00:16Reach for the speed, reach for the whistle, go where the rail may run.

00:23Reach for the words, reach for the story, follow the rainbow's sign.

00:31To a shining time station, where dreams can come true, waiting there for you.

00:45Mail call!

00:49Anything for me!

00:50Anything for me!

00:51Anything for me!

00:52All right, just a second, kids.

00:54Let's see.

00:55Tanya?

00:56Uh, me?

00:59Aw, Matt?

01:03Look, my PayPal sent me a picture!

01:06Aw, isn't mail wonderful?

01:10You put a letter in a mailbox and someone gives it to your friend a thousand miles away.

01:17Got any mail for me there, Stacy?

01:20Oh my, oh dear, time for me to disappear!

01:27Well, is there any mail for me?

01:29I don't think so, Harry.

01:31No, were you expecting something?

01:33No, not necessarily.

01:36Just thought there might have been.

01:39Thank you.

01:41Oh, something wrong with Harry?

01:45Looked like he was expecting something.

01:47He sure seems sad.

01:49Yeah.

01:50Oh no, I just remembered it's Grandpa's birthday!

01:53Oh, no wonder!

01:55It's Harry's birthday?

01:58I've got an idea.

02:00Why don't we show Harry how much we care about him and throw him a surprise party?

02:06Let's go tell him right now!

02:08Get over here.

02:11The whole point of a surprise party is that the person doesn't know about it until it begins.

02:17We've got to get him some presents.

02:19I know, I'll get him a jump rope.

02:21And I'm going to get him a baseball bat.

02:24Well, I've got another idea.

02:26How about we make him something?

02:29Oh, an original creation.

02:33I don't want anybody to buy a present, but making him something is really special.

02:38It's a little bit of you.

02:40Let me go see if I can buy some supplies.

02:43Where are you going?

02:45We need some music if we're working, right?

02:47Music, right!

02:49Hey, did you guys hear that?

02:51It's Harry's birthday!

02:54We should play a song Harry really likes.

03:00Heads up! Here comes a pickle!

03:07The song is, A Railroader For Me.

03:11Hey, we know that one.

03:19Now I would not marry a blacksmith

03:24He's always in the black

03:29I'd rather marry an engineer

03:34That rolls the throttle back

03:40A railroader, a railroader

03:45A railroader for me

03:50If ever I marry in this wide world

03:55A railroader's bride I'll be

04:00I would not marry a farmer

04:05He's always in the dirt

04:10I'd rather marry an engineer

04:15That wears a striped shirt

04:21A railroader, a railroader

04:26A railroader for me

04:31If ever I marry in this wide world

04:36A railroader's bride I'll be

04:41If ever I marry in this wide world

04:46A railroader's bride I'll be

04:56There! Now all we need is something to put it in.

05:00Say, Stacy, mind if we hear that tune again?

05:03Yikes! Don't let Harry see the presents!

05:07Oh, I'm sorry, Harry. Somebody needs something.

05:11Who needs what?

05:13Oh, Schemer.

05:15Schemer?

05:16Yes, he needs a box of cheese giggles from the storeroom.

05:19I just brought him up some cheese giggles this morning.

05:21Yeah, but he needs another one.

05:23Would you mind going to the storeroom and getting it for him?

05:26I must be getting old.

05:28People keep thinking of jobs for me just to make me feel youthful.

05:36Now we've got to find a box to put all this stuff in.

05:39How about this?

05:40Perfect!

05:43Now let's look for a place to hide it.

05:51Well, it's a relief that's over with.

05:54Mr. Kidnapper, what happened?

05:56You mean to say you didn't hear it?

05:58Hear what?

05:59All that grumbling and fussing on the island of Sodor.

06:03All the grumbling we're hearing is from Harry, but that'll be over soon.

06:07Who's been grumbling and fussing?

06:09It was Gordon and the others.

06:11And they were having... Well, let me blow my whistle and you just listen.

