01:00There's a place alive with the magic of imagination and all the colors of the rainbow.
01:20There's a place where the heart and mind always play together.
01:28This is big.
01:30Ah, yes indeed.
01:33There's a place to learn from, laugh about and grow with.
01:38I'm wishing.
01:39There's a place that's miles from the everyday, yet so close to home.
01:45There's a place where friends are funny, furry and often four-legged.
01:49There's a very special place just waiting for you.
01:58It's called ABC for Kids.

02:46Duke is the hero of all the engines. This is a story about him. It happened long ago when Peter Sam was called Stuart and Sir Handel, Vulcan. Many people came year after year to see the mountains and the lakes. And most of all, Duke.
03:07He always pulled his train, even on days when he didn't feel well. I mustn't disappoint my friends, he would say.
03:27Every morning he took his passengers up the line and stopped anywhere they wanted.
03:33Beep, beep, he whistled. Please be ready when I come back for you, otherwise we might miss your boat to the mainland and that would never do.
03:44One day, Duke didn't feel well. He was short of steam and glad of a rest. His driver and fireman had just finished clearing his tubes when Stuart bustled in.
04:03Hello, Grand Puff, he teased. Are you short of Puff? Nothing of the sort. This is routine maintenance.
04:11Tell you what, went on Stuart. You're getting old. We must take care of you in case you break down.
04:18Pumpf, boosted Duke. That'll be the day. Duke couldn't stay cross for long. It was a lovely evening. Couldn't be better, couldn't be better, he chunted happily.
04:35They began to climb, but Duke didn't mind. I've plenty of steam, he puffed. We'll be up in a couple of Puffs. But soon, Duke's Puffs changed to Weezer's.
04:51His valves were leaking steam. It's not so easy, it's not so easy, he croaked. But I'll manage.
05:02At last, they reached the station. Duke's driver examined them carefully. Anxious passengers waited for news.
05:11Duke is going to take you to the harbour, but he might be late, said the guard. So two engines are coming to help. You'll still catch your boat.
05:21Falcon buffered up in front. Poor old Grand Puff, what a shame, you've broken down.
05:30Peep, peep, peep, teased Stuart. This is the day. He was coupled on behind.
05:36Are you ready? whistled Falcon.
05:39Yes, I am, replied Stuart. And away they went.
05:51When they reached the next station, the cavalcade split up. Falcon took Duke's passengers to the boat.
06:00Stuart headed Falcon's train with Duke coupled behind.
06:04Fancy me rescuing Grand Puff. This is the day, this is the day, he boasted.
06:11Poor old engine, poor old engine.
06:14But Duke still had plenty of steam left in him. His valves sounded worse than they were.
06:20He and his driver had their own little joke ready.
06:23They waited until they reached the hill.
06:25Now! said his driver. Duke puffed and roared as though he was pushing the whole train's weight before him.
06:35The noise echoed everywhere.
06:38When they reached the last station, everyone cheered.
06:49What happened? asked the boy. They don't usually need two engines.
06:54Well, replied his father. Stuart broke down. Duke had to help him.
06:59Sounds as if he had a hard job too. Duke and his driver's joke had worked.
07:03Fiddlesticks! exclaimed Stuart, and he vanished in a cloud of steam.
07:08Duke wheezed alongside.
07:11Poor old engine, he teased.
07:13It's no good, Stuart. You can't win.
07:33You can't win.
07:35I'm not giver.
07:36You can't win.
07:38It's just too Gutierrez.
07:40I'm a prisoner so if you beat him to theahn.
07:42Something's not going to win.
07:44It's easy.
07:46You've got a job.
07:48It's easy for the rest.
07:50You can't win.
07:52It's easy for the rest.
07:54That's good.
07:56That's easy for you.
07:59I'm out of my hand.
08:00Sir Handel is very proud of his big, sturdy wheels.
08:23They have broad tyres and hold well to the rails, but they are unusual.
08:30One day, the other engines wouldn't stop teasing him.
08:34Look at his steamroller wheels, they joke.
08:38Be quiet, snorted Sir Handel. You're jealous.
08:42Don't worry, soothed Peter Sam. The engines all tease me about my special funnel until they learned how useful it is.
08:49Did you hear that, officer Handel? My wheels are special like Peter Sam's funnel. I can go faster than any of you.
08:56Scarlowy had a plan to make Sir Handel see sense.
