00:00The island of Sodor is a wonderful place.

00:05Thomas enjoys puffing all over the island.

00:10There are lots of special places to visit.

00:14Where's this?

00:17That's right, it's the high hills of Sodor.

00:22The high hills of Sodor are home to the narrow gauge engines.

00:28Rusty, Peter Sam, Duncan, Skarloey,

00:33Rheneas, Sir Handel, Mighty Mac and Fearless Freddy.

00:40They're all very good friends and they're all really useful.

00:45It takes a lot of puff to chuff up and down

00:49and sometimes the engines run out of puff.

00:54One day a dinosaur skeleton had been discovered in the hills.

00:59The thin controller had given Rheneas the job of taking it to the transfer yards.

01:05Rheneas wanted to take the dinosaur all by himself.

01:10Rheneas puffed slowly up the steep hill.

01:15But the dinosaur was too heavy.

01:18His puff was going and his pistons could hardly pump.

01:23Rheneas puffed slower and slower.

01:28Then very sadly he rolled back down the hill.

01:35Rheneas wished his friend Skarloey was there to help him.

01:39And then he heard Skarloey's whistle.

01:44Rheneas was very happy.

01:46He knew that together they would have enough puff to climb any hill.

01:53Another day it was Skarloey who had to huff and chuff up a hill.

02:00Skarloey is a brave little engine.

02:03He likes to show off and play games.

02:06But this time he broke the winch on the incline.

02:10The incline was a very steep hill.

02:15Now no trucks could go up or down.

02:19Skarloey felt bad.

02:21The villagers high in the hills needed coal.

02:25He knew there was only one thing to do.

02:28He'd have to collect and deliver the coal himself.

02:33Skarloey chuffed round bend after bend after bend.

02:39The villagers were very pleased to see him.

02:42Now they had coal to make their home snug and warm.

02:49But for one engine the high hills were too much.

02:53And that engine was Sir Handel.

02:57Sir Handel could no longer climb the hills.

03:00But he didn't want to tell anyone.

03:04The thin controller gave Sir Handel a special.

03:08But he had to go up a hill.

03:11Sir Handel started to huff and puff.

03:15Then his pistons popped.

03:17His traction rods rattled.

03:19And his boiler bubbled and bounced.

03:23Sir Handel couldn't go on.

03:26So he had to tell the thin controller all about his problem.

03:32The thin controller had Sir Handel mended in no time.

03:36Now Sir Handel chuffs cheerfully up and down the hills once again.

03:42So that's why the high hills are very special for Sir Handel.

03:50There are so many special places on the island of Sodor.

03:54Next time Thomas will show us somewhere else.
