The World's Strongest Engine

 * Alec Baldwin: The engines on the Island of Sodor liked feeling responsible, reliable and really useful. They work hard to compete their jobs on time. They don't like confusion and delay. But the troublesome trucks delight in mischief, and their mischief causes trouble as poor Henry found out.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Henry has had an accident and been sent for repairs.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There are no other engines available. So Diesel will help until Henry returns.
 * Engines: Yes sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed the engines, but they weren't happy. The engines didn't like Diesel he was always being rude and always showing off.
 * Percy: I hope Henry's mended soon.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy.
 * Thomas: He moves more trucks than three Diesels put together.
 * Alec Baldwin: Agreed Thomas.
 * Gordon: Trucks are no one's friends.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed Gordon. The next day, Diesel was working at the docks.
 * Diesel: When Sir Topham Hatt sees how good I am.
 * Alec Baldwin: He bragged to the trucks.
 * Diesel: He'll get rid of steam engines once and for all.
 * Alec Baldwin: This gave the troublesome trucks an idea. As Diesel was shunting them together, they started to sing.
 * Troublesome Trucks: (singing) Is that all you can haul, Henry loads are longer, is that all you can haul, Henry must be stronger.
 * Alec Baldwin: Diesel was cross. He was sure to be stronger than Henry.
 * Diesel: I'll push you all at the same time.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said. The trucks giggled.
 * Troublesome Trucks: (singing) Push us all, that's the longest, push us all, you'll be the strongest.
 * Diesel: That's me.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Diesel.
 * Diesel: The world's strongest engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: And Diesel shunted five trucks together, then ten, then fifteen. Soon he had an enormous line of twenty trucks.
 * Percy: What's Diesel doing?
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Percy.
 * Thomas: He thinks he's the world's strongest engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Thomas. Diesel didn't know the shunters had set the brakes on the trucks. The troublesome trucks knew, but encouraged Diesel to push anyway.
 * Troublesome Trucks: Push, push, push!
 * Alec Baldwin: And Diesel pushed and he pushed and he pushed, but the trucks didn't move. So Diesel decided to pull the trucks instead.
 * Troublesome Trucks: (singing) Heave ho, heave ho, you can pull but we wont go.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sang the trucks. This made Diesel very cross. He pulled and he pulled and he pulled.
 * Diesel: Help!
 * (Diesel falls into a barge)
 * Diesel: Grease and oil!
 * Alec Baldwin: Diesel sulked as the trucks laughed and laughed. Sir Topham Hatt looked down crossly at Diesel.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I thought you would be a proper dockyard diesel, but I was wrong.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Can you make up for lost time, Henry?
 * Henry: Oh yes sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Henry replied happily. He backed up to the trucks and the shunters released the brakes. Then Henry pulled away as easy as pie.
 * (Henry pulls the lined cars away)
 * Alec Baldwin: And the engines cheered. Diesel was sent home in disgrace, but the engines had learned a lesson.
 * Thomas: Even troublesome trucks can do you a favor sometime.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuffed Thomas.
 * Percy: Like getting rid of a smelly old Diesel.
 * Alec Baldwin: Puffed Percy.

