Thomas' Railway Movie

Thomas' Railway Movie is a movie based on Thomas' Railway Adventures.

Plot
A evil diesel, Smelter, plots to destroy Molly. It's up to Thomas, Duck, Oliver, James and Stepney to stop Smelter and rescue Molly.

Part One
{pitch black}

Narrator: I believe that most folks - like yourselves - understand that on a train journey, great adventure may never be very far away and that long after the sound of a train whistle has vanished, it's romance will be safe in every human heart - whatever age, whatever the time. Most folks are happy to know this is a pity because that’s all it takes to cause a lot of trouble to some of the most precious things in life. This is a story about trains working together; as they were meant to be.

''{We see Thomas puffing out of a tunnel with Annie and Clarabel. Cut: Thomas is puffing behind some bushes.}''

Narrator: Every story, like a railway, has it's heroes.

{Thomas is puffing down the rails.}

Narrator: This is Thomas. He's the number one tank engine.

Thomas: {whistles} Hello!

Narrator: But he's running a little late today.

{Thomas is pulling Annie and Clarabelle past the river mill.}

Narrator: This is the North Western Railway, sometimes known as the Island of Sodor, where Thomas and his friends live. Most of the story takes place here.

{All the engines working and talking: Molly pulling red coaches to Henry's tunnel and whistles to Emily pulling Martha and Jennifer, going out the tunnel; Gordon pulling the express with Donald and Douglas working in the harbor; Toby pulling Henrietta and Victoria at Edward's station, Edward in a siding, and Henry pulling the express and the three whistle at each other; Percy pulling the mail, Stanley shunting trucks; James and Eagle pulling a goods train; Neville helping Duck and Oliver at the docks.}

Narrator: It is a great place, even when a man named Sir Topham Hatt is running it.

''{Thomas is chuffing happily along the branch line, which happened to belong to him. Annie and Clarabel (his coaches) are full of passengers as Thomas pulls them happily along the line.}''

Narrator: It was on this particular morning, Thomas was puffing down his branch line, with his two coaches Annie and Clarabel.Thomas was singing to them.

Thomas: {singing happily} I am Thomas the tank engine, Puffing happily down this track. Annie follows close behind, And Clarabel is at the back!

''{Thomas stops at Tidmouth Station. He meets Gordon, with the Express, who is waiting at the platform.}''

Gordon: I'm waiting.

Thomas: You're late, Gordon.

Gordon: I'm waiting for the passengers to take on ride. What does that say?

{Thomas sees a board}

Thomas: Hmm, "North Western Railway: Really Reliable and Right On Time. Sighed Head Of The Railway, Sir Topham Hatt."

Gordon: You're cheeky, Thomas.

Thomas: You're bossy, Gordon. The Fat Controller's son will be in charge of the North Western Railway.

Gordon: Railways will have long jobs.

Narrator: Suddenly, a large, green, intimidating diesel engine, Smelter, with a metallic hydraulic crane arm on his roof with a giant metal claw, sped by.

Smelter: {deep, gruff voice and a strong Australian accent (with the lashings of Russian)} Get out of my way! This is dreadfully useful! I'm fully bad, and anything useful is bad for my jobs.

Gordon: {scared} It's Smelter!

Thomas: Devious deeds and brutal strength.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Smelter came into the siding and the scrapyard. He was planning to destroy the engines.

''{Smelter is purring slowly on the smelters. He stops alongside an diesel like him - Bixby}''

Bixby: You do﻿ know this stupid attempt may well have put our motors under the guillotine!

Smelter: You ordered it, Bixby.

Bixby: I never once did say you going and destroy god-#$%! stations! You killed nearly twenty people from what I heard! You have been too cold-hearted. You kill innocent people, exactly the opposite of what I expected from you. You will be dealt with. You will be followed wherever you go. And any attempt of destroying anyone else will be the end of you.

Narrator: Smelter sneered at Bixby, and purred away, to prepare his next scheme.

{Thomas is puffing crossly towards Timouth Sheds}

Narrator: Thomas wasn't happy about Smelter coming to Sodor.

Thomas: That diesel, Smelter. The Fat Controller says "However long he stays, I hope you will make him welcome and comfortable. Run along now and show him the shed. He will want a rest after his journey."

Narrator: Thomas backed up to Tidmouth Sheds where James, Duck and Oliver were there.

Thomas: What are you doing in the shed?

James: I'm feeling a little blue, which isn't so hot when you're red.

Duck: The Fat Controller think we're really useful engines.

Oliver: They never complain about it.

Narrator: Smelter came into the shed.

Thomas: The Fat Controller said "Here is Smelter, the Scrap Diesel, who has come to help while Molly is...um...indisposed."

Smelter: {laughs evilly}

Thomas, James, Duck and Oliver: {gasp in terror}

Smelter: You'll always need help! Because steam engines are cowardly, cranky, worn out hunks of metal, who couldn't hurt a fly!

James: No we're not!

Smelter: Yes you are!

James: Aren't!

Smelter: Are! Now, I've come to find the yellow puffball. I'm going to destroy her and replace you. And then, you'll be nothing but useless scrap!

Smelter: {laughs evilly as he purrs away}

Thomas: We're really useful engines. If you won't replace us, you won't destroy her. I'll find The Fat Controller and Molly now.

James: Molly.