09:00With your grand wheels, Sir Handel, said Scarlowy, you're just the engine to tackle George.
09:06Who's George?
09:09That steamroller over there, replied Scarlowy. Listen.
09:13The steamroller was making rude remarks about the engines.
09:23Railways are no good. Turn them into roads. Pull them up. Turn them into roads.
09:28Railways are no good. Turn them into roads. Pull them up. Turn them into roads.
09:32Don't worry, said Sir Handel. Leave them to me. I'll send him packing.
09:40George will soon get a run for his money.
09:45Later that morning, George was at the level crossing.
09:48Sir Handel was standing no-nonsense. And you, I suppose, are George, yes. I've heard of you.
10:01And I've heard of you. You swank around with your steamroller wheels, pretending you're as good as me.
10:08Actually, retorted Sir Handel, I'm better. Goodbye.
10:12Goodbye.
10:18George took no notice. There was barely room to pass.
10:45Sir Handel was crossed. Get out of my way, you great clumsy roadhog.
11:00I don't move for imitation steamrollers, puffed George.
11:04They lumbered along as the insults continued.
11:08Then there was trouble.
11:09Oh, cried Sir Handel.
11:21That was your fault.
11:22No, it wasn't.
11:24It was yours.
11:27Everyone was arguing about who was to blame.
11:29Hello, hello, hello, hello, said a policeman ominously.
11:36And what's going on here?
11:37This made everyone stop arguing.
11:40They set to work, clearing up the mess instead.
11:45Next day, the workmen put up a fence between the road and the railway.
11:49Then, they went away, taking George with them.
11:59Sir Handel thought he had made George go away.
12:01He talked of nothing but steamrollers.
12:14Oh, dear, whispered Skarloey.
12:17He's worse than ever.
12:19I'm sorry my plan was no good.
12:22Never mind, said Rusty.
12:24We'll think of something else.
12:25But they had no need to do that.
12:29Some boys arrived instead.
12:32They pointed to the engine and cried,
12:34Look!
12:35Here's Sir Handel.
12:36He tried to race a steamroller.
12:39But the steamroller nearly beat him.
12:42Sir Handel never mentions steamrollers now.
13:24Nancy is a guard's daughter.
13:52One day she was working on Skarloey with some polish and a rag.
13:57Skarloey was snoozing happily, but Nancy wanted to talk.
14:00Wake up, lazybones!
14:02Your brass is filthy!
14:03Aren't you ashamed?
14:05No, yawn Skarloey.
14:07You're just an old fusspot.
14:09And Skarloey closed his eyes.
14:12He was thinking about his friend, Reneas, and all the good times they had shared together
14:17before Reneas went away to be mended.
14:22Nancy interrupted again.
14:29Don't you want to look nice for when Reneas comes home?
14:32Skarloey wasn't sleepy anymore.
14:34What?
14:35When?
14:36Soon, Daddy told me.
14:37I'm going now, she said.
14:39Nancy, stop!
14:40Do I really look nice?
14:42Please polish me again.
14:44Now who's an old fusspot, laughed Nancy, and set to work once more.
14:51Duncan was jealous.
14:53Aren't you going to polish me too?
14:55Sorry, not today.
14:57I'm going now.
14:58I'm helping the refreshment lady this afternoon.
15:00We must get the ices ready for the passengers.
15:03Never mind, Duncan, she said.
15:07But Duncan did mind.
15:09It isn't fair, he complained.
15:11Peter Sam gets a special funnel.
15:13Sir Handel gets special wheels.
15:15Passengers get ices, but I'm not even polished.
15:19Of course, this wasn't true, but Duncan enjoyed complaining.
15:23He became sulkyer still.
15:30That afternoon, there was bad news from up the line.
15:33One of Skarloey's coaches has come off the rails, called Duncan's driver.
15:38We'll have to take the workman there right away.
15:41All this extra work, grumbled Duncan.
15:44It wears an engine out.
15:46Rubbish!
15:47Come on!
15:55The derailed coach was in the middle of Skarloey's train,
15:59so he had gone on to the top station with his front coaches.
16:05Duncan shunted the works train into the sidings
16:08and left the workman to sort out the mess.
16:11Then, he brought the passengers and the rear coaches home.
16:17He sulked all the way.
16:24I get no rest.
16:25I get no rest, he muttered.