Middle Engine

 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt's engines love their work. Gordon likes pulling the express, Thomas likes his branch line and Percy likes taking the mail. But none of them likes being a middle engine. It's no fun being stuck in the middle. One morning, Percy was cheerfully collecting coal cars from the smelter's yards, where 'Arry and Bert worked. They like to play tricks on steam engines. Percy didn't want to fall for their tricks again. But before he knew it, he was stuck in the middle.
 * Percy: Oh Bother!
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed Percy crossly.
 * Arry: Little green piggy in the middle!
 * Alec Baldwin: Arry teased. Percy's driver was cross. With coal cars in front and coal cars behind, Percy had to go slowly. James was in the yards when Percy was steamed slowly by.
 * James: Ha ha! It's Pokey Percy!
 * Alec Baldwin: James laughed.
 * Percy: You wouldn't be laughing if you were stuck in the middle.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy fumed. And he fumed all the way to the coaling plant. One by one, he shunted his coal cars onto the tipper's loading ramp and the coal was unloaded. Percy was not allowed to cross the loading ramp until the tipper had been turned off. It was against the rules. But as soon as his driver and fireman left, there was trouble. Henry arrived to pickup coal. He bumped into the coal cars and the coal cars bumped into Percy. Percy was pushed onto the loading ramp.
 * Percy: Help!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Percy. Percy was hoisted up, tipped over and brought back down again. After Percy was load back down to the ground, the manager was very cross.
 * Manager: You have caused confusion and delay!
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Manager: I'll have to report this to Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Alec Baldwin: That night, Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Percy.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I'm very disappointed you, Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You know it's against the rules to go on to the tipper's loading ramp.
 * Percy: Sorry sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy said sadly.
 * Percy: But it wasn't my fault. It's because those diesels made me a middle engine.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Nevertheless, you will shunt freight cars in the yards until I can get to the bottom of this.
 * James: Pah!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said James, thinking that he can hear.
 * James: I can handle those diesels with bent buffers and a busted boiler!
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Then you will do Percy's run to the smelter.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * James: Yes sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said James. The next day, James arrived at the smelter. He was determined to be tricked by 'Arry and Bert.
 * Arry: Hello, James.
 * Alec Baldwin: Oosed Arry.
 * Arry: Come to learn a thing or 2 from those who know?
 * James: Just get my freight cars ready and stay out of my way.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed James importantly.
 * Bert: Yes, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Bert chimed greasily. James cheerfully backed up to his freight cars. He was certain he had fooled Arry and Bert but he was wrong.
 * Arry: Little red piggy in the middle!
 * Alec Baldwin: Chortled Arry
 * Bert: Just like Percy!
 * Alec Baldwin: Jeered Bert.
 * James: I am NOT like Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Puffed James.
 * James: I am not a middle engine and I am not moving.
 * Alec Baldwin: And he didn't. When Sir Topham Hatt heard the news he sent Percy to fetch James. This made Percy happy. He buffered up to James and took him along with all the freight cars to the docks.
 * Manager: Right on time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the manager.
 * Manager: But what does that big red engine doing in the middle?
 * Percy: Learning.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy replied.
 * Manager: Learning what?
 * Percy: Learning to be a middle engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy laughed. James covered himself in steam hoping no-one would recognize him, but it was good. There was only one big red engine on the island and everyone knows his name is James!

