Ringo Starr US version

 * Ringo Starr: Thomas the Tank Engine was ill. Workmen had been trying to make him better, but it was no use.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Edward must take you to the works.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Sir Topham Hatt. Thomas felt very miserable. Then, Sir Topham Hatt spoke to Duck.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: I want you to help Percy and Toby while Thomas is away.
 * Ringo Starr: Duck was delighted. He already knew Percy and soon made friends with Toby and Bertie. Terence the Tractor gave him a big welcome too.
 * Terence: Take care of Thomas' coaches.
 * Ringo Starr: He advised.
 * Terence: He's sure to miss them while he's away.
 * Ringo Starr: Duck was very gentle with the coaches. Annie and Clarabel were impressed.
 * Annie and Clarabel: Such nice manners.
 * Ringo Starr: They told each other.
 * Annie and Clarabel: It really is a pleasure to go out with him.
 * Ringo Starr: When Thomas came back, Annie and Clarabel told him how well Duck had managed. Thomas was so pleased to be home that he soon forgot to be jealous. The works have left Thomas' handbrake very stiff. It made his brakes seen they were on, when in fact they were not. As a result, he and his coaches often overran the platform. Thomas found this most embarrassing. Gradually, his driver and fireman learned to be extra careful. But one day, Thomas' fireman was ill and a relief man took his place. The fireman had fastened the coupling and joined the driver and stationmaster on the platform to wait for Henry's passengers. The fireman had forgot all about Thomas' handbrake. Thomas simmered happily.
 * Thomas: Not long now.
 * Ringo Starr: He thought. As he saw Henry slowly approaching. But Thomas' brakes were not on and suddenly he felt his wheels begin to move. He tried to stop, but he couldn't without his driver and fireman. He tried to whistle a warning, but he couldn't do that either. The Conductor, driver, fireman and passengers were all stranded on the platform.
 * Annie and Clarabel: Stop! Stop!
 * Ringo Starr: Shrieked Annie and Clarabel. But Thomas, with plenty of steam, kept on going. The alarm went down the line.
 * Signalman: Stop the runaway!
 * Ringo Starr: There ready for action was Harold the Helicopter. The inspector had made a plan and together they took off into the sky. At last Thomas was tiring.
 * Thomas: I need to stop, I need to stop.
 * Ringo Starr: He panted wearily. As they neared the next station Thomas saw Harold land. They entered the platform slowly enough for the inspector to act. Judging his moments the inspector scrambled into the cab and screwed the brakes hard on.
 * (The inspector brakes with all his strength)
 * Ringo Starr: At last Thomas stopped. Both he and the inspector were very relieved. Then they thanked Harold.
 * Harold: Think nothing of it.
 * Ringo Starr: Whirred Harold.
 * Harold: Glad to be at service anytime.
 * Inspector: Whew.
 * Ringo Starr: Remarked The inspector.
 * Inspector: We must never let this happen again, Thomas.
 * Ringo Starr: Wearily, Thomas agreed with him.