16:30Duncan made the journey very difficult.
16:33He was short of steam, so his driver waited a while
16:36in the hope of raising more.
16:38But Duncan wouldn't try.
16:43We'll keep our passengers waiting, said his driver.
16:46Duncan was cross.
16:48You always think about the passengers and never about me.
16:51It wasn't long before Duncan built up enough steam to set off again.
17:10But he was still very grumpy and cross.
17:12I'm overworked and I won't stand it.
17:18At last, they reached the viaduct near the station.
17:22Come on, Duncan, pejoles his driver.
17:24One more effort and you'll have a rest and a drink at the station.
17:31Then, Duncan was very rude.
17:33Keep your old station.
17:34I'm staying here.
17:35And he did too.
17:36Scar Lowy had to hold Duncan and his train all the way to the platform.
17:48The passengers were furious.
17:58They told everyone what a bad railway it was.
18:04That night, the Fat Controller spoke to Duncan.
18:07No passengers means no polish.
18:12No polish means no passengers, Duncan muttered to himself.
18:16He still has a lot to learn, doesn't he?
18:18Doesn't he?
19:18In springtime, Rusty loves to visit a faraway place.
19:28It's filled with bluebells.
19:31The air smells sweet and Rusty thinks there is no better place to be.
19:37One day, Thomas was passing by just as Rusty was having a drink.
19:42Beep, beep, good morning, whistled Thomas.
19:44Your driver looks a little worried. I wonder why.
19:48I don't know, said Rusty, but I soon will.
19:52Excuse me, said Rusty, but is something wrong?
19:56Yes, indeed, replied the driver. They need another engine to help run this special line.
20:02A bluebell engine, laughed Rusty.
20:05Maybe I can find one.
20:06Later, Rusty saw Douglas and Percy. Rusty had an idea.
20:13Can you help me find another engine?
20:17Where?
20:18Where you found Oliver? You mean, on the other railway?
20:22Yes, I'm looking for a bluebell engine, said Rusty, and explained everything.
20:29I'd like to help, but these days it's only diesels that go there.
20:33Then Rusty decided, so that's where I'll go.
20:37Take care, warned Douglas.
20:41Rusty told the driver all about the plan.
20:47And that night, he came back to the shed.
20:49The manager says he'll make a home for a bluebell engine if you find one.
20:53Right, said Rusty. We'll find one tomorrow.
21:01It took them all of the next day to travel to the other railway.
21:11Darkness fell and the cold wind blew.
21:15Ooh, what's that?
21:23murmured Rusty.
21:24But it was only the sounds of the lonely scrapyard.
21:28Diesels, silent and still, lined up on guard.
21:33Who are you?
21:36Rusty plucked up courage.
21:38I'm a shed and sidings inspection, Diesel.
21:40Have you any engines in the shed?
21:43No, no.
21:45Rusty rallied again.
21:47Then, er, what about the sidings?
21:50One.
21:51We have one.
21:54Rusty grew braver still.
21:56Then I'll just go and inspect.
22:03A small engine with a tall funnel stood sad and alone in the shadowy siding.
22:08His driver was huddled in the cab, keeping him company.
22:11Excuse me, said Rusty.
22:15Do you like bluebells?
22:18The engine looked startled.
22:19Yes?
22:21Yes?
22:21Bluebells are beautiful?
22:23Then you're soon going to see lots of them because I'm getting you out of here.
22:28Everyone worked fast.
22:31It was difficult to set the fire, but soon it was glowing hot and Stepney had a good head of steam.
22:40Rusty's engineer agreed to be Stepney's fireman.
22:43So off they said, past the bleak and brooding line of diesels.
22:49Where is he going, they hissed.
22:53Just down the line, replied Rusty.
22:55And they chuffed him quickly away.
22:59We've done it.
23:04We're over the border and back on our own railway.
23:07Mission accomplished.
23:11When Rusty and the engine arrived in the valley, a big welcome awaited them.
23:16We shall mend you and give you a new coat of paint, said the manager.
23:21His driver was delighted.
23:24You lucky old engine.
23:26You've been saved by the Bluebell Railway.
23:28And my friend Rusty, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Rusty.
23:35Now the little engine is as happy as can be and helps all the passengers who visit at Bluebell time.
23:42His name is Stepney, but everyone calls him a Bluebell engine.
24:12And I'll drive some quite fast throughout the day, I'm my son right here in a new .