Thomas and Percy's Mountain Adventure

 * Alec Baldwin: If someday you should see Thomas the Tank Engine puffing happily along the line, he may be on his way to a village nestled deep in the heart of the Island of Sodor. One December morning, Thomas whistled to all his friends.
 * Thomas: It's nearly Christmas and I'll bring you lots of letters and parcels.
 * Alec Baldwin: But then, an early snowstorm came. The island was covered with thick snow. The engines found work difficult. Some had to help clear snow from the track and workmen hacked away at the frozen banks of ice. Thomas and Percy were collecting important mail for Christmas.
 * Thomas: Driver says there's lots of mail for the village.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I'll need an extra car for it all.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy was feeling left out.
 * Percy: It's not fair, you're not leaving any mail for me.
 * Alec Baldwin: But Percy's chance had come.
 * Thomas' Driver: There's been a change of plan.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas' driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: Sir Topham Hatt needs us at the big station. Percy, you are to take Thomas' train to the village.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy was delighted, but Thomas was sad.
 * Thomas: I won't be able to say happy Christmas to all my friends.
 * Percy: Don't worry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy kindly.
 * Percy: I'll do it for you.
 * Thomas: It's not the same.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Thomas. Percy was making good time on his way to the village when suddenly...
 * Percy's Driver: What's that?
 * Alec Baldwin: Called his driver. There ahead was a fogman by the line. He was holding a red light.
 * Fogman: The village is cut off by the snow.
 * Alec Baldwin: He shouted.
 * Fogman: We need snowplows, workmen and a helicopter. Leave your cars on the sidings and go back quickly.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy was soon steaming to Harold's airfield.
 * Percy: Peep, peep!
 * Alec Baldwin: Whistled Percy.
 * Percy: Wake up, lazy-wings, the mountain villagers need your help. They're stranded.
 * Harold: With so.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Harold.
 * Harold: I like an emergency to keep me warm.
 * Alec Baldwin: And he buzzed away.
 * Percy: Now.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sighed Percy.
 * Percy: What's next?
 * Alec Baldwin: Suddenly, there was Thomas with Terence the Tractor and the works train.
 * Thomas: Come on, Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Whistled Thomas.
 * Thomas: Follow me.
 * Alec Baldwin: The two engines battled their way through the snow. At last, they reached the village. Harold was already there busily dropping food to people and animals. Terence quickly got to work.
 * Terence: Lovely stuff.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said as he pushed the snow aside.
 * Villagers: Well done, Percy. Well done, Thomas.
 * Alec Baldwin: Cheered the villagers.
 * Villagers: You're the best Santa Claus this village has ever had!
 * Percy: What's a Santa Claus?
 * Alec Baldwin: Asked Percy.
 * Thomas: Santa Claus is someone who drops presents down chimneys at Christmas time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy looked at his funnel.
 * Percy: I wonder if...
 * Thomas: No!
 * Alec Baldwin: Laughed Thomas.
 * Thomas: Chimneys, Percy, not funnels. Which reminds me, your mail train is still back at the siding isn't it?
 * Alec Baldwin: Percy hurried back to fetch it. Just then, Toby arrived with Henrietta.
 * Toby: We've brought lots of hot drinks and food for the villagers.
 * Alec Baldwin: He whistled. That night all the engines had gone back to the sheds, except Toby. The villagers had made a plan to thank the engines. They loaded paint pots and parcels into Henrietta and then they set off through the moonlit countryside. All the engines were fast asleep in the sheds as Toby ran silently into the yard. He had no idea what the villagers were going to do, but he knew it was going to be a big surprise. When the engines woke the next morning they could not believe their eyes. The sheds had been repainted and decorated. The engines whistled in delight and everyone agreed that it was a really happy Christmas.

It's Only Snow

 * Alec Baldwin: It's winter holiday time on the Island of Sodor. It's very cold, but the engines don't mind. They loved this time of year when the stations looked jolly in their decorations. There was plenty of work with passengers and parcels to be delivered no matter what the weather.
 * Edward: Driver says there's more snow on the way.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Edward.
 * James: We'll soon be wearing our snowploughs.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said James.
 * Henry: You'll enjoy that. Won't you, Thomas?
 * Alec Baldwin: Teased Henry.
 * Thomas: You know I won't.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I don't like my snowplough.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sure enough that night, the wind blew and the snow fell heavily. The next morning, Sir Topham Hatt arrived. He told the engines they would have snowploughs fitted.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: And you are to collect a special from Callan Station. It's needed for the village feast on Toby's branch line.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas was excited about his special, but not about his snowplough.
 * Thomas: Please sir. My plough is awkward and uncomfortable. Do I have to wear it?
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Everyone has to wear a snowplough.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Sir Topham Hatt. The fitters, his driver and fireman all helped with Thomas' snowplough.
 * Thomas' Driver: We'll have to try that again.
 * Alec Baldwin: Laughed his driver.
 * Thomas: Big horrid awkward thing.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas grumbled. He was much happier when he arrived at Callan Station and saw his special. It was a beautiful Christmas tree.
 * Edward: The tree will have lights and stand in the middle of the village.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Edward.
 * Edward: Make sure you get it to Toby safely.
 * Thomas: I will.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas. Thomas arrived at Maithwaite and Toby was very happy to see him.
 * Toby: The villagers will be delighted with this tree.
 * Alec Baldwin: Toby said.
 * Toby: I'm glad you have your snowplough. I can't clear the snowdrifts by myself.
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas couldn't see there was a huge rock buried under the snow. Suddenly, his snowplough hit the rock.
 * Thomas: Bouncing Buffers!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried Thomas.
 * Thomas: My plough is broken!
 * Alec Baldwin: His driver tried to stop but the broken plough hit the water tower.
 * Thomas: Cinders and ashes!
 * Alec Baldwin: Exclaimed Thomas.
 * Thomas' Driver: We can't go any further.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas' driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: And there's no one to help us.
 * Thomas: But the villagers need their tree.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: Let me try again, I'm sure I can make it.
 * Alec Baldwin: It wasn't easy without a snowplough. But Thomas was determined. He pushed and he pushed and he pushed. Thomas was trying as hard as he could, but there was just one snowdrift after another. Finally, Thomas and Toby were pulling into the village station. Thomas whistled and the villagers cheered when they saw their beautiful tree.
 * Villagers: Hooray!
 * Alec Baldwin: They said.
 * Villagers: Hooray!
 * Alec Baldwin: The next day, Sir Topham Hatt sent for Thomas. Thomas was worried. What would Sir Topham Hatt say about his broken snowplough?
 * Alec Baldwin: But Sir Topham Hatt wasn't cross, he was very pleased.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The Villagers had a wonderful feast.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You were very brave to take on that snow without a plow.
 * Thomas: Thank you sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: As you know...
 * Alec Baldwin: Continued Sir Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There are no spare snow ploughs, so, you'll just have to do without yours for a while
 * Thomas: Oh! Thank you sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Grinned Thomas.
 * (Thomas' whistle toots)