06:20Henry, James and Gordon were miserable.

06:23They had been shut up for several days for being naughty and longed to be let out again.

06:30At last, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.

06:33I hope you are sorry, he said, and understand that every job on the railway is important.

06:38We have a new tank engine called Percy who helps pull coaches,

06:42and Thomas and Edward have worked the main line nicely.

06:45But I will let you out now if you promise to work hard.

06:49Yes, sir, said the three engines, we will.

06:52That's right, but please remember that this no-shunting nonsense must stop.

07:00He then told Percy, Edward and Thomas that they could go and play on the branch line for a few days.

07:09And they ran off happily to find Annie and Clarabel at the junction.

07:14The two coaches were so pleased to see Thomas again.

07:22Edward and Percy played with freight cars.

07:25Stop, stop, stop, screamed the cars as they were pushed into their proper sidings.

07:30But the two engines laughed and went on shunting till the cars were tidily arranged.

07:40Next, Edward took some empty cars to the quarry.

07:43Percy was left alone. He didn't mind that a bit.

07:46He liked watching trains and being cheeky to the other engines.

07:50Hurry, hurry, hurry, he would call and they got very cross.

07:56After a great deal of shunting, Percy was waiting for the signalman to set the switch so that he could get back to the yard.

08:10He was eager to work but was being rather careless and not paying attention.

08:14Edward had warned Percy, be careful on the main line.

08:17Whistle to the signalman, you are there.

08:19But Percy didn't remember to whistle, so the busy signalman forgot him.

08:24Percy waited and waited.

08:26The switch was still against him so he couldn't move.

08:29Then he looked along the main line.

08:31Peep, peep, he whistled in horror for rushing straight towards him was Gordon with the express.

08:42Oh, groaned Gordon, get out of my way.

08:46Percy opened his eyes, Gordon had stopped with Percy's buffers a few inches from his own.

08:57But Percy had begun to move.

08:59I won't stay here, I'll run away, he puffed.

09:02He went straight through Edward's station and was so frightened that he ran right up Gordon's hill without stopping.

09:13After that he was tired but he couldn't stop, he had no driver to shut off steam and apply the brakes.

09:35shut off steam and apply the brakes.

09:37I want to stop, I want to stop, he puffed.

09:45The man in the signal box saw Percy was in trouble, so he kindly set the switch.

09:51Percy puffed wearily onto a nice empty siding, ending in a big bank of earth.

09:58He was too tired now to care where he went.

10:03I want to stop, I want to stop, I have stopped, he puffed thankfully.

10:10Never mind, Percy, said the workmen as they dug him out.

10:14You shall have a drink and some coal and then you'll feel better.

10:18Presently, Gordon arrived.

10:21Well done, Percy, you started so quickly that you stopped a nasty accident.

10:26I'm sorry I was cheeky, said Percy. You were clever to stop.

10:32Then Gordon helped pull Percy out from the bank.

10:39The two engines are now good friends, but Percy is always most careful when he goes on the main line.

10:50So now the other engines are friends with Percy?

10:53Oh yes, they just have to get to know him, that's all.

10:56Oh, you can be friends with my grandpa, all you have to do is get to know him.

11:00You can come to Harry's surprise party.

11:02Oh dear, I don't know, he may not even like me. He's a very private person, isn't he?

11:08I think he's just shy.

11:10That's impossible, grown-ups aren't shy.

11:13Some grown-ups are.

11:15Like who?

11:16Well, I can tell you about this friend of mine who lived alone somewhere for many years.

11:21Then some new folk moved in and it made him very shy indeed.

11:26That sounds like you, Mr. Conductor.

11:29Hi, Mr. Conductor.

11:30Well, gang, we're all set. All we have to do is clean up a little bit.

11:36Comes the word.

11:38And so is goodbye.

11:41Tell Schemer he can carry his own boxes from now on.

11:48I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.