Duck and Oliver: What yellow puffball?!

Part Two
Narrator: Thomas grumbled towards the other engines. But he stopped, he could see Molly in the shed with five other engines. They were boasting.

Molly: Thomas, I'm happy to see you.

Thomas: Molly, what are you doing?

Molly: I was with the other engines. They are boasting about me. {sniff} I'm so worried.

Narrator: Molly tried to smile but she was sad.

Thomas: Molly, would you like to come out and meet James?

Molly: {cheerfully} Yes, Thomas.

Narrator: So the Fireman lit the fire and made a nice lot of steam. Then the Driver pulled the lever, and Molly puffed away. The others were very cross at being left behind.

{We see Molly puffing in and out of a tunnel with four old coaches.}

Narrator: Molly had a happy day. All the children ran to wave as she went past and she met old friends at all the stations. She worked so that the Driver promised take her out again next day. Meanwhile, Smelter was at the quarry. He saw a rockface represented the sculptures of Diesel 10, Splatter, Dodge and Alfred. Diesel 10, Splatter and Dodge arrived.

Diesel 10: I have a job for Smelter and Splodge.

Smelter: Yes, Diesel 10.

Splatter: No, boss.

Dodge: I refused to help.

Smelter: {crossly} Shut up, Splodge.

Splodge: {groans}

Smelter: {smugly} I've come to find the yellow steam engine.

Splatter: The yellow steam engine?

Dodge: Yeah, she's going to be scrapped. Do we scrap her, Splatter?

Splatter: We always have to keep look for her.

Smelter: When I come, I'm planning to destroy her. Meanwhile, I will do her work.

Splatter: {crossly} A-A-A- d-diesel, Boss?!

Dodge: {crossly} Destroy the yellow puffball?

Diesel 10: Whatever is that destroyed yellow puffball?

Splatter: However long he stays?

Dodge: We will make him unwelcome and...um...

Smelter: SILENCE!!! I want to destroy the steam engines! I'll get rid of this! {laughs evilly as his claw lifted and knocked him in the face} Ow! Stop! I can't!

Splodge: {chuckles}

Narrator: Later that night, Thomas wasn't happy anymore. Thomas was complaining about Smelter's recent arrival on Sodor.

Thomas: Smelter's resting in the sheds with me.

Narrator: Smelter was next to Thomas, cackling. Edward came to the shed. He felt sorry for Thomas.

Thomas: Smelter's trying to destroy and replace Molly. The Fat Controller wants him to work tomorrow.

Narrator: This gave Edward an idea.

Edward: I've got some trucks to take on tomorrow. If you take them instead of me, I'll pull Annie and Clarabel.

Thomas: Thank you. That will be nice.

Smelter: Nice things?! {growls}

Narrator: Next morning Edward and Thomas asked their driver if they could switch jobs for a day. When they said "Yes", Thomas and ran off happily to find trucks. Smelter was very cross and slithered away, sneering. Thomas had lots of fun shunting of his trucks, but the trucks didn't. Smelter hated goods trains. The trucks were being dragged backwards and forwards through the yard all morning! Eventually Thomas and Smelter were ready. When the guard blew his whistle, Thomas and Smelter started off. They slowly moved out of the yard and onto the main line, but the trucks weren't ready.

Troublesome Trucks: Oh! Oh! Oh! Wait, Thomas Wait!

Narrator: But he wouldn't wait. He gave them a rude bump and set off for Edward's Station. Smelter came scuttling along, very slowly, and very crossly with a lot of very dirty old trucks.

Smelter: {grumbling and growling furiously} A goods train! A goods train! A goods train! The shame of it, the shame of it, the shame of station!

Narrator: He went slowly through, with the trucks clattering and banging behind him.

Troublesome Trucks: Oh! Oh! Oh! We can't! We won't!

Smelter: {growls}

Narrator: Thomas clattered through stations and whistled at all of them. He also liked the beautiful country side. Smelter clattered through stations and growled at all of them. Thomas whistled as he rushed through Henry's tunnel. Smelter growled as he rushed through Henry's tunnel. Thomas and Smelter rumbled over the bridge near Gordon's Hill.

Thomas' Driver: Steady, Thomas, Steady!

Narrator: Thomas reached the top. Then the driver began to pin down the brakes, but it broke with a clang, jumping his driver off the footplate.

Thomas: {gasps} Cinders and Ashes! I've broke my brakes. My driver was not there.

Troublesome Trucks: On! On! On!

Narrator: The trucks rushed down the hill. Thomas' driver went for help. Thomas ran away without his driver. He was shocked.

Thomas: Help!

Troublesome Trucks: Chase them! Bump them! Throw them off the rails!

Narrator: Thomas raced through Edward' station. The trucks pushed him on and on. He passed through the junction where Molly was waiting.

Molly: Bubbling Boilers!

Narrator: Thomas rattled straight through and swerved into the goods yard. He raced past Oliver who was taking on water.

Oliver: Be careful! The switches ahead are faulty!

Narrator: But Thomas heard him He came to the broken switches, but instead of going to the other railway, he was diverted onto an old branch line! Bushes, leaves and dirt were everywhere, but Thomas moved on. He came to an old four-space shed. He crashed into the front of the shed. At last, Thomas stopped. It was very quiet.