Dunkin Duncan

 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty, Rheneas and Skarloey chugged cheerfully through the Sodor countryside. The engines were going to help Duncan with an important job at the incline railway. The engines enjoyed working at the incline railway. They like the clever way the loaded slate cars roll down the incline pulling the empty slate cars up. But they are always careful. Duncan doesn't like working at the incline railway. He is always impatient to get back to the junction. This makes him careless and gets him into lots of trouble. Rusty hoped Duncan would stay out of trouble today, but he was already in too much of a hurry.
 * Duncan: I'm a plain speaking engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: Gruffed Duncan.
 * Duncan: So collect your slate cars and be quick about it.
 * Alec Baldwin: And off he steamed.
 * Rheneas: Bossy boots.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuffed Rheneas.
 * Skarloey: Pushy puffer.
 * Alec Baldwin: Huffed Skarloey. They didn't like Duncan telling them what to do.
 * Rusty: He just wants to get back to the bustle of the junction.
 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty said. Duncan wanted everyone to work faster.
 * Duncan: You're supposed to be helping me.
 * Alec Baldwin: He grumbled.
 * Duncan: But you're as slow as snails.
 * Rusty: We're proper engines.
 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty huffed crossly.
 * Rusty: We followed the rules.
 * Rheneas: We can't send up more than 4 slate cars at a time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuffed Rheneas.
 * Duncan: Then work faster.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duncan impatiently. Later that day, Duncan was working at the incline.
 * Duncan: I'll show you how fast a really useful engine can work.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan called as he hastily biffed 1 slate car into another and then another. Soon, Duncan had his 4 slate cars.
 * Duncan: Nothing to it!
 * Alec Baldwin: He boasted to Rusty.
 * Rusty: Those slate cars will pay you back.
 * Alec Baldwin: Warned Rusty.
 * Rusty: Slate cars don't like to be biffed.
 * Duncan: I can handle slate cars.
 * Alec Baldwin: He cried. The 3 little engines could see Duncan was not going to listen. They carefully chuffed away from the incline with their slate cars full of slate. Duncan was so impatient he became even more careless.
 * Duncan: I'll show that smelly diesel and those lazy steamers.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said to his driver.
 * Duncan's Driver: Careful.
 * Alec Baldwin: Cautioned his driver.
 * Duncan's Driver: You're asking for trouble.
 * Alec Baldwin: And he got it. Duncan didn't notice his chain was tangled in the coupling of the slate car in front of him. Suddenly, he was being pulled up the track by the empty slate cars.
 * Duncan: Bouncing bogies!
 * Alec Baldwin: He cried.
 * Duncan: It's got me!
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan's driver jumped clear. Rusty returned to see Duncan being pulled up the incline.
 * Rusty: I tried to warn him.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Rusty.
 * Rusty's Driver: He never listens.
 * Alec Baldwin: The little diesel's driver said. The chain pulling Duncan's slate cars couldn't hold the weight. It suddenly snapped. Duncan plummeted down the incline.
 * Duncan: Help!
 * Alec Baldwin: He yelled.
 * (Duncan falls into a pond)
 * Duncan: Glub, glub, glub.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Duncan: Bluggle my bloiler. (Bubble My Boiler.)
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan felt foolish and very wet. When Sir Topham Hatt arrived, he spoke severely to Duncan.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You have not been a responsible engine.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Your impatience has caused confusion and delay and you owe these engines in apology.
 * Duncan: Sorry.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan said to Rusty, Rheneas and Skarloey.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Once you have been repaired.
 * Alec Baldwin: Sir Topham Hatt said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You will work the incline until you learn to be patient and careful.
 * Duncan: Yes, sir.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duncan.

