Transcript
Narrator: Charlie and Stafford both needed to go to the steamworks. Charlie's funnel had cracked, and Stafford's brakes had failed. Both would need to be repaired. But now, the shunting yards were starting to get very busy.

Philip: This is very hard work.

Thomas: I know, Philip. We maybe good at shunting, but we can't keep up with all of this work, especially since I have a branch line to run.

Sir Topham Hatt: You don't have to worry anymore.

Thomas: Sir?

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, Percy and Philip, another engine is coming to help out at the shunting yards until Charlie and Stafford get back. An Italian engine named Gina.

Percy: Thank you, sir. My wheels have been aching so much that I can hardly get them to move. Another engine helping is just what we need.

Narrator: Gina arrived the next morning at Knapford.

Sir Topham Hatt: Welcome, Gina! I'm glad you can help out at the shunting yards here on the North Western Railway.

Gina: Thank you, sir. I've heard so much about your railway, and I'm honored to work here on Sodor. I'll get started right away.

Sir Topham Hatt: Very good, Gina.

Narrator: Gina soon proved to be a hard worker. She worked well in the yards, and got trains ready on time. The other engines were very impressed by Gina's hard work.

Thomas: Well done, Gina!

Philip: Yes, very good work!

Gina: Thank you, Thomas and Philip.

Narrator: A few days later, a new truck was built on the island. He was orange and named Fred Pelhay.

Fred Pelhay: Really useful engines here, huh? Well, they can't be really useful if they get into trouble. I'll make sure of that.

Narrator: Like most trucks, Fred Pelhay proved to be very troublesome and rude.

Fred Pelhay: Let's see how fast you are when me and the other trucks hold you back.

Fred Pelhay and Other Troublesome Trucks: (Laugh)

Narrator: Sometimes, Fred refused to work.

Fred Pelhay: Don't come near me! I won't let you shunt me.

Philip: Sorry, orange truck.

Fred Pelhay: The name is Fred Pelhay!

Narrator: Gina needed to shunt Fred onto a train of coal trucks.

Gina: Come on. You're needed on a train.

Fred Pelhay: Get away from me, and leave me alone!

Gina: (Gasps) I have never had trouble with trucks before. Please come with me.

Fred Pelhay: I said leave me alone.

Diesel: (Chuckles) Allow me to help, Gina, and show you how I shunt trucks.

(Diesel gets coupled to Fred Pelhay, and tries to pull him)

Narrator: Diesel didn't know that Fred had his brakes on. Then it happened.

(The coupling snaps and Diesel shoots forward into a siding and bumps into the buffers)

Fred Pelhay: (Laughs) Pop goes the Diesel! (Continues to laugh)

Gina: There's only one other thing to do.

(Gina puffs up in front of Fred Pelhay again, and gives him a dirty look)

Fred Pelhay: No! Not that look!

Gina: If you want me to stop making this look, you'll let me shunt you onto a coal train.

Fred Pelhay: Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

Narrator: Fred Pelhay took his brakes off, and let Gina shunt him onto the coal train. The other engines were very impressed.

Emily: Good job, Gina!

Gordon: You really know how to make the most troublesome trucks behave.

Philip: I don't think we'll have anymore trouble from that orange truck.

Thomas: Yes. If it wasn't for you, he'd still be causing trouble for us.

Percy: Could you show us how to do that?

Gina: It's easy, Percy. You have have to give them a look they don't like.

Percy: You really are a clever engine.

Emily: Indeed!

Narrator: Just then, Sir Topham Hatt arrived with some news for Gina.

Sir Topham Hatt: Gina, Charlie and Stafford are due to return from the steamworks tomorrow, so you can go home to Italy soon.

Gina: Oh. (Sighs)

Sir Topham Hatt: What's the matter, Gina?

Gina: Please, sir, may I please stay here on Sodor? My controller in Italy has started modernizing it, and they're scrapping my steam engine friends. I don't want to be scrapped. So please, may I be a part of your railway?

Sir Topham Hatt: I'd be delighted.

Gina: Really?

Sir Topham Hatt: Yes, of course. There's always room for one more steam engine on my railway.

Narrator: So Gina stayed on the Island of Sodor. She now works in the yards, and sometimes helps out on the branch lines. Gina still manages to keep the trucks in order, even Fred Pelhay.