11:50Oh, Harry, that's the second time today you said how old you're getting. You look pretty peppy to me.

11:55I feel fine, but I wouldn't call it peppy.

12:02Come on, do it. There you go. It never hurts to say hello. Hi, Harry.

12:11Hear something? Play it all, boys.

12:17Allow me to introduce myself.

12:25Lord, I am getting old.

12:29First I'm hearing voices.

12:32Now I'm seeing things.

12:36Well, I tried.

12:38Remember what you told us. Keep on trying.

12:41What's that, Mr. Conductor?

12:43It's a present for Thomas to cheer him up. He's been in a lot of trouble lately.

12:48What kind of trouble?

12:50I'll tell you the story.

12:55Thomas the Tank Engine has worked his branch line for many years and knows it very well.

13:03Thomas the Tank Engine

13:22You know just where to stop, Thomas, laughed his driver.

13:26You could almost manage it without me.

13:28Thomas had become conceited. He didn't realize his driver was joking.

13:34Later, he boasted to the others.

13:37Driver says I don't need him now, he told the others.

13:42Don't be so daft, snorted Percy.

13:45I'd never go without my driver, said Toby earnestly. I'd be frightened.

13:50Huh, boasted Thomas. I'm not scared.

13:53You'd never dare.

13:55I would then. You'll see.

13:57The next morning, the firelighter came.

14:00Thomas drowsed comfortably as the warmth spread through his boiler.

14:05Percy and Toby were still asleep.

14:08Thomas suddenly remembered.

14:10Silly stick in the muds, he chuckled.

14:13I'll show them. Driver said I could manage without him.

14:17I'll just go out. Then I'll stop and wheeze.

14:21That'll make them jump.

14:24Thomas thought he was being clever.

14:26Really, he was only moving because the careless cleaner had meddled with his controls.

14:31He soon found his mistake.

14:33He tried to wheeze, but he couldn't.

14:36He tried to stop, but he couldn't.

14:39He just kept rolling along.

14:42He didn't dare look at what was coming next.

14:45There was the stationmaster's house.

14:48The stationmaster was about to have breakfast.

14:52Horrors, cried Thomas, and shut his eyes.

14:56The house rocked.

14:58Broken glass tinkled.

15:00Plaster was everywhere.

15:03Thomas had collected a bush on his travels.

15:05He peered into the room through its leaves.

15:08He couldn't speak.

15:12The stationmaster was furious.

15:15His wife picked up her plate.

15:17You miserable engine, she scolded.

15:19Just look what you've done to our breakfast.

15:21Now I shall have to cook some more.

15:23She banged the door.

15:25More plaster fell.

15:27This time, it fell on Thomas.

15:29Thomas felt depressed.

15:31Workmen propped up the house with strong poles

15:35and laid rails through the garden.

15:40Then the Scottish twin engines, Donald and Douglas, arrived.

15:49Don't bash yourself, Thomas.

15:57We'll soon have you back on the rails, they laughed.

16:12Donald and Douglas, puffing hard,

16:16managed to haul Thomas back to safety.

16:18Bits of fencing, the bush, and a broken window frame

16:23festooned his front, which was badly twisted.

16:26The twins laughed and left him.

16:32Thomas was in disgrace.

16:37There was worse to come.

16:39You're in a lot of trouble, Thomas.

16:42I know, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

16:45Thomas's voice was muffled behind his bush.

16:48You must go to the works and have your front mended.

16:51It will be a long job.

16:53Yes, sir.

16:55Meanwhile, a diesel railcar will do your work.

16:58A diesel, sir?

17:00Thomas spluttered.

17:02Yes, Thomas, diesels always stay in their sheds

17:05till they are wanted.

17:07Diesels never gallivant off to breakfast

17:10in stationmaster's houses.

17:16Does that mean you shouldn't try and do things on your own?

17:20Oh, my word, no.

17:22It just means that there are some things

17:24that no one can do on their own.

