Transcript
Stepney, Bluebell, Primrose, Adams, Cromford and Captain Baxter have always been good friends, and Stepney's friends have been on Sodor for about have a year now. Sometimes Stepney wishes to see his old controller at least just once since he got his own branch line. Then one day his driver recieved a letter from the Mainland.

Stepney's Driver: Listen to this old boy. Your old controller has asked if he can visit your Sodor for a week. Would you like that?

Stepney: That would be wonderful.

Stepney's Fireman: And he even said he'd bring an old friend to see you.

Stepney: I wonder who that could be. Ah well. I'll just have to wait till he arrives.

Narrator: The next Wednesday, an engine who looked very much like Stepney but a bit different came puffing into Great Waterton. He whistled cheerfully to Stepney and a figure waved from his cab.

Boxhill: Hello big brother.

Stepney: Why, it's my brother Boxhill.

Boxhill: And I've brought your old controller specially to see you for the next week.

Stepney: Well I'd love for you to see the wonderful sights of my branch line, so yes go right ahead. Oh and feel free to meet my old friends who joined the railway since our controller got a new job.

Stepney's Controller: Thank you Stepney for letting us visit your fine branch.

Stepney: Oh yes, and I now have two coaches of my own called Wilma and Betty.

Boxhill: I know who you mean. They were old friends of my own three special coaches. Stepney, meet Callum, Tina and Otto.

Callum: Hello Stepney.

Tina: Hi there.

Otto: Good to see you.

Stepney's Controller: Well I have you two have a good time together.

Boxhill: I'm sure we will sir.

Narrator: For the next week, Boxhill helped the other Bluebell Engines when they needed it. For Wednesday to Friday, he helped Bluebell and Primrose deliver goods to a party for the children at the local school.

Bluebell: You're doing well so far Boxhill.

Primrose: Well done to you.

Boxhill: Thank you ladies.

Narrator: On Saturday and Sunday, he helped Adams and Cromford take guests to a wedding anniversary.

Adams: We hear someone's having their 50th wedding anniversary next week.

Boxhill: Must be quite special.

Cromford: It certainly is.

Boxhill: On Monday, Boxhill and Captain Baxter delivered paint to the Sodor hardware store.

Captain Baxter: Good work mate. Keep it up.

Boxhill: Thanks pal.

Narrator: For most of their time, his three coaches had been talking with Stepney's coaches, Wilma and Betty.

Wilma: He's a very kind engine, that Boxhill.

Betty: He reminds us of when we used to work in the old days before we were given to Stepney.

Callum: Yes, we missed you both very much.

Tina: It's finally good to see you after all this time.

Otto: It sure is.

Narrator: Then it was Stepney's last day, Tuesday. And Stepney allowed him to go for a drive with him in the country. Their coaches came too. Callum, Tina and Otto wanted one last look at the scenery before going home. Then all too soon, Boxhill and his coaches had to go back to the Mainland.

Boxhill: We enjoyed our visit here big brother.

Stepney: Come back again when you can.

Boxhill: I'll try. Oh and thanks for all the things you've all done for us. Come along coaches.

Callum, Tina and Otto: Bye everyone!

Stepney's Controller: Take care my lad. See you soon!

Stepney: Yeah, it was really fun. (sighs a deep but happy sigh)
