 * Michael Brandon: Keeping Up With James. It was winter holiday season on the Island of Sodor. Everywhere was covered in a beautiful blanket of soft snow. Sir Topham Hatt was at the Fitters' yard. The engines were having their snowplows fitted.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: We must get the island moving again.
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: And when the lines are clear, I will need an engine to take the presents train to the holiday party at Knapford.
 * Michael Brandon: All the engines wanted to take the presents train. It was a jolliest train of the year.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: James, you must work with Edward.
 * Michael Brandon: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Remember, the tracks are icy and you must all work together and take care.
 * Michael Brandon: But James wanted to finish first and take the presents train.
 * James: An old blue slowcoach like you was sure to slow me down.
 * Michael Brandon: He huffed. James and Edward's first job was to clear the lines to Knapford. Edward worked as fast as he could, but it wasn't fast enough for James.
 * James: Hurry up!
 * Michael Brandon: He snorted. Henry was clearing the line when James steamed quickly passed.
 * Henry: Slow down!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Henry.
 * Henry: And take care!
 * Michael Brandon: But James wasn't listening. He was dreaming about the presents train. He didn't notice that the tracks were icy. James' wheels began to slip and slide.
 * James: Whoo!
 * Michael Brandon: He cried. He was going faster and faster.
 * James: Whoo-hoo!
 * Michael Brandon: Called James. He was starting to enjoy himself. He was sliding so fast that he slid all the way to Maithwaite Station.
 * (James' whistle toots)
 * Michael Brandon: Later, James and Edward had to take some coal cars to the coaling plant. James waited for Edward. He listened to the choir and watched all the colorful decorations being put up. James wanted to take the presents train more than ever. Finally, Edward puffed in.
 * James: Trust a blue engine to be late!
 * Michael Brandon: Called James.
 * Edward: I'm sorry.
 * Michael Brandon: Gasped Edward.
 * Edward: I had to go slowly and take care.
 * James: Slow engines like you don't get to pull the presents train.
 * Michael Brandon: Snorted James. And they pulled away. James raced to the coaling plant as fast as he could.
 * James: Must be first, must be first.
 * Michael Brandon: He puffed. James reached the top of Gordon's Hill. The tracks were icy and James started to speed up. Edward wasn't happy. James' wheels started to slip and slide.
 * James: Whee!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried James.
 * James: This is the way to get the job done fast!
 * Michael Brandon: James thought it was the best slide ever. At the coaling plant, James and Edward's train had been filled with coal. Edward called to James...
 * Edward: You must slow down and take care.
 * James: I am taking care.
 * Michael Brandon: Replied James.
 * James: Taking care to finish first, I'm going to pull the presents train.
 * Michael Brandon: And James pulled down. They headed for Brendam Docks.
 * James: Finish first, finish first.
 * Michael Brandon: James puffed happily. He started to go faster and faster and faster, but he didn't know how very icy the tracks were. His wheels started to slip and slide.
 * James: Oh, my!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried James. And he applied his brakes as fast as he could.
 * James: Whoa!
 * Michael Brandon: Edward tried to brake as well, but it was too late.
 * (James
 * James: Bust my buffers!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried James.
 * Edward: Oh, dear!
 * Michael Brandon: Wheeshed Edward. Sir Topham Hatt arrived on Salty. He was very cross.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: James and Edward!
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The tracks were icy and you were not taking care! You have caused confusion and delay!
 * Michael Brandon: James felt bad.
 * James: Edward wanted to slow down but I wanted so that I could pull the present train.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You won't be doing that now, James.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Edward, you are a reliable engine. You can pull the presents train, but you can't pull it alone. It's a very long train.
 * James: Sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Called James.
 * James: If I promise to go slowly and take care, can I be Edward's back engine?
 * Michael Brandon: Sir Topham Hatt wasn't sure.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Only if you can puff slowly and carefully.
 * Michael Brandon: He said. James felt pleased.
 * James: Edward.
 * Michael Brandon: He puffed.
 * James: I will learn to take care just like you.
 * Michael Brandon: And so, Edward pulled James back onto the tracks. Later at Brendam Docks, the two engines collected the presents train and set off carefully for Knapford. Whenever they came to some icy track, Edward called out...
 * Edward: Slow down!
 * Michael Brandon: And now James slowed down. And when they went down Gordon's Hill, Edward called out...
 * Edward: Apply your brakes, James!
 * Michael Brandon: And James applied his brakes. So slowly and safely, the two friends puffed into Knapford Station. When the children saw their presents, they cheered and cheered.
 * Edward: Thank you, James.
 * Michael Brandon: Called Edward.
 * James: Thank you, Edward.
 * Michael Brandon: Said James.
 * James: You are a really useful blue engine.