17:26Even though they ride the rail,

17:29trains need drivers without fail.

17:33Okay, kids, will you come and help me for a while?

17:36All right. Better go with Stacy.

17:38See ya.

17:40Sure, bye.

17:46A drumroll, please.

17:51Hello, everyone. It is I, Schemer.

17:55I said...

17:57Hello, everyone. It is I, Schemer.

18:07This is just horrific.

18:09Just hunky-dory.

18:11A public place like this, and nobody is even on duty.

18:14Nobody is even here.

18:20Cheese giggles?

18:22Oh, hey, I know. I'll put these in the machine.

18:25It's about time now.

18:30Oh, I love these little things.

18:36Hey, another box of cheese giggles.

18:39Hey, yeah.

18:42That gives me an idea.

18:44I'll put that box of cheese giggles in the machine

18:47along with the potato boom-booms and the corn whammies,

18:50and this one I'll take home.

18:53Yeah. I mean, hey, I paid for them.

18:57Yeah.

19:04Well, now we've got everything.

19:07Not quite. Where's the cake?

19:09That's right. Where's the cake?

19:11I thought you'd never ask.

19:13Take a look down the anything tunnel.

19:16Oh, yeah.

19:38You'll need some flour

19:41Sugar and eggs, too

19:43And some baking powder

19:45A stick of butter, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

19:48You can cook everything

19:50From soup to a steak

19:52But don't be mistaken

19:55Cos there's nothing like baking a cake

19:58Baking a cake

20:00Baking a cake

20:03Baking a cake

20:05Baking a cake

20:07Chocolate or vanilla

20:10Any flavour will do

20:12Mix it all together

20:15Now it's a bowl of goo

20:18You could have made pudding

20:20That you eat till you ache

20:22But whatever you're making

20:25There's nothing like baking a cake

20:28Baking a cake

20:30Baking a cake

20:33Baking a cake

20:35Baking a cake

20:38Best of all is when it's

20:41Out from the oven

20:42You're so proud of yourself

20:45Cos you put all that love in

20:48And it's so exciting

20:50To give it away

20:53When everyone shouts

20:55Happy birthday

20:58Baking a cake

21:00It's a sweet thing to do

21:03Baking a cake

21:05Frosting and candles, too

21:08Baking a cake

21:10Happy birthday

21:13Happy birthday

21:16To you

21:23But where's the cake?

21:30Wow!

21:32Now we'd better hide it

21:34Yeah

21:36I'd better do the dishes

21:40Tanya!

21:42Uh oh!

21:44Tanya

21:45Is that a box of cheese giggles

21:48Or birthday presents?

21:52Cheese giggles

21:54Oh no

21:55I think our friend Schemer was here

21:57While we were gone

21:58And took the box of birthday presents

21:59By mistake

22:01Oh no!

22:02Don't panic

22:03We'll do something

22:04Hey Miss Jones

22:05Oh

22:06Where were you about 10 minutes ago?

22:08I came in here

22:09What happens if a customer came in here looking for change for my arcade?

22:15And what is everybody staring at?

22:19Oh, I thought that this was a carton of cheese giggles.

22:23Turns out to be a box of artsy-craftsy stuff.

22:27Is that Schemer out here?

22:30Listen, mister, the next time you want stuff brought up and downstairs,

22:33you'd better do it yourself.

22:34Oh, excuse me, Harry.

22:36Have you fixed that ticket puncher yet?

22:38Not yet.

22:38Oh, would you mind taking a look at it?

22:40Or should I just have it sent out?

22:42No need to send anything out.

22:44I'll fix it.

22:48Gee whiz.

22:49I do not even know what he's talking about.

22:51I didn't ask him to bring anything up here.

22:53And besides, this is not a carton of cheese giggles.

22:56It's a box of, uh...

22:57Birthday presents.

22:59Birthday presents?

23:00Somebody around here is having a birthday party?

23:02Harry, we're having a surprise party for him.

