(The episode begins with all the engines working on Sodor as Sir Topham Hatt narrates)

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): The 1920s. The Island of Sodor is was the biggest island in the world. It was the time of change and great opportunity. Nobody knew it better than the hardworking engines whose strength and big hearts made them popular with everybody from freight trains to passengers. Important jobs kept them working night and day.

(We first cut to Toby the Tram Engine who is pulling his faithful coach Henrietta and three freight cars passing through the countryside on Thomas' Branchline as he rings his bell and blows his unseen whistle.)

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): My engines the Steam Team were no exception. I have three busy engines. Toby, a Steam Tram. (We later then cut to two big steam engines. Henry who is pulling a freight train and Gordon who is also pulling not only passenger trains, but freight trains as well as they blew their whistles puffingalong together.) Henry and Gordon.

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (We also cut to James the mixed-traffic Splendid Red Engine pulling passengers and working with Donald and Douglas the Scottish Twin Engines as he whistles.) A railway mixed-traffic Splendid Engine, James.

Narrator Sir Topham Hatt: (We later cut to everyone's number 1 cheeky but really useful little engine as he puffs into Ffarquhar Station with his two faithful coaches Annie and Clarabel on his Branchline and whistles happily.) One little tank engine, (Chuckles) Thomas. (We later see Edward, the sixth and last member of the Steam Team as he whistles and passes through Knapford Station taking branch line coaches.) And Edward my railway going steam engine.

Narrator Sir Topham Hatt: (We later cut to night time of all six members of the Steam Team as Gordon backs into the middle berth of Tidmouth Sheds.) They were a good crew striving to be the best on the island. Not always succeeding, but proud of their work.

(The scene fades to black)

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (The scene fades to next morning where Sir Topham Hatt arrives at Tidmouth Sheds to greet his fellow steam engines and gave them special good news.) I remember the day we got our first big break. It started like most at dawn. Good morning Steam Team. Today, I charted another new steam engine to help out with the extra work he's from Uptown East Valley. (He then turns to Thomas.) Thomas, he'll be working with you show him the ropes.

Thomas: (We later cut to Thomas.) Right Sir Topham Hatt. What's his name?

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (The scene later cuts back to Sir Topham Hatt as he introduces the name of a switch engine to Thomas.) Percy.

James: (Snickering and insults Percy's name) Percy? Only good for railway work is he?

Thomas: (Cuts to Thomas who insults James back.) Not bright in your upper bit James.

James: (Cuts back to James who is sulked by Thomas' remark.) I resent that!

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (Cuts to Sir Topham Hatt.) Settle down. Give Percy a chance. Now for the really good news; (Cuts to all five members of the Steam Team excluding Edward who is needed important contracts) it looks like I've managed to land the contract for one of the most important trains around; the Special Train! (The engines whistle happily and are very excited.) When she arrives this afternoon, the Steam Team will bring her in for a visit, but first, we've got to prove ourselves. (He then turns to Toby.) Toby, you're in charge.

Toby: (Cuts to Toby.) Yes sir!

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (As we cut to Gordon who Sr Topham Hatt turns to.) Gordon.

Gordon: Sir.

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): You're leading.

Gordon: Right.

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (Cuts back to him as he turns to both James and Henry.) James and Henry, you're on the side push.

James: (Cuts to him retorting to Thomas.) Not you, Thomas, this is no work for tank engines.

Thomas: (Cuts to him grumbling and muttering to James shortly.) Oh, all right.

Henry: (Cuts to him reminding Thomas.) Yeah, that's right, big engines only, Thomas.

Thomas: (Cuts to him warning Henry) Make sure you don't bump into her, Henry. (Chuckles)

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (Cuts to him.) On your way, Thomas. Show Percy how to get the work done, and fast.

Thomas: (Cuts to him.) Yeah, right, okay, then sir. (Puffs away to find Percy.)

Narrator (Sir Topham Hatt): (Cuts to him reminding the remaining steam engines.) Now, the rest of you, I want you all finished early so you can make yourselves spic and span for the Special Train this afternoon.

James: (Cuts to him mumbling.) Oh, no...
