Very good.

And now, here's the rest of my version:

Toby: His driver examined him carefully.

Edward's Driver: Your value gear has jammed. We need to reach the next station. Do you think you can still get us there?

Edward: I'll try.

Toby: Replied Edward.

Edward did his best.

Edward: If I fail,

Toby: He thought to himself,

Edward: The passengers will be cross and the railway will close.

Toby: Everything blurred. He was really too tired to make another turn of his wheels, but he did, and another, and another, and another.

Finally, tired, but triumphant, Edward reached the station.

Edward: I'm here at last!

Toby: He wheezed.

Passengers: Thank you for getting us home.

Toby: Said the passengers.

Passengers: We'll tell all our friends what a fine railway this is.

Toby: His driver was delighted.

Edward's Driver: You're a gallant old engine.

Toby: He said to Edward.

Edward's Driver: When you're rested, we'll mend you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow.

Toby: And,

Narrator: Smiled Toby,

Toby: Edward always was ready for tomorrow.

James: Thanks for telling us about him.

Narrator: Whispered James.

James: I was wrong. Passengers are important after all.

Narrator: The next day, Edward came home. All the engines were there to greet him. Rheneas pushed his truck to the siding, where he was lifted onto his rails.

This was the signal for a chorus of whistles from engines small and large. Everyone was happy, and Edward was the happiest of them all.

Edward: You know,

Narrator: He whispered to Toby,

Edward: This helps an engine to feel that at last, he has really come home.
