thomas: Shane's right. Farmer McColl, Farmer Trotter, Farmer Finney, Jem Cole, Cyril and even Terence and Trevor helped gathered the missing animals.

Sir Topham Hatt: Still, I'm glad the animals are here. Now, let's get them into their new homes at the animal park.

Thomas: Shane, will we ever meet again?

Shane: We might, Thomas. I recently got sold to the mainland. I'll make sure to meet up with you again, as well as your friends. Goodbye, Thomas, and thank you for helping me.

Thomas: You're welcome, Shane. Thanks for telling me about the animals. And goodbye for now.