24:13No um .
24:19I know it's art enough.
24:21I can get it together, its画 landscape will be done.
24:24Entreads arehl sites and maybe Scanied pretend.
24:27Bag label flag have been exposed in Pasadena than sports ćeotr join generalода.
24:31Many, our new city goals have been done on theاهah for money and the rest of the days of Stlyn and New York TV.
24:35If I'm pretty rimanche Pat, I won't fight with any Norahs.
24:39My selection is actually represented, please.
24:41Thomas the Tank Engine was feeling very happy, his blue coat shone in the sun, he was right
24:59on time and all around his branch line the countryside seemed prettier than ever before.
25:09Beep! Beep! Good morning, Percy, he whistled. My branch line is the pride of the line, wouldn't
25:17you agree? Er, yes, Thomas, of course, but... But not Percy, out with it. Well, there is
25:25another engine with a famous branch line too. Who? Where? exclaimed Thomas anxiously. His
25:32name's Stepney. He's far away, but the Fat Controller says he may visit us. When? Oh,
25:39one day, Percy hurried away. Meanwhile, Stepney was puffing purposefully along his line. It
25:48runs through fields and forests, but isn't very long, which made him feel a little sad.
25:55Later he saw Rusty. The little diesel had helped save Stepney from scrap. Everyone's been so
26:00kind, but my railway is so short and I do miss a good long run. I think you should tell driver
26:06too, replied Rusty. I'm sure he'll understand. Stepney soon discovered that indeed he did.
26:15Do you know, Stepney? I feel just the same way. That evening, Stepney's driver had exciting
26:22news. Guess what, Stepney? The Fat Controller has invited us to visit the other engines on
26:28his railway. Manager agreed. It'll be a really long run to get there. Oh, thank you, sighed
26:34Stepney. They set off next morning. By now, all the other engines were talking about Stepney.
26:43He runs a famous branch line. Did you know that? Said Percy. Thomas was feeling a little jealous.
26:49Huh! It may be famous, but my branch is first on the line. Everyone knows that, too.
26:56And he huffed away to fetch his coaches.
27:00Look! squeaked Percy. Why have they all come? There is no train yet.
27:08But Percy was wrong. The signal dropped and from far away an engine whistled.
27:14Here he comes! Yelled Douglas. Stepney puffed proudly through the junction. All the engines
27:25were pleased to see him. I hope you'll meet Thomas, too, said Edward. You both have branch
27:31lines to be proud of. Then Stepney set off to help duck shunt coaches in the yard, and
27:38they worked happily together all afternoon. At last, Thomas arrived. Sorry, can't talk.
27:47It's time for my last branch line train. Mustn't be late. He was hardly out of sight when
27:59the engines heard shouting at the station. Moments later came the alarm. Stop all trains! The signal
28:06man pounced at the telephone. A special, is it? I see. Thomas was impatient. Why are we
28:13waiting? My passengers are being delayed. Sorry, Thomas, said his driver. We're being
28:18shunted to allow another train to pass. Soon they heard an unfamiliar puffing sound. There
28:28was Stepney with headlamps swaying and whistle blowing. He gathered speed and disappeared.
28:35Well, bust my boiler, said Thomas the Tank Engine. Next morning, Thomas was still fuming, shunted,
28:44and on my own branch too. It's a disgrace. I'm sorry, said Stepney. I was a special. Why? An important
28:56passenger arrived just as you left. He ordered a special train and duck let me take it. We
29:01had a splendid run, but... But, finished Thomas kindly, it can make an engine nervous not to
29:07know the line. Exactly, said Stepney. You're such an expert. This made Thomas feel much better.
29:16He couldn't be cross anymore and instead began telling Stepney all about his branch mine.
29:22.
29:36.
29:37.
29:42.
29:43.
29:45.
30:20Gordon, the big engine, and Thomas, the tank engine, puffed buffer to buffer back home.
30:30It had been a busy day.
30:32First, Thomas had teased Gordon about the time that the big engine had slid into a ditch.
30:39Then Thomas fell down a mine, and Gordon came to his rescue.
30:44Remember, Thomas, called Gordon grandly, united we stand, together we fall.
30:50You help me, and I'll help you.
30:53I'll remember, replied Thomas, but I hope the Fat Controller forgives us soon.
30:59Suddenly, they noticed something.
