Transcript

00:01Nancy is a guard's daughter.

00:03One day she was working on Skarloey with some polish and a rag.

00:07Skarloey was snoozing happily, but Nancy wanted to talk.

00:11Wake up, lazybones, your brass is filthy, aren't you ashamed?

00:15No, yawned Skarloey, you're just an old fusspot.

00:20And Skarloey closed his eyes.

00:23He was thinking about his friend, Reneas, and all the good times they had shurred together

00:27before Reneas went away to be mended.

00:38Nancy interrupted again.

00:40Don't you want to look nice for when Reneas comes home?

00:43Skarloey wasn't sleepy anymore.

00:45What?

00:46When?

00:47Soon, Daddy told me.

00:48I'm going now, she said.

00:49Nancy, stop!

00:50Do I really look nice?

00:52Please polish me again.

00:54Now who's an old fusspot, laughed Nancy, and set to work once more.

01:02Duncan was jealous.

01:03Aren't you going to polish me too?

01:05Sorry, not today.

01:07I'm going now.

01:08I'm helping the refreshment lady this afternoon.

01:11We must get the Isis ready for the passengers.

01:13Never mind, Duncan, she said.

01:17But Duncan did mind.

01:19It isn't fair, he complained.

01:22Peter Sam gets a special funnel.

01:23Sir Handel gets special wheels.

01:26Passengers get Isis.

01:27But I'm not even polished.

01:30Of course this wasn't true, but Duncan enjoyed complaining.

01:33He became sulkier still.

01:40That afternoon there was bad news from up the line.

01:44One of Skarloey's coaches has come off the rails, called Duncan's driver.

01:49We'll have to take the workman there right away.

01:52All this extra work, grumbled Duncan.

01:54It wears an engine out.

01:56Rubbish.

01:57Come on.

02:06The derailed coach was in the middle of Skarloey's train, so he had gone on to the top station

02:11with his front coaches.

02:15Duncan shunted the work's train into the sidings and left the workman to sort out the mess.

02:21Then he brought the passengers and the rear coaches home.

02:27He sulked all the way.

02:34I get no rest, I get no rest, he muttered.

02:39Duncan made the journey very difficult.

02:43He was short of steam, so his driver waited a while in the hope of raising more.

02:49But Duncan wouldn't try.

02:53We'll keep our passengers waiting, said his driver.

02:56Duncan was gross.

02:58You always think about the passengers and never about me.

03:05It wasn't long before Duncan built up enough steam to set off again.

03:17But he was still very grumpy and cross.

03:21I'm overworked and I won't stand it, Mr. Paul.

03:28At last they reached the viaduct near the station.

03:31Come on, Duncan, cajoled his driver.

03:34One more effort and you'll have a rest and a drink at the station.

03:40Then Duncan was very rude.

03:43Keep your old station.

03:47I'm staying here.

03:49And he did too.

03:52Scar Loey had to haul Duncan and his train all the way to the platform.

04:04The passengers were furious.

04:07They told everyone what a bad railway it was.

04:11That night, the fat controller spoke to Duncan.

04:18No passengers means no polish.

04:22No polish means no passengers, Duncan muttered to himself.

04:26He still has a lot to learn, doesn't he?