Thomas: Smelter will back in the shunting yards now. My best friends, Percy, and Stanley, will be wondering where I am. I don't know where I am.

A voice: Hello?

Narrator: Thomas gasped.

Thomas: The voice came from the shed. But there's no train on this line.

Narrator: In the shed was a very old, broken and rusty engine. It was of Ivatt/Gresley hybrid build - a cross between Great Northern Railway Class C1 and LNER Class A1/A3 with a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, a completely cylinder-like boiler, a front dip and a LNER Holden B12-style tender. His British Railway express blue paint had been scratched and his front end and his cab roof were dented. The side of his boiler had been ripped into, creating a hole; his dome was cracked; one of his wheels was bent; one of his front buffers was broken and the other was bent; his headlamp was smashed and his whistle was broken and smashed. He had broken and snapped a side rod and lost two of his drive wheels. Thomas felt scared, then the engine smiled. It was a little, frightened smile, but it made the engine look friendly, kind and gentle, making Thomas less scared.

Old Engine: Hello, Thomas. It's been years.

Narrator: Percy, Stanley, Toby, Molly and Emily came to the old shed.

Thomas: {nervously} H-H-Hello. My name is Thomas.

Old Engines: Hi, my name is Lord.

Stanley: Hello, Lord

Thomas: Lord, these are my friends, Percy, Toby, Stanley, Emily and Molly.

Percy: {nervously} H-H-Hello.

Emily: Why are you here? Where have you been?

Lord: That's a long story. Do you like stories?

Thomas: Yes. The little engines tell us stories all the time.

Lord: Then, I hope you will like mine. I came to Sodor a long time ago. I was one of the first steam engines on Sodor.

{Shows a flashback of Thomas, Edward and Lord working on the Tidmouth, Knapford and Elsbridge Railway.}

Lord: {narrating} I arrived in the 1920's, with Edward. When I arrived, it didn't look at all like home.

Molly: {voice-over} What was Sodor like then?

Lord: {narrating} It was very quiet. I was one of the few engines on Sodor. They called me "God of the Railway" here. I was very happy.

Percy: {voice-over} What happened to you?

Lord: {narrating} {sighs sadly} 62 years later, I rolled too fat and fell off the edge off the cliff. Then, came the loud smashing sounds of them hitting the ravine with a loud crash, I was broken and the manager punished me to stay in the shed for always.

{Cut back to present day.}

Lord: I'm sure I'll never be useful again.

Molly: We've got a problem right now - an engine known as Smelter had heard of you, and wants to scrap you for being famous.

Lord: Oh, no! I'm too useful to be scrapped. I must be kept out of harm's way.

Narrator: Thomas, Percy, Emily, and Molly looked at their sad, new friend. They felt sorry for Lord.

Thomas: Don't worry, Lord. The Fat Controller knows of you. He wouldn't scrap any useful steam engine. We will help you become "God of the Railway" again!

Narrator: Lord smiled the biggest smile he had smiled in a long time.

Lord: Thank you, Thomas. Thank you for looking after me.

Part Three
Narrator: Victor and Kevin of Sodor Steamworks arrived. They took Thomas and Molly to the Sodor Steamworks. In the meantime, a fitter was repairing Thomas and Molly. Thomas had his brakes fixed.

Thomas: {thinking} I hope this goes well.

Narrator: The fitter finished repairing Thomas.

Victor: Okay, Thomas, it's all fixed. But I suggest you move slowly. You might make that wheel come loose.

Narrator: Diesel 10 arrived. He was shocked, much to his fright.

Diesel 10: {growls} So we meet again, Thomas and Victor for the last time.

Victor: Not today, Diesel 10!

Narrator: Diesel 10 slithered away, sneering.

Thomas: Now I've get ready.

Narrator: Just then, Stepney puffed in.

Stepney: Thomas, Smelter is planning to destroy Molly. We have to stop his plans.

Thomas: You're right, Stepney.

Narrator: Also just then, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

Sir Topham Hatt: Tomorrow, there is one thing that I want is Really Useful Engines.

Narrator: Later, Thomas arrived at a level crossing, the gates were closed to trains. On the other side was Emily.

{George the steamroller passes by.}

Thomas: Hurry up George, I'm going to be late.

George: Too bad steamies. I got to pave this road. {his thoughts} I wish I could get rid of these engines.

Emily: George is a bossy boiler, that one.

Thomas: I wish he had never come to Sodor.

Emily: Haven't you heard, Thomas? We're being called to a meeting at Tidmouth Sheds this evening.

Thomas: I've heard about it. {The gates have now opened.} I gotta go now, see ya, Emily.

Emily: Bye then, Thomas.

Narrator: Thomas made good time as he continued his work along the branch line, stopping at each station to pick up and let off passengers. As dusk started to fall, he arrived at his final destination; Ffarquhar station. Thomas pulled into the station, and slowed to a stop. On the road beside the station, Bertie was waiting. The remaining passengers on the train got off Annie and Clarabel, left the platform, and started to board the bus.

Bertie: Hello Thomas. Any news from your branch line?

Thomas: No, not really Bertie, except Sir Topham Hatt has told me, Percy and James that there is to be a meeting at the sheds.

Bertie: Really? What about?

Thomas: I don’t know. But I’ll have to go now to find out. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.

Bertie: Okay. Goodbye Thomas. See you tomorrow.