Faulty Whistles

 * Alec Baldwin: It was early morning on the Island of Sodor. Duncan was waiting for Peter Sam who was bringing some freight cars for him to take to strawberry grove. Duncan was also to take the headmaster and the new organ. While they waited, the headmaster played a lively tune. Peter Sam had steamed all through the night to bring Duncan his wagons. But as he approached the junction, a low hanging branch knocked his whistle off. This meant he couldn't work until he got a new one.
 * Peter Sam: I can't run on the tracks without my whistle.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuffed Peter Sam.
 * Peter Sam: That would be dangerous.
 * Duncan: An engine's not an engine without a whistle.
 * Alec Baldwin: Boasted Duncan and just to prove it, he let off a big blast. But the rest of the engines just ignored him. Duncan chuffed away in a big huff. He was cross.
 * Duncan: They're jealous of my fine whistle.
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan puffed as he steamed through the countryside. He whistled at some sheep. But they were too busy eating grass to take notice.
 * Duncan: Bah!
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duncan.
 * Duncan: I need to whistle louder and longer next time.
 * Alec Baldwin: Soon, Duncan approached the level crossing where Elizabeth the Quarry Truck waited with a farmer's prized bull. This time, Duncan as loud and as long as he could.
 * Bull: (roars)
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the bull.
 * Elizabeth: Stop that nonsense, Duncan.
 * Alec Baldwin: Elizabeth called. Duncan carried on cheerfully down the track. But he hadn't noticed his whistle had come loose. Then, Duncan saw Terence plowing a field.
 * Duncan: He'll get the loudest and longest whistle yet.
 * Alec Baldwin: He chortled to himself. And he blew so hard, his whistle shot off like a mighty rocket and landed out of sight. Everyone searched for Duncan's whistle but it was nowhere to be seen.
 * Duncan's Driver: We're stuck.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said his driver.
 * Duncan's Driver: We can't move without a whistle. It would be too dangerous.
 * Headmaster: Leave it to me.
 * Alec Baldwin: The headmaster said. For the rest of the day, Duncan didn't make a sound. But the headmaster's organ did.
 * (Organ toots)
 * Alec Baldwin: As Duncan delivered his freight cars, the headmaster tooted the organ at every crossing and every stop. It alerted everyone just as a whistle would.
 * (Organ toots again)
 * Alec Baldwin: Although Duncan didn't think so.
 * (Organ toots one more)
 * Alec Baldwin: Finally Duncan finished delivering the last of his freight cars.
 * (Organ gets one final toot)
 * (She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain playing on organ)
 * Alec Baldwin: Duncan steamed quietly back to the junction as the headmaster played the organ.
 * Rusty: Look.
 * Alec Baldwin: Rusty teased.
 * Rusty: It's Duncan the musical engine.
 * Rheneas: Let's whistle along.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Rheneas.
 * Skarloey: (whistles)
 * Alec Baldwin: Whistled Skarloey. But Peter Sam who had a shiny new whistle felt sorry for Duncan.
 * Peter Sam: You really did well to deliver your goods without a whistle.
 * Alec Baldwin: He said.
 * Duncan: Did you think so?
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Duncan cheering up a bit.
 * Peter Sam: Absolutely.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Peter Sam.
 * Peter Sam: Even though an engine's not an engine without a whistle.
 * Headmaster: Or an organ.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuckled the headmaster and he tooted the organ. And all the engines tooted back except Duncan, who just grinned.