31:01As the two engines whistled into the sheds, everywhere they looked, they saw paint pots and painters.
31:06Bus by buffers, said Thomas.
31:08What's happening?
31:09Shh, whispered Percy.
31:11The Fat Controller is going to tell us now.
31:15Ladies, gentlemen, and engines.
31:19I am honoured to inform you that Her Majesty the Queen herself is coming here to visit us.
31:25Now, on with the preparations.
31:28The engines wondered who would pull the royal train.
31:31I am too old to pull important trains, said Edward sadly.
31:35I am in disgrace, sighed Gordon gloomily.
31:39He will choose me, of course, boasted James.
31:42You, snorted Henry, you can't climb hills.
31:47He will ask me to pull the train, and I will have a new coat of paint.
31:51Then, the rain came.
31:59Henry's driver and fireman covered up their cab to keep dry.
32:03A painter was on the ladder above the line.
32:06Henry's smoke flew high into the air.
32:09The painter couldn't see.
32:11Both he and the paint pot fell all over Henry.
32:18Poor Henry.
32:19Well, you're not a pretty picture, sneered the painter.
32:25The Fat Controller spoke next.
32:28You look like an ice cake, Henry.
32:31That won't do for the royal train.
32:33I must make other arrangements.
32:40Gordon and Thomas were waiting for him.
32:43Please, sir.
32:44One at a time, replied the Fat Controller.
32:46Yes, Gordon?
32:47May Thomas have his branch line again?
32:51Hmm.
32:53I think you are both very sorry and deserve a treat.
32:57Edward will go in front to clear the line.
32:59Thomas will look after the coaches.
33:01And Gordon will pull the train.
33:03The great day came.
33:08All the engines were a car bringing people to the town.
33:16Thomas sorted out their coaches in the yard.
33:19Edward steamed in.
33:37Edward steamed in.
33:41The Queen's train glided into the station.
33:54The Queen's train glided into the station.
33:56Gordon was spotless and his bras shone brightly.
33:59The Fat Controller stood to attention.
34:11Welcome, Mum.
34:13The Queen thanked them for a splendid run and asked to see all the engines.
34:17Beep, beep, beep, whistled Toby and Percy.
34:21Shh, hissed Henry and James.
34:24But Toby and Percy didn't care.
34:26Three cheers for the Queen.
34:28Beep, beep, whistled the engines.
34:31When it was time to leave, the Queen spoke specially to Thomas, who fetched her coaches.
34:39Then to Edward.
34:42And finally to Gordon, who took her away.
34:46No engines ever felt prouder than those on the Fat Controller's Railway.
35:01The Queen's train glided in.
35:25The Queen's train glided into the station.
35:28I don't know.
35:58Some troublesome trucks tricked him, and the great western engine fell into the turntable well.
36:08Now Oliver was as good as new, but he was still worried about trucks.
36:13I'd rather not use them, he puffed to himself.
36:18But the trucks sang songs, rude and loud. Scruffy, their leader, led the chorus.
36:27Oliver's no use at all, thinks he's very clever. Says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever.
36:35When the yacht is up surpassed, when the great is folly, we just push him down the well.
36:42Off goes old darling.
36:44Thomas, Duck and Percy were shocked. Be quiet, they ordered.
36:49But they couldn't be everywhere, and everywhere they weren't, the trucks began again.
36:54Oh, there's no use at all, thinks he's very clever. Says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever.
37:02At last, the engines gave up.
37:10We're sorry Oliver, they said.
37:12It's really my fault, said Oliver sadly.
37:14I shouldn't have fallen in the turntable well.
37:17Toad, the brake fat, felt sorry for Oliver too.
37:24Next morning, he spoke to Douglas.
37:27I'm worried, Mr. Douglas. This disrespect for engines, where's it going to end?
37:32Who knows, sighed Douglas.
37:35I've got a plan, Mr. Douglas.
37:38May I stay here today and help Mr. Oliver?
37:41We are both Great Western and must stand together.
37:44Of course, Toad, replied Douglas and puffed away.
37:49Soon Toad was explaining his plan.
37:52Goodness gracious Toad, I don't think you should suggest such a thing to Oliver.
37:57But Oliver interrupted.
37:58No, Duck. Toad's right. It's really my fault. I must put this trouble right.
38:03I meant no disrespect, you understand.
38:06Of course not, Toad. Anyway, driver says the same.