Narrator: And tooting on his horn, Bertie set off down the road, while Thomas left the station. He traveled to a large railway yard near the sheds. This was where all the coaches were kept. There were many coaches in the yard, large and small. He shunted Annie and Clarabel into the yard.

Thomas: Goodbye, you two. See you tomorrow.

Annie: Goodbye, Thomas.

Clarabel: Don't forget to tell us about the meeting tomorrow.

Thomas: I won't.

{On one of the lines near where Thomas parked Annie and Clarabel, we see Gordon and Spencer shunting four express coaches onto the line.}

Thomas: Hello, Gordon. Did you hear about the meeting we have to go to?

Gordon: Only just. He tried to tell me as I was racing through Edward’s station with the express. He was telling Edward about it, and as he saw me approach the station, he called out to me, trying to get the message to me. But I could barely hear him, and just raced through without stopping, and I caused his top hat to blow off his head. Edward managed to follow me, and tell me the message when I was at the next station. He also told me I was lucky that Sir Topham Hatt managed to find his top hat.

Spencer: Sir Topham Hatt lost his hat.

Duck: Spencer, I'll find his top hat.

Narrator: Duck puffed away with Spencer.

Spencer: Come on, Duck. Let's go and find his top hat.

Narrator: Later, Thomas puffed into the shed with a flatbed of parts for Lord.

Lord: Thomas found my parts, and now I'm with Lady.

Thomas: Lord, you will have your parts fixed.

Narrator: Workmen were fixing Lord. His front end and his cab roof were mended. The side of his boiler was taped. They straightened one of his wheels and his buffers. They fixed one of his front buffers, whistle and headlamp. Lord had fixed a side rod and gained two of new purple drive wheels. Workmen removed his funnel, dome and cab.

Thomas: You're fixed now.

Stepney: Well done, Thomas.

Lord: You're welcome.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Smelter and Diesel 10 were planning to destroy steam engines.

Diesel 10: When the yellow puffball comes, I'll destroy her.

Donald and Douglas: Wait, Diesel 10.

'''Diesel 10: Donald and Douglas, why are ye here?

Donald: Because I'm a very busy engine.

Douglas: Me too.

Diesel 10: You two are going to be scrapped.

Smelter: I'll scrap both of you.

Narrator: Duck and Oliver were busy shunting trucks with new parts for Lord.

Duck: We're going to help Lord.

Oliver: He's going to be really useful.

Narrator: Diesel came into the siding.

Diesel: Smelter will scrap every engine on Sodor.

Stepney: Diesel, you're going to tell lies.

James: Wobbly wheels!

Thomas: Puffy pistons!

James: Thomas, I should collect Sir Topham Hatt!

Gordon: James is right, little Thomas. Collecting Sir Topham Hatt is an important job. Important is big. James is a big engine. You, Thomas, are small. Small, small, small. Teeny, weeny, weeny. And I am a big blue engine who knows everything!

Thomas: Bossy sprockets! All that steam has gone to your funnel!

''{On "funnel!", he backs up to the trucks. Splatter and Dodge are giggling and chattering.}''

Toby: {the engines discuss about how to stop Diesel 10} What's important is to stand up on our own wheels to Smelter.

Henry: Toby's right. Smelter knows that the lost engine in the legend really exists.

James: What Engine?

Percy: What Legend?

Henry: Of an engine whose magic makes him more powerful than Smelter will ever be, that's why he wants to find him. Percy: Then we'd better find him first. James: {comes out of the shed} Leave it to the big engines, Percy.

Thomas: Little Engines can do big things, especially when they have nice blue paint like me.

Splatter: Hey hey! Just watch what happens to that blue puffball -

Dodge: - when Harold the "flopper-chopper" flies past here!

Splatter: Right!

Harold: Routine fly-by, chaps! Hello!

Splatter: The boss dumped sneezing powder everywhere!

Dodge: Let's start laughing now!

{Splodge laugh as Harold descends, causing Thomas, Splatter and Dodge to be covered in powder}

Harold: Sorry, fellas! Bit of a dust up! Love to stay and clean up. Got to go! Bye now!

Splatter: Uh, did you mean to look like that?

Dodge: Uh, no.

Splatter: Uh, neither did I.

Thomas: {puffing away} This must be Smelter's doing. Ah-choo-choo.

Narrator: At the office, Sir Topham Hatt was telephoning what happened.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas caused an accident. He broke his brakes when pulling heavy goods train up the hill. He crashed through the four-space shed. Thomas is supposed to be at Sodor Steamworks. I'll send another engine who take his place while he's away.

Narrator: Later at the docks where Edward, Gordon and Henry, Sir Topham Hat brought a new tank engine. He looked like Thomas, only he was orange with yellow lining, and black footplate.

Sir Topham Hatt: Here is Georgo, the E2 Tank Engine, who has comes to help while Thomas is away.

Henry: Please, Sir. Will Thomas be come back soon?

Sir Topham Hatt: That demands. Meanwhile, however long he stays, I hope you all will make him welcome and comfortable.

Henry: Yes, Sir.

Edward: Please, Sir.

Gordon: We'll try, Sir.

Sir Topham Hatt: Good! Run along now and show him the shed. He will want a rest after his journey.

{Georgo, Edward, Gordon and Henry puffs away to Tidmouth Shed.}

Part Four
Narrator: Georgo was hard to please with himself. He was in the shed with Edward, Gordon and Henry.

