00:00It was an important day in the yard. Everyone was busy and excited, making notes and taking photographs.

00:10A special visitor had arrived and was now the center of attention.

00:16Who is that? whispered Thomas to Duck.

00:23That, said Duck proudly, is a celebrity.

00:26A what? asked Percy.

00:28A celebrity is a very famous engine, replied Duck. Driver says we can talk to him soon.

00:34Oh, said Thomas, he's probably too famous to even notice us.

00:40Just then Gordon arrived.

00:43Ha, said Gordon. Who cares? A lot of fuss about nothing, if you ask me.

00:49And he steamed away.

00:54Later that night, the engines found that the visitor wasn't conceited at all.

00:59He enjoyed talking to the other engines till long after the stars came out.

01:05He left early next morning. Gordon was still complaining.

01:09Good riddance, he grumbled, chattering all night. Who is he anyway?

01:14Duck told you, replied Thomas, he's famous.

01:18As famous as me? Nonsense.

01:21He's famouser than you. He went a hundred miles an hour before you were even thought of.

01:26Ha, so he says, huffed Gordon. But I didn't like his looks.

01:30He's got no dome. Never trust domeless engines. They're not respectable.

01:35I never boast, but I'd say a hundred miles an hour would be easy for me.

01:40Goodbye.

01:43Duck took some freight cars to Edward's station.

01:46Hello, called Edward.

01:48That famous engine came through this morning. He whistled to me. Wasn't he kind?

01:53He's the finest engine in the world, replied Duck.

01:56Then he told Edward what Gordon had said.

01:59Take no notice, soothed Edward. He's just jealous.

02:03He thinks no engine should be famous but him.

02:06Look, he's coming now.

02:09Gordon was running very fast. His wheels pounded the rails.

02:14He did it. I'll do it. He did it. I'll do it.

02:18Gordon's train rocketed past and was gone.

02:22He'll knock himself to bits, chuckled Duck.

02:32Gordon's driver eased him off.

02:34Steady, Gordon. We aren't running a race.

02:38We are then, said Gordon, but he said it to himself.

02:45Suddenly, Gordon began to feel a little strange.

02:48The top of my boiler seems funny, he thought.

02:51It feels as if something is loose. I'd better go slower.

02:55But it was too late.

02:57On the viaduct, they met the wind.

02:59It was a teasing wind which blew suddenly in hard puffs.

03:03Gordon thought it wanted to push him off the bridge.

03:06No, you don't, he said firmly.

03:09But the wind had other ideas.

03:11It curled round his boiler, crept under his loose dome

03:14and lifted it off and away into the valley below.

03:19Gordon was most uncomfortable.

03:22The cold wind was whistling through the hole where his dome should be

03:25and he felt silly without it.

03:31At the big station, the freight cars laughed at him.

03:37Gordon tried to wheesh them away.

03:42But they crowded round no matter what he did.

03:47On the way back to the shed, he wanted his driver to stop and fetch his dome.

03:51We'll never find it now, said the driver.

03:54You'll have to go to the works for a new one.

03:57Gordon was very cross.

04:01I hope the shed is empty tonight, he huffed to himself.

04:09But all the engines were there waiting.

04:16Never trust domeless engines, said a voice from somewhere behind him.

04:21They aren't respectable.

04:30.