38:09And he's arranged it with the station master.
38:12Very well, Oliver, conceded Duck.
38:15But I must hurry. My passengers will be waiting. Good luck.
38:19So long, smiled Oliver bravely.
38:22But he felt dreadfully nervous inside.
38:27Oliver marshalled the worst trucks, two by two.
38:32That's the way, Mr. Oliver, whispered Toad.
38:36And if you leave that scruffy to last, you'll have him behind you.
38:40Then you can bump him if he starts his nonsense.
38:44Hold back, hold back, whispered Scruffy.
38:58And passed a word to the others.
39:00The silly trucks giggled.
39:03But Oliver knew what to do.
39:08There was plenty of sand on the rails and his wheels gripped splendidly.
39:12He gave a great heave.
39:14Oh, groaned Scruffy.
39:16I don't like this.
39:19Go in!
39:20Yelled Duck.
39:21Well done, boy.
39:22Well done!
39:23Oh!
39:24Well, Scruffy.
39:26Oh!
39:27I'm coming apart!
39:31And he did.
39:43Then there was trouble.
39:44Well, Oliver, so you don't know your own strength, is that it?
39:47No, no, sir, said Oliver nervously.
39:50The fat controller inspected Scruffy, as I thought.
39:55Rotten wood, rusty frames.
39:57Maybe if we put you back together, you'll earn yourself a better name.
40:06Nowadays, Oliver only takes the trucks when the other engines are busy.
40:11But they are always quick to warn each other.
40:14Take care with Mr. Oliver.
40:16If you play tricks on him, you'll never be the same truck again.
40:20Scruffy has learned his lesson and says nothing at all.
40:44It's on color here.
40:45It's too much on your street.
40:47It's awesome here!
40:50Here's how you got turned on to jet travel.
40:53Look, it's crazy!
40:56Shit is so wonderful.
40:58I think we'll watch you.
41:04Oh, my God.
41:08Isn't that a broken brother?
41:11On starry nights when the moon is full and the air is still, you can hear the sounds of faraway ships and distant laughter.
41:35They echo over the hills and through the valley, down calm canals and sleepy inlets.
41:42Every engine knows that these are the sounds that say the harbour is hard at work at the big station by the sea.
41:52One night a special load of fish was ordered.
41:56The Fat Controller decided that extra vans must be added to the train that the men called the Flying Killer.
42:04The only vans available were old ones. They had not been used for a long time.
42:14Henry waited impatiently by the quayside as Duck shunted them into position.
42:21Thomas puffed by with the mail train.
42:27Hello Duck! Going fishing?
42:30I'd take care if I were you.
42:32Why? Puffed Duck.
42:34Well, for one thing, puffed Thomas, remembering his own experience.
42:38If fish get into an engine's boiler, they always cause trouble.
42:42And for another, fish can be awfully smelly.
42:46And I know what I'm talking about.
42:49Good night.
42:51Henry grunted dreadfully.
43:00You'll just have to put up with it, Henry, said his driver.
43:03At least the extra load will mean you can have another engine help us up Gordon's Hill.
43:07Meanwhile, Duck was waiting at Edward's station so that he could help the heavy train by pushing from behind.
43:33Henry made good progress.
43:49When they reached Edward's station, his driver stopped the train beyond the platform.
43:55Then, Henry gave a special signal.
43:59Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! I need help, please!
44:03Beep! Beep! replied Duck.
44:05I shan't be long!
44:07Duck buzzed gently up to Henry's train.
44:10He was not coupled on.
44:12Henry would then be able to run on without stopping when they reached the top of the hill.
44:17Ready! whistled Duck.
44:19And off they set.
44:21Soon they reached Gordon's Hill.
44:39Push hard! Push hard! puffed Henry.
44:42We're doing it! We're doing it! replied Duck.
44:45Henry was pulling his train harder than he realised.
44:49Duck felt the weight on his buffers slacken. Then, Duck noticed something else.
44:59There's no sign of a tail lamp, he puffed.
45:02He whistled, but there was no reply.
45:04Meanwhile, Henry had noticed something choking.
45:07My train's getting heavier, he thought to himself.
45:10I'm slowing down.
45:12Then there was trouble.
45:22No one was hurt, but a strong smell of fish hung in the air.
45:29Next day, workmen found a broken tail lamp at the bottom of the hill.