Georgo: This is dreadfully clean! I'm highly-sprung, and anything clean is bad for my services.

Narrator: Thomas arrived. He saw Georgo in the shed.

Thomas: Hello, Georgo.

Georgo: Thomas, why are you not at Sodor Steamworks?

Thomas: {crossly} Because my brakes are fixed. I have my driver now.

Georgo: {unhappily} You are fixed.

Thomas: {happily} Yes, I am.

Georgo: But why?

Thomas: Because I must find and mixed Lord. He will be restored.

Narrator: Thomas puffed away to find Lord. He arrived at the same old branch line.

Thomas: Lord, you are already fixed.

Lord: I can't move.

Thomas: Why you can't move?

Narrator: Smelter came into the shed.

Smelter: Hello, puffballs!

{Smelter lifts his claw and crushes the shed.}

Thomas: Run, Lord. Smelter will destory.

Narrator: Lord started to move. He pumped his pistons, his wheels spun and his boiler burst. But his tender coupling snapped, and his gear jammed in the sleepers. Lord puffed away from Smelter, leaving his tender behind.

Lord: Oh!!! No!!!!

Narrator: Lord failed to puff. His tender was missing, and his cylinders was broken, coming off and losing his valve gear. Smelter was pleased with himself. His claw tried to reach Lord.

Smelter: Lord is a heap of scarp to the smelters yard!

Thomas: You'll never scarp Lord, Smelter.

Smelter: {snapping his claw} You're not clever to stop me!

Thomas: Yes, we are.

Smelter: No, you're not!

Narrator: Duck and Oliver arrived. They carried some sugar wagons.

{Smelter screams in terror, and growls.}

Smelter: Make your lives, and don't like it tomorrow. Neither did I.

Narrator: Smelter ran away, snapping his claw.

Thomas: Lord, what happened?

Lord: I don't know, Thomas. I've lost all of my puff.

Duck: Losing your puff?

Lord: I need some coal. You'll fix me later.

Narrator: Later that night, in the shed, Thomas and Stanley were talking about Lord.

Thomas: Lord is an very old engine. He can't puff.

Stanley: He is missing his tender and cylinders. He can't puff at all.

Thomas: Shall we fix Lord?

Stanley: No, Thomas. We shall help bring Lord to the Sodor Steamwork. He'll be a magical engine again.

Narrator: Stanley smiled at Thomas. Duck, Stepney and Oliver were upset.

James: Thomas, Lord will be fixed.

Duck: He can't puff properly.

Oliver: He'll must be restored.

Stepney: He'll be a legendary engine like Lady.

Narrator: Sir Topham Hatt arrived. He was very cross.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, you are a very disobedient engine. You've caused confusion and delay.

Stepney: Thomas is not a disobedient engine. He's a really useful engine.

Sir Topham Hatt: Gerogo is supposed to take your place where you're away.

Duck: Thomas is already fixed.

Thomas: Please, Sir. I'm mended.

Sir Topham Hatt: Thomas, your goods train is missing. You must go to find your goods train. It's at the old branch line. Find it at once by order.

Narrator: The Fat Controller's voice boomed out over the railway. Thomas might find the missing trucks.

Oliver: Thomas has left us behind.

Duck: We'll find him.

James:' The trucks are missing.

Narrator: Thomas arrived at the same old branch line where Lord had lost his tender, valve gear and cylinders.

Lord: My cylinders, valve gear and tender are missing.

Thomas: Your tender is behind you.

Narrator: Thomas coupled to a flatbeds, sugar wagons and Lord's tender. The workmen put Lord's cylinders and valve gears on the flatbed. They were tied up.

Thomas' Driver: Come on, Thomas. Let's go.

Narrator: Thomas puffed away with a flatbed, sugar wagons and Lord's tender. He arrived at the Sodor Steamworks, where Victor and Kevin were waiting.

Thomas: Victor, I brought you Lord's cylinders, valve gears and tender.

Victor: Well done, Thomas. {Kevin bumps the flatbed off the rails} Kevin!

Kevin: Sorry, boss!

Victor: Thomas, his cylinders, valve gears and tender are at the safe place. Lord is waiting to go.

Whiff: Thomas, would you help me?

Thomas: No thank you, Whiff.

Narrator: Thomas had to take some empty trucks to the coaling plant. They were filled with coal. Then he took them to the slate quarry. Mavis was there.

Mavis: Thomas, why are you taking some supplies to Lord.

Thomas: Because Lord is an legendary engine.

Mavis: You want to do?

Thomas: Yes.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Diesel 10 found Thomas' goods train from the old branchline. He back up, was coupled up, pulled away, and left Thomas' first truck behind. It was coupled up to Lord. Diesel 10 was pulling Thomas' heavy goods train.

Trucks: Hurrah! Hurrah! We've broke away! We've broke away! Chase him! Bump him! Throw him off the rails!

Narrator: James, Duck, Oliver and Stepney puffed through the stations. Diesel 10 was chasing them. He lifted his claw opened, and tried to grab them. They raced through the station where Gordon was pulling the big Express. Diesel 10 nearly grabbed both engines. He snapped his claw, blew his horn and went down on the wrong track. He stopped at the end of buffers. Diesel 10 wanted to go that way, backed up and chased them. Molly felt surprised. She could see Diesel 10 chasing James, Duck, Oliver and Stepney. She puffed away.

