Script

 * (We open this episode with the Thomas and Friends Season 7 intro)
 * (After that, we begin the character introduction)
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas is a really useful engine. Here's Percy. He is a very happy engine. James is a magnificent engine. Gordon is the most fastest engine on the Island of Sodor. Henry is long and fast. Here's Edward always here to help.
 * (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Snow Engine)
 * Michael Brandon: Oliver and Duck are Great Western engines. They delivered goods and passengers when the roads are closed by deep snow. Oliver thinks snow was messy and cold.
 * Oliver: I'm a Great Western engine.
 * Michael Brandon: He chuffed one day.
 * Oliver: I shouldn't have to shiver.
 * Toad: Begging your pardon, Mr. Oliver?
 * Michael Brandon: Said Toad.
 * Toad: But I think snow is splendid.
 * Oliver: Huh.
 * Michael Brandon: Later, Oliver saw some children building a giant snowman for their winter festival. Each time, Oliver passed by the snowman grew bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
 * Toad: Just an obviation, Mr. Oliver, snow is magical.
 * Oliver: Oh.
 * Michael Brandon: Finally, the snowman was complete. Oliver chuffed back to his warm cozy shed. Sir Topham Hatt was waiting for him.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: You have to return to the mountain village.
 * Michael Brandon: He said.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Some goods are needed for the festival.
 * Oliver: But all this snow makes my wheels feel chilly.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Really useful engines work hard whatever the weather.
 * Michael Brandon: Soon, Oliver was loaded and on his way. The snow was cold. It had frozen the points and diverted Oliver into the station sidings.
 * Oliver: Whoa, shiver my boiler!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Oliver. His driver applied the brakes.
 * Toad: Is there a problem, Mr. Oliver?
 * Oliver: Yeah, there is! Whoo!
 * (Oliver crashed into the giant snowman)
 * Toad: That could been a little smoother.
 * Michael Brandon: Oliver felt awful. He thought the children would be upset about their snowman. Oliver's driver went for help. Sir Topahm Hatt was just leaving his office when he got the call.
 * Cat: Meow.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Duck will bring the breakdown crane first thing in the morning.
 * Michael Brandon: He said. Oliver's driver returned and told him the news.
 * Oliver: I'll be out here all night.
 * Michael Brandon: Moaned Oliver.
 * Oliver's Driver: I'm afraid so.
 * Michael Brandon: Luckily, the village inn had a toasty warm room for Oliver's driver. But Oliver was getting colder and colder. His fire had gone out and his funnel was covered in icicles.
 * Oliver: I was right all along. There's nothing magical about snow.
 * Michael Brandon: Toad was beginning to think Oliver might be right.
 * Toad: Brrr!
 * Michael Brandon: Next morning the children saw the situation.
 * Girl: Look.
 * Michael Brandon: A little girl shouted.
 * Girl: Our snowman has eyes in his tummy.
 * Boy: No it doesn't.
 * Michael Brandon: Laughed a little boy.
 * Boy: It's Oliver.
 * Michael Brandon: That gave the children an idea. When Oliver woke up he was surrounded by happy children.
 * Children: Oliver's a wonderful snow engine!
 * Michael Brandon: They cried. Oliver was so relief that suddenly he didn't feel any cold anymore. When Duck arrived with the breakdown crane, Oliver didn't want to leave. He loved the winter festival so much.
 * Oliver: You were right, Toad.
 * Michael Brandon: Oliver called.
 * Oliver: There are some magical things about snow.
 * Toad: Perhaps, Mr. Oliver.
 * Michael Brandon: Shivered Toad.
 * Oliver: Absolutely.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Winter Wonderland)

