Transcript
Narrator: One morning, Sir Topham Hatt called Gordon and Oliver to Knapford Station. He was going to give them a special job.

Oliver: I wonder what our special job will be, Gordon.

Gordon: Maybe the Queen is coming back to Sodor, and we're to take her around.

Oliver: Or maybe we're going to take hippos to the Animal Park. Oh! I know. We're might get asked to compete in the next Railway Show.

Gordon: I don't think it's any of those things, Oliver.

Sir Topham Hatt: That's right. Gordon and Oliver, I'm sending you two to work on the mainland for a couple days. You'll be working near Digby and Logan's line.

Oliver: Who are Digby and Logan?

Gordon: They're engines who work on the mainland. I met them a couple months ago when I ran away from Sodor.

Sir Topham Hatt: They need some help with their work, so I've decided to send you two.

Oliver: Can Toad come, sir?

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm afraid not. Sorry, Oliver. But Duck will take good care of him until you get back.

Oliver: Alright.

Narrator: Gordon and Oliver were soon on their way to the mainland. They puffed right through Vicarstown Station, and over the bridge to the mainland. At last, they arrived at the junction to Digby and Logan's line.

Digby: Welcome back, Gordon!

Gordon: Hello, Digby. Good to see you again. And it's good to see you too as well, Logan and Green Arrow.

Logan: Hello, Gordon.

Green Arrow: Hello. Who's the green tank engine?

Oliver: My name's Oliver. I'm from Sodor too. I'm a Great Western 14xx class engine.

Logan: Nice to meet you, Oliver.

Digby: Before we start work, I should probably let you two know now that when you two return to Sodor in a few days, you're to bring Georgia with you. She and the other engines on the narrow gauge railway nearby our line have been invited to work on Sodor. They'll be sending one engine at a time.

Gordon: I see. Where's Sir Albert? Isn't he going to give us our jobs?

Sir Albert Thompson: Yes, I am. Hello, Gordon. Nice to see you again. And you must be Oliver, right?

Oliver: That's right, sir.

Sir Albert Thompson: Well, you, Oliver, are to take some trucks from Barrow to Bridlington Goods Yard.

Oliver: Yes, sir.

Sir Albert Thompson: Gordon, I need you to take an express train across the mainland.

Gordon: Of course, sir.

Narrator: So Gordon collected an express from Barrow and puffed across the mainland with his train. Meanwhile, Oliver had picked up the trucks, and made his way to Bridlington Goods Yard. But then, Oliver saw some red flags on the line. He had to stop.

Oliver: What's going on?

Signalman: Sorry, but these points are jammed. I can't switched them back for you. Some workmen are coming to repair them. You'll have to wait until they're fixed.

Oliver: Bother! This is the last thing I need.

Oliver's Driver: Don't worry, Oliver. We'll just have to try and make up for lost time.

Narrator: About 20 minutes later, workmen arrived to repair the jammed points. They worked as quickly as they could to repair the points. Once they were repaired, Oliver hurried off as quickly as he could.

Oliver: I'm going to be very late now.

Narrator: Once Oliver had finished his run, it was very late. He didn't have enough coal to get back to the sheds he and Gordon were staying at. So he pulled into a siding that lead into an old shed.

Oliver's Driver: We'll go phone for help.

(Oliver's driver and fireman leave, and went return shortly)

Oliver's Driver: Gordon will come to bring you more coal tomorrow, Oliver. We'll have to park you in this shed for the night.

Oliver: (Sighs) Okay. If there's no other choice.

Narrator: After Oliver's driver and fireman parked him in the shed and left for the night, Oliver started to feel scared.

Oliver: This shed seems a bit spooky. No! I have to remember how brave I was during my escape to Sodor and when I got lost delivering the mail and found an old house. If I can be brave then, I can be brave now.

Voice #1: Who's talking?

Voice #2: Is somebody else here?

Oliver: Whoa! Who said that?

Voices #1 and 2: We did.

Voice #1: I'm Isabel.

Voice #2: And I'm Dulcie. We'll speak to you again in the morning.

Oliver: Okay. Good night.