Diesel 10: I'm taking Thomas' trucks to the Smelter's yard.

Molly: Stop it, Diesel 10.

Narrator: Diesel 10 was furious. He was blocked by Gordon and Henry. The Fat Controller came to Diesel 10, very cross.

Sir Topham Hatt: Diesel 10, you've caused confusion and delay. I'm not impressed with you. I'll send you back to the Other Railway, and gave Thomas back his trucks at once.

Diesel 10: I'll destroy yellow and blue puffball.

Narrator: A few days later, Thomas and Percy arrived to see Lord. He had his cylinders, valve gear and tender missing.

Lord: My parts were falling apart. I'm old and rusty. I want to be restored.

Percy: You're "God of the Railway".

Thomas: You're right. Let's go and ask the Star Engines.

Narrator: Thomas and Percy puffed away to find the Star Engines. They arrived at the Bigg City Railway.

Ten Cents: {whistling} Oh, Thomas are you right?

Thomas: Yes Ten Cents, but sometimes everything happens at once, I have to see Captain Star to get my orders right away. The journey from Sodor keeps getting bumper and bumper.

Ten Cents: Does it? {Thomas blows his whistle} Smelter is back Thomas. You better be careful.

Thomas: Captain Star warned me about Smelter. Don't worry Ten Cents. I'll just pop in and out with my sparkle and whereever he goes and keep him in order. I hope.

Sunshine: Percy.

Percy: Sunshine, are you my friend?

Sunshine: Yes, Percy.

Narrator: Thomas forgot Lord. He would take him to the Sodor Steamworks.

Ten Cents: Sunshine, go and find new parts for Lord.

Top Hat: New parts? Pah! I'm an express engine.

Big Mac: I can pull heavy goods train. I'm helping the other engines.

OJ: I'm old and helpful.

Warrior: I bump into trucks.

Grampus: I will help on the flatbed.

Hercules: Thomas and Percy, my dears. Will you help the other engines find Lord?

Thomas and Percy: Yes, Hercules.

Narrator: Thomas, Percy and the Star Engines agree. They puffed away to tell the other engines.

Part Five
Narrator: Meanwhile Smelter had to scare and destroy the engines. Gordon found Duck being attacked by Smelter. Edward and Smelter were arguing. Oliver comes across Bill being menaced by Smelter. Smelter and Diesel were arguing. Smelter chasing Stepney by James' surprise. Smelter was chasing Henry. Smelter was chasing Ben to Toby's surprise. Smelter was menacing Stepney. Stepney came across Smelter menacing Duck. Duck, Stepney and James saw Smelter and Diesel 10 planning something.

Smelter: We are planning to destroy steam engines.

Diesel 10: Yes, we are!

Narrator: Diesel 10 still had Thomas' trucks. One of the trucks' brakes were on. Eagle puffed in and whistled loudly.

Eagle: I'll distract Diesel 10.

Diesel 10: It's an old rust bucket. Destroy and smash him.

Narrator: Eagle puffed away. Diesel 10 tried to chase Eagle, but the trucks wouldn't move. He pulled them so hard that the brakes came off. The trucks pushed Diesel 10 off the rails. He crashed into the shed. He roared in fury, blew his horn loudly and snapped his claw.

Eagle: Good show.

Smelter: I will plan to destroy the steam engine.

Diesel 10: Get me out of here!

Narrator: Diesel 10 and Smelter were in disgrace. Luckily, Thomas, Percy, and the Star Engines. Grampus was on the flatbed, pulled by Sunshine.

Eagle: How did you get there?

Thomas: We come to help you...

Percy: ...bring Lord to Sodor Steamworks to be mended and rebuilt.

Molly: Thomas! I'm glad to see you!

Duck: Lord will be restored.

Diesel: What! That's not oily!

Top Hat: Diesel, you are not telling lies.

Oliver: Lord's a legendary engine.

Big Mac: Lord will be a really useful engine.

Warrior: Really reliable and useful.

OJ: Really old-fashioned like me.

Hercules: Really gentlemanly.

Narrator: This was very good news for Sir Topham Hatt's engines and Star Engines, but very bad news for Smelter, Diesel 10, Splatter and Dodge. The diesels immediately started thinking of ways to get rid of steam engines. Thomas later arrived at the same branch line where Lord was waiting.

Thomas: Lord, you have you parts fixed.

Lord: Thank you, Thomas. But my cylinders, valve gears and tender are missing. I will still be restored.

Ten Cents: I'll help you fixed.

Thomas: Ten Cents, you are helping Lord restored.

Sunshine: I will help you with a coal truck for your tender.

Narrator: Sunshine shunted Thomas' first truck onto Lord's back end. He was coupled up. His tender was replaced with Gordon's old eight-wheel tender. Ten Cents helped Lord with cylinders and valve gear. They were replaced by Gordon's old three cylinder conjugated valve gear.

Lord: I like Gordon's old three cylinder conjugated valve gear.

Thomas: Duck and Oliver will come and help out tomorrow.

Lord: I remember the Fat Controller will restore me.

Thomas: Lord, you will have your parts fixed and mended.

Narrator: Lord smiled and said "thank you" for Thomas. Meanwhile, Diesel, 'Arry and Bert were at the Smelters' Yard.