45:34The Fat Controller spoke kindly to Duck.
45:39The accident wasn't your fault. We should have checked that this tail lamp was fixed on properly.
45:44We'll soon have you in working order again.
45:47Thank you, sir, said Duck sadly.
45:50Thomas told me to be careful about fish.
45:53They got me in a ripe pickle, didn't they?
45:56That was a big deal.
45:57After all, try to see that.
45:58Obrigado!
45:59What happened?
46:00I'm undone!
46:01See you later but it's already lighted.
46:02There wasn't a copy.
46:03Bye!
46:04Bye!
46:05Bye!
46:06Bye!
46:07Bye!
46:08Bye!
46:09Bye!
46:10Bye!
46:11Bye!
46:13Bye!
46:14Bye!
46:15Bye!
46:16Bye!
46:17Bye!
46:18Bye!
46:19Bye!
46:20Bye!
46:21Bye!
46:22Bye!
46:23Bye!
46:24Bye!
46:55Toby the tram engine was very excited.
47:02He was wearing a brand new bell that shone like gold.
47:07He was off to the seaside.
47:09His driver was explaining everything as they puffed along the line.
47:13There's a seaside village near here,
47:15and every year they have a big parade with a special attraction for all the visitors.
47:20This year, Toby, you're the special attraction.
47:29Thank you, sir, said Toby.
47:31But what does a special attraction do?
47:35Oh, just smiles and blows whistles at everyone, replied his driver.
47:40We're almost there. Listen, you can hear the seagulls.
47:42Soon, they reached the little station by the village.
47:50But instead of a big welcome, there was just one man.
47:54He whispered to Toby's driver and turned sadly away.
47:58Well, if that doesn't take the biscuit, said Toby's driver,
48:03they've run out of room in the parade and don't need a special attraction after all.
48:07We've got to go home, Toby.
48:08I'm sorry, old boy.
48:11So am I, sighed Toby.
48:13Percy was shunting in the yard.
48:24He didn't expect to see Toby.
48:27What are you doing back so soon?
48:29Before Toby could reply, the fat controller arrived.
48:34Leave these trucks here, please, Percy.
48:36There's an emergency at the harbour.
48:38Come on, Percy, said his driver.
48:40This will be trouble with Bolstrode.
48:42Who's Bolstrode? wondered Percy.
48:46He was still surprised about Toby, and now he had two puzzles to sort out.
48:50His driver explained.
48:52Bolstrode is a disagreeable barge.
48:54He never stops complaining.
48:58His driver was right about Bolstrode.
49:01Today the barge was more bad-tempered than ever.
49:04Come on, come on.
49:06Why aren't you trucks where you should be?
49:08There's no engine, and we can only go where we're put, shouted the trucks.
49:12You're in the wrong place, not us.
49:17When Percy arrived, Bolstrode was sulking, and the trucks were crosser still.
49:23Our stone is for Bolstrode.
49:25Please, put us in a siding so that we can load him up and be rid of him.
49:31But the trucks were being careless.
49:46As Percy was lining them up, they burst through some buffers.
49:50Help!
49:51Help!
49:52Help!
49:53Help!
49:54They wailed.
49:57But it was too late.
50:00Can you crisp!
50:14"'Oof!' cried Bulstrode.
50:18"'I'm sinking!'
50:19"'Serves you right!' giggled the trucks.
50:22"'You were always barging in and moaning!'
50:25"'It took a very long time to clear the mess.'
50:37"'Percy watched as Bulstrode was towed to the beach.'
50:41"'There you are!' said the workman.
50:50"'Now you can just stay here.
50:53"'Children can play in you all day,
50:55"'and at long last you'll be useful.'
50:57"'When Percy got home,
51:04"'he and Toby exchanged all their news.'
51:07"'Well, we've both had some seaside surprises today,
51:11"'laughed Toby.
51:12"'But driver says that I'm a special attraction anyway,
51:15"'and so are you,
51:17"'every time we go on our own line.'
51:19"'What do you mean?' asked Percy.
51:22"'Well, all we have to do
51:24"'is smile and blow whistles at everyone.'
51:27"'If you were a campaigner,'
51:28"'Wow, all you've had to do with the adventures,'
51:29"'of his journey,
51:30and his time you're still child��

51:48"'Sfe Estados Unidos with control James

51:50"'I never know never before he was released yet.'