Thomas, Percy and Old Slowcoach

 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas, Percy and James were looking at the early morning sky.
 * Thomas: Everyone's so much happier when springtime comes.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas.
 * James: Everyone except Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Alec Baldwin: Grumbled James.
 * James: He seems to be working us harder that ever. I'm tired of these coastal runs.
 * Percy: He just wants everything to be ready for the holidays.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Percy.
 * Percy: Anyway, salty air makes me all cheerful in my smokebox.
 * James: Pah!
 * Alec Baldwin: Snorted James.
 * James: It's the countryside that really gets me fired up, it's the only place to be!
 * Alec Baldwin: And he puffed away to collect his freight cars from the docks. Thomas and Percy had to take some empty freight cars to the scrap yards. In a siding, they saw an old coach. She looked very sad.
 * Percy: What are you doing here?
 * Old Slowcoach: They called me Old Slowcoach, and told me I wasn't useful anymore. Now only the mice ride in me.
 * Thomas: Well, you may be dusty, but you look in perfect shape.
 * Alec Baldwin: The Yard manager appeared.
 * Yard Manager: Come along, I have freight cars for you to take away.
 * Percy's Driver: Excuse me.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy's Driver.
 * Percy's Driver: Can you tell us about this coach?
 * Yard Manager: Old Slowcoach; she's been here for years. She'll be broken up when we find the time.
 * Alec Baldwin: The engines were dismayed.
 * Thomas: We'll try and help you.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Thomas. But he didn't know how. Meanwhile, James was enjoying himself.
 * James: This is the life!
 * Alec Baldwin: He chortled, but he was heading for trouble. One of the fuel cars was leaking, then suddenly, it caught fire.
 * James: Oh help!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried James. They reached a siding, and his driver gave the alarm.
 * James' Driver: It's fuel, and it's dangerous.
 * Alec Baldwin: As Thomas and Percy approached the junction, they saw the smoke, and a guard waving a red flag.
 * Guard: Sparks from James' funnel have set the cars a blaze.
 * Alec Baldwin: He called.
 * Guard: The fire is under control, but it's quite a mess.
 * Percy: You said the countryside got you all 'fired up', James.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy.
 * Percy: But I didn't think you meant it in this way.
 * James: Hah!
 * Alec Baldwin: Snorted James.
 * James: It was the stupid cars' fault, not mine.
 * Fireman: It's safe to proceed now.
 * Alec Baldwin: Called a fireman. Thomas and Percy now felt sorry for James. It wasn't long before they reached the station. Later, as they were having a long drink at the water towers, they suddenly heard a commotion.
 * Thomas: What's the matter?
 * Alec Baldwin: Thomas asked.
 * Thomas' Driver: It's another fire at the workman's hut.
 * Alec Baldwin: Replied Thomas' Driver.
 * Thomas' Driver: We better see what we can do.
 * (Thomas and Percy race into the scene only to see the hut on fire)
 * Alec Baldwin: The fire engines had a big problem.
 * Fireman: We are completely out of water!
 * Alec Baldwin: Cried a fireman.
 * Fireman: We can't use sea water cause' it clogs our works. We'll just have to let that building burn.
 * Alec Baldwin: Then Thomas had an idea.
 * Thomas: Why don't you use the water in our tanks? We've just refilled them.
 * Alec Baldwin: The firemen wasted no time.
 * Drivers: You're very clever engines.
 * Alec Baldwin: Chuckled their drivers. Soon, the fire was out, but the hut where the workmen lived was destroyed.
 * Foreman: The men can't sleep on the beach.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said the Foreman.
 * Percy: What about Old Slowcoach? She would be perfect for the workmen.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said Percy.
 * Thomas: Comfy too.
 * Alec Baldwin: Added Thomas.
 * Percy's Driver: What a good idea Percy.
 * Alec Baldwin: Said his driver. They phoned Sir Topham Hatt, who agreed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: She'll be spic and span by the time you collect her.
 * Alec Baldwin: And she was, and very happy, too.
 * Old Slowcoach: I can't thank you enough. I feel splendid.
 * Alec Baldwin: The engines buffered up to her, and she set off happily for her new home. Everyone agreed there was nothing old or slow about coach, and she will always be really useful indeed.