Diesel: Lord is a heap of scrap.

Arry: We shall scrap him.

Bert: We shall cancel the railway.

Splatter: Dodge, I think we shall scrap Lord.

Dodge: I think you're right, Splatter.

Narrator: Big Mac and Warrior were pulling some trucks and flatbeds of new parts for Lord. They, Gordon and Henry worked together. Top Hat was pulling Frank and Eddie. He and James worked together. OJ was taking red coaches to the branch line to be restored. He and Toby worked together. Hercules was taking new parts for Lord. He and Edward worked together. Harvey was clearing some branches from the rails. Rocky was lifting the old shed and Marty took it to Sodor Steamworks. Emily, Molly, Donald and Douglas were ploughing a lot of branches, leafs and vines off the rails, and dump them into the sea. Rocky was settled the old sign by the rails. Workmen repaired the sheds and sign. The sign said "Legend Branchline". Molly was very happy. Instead of being boasted, she was forgave.

Sunshine: Molly, you're very happy.

Molly: Yeah! {sniff} I shall leave now.

Narrator: Suddenly, Lady puffed in. She was happy to see her new friend, Lord. Rosie was very happy too. to see Thomas.

Lady: You did a great job, Rosie.

Rosie: Thank you, Lady.

Lady: Rosie, can we help Lord?

Rosie: Yes.

Narrator: Later that evening Lord and Lady were resting the shed.

Lord: Lady, I'm glad to see you.

Lady: Thanks, Lord.

Narrator:

Part Six
Narrator: As the sound of Lord's magic echoed through the night, the engines on Sodor had him very much in their thoughts.

''{Percy puffs through the night pulling mail and milk and stops at Knapford Station next to Thomas. Smelter snickers in a nearby shed.}''

Smelter: {cackles evilly}

Percy: Molly, I was thinking. How does Lord travel place to place?

Thomas: By gold dust.

Percy: Maybe if he's a lost engine, maybe there's a lost railway, his own railway!

Thomas: The journey gets bumpier and bumpier as Stepney told me.

Percy: He talked about buffers in his sleep last night! Buffers are the end of a railway. I think that's how Lord travels here, on a secret railway.

{Smelter leaves his shed slowly and quietly.}

Thomas: Belonging to Lord! Percy, you are very clever. Oh, my wheels are suddenly getting very wobbly. I think Smelter is near!

{Toby stops next to Molly and Percy.}

Toby: I'm sorry, you two. Smelter heard everything you said. I'm going after him to see what he does next. You'd better carry on and get the mail delivered.

Percy: You're very brave, Toby.

Toby: Diesel 10 won't bother with old engine like me. He thinks I'm really useless.

{Diesel 10 is running through the scrap yard.}

Diesel 10: {spoken} I’ve been working on the railway, all the livelong day. {laughs; spoken} Who wants to do that anyway?

{Toby hides behind a pile of scrap.}

Toby: There they are.

Diesel 10: Come in! Come in and join the party, Splodge!

Dodge: Hooray! We’re gonna have a party.

Splatter: I love parties.

Dodge: Who’s go the balloons?

Toby: What are they talking about?

Smelter: Correction - join the party that’s over. Just like Twinkle Toe’s magic railway is over.

Diesel 10: Gone, like the lost engine and the buffers that lead us to her.

Splatter: What are you gonna do?

Dodge: That’s a good question.

Diesel 10: It’s time to put Twinkle Toe’s lights out.

Smelter: With a little help.

{George the Steamroller comes by.}

George: Railways are no good. TURN THEM INTO ROADS!

Dodge: What is the plan?

Smelter: Our little buddy, George, is going to flatten and destroy every buffer on the railway after we destroy the lost engine.

{Diesel 10 and Smelter snap their claws in excitement.}

Toby: I've got to delay him. I've got to distract him! Hmm! Hmmm!

{Toby rings his bell loudly.}

Diesel 10: It’s the old teapot! Smash him!

''{Diesel 10 makes his claw accidentally push one of the supports of the shed and Smelter makes his claw accidentally push one of the supports of the shed and it collapse on the villains. Diesel 10 and Smelter's claws break through the roof.}''

Diesel 10: Pinchy, come back here! Don't make me come up there. You I hate it when you do that!

Toby: {puffs away in triumph} Good show!

Splatter: Boss, did you mean to let the roof fall in?

Dodge: All the way in?

Diesel 10: I always mean what I do, you oil bowls!

{Cut to a sunset; Thomas with Annie and Clarabel, and Emily with Martha and Jennifer pass each other by a windmill.}

Narrator: Diesel 10 and Smelter were in a dump but the steam engines were happy and doing well.