 * (Sleigh bells dingling)
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Bill, Ben and Fergus)
 * Michael Brandon: Fergus is a small railway traction engine works on the Island of Sodor. One day, he was on his way to the quarry. He had a special job to do for Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Thomas: Hello!
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Thomas.
 * Thomas: Where are you going?
 * Fergus: To the quarry.
 * Michael Brandon: Fergus chuffed happily.
 * Thomas: Watch out for Bill and Ben the twins.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: They love to make mischief.
 * Fergus: I won't let young rascals rattle me.
 * Thomas: You don't know the twins like I do.
 * Michael Brandon: Warned Thomas. Fergus arrived at the quarry. He went to work with Mavis and the twins.
 * Mavis: I'm afraid the freight cars are in a mess.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Mavis.
 * Fergus: Not to worry. We'll sort them out.
 * Michael Brandon: Bill and Ben were delighted.
 * Ben: Now we'll have some fun.
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Ben.
 * Bill: We'll have the old boiler in a spin.
 * Michael Brandon: Steamed Bill. Fergus liked helping Mavis. But he didn't like the way the twins were behaving one bit. Bill banged his freight cars hard. Some rocks fell onto the track.
 * Fergus: Do it right!
 * Michael Brandon: Fergus ordered. Bill didn't like being ordered about by a traction engine.
 * Bill: Don't interfere!
 * Michael Brandon: He snapped back. Then Ben pushed his freight cars to block the line. Fergus was stuck.
 * Fergus: Out of my way!
 * Michael Brandon: Steamed Fergus. But Ben just grinned. The next day, the men were blasting rock.
 * Fergus: Wait for the all clear signal.
 * Michael Brandon: Fergus called to Bill and Ben.
 * Fergus: Do it right.
 * Bill: There he goes again.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Bill.
 * Bill: Do it right, from morning till night.
 * Ben: Keep your funnel out of our quarry.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Ben. The quarry master sent Bill and Ben to collect a rock crusher from the harbour. Fergus was left in peace with Mavis. The twins were still thinking about Fergus.
 * Bill: He's just an old fusspot.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Bill.
 * Ben: He's always saying Do It Right.
 * Bill: Well the next thing he tells us to do.
 * Michael Brandon: Wheeshed Bill.
 * Bill and Ben: We'll do it wrong. (laugh together)
 * Michael Brandon: They laughed. Bill and Ben steamed back to the quarry. The rock crusher was heavy. Shaking the rails as they went.
 * Fergus: The blasting has made that rock face unsafe.
 * Michael Brandon: Warned Fergus.
 * Fergus: Don't go near it, do it right.
 * Michael Brandon: But the twins took no notice of Fergus and were very naughty. As roughly as they could, they rattled the load towards the cliff.
 * Fergus: Look out!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Fergus and he rushed forward and bumped Bill and Ben out of the way. His driver jumped to safety as the rocks began to fall. But Fergus was covered in rocks right up to his funnel. It took a long time to dig him out. And no one worked harder to help than Bill and Ben. At last, Fergus was free. Bill and Ben were ashamed.
 * Bill: We should have been so naughty.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Bill.
 * Ben: We're very sorry.
 * Michael Brandon: Added Ben.
 * Fergus: Good.
 * Michael Brandon: Smiled Fergus.
 * Fergus: From now on we can all do it right together.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin The Island Song)
 * Children: (singing) Picture a land where the sky is so blue. A storybook land of wonder. A magical island just waiting for you. Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true. Imagine a place where the sun always smiles. The valleys are green as can be. The friends that you love are all waiting for you. Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true. Children follow the dream. To the land of make-believe. The Island of Sodor. A magical land where dreams come true.
 * Girl: Follow the road that leads to a dream over the hills and mountains. Look for the skies with stars in their eyes.
 * Children: (singing) Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true. Children follow the dream. To the land of make-believe. The Island of Sodor. A magical land where dreams come true. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. The Island of Sodor. A magical land where dreams come true.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Best Dressed Engine)
 * Michael Brandon: It was mayday on the Island of Sodor, and the engines were celebrating. They knew they'd be music and lots of fun. The station was being decorated. Sir Topham Hatt said that the engines could be too.
 * Percy: I'm going to have flags and streamers.
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Percy.
 * Thomas: I'm going to have a big red banner.
 * Michael Brandon: Whistled Thomas.
 * Murdoch: What decorations will you have, Gordon?
 * Michael Brandon: Asked Murdoch.
 * Gordon: Decorations are dignified for an important engine like me. I pull the express.
 * Michael Brandon: Gordon was feeling insulted.
 * Gordon: (grunts) Silly little engines.
 * Michael Brandon: He grunted. Thomas was enjoying himself. He was bringing the maypole. The farmer's children waved. Thomas peeped happily as he passed by. Soon, it was time for the decorating. Percy's driver was wrapping streamers and flags around his funnel, Thomas had a big red banner on his tanks, even Murdoch was being decorated. Although he was very shy about it.
 * James: We can have a contest for the best dressed engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Suggested James. Just then, Gordon shunted in.
 * Gordon: A contest?
 * Michael Brandon: He puffed.
 * Gordon: I'm bound to win any contests.
 * James: You will have to be decorated.
 * Michael Brandon: Said James.
 * James: This is a best dressed engine contest.
 * Gordon: Not me.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Gordon.
 * Gordon: You never catch me looking so ridiculous.
 * Michael Brandon: The engines felt splendid. But not Gordon. He was cross.
 * Gordon: Decorations are dignified. Huh! Who cares about a competition anyway?
 * Michael Brandon: Further down his line a colorful banner was strong across the bridge. Then, as Gordon steamed across the bridge, it came loose and wrapped around his firebox. Gordon couldn't see the line ahead. Gordon tried to whoosh the banner off but the banner wouldn't budge.
 * Gordon: I can't see!
 * Michael Brandon: He whistled loudly to his driver.
 * Gordon: Stop!
 * Gordon's Driver: You can't stop, Gordon.
 * Michael Brandon: His driver called back.
 * Gordon's Driver: You're the express.
 * Michael Brandon: Trevor was chugging slowly along with his load of apples for the children's apple bob. Trevor heard a whistle. He was going as fast as he could, but it wasn't fast enough. The apples were all smashed. James was the last engine to join the competition, or so he thought.
 * Passengers: Here comes Gordon.
 * Michael Brandon: Cried the passengers.
 * Thomas: We didn't think you wanted to be decorated.
 * Michael Brandon: Teased Thomas.
 * Gordon: I didn't.
 * Michael Brandon: Huffed Gordon.
 * James: Well, you're definitely the best dressed engine.
 * Michael Brandon: Said James. All the engines agreed. Gordon was secretly pleased, but he didn't think it was dignified to say so. Silly Gordon.
 * (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Five New Engines In The Shed)

Harvey with his crane looks strange, but he'll take the strain on the railway. Salty is the dockside diesel, he'll tell a tale or two. Arthur too, is shy but true, he'll be there for you.
 * Boy: Look, there's Murdoch.
 * Girl: He's so big and strong.