23:05Those are the presents we made.

23:07Yeah!

23:09I mean, uh...

23:10Oh, I, uh...

23:11I don't like surprise parties much myself.

23:13You kids, uh, go ahead and party without me.

23:16Have you ever been to a surprise party, Schemer?

23:21Kids.

23:24Kids?

23:27Would you like to come to Grandpa's surprise party?

23:31I mean, uh...

23:32Oh, that, of course, would depend on what time it was taking place.

23:35Right now.

23:36Oh, yeah.

23:42Hey, I don't have a present to give him.

23:44This could be very embarrassing for Schemer.

23:46Why don't you give him some nickels for the jukebox?

23:52Nickels?

23:53Coins of the realm?

23:54Moolah?

23:55You want Schemer to give Harry...

24:02Money?

24:03What a great idea, Schemer.

24:05You know how much Harry loves to play the jukebox.

24:08Uh, okay.

24:09Hey, I'll get to listen to the music, too.

24:12So it won't be a total loss.

24:14Okay.

24:15Is everybody ready?

24:17Yeah?

24:17Okay.

24:20Oh, Harry!

24:21Could you come out here for a second, please?

24:25Now what?

24:26Can't a man work in peace?

24:28Well, someone wants to tell you something.

24:31Well, what is it?

24:33Happy birthday!

24:38Well, sir, this is mighty nice.

24:44Yes.

24:46I guess maybe I was a little bit irritable today.

24:51But it's always good to know there are folks who care about you.

24:57So thank you.

24:58Uh...

25:01Oh, there's a mail from Pelican Falls, right on time.

25:08Harry!

25:10Harry?

25:11Huh?

25:12Harry, Harry!

25:13Oh, the whole bundle!

25:16Birthday card!

25:22That was a great party.

25:25The best birthday party I ever had.

25:29But what if he doesn't like me?

25:32Talk about something you both love.

25:36Trains.

25:38Very well.

25:40There I go.

25:43Excuse me.

25:52You for real?

25:53As real as you are.

25:55Was that you I saw before?

25:58Yes.

25:59That's a relief at least.

26:03But what do you do here?

26:05I live here.

26:07Been here since before the Mimosa Limited made their first run.

26:11That's going back a ways.

26:13Oh, I've been round the roundhouse a couple of times.

26:16Started this job the day the president's train went through.

26:19Do you remember that?

26:20Indeed I do.

26:23I was working on the Eastern Division then.

26:26And just imagine, the president of the United States

26:30was going to be riding on the Indian Valley Railroad.

26:34The man himself was on the back platform and he waved.

26:45Just imagine!

26:47I can, I can.

26:49I was on that train too.

26:52You were?

26:53I've been trying to tell you.

26:56I was the Indian Valley Railroad's special conductor.

27:01Every special train that went out,

27:03I was there just to make sure that nothing ever went wrong.

27:08You mean to tell me we were both on the same train and we didn't even know it?

27:13It looks that way.

27:15And you beat that?

27:19I, uh, didn't catch your name.

27:23Mr. Conductor, at your service.

27:26I'm glad you spoke up, Mr. Conductor.

27:30Yep.

27:31Reminds me of a story Big Dan Cunningham told me once.

27:35Swear that's true of course.

27:37Train was moving through a hailstorm.

27:39He said there were hailstones as big as basketballs.

27:43I said no, possibly baseballs, but not basketballs.

27:46But he swore to it.

27:47They were the biggest hailstones he'd ever seen.

27:50Reach for the speed, reach for the whistle, go where the rail may run.

27:57Reach for the words, reach for the story, follow the rainbow sun.

28:05To a shining time station, where dreams can come true, waiting there for you.

28:14So much to see, so far to travel, so much to learn to know.

28:24Friends by your side, folks to hold on to, who knows how far you'll go.

28:32To a shining time station, where dreams can come true.

28:37Your own imagination, waiting there for you.