Singers: He's a really useful engine, you know. {Thomas pushed some troublesome trucks as Percy pulls a couple of tar wagons} All the other engines, they'll tell you so. {Thomas pulls Annie and Clarabel as Gordon passes them with the express} He huffs and puffs and whistles, rushing to an fro. {Toby pulls Henrietta, Elise Victoria as Henry stops at Edward's Station to let off passengers} He's the really useful engine we adore! {James is mad for pulling coal trucks and one of them is S.C.Ruffey} He's a really useful engine, you know. {Edward pushing a flatcar of pipes out of the scrap yards} Cause the Fat Controller, he told him so. {Thomas pulls Annie and Clarabel as he whistles past Donald and Douglas who are taking on water} Now he's got a branch line to call his very own, {Molly, Neville, Eagle, and Marty are pulling goods and passenger trains, Dennis in a siding} He's the really useful engine we adore! {Thomas, Percy, Stanley, Toby, Emily, and Duck are pulling Annie and Clarabel, the mail, red coaches, Henrietta, Elise and Victoria, Martha and Jennifer, and Alice and Mirabel, respectively at Knapford} He's the one, {Thomas with his coaches as he passes the windmill (just the old TV show opening)} He's the number one, {Thomas goes over the bridge and pass the watermill (just like the old TV show opening)} Thomas the Tank Engine... {Thomas with his coaches puffs under the bridge with children waving like in the old TV show opening} He’s the really useful engine we adore! {Thomas stops at a station similar to the one in the old TV show opening}

''{Rear view of Eagle, Neville, and Gordon. Smelter moves into the frame.}''

Splatter: Uh, so boss...

Dodge: How come you let the blonde escape?

Splatter: Yeah?

Smelter: Oh, I did it on... purpose, y'know. I was... testing her to see if she... could escape.

Splatter and Dodge: Did he mean to say that?

''{Smelter growls at Splatter and Dodge, who shiver. Smelter extends his claw. Splodge retreats. Smelter turns his anger to the oil cans on Neville's flatbed, and crushes several of them in anger like mere beer cans.}''

Smelter: All right! Playtime's over, Splodge!

Splatter and Dodge: Great...

Smelter: {as Cranky lifts oil cans} Now it's time for the next lesson, huh?! I call it "How to Stop Being Stupid".

{Smelter snaps his claw, and Cranky drops the oil cans, spilling oil all over him.}

Danni: {giggles}

Henry and Eagle: {laugh}

Smelter: {now oily mad} Now that's gonna ruin my facial!

Splatter and Dodge: Uh-oh.

Narrator: Over in England, the sun was now starting to set. The sky was changing from being clear blue to a bright orange, as the sun began to slowly sink. In a large office in King’s Cross Station, Sir Topham Hatt was sat at a table, feeling rather bored. His friend, Howard Andrews, was stood up, droning on and on about how he couldn’t persuade his engines to do their work. Sir Topham Hatt wasn’t really listening much, and just looking around the office, which had a desk with a few railway books and a telephone. The desk was in front of the far was, which displayed a map of the region. A window the on the wall on the right showed the bustling platforms of the station. Next to the door entering the office, a hat stand stood, holding Sir Topham's top hat.

Sir Topham Hatt: {annoyed} I’ve already told you, you need to shut your steam engines in their shed.

Mr. Andrews: But, Sir Topham, my diesel engines keep breaking down.

Sir Topham Hatt: Well, then, you need to tell the steam engines that you need them.

Mr. Andrews: But they refuse. They won’t do what I say.

Sir Topham Hatt: {sighing} Well, I’ve tried explaining to you several times, but you won’t take my advice. So I don’t see the point in me trying to help you.

Mr. Andrews: No, Sir Topham! I really need you. I can’t work without you! Please!

Sir Topham Hatt: {hesitant} Okay, but you really need to tell your steam engines that you need them.

Mr. Andrews: But how can I? They won’t do what I say!

Sir Topham Hatt: You’re the controller of the railway. They should do what they’re told.

Mr. Andrews: I keep telling them that! But they don’t seem to care. They think-

Narrator: But before Mr. Andrews could continue, he was interrupted by the telephone which started ringing. He walked to his desk and picked up the receiver on the third ring, his hand trembling.

Mr. Andrews: Hello, King’s Cross Station. {Pauses for response, then takes the receiver from his ear and turns to Sir Topham Hatt.} It’s your wife.

{Sir Topham Hatt stands up, walks to Mr. Andrews, takes the receiver and holds to his ear, while Mr. Andrews sits at the table.}

Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, dear, how are you?

Lady Hatt: I’m fine Topham, but there’s something you should know, it's an emergency.

Sir Topham Hatt: What is it?

Lady Hatt: Your friend, Gerald, was involved in a serious car accident. He’s in hospital, unconscious.

Sir Topham Hatt: Never?! Is he okay?

Lady Hatt: I’ve spoken to the people at the hospital. He has a nasty wound on his head, but he will live. There’s something else too you should know. I’ve received a lot of telephone calls from the people working on the railway. There’s a lot of damage everywhere; destroyed sheds, walls, and even engines having lots of accidents.

Sir Topham Hatt: What’s causing it all?”

Lady Hatt: No one knows. But I think you’d better come back to Sodor. I’ve telephoned Dryaw airfield, and they are going to send Harold to collect you from London airport.

Sir Topham Hatt: Okay, dear, I’ll be ready. See you later. {Puts down telephone.} Sorry, Howard, I’ve got to go. Mr. Andrews: Go?! Where?

Sir Topham Hatt: Strange accidents are happening on my railway. I must investigate and stop it if I can.

Mr. Andrews: No! What about the problems on my railway! I need-

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm sorry, Howard,. You have your own problems on your railway – but I have mine too, which is a lot more serious than yours. I must go. Goodbye.

Narrator: Sir Topham Hatt disappeared out of the door to the office, but not before seizing his top hat off the hat stand and putting it on his head as he left.
