00:00It was a beautiful summer's day on Sodor.
00:04Thomas was enjoying the quiet sunshine when suddenly, all over the island, there was not a moment's peace.
00:12It could only mean one thing. Spencer had arrived.
00:17Thomas told Spencer he didn't need to be so loud.
00:22But Spencer just laughed and said only slow engines were quiet.
00:27He challenged Thomas to a race, starting from the shunting yard.
00:33Help Thomas travel to the shunting yard.
00:37Thomas and Spencer were loaded with heavy trucks.
00:40When they were both ready, the race began.
00:44Can you help Thomas beat Spencer?
00:47Oh no! Thomas' brakes had broken.
00:51Faster and faster he went, into a flat bed of jammy crates.
00:58On and on he goes, onto an old, overgrown track.
01:03Finally he stopped, covered in muck, branches and sticky jam.
01:09Then he heard a voice.
01:11It was an old and rusty engine he'd never seen before.
01:16His name was Hero.
01:19His home was an island far away, where they called him Master of the Railway.
01:26He had come to Sodor a long time ago, but had broken down and been left on this line and
01:33forgotten.
01:33He was worried that if the Fat Controller found him broken down, he would be sent to the smelter's yard.
01:41Thomas promised his new friend that he would find parts and make him a really useful engine again.
01:49So Thomas returned to the steamworks to get fixed and cleaned up.
01:54That night, Thomas told the other engines about his new friend.
01:59They all agreed to help Hero.
02:04At the steamworks, Thomas saw an old piston.
02:08Victor said he could take it.
02:11Thomas went straight to Hero.
02:13His driver and fireman went to fix on the new part.
02:18Can you place the new part on Hero?
02:22Percy kindly agreed to do some of Thomas' work,
02:25so Thomas could find some more parts for Hero.
02:29Percy knew that he had to be very careful not to let Spencer find out about Hero,
02:35or he would try to get him scrapped.
02:38Help Percy to deliver Thomas' trucks.
02:41Oh dear!
02:43Percy popped a valve while pulling Thomas' heavy load.
02:47Thomas helped him back to the steamworks.
02:51Now Percy needed a new part too.
02:53Can you find the parts to fix Percy?
02:58Percy was soon fixed, and Thomas told Victor about Hero.
03:03Victor told them he had more parts they could use,
03:07if only they could carry them to his hiding place.
03:11The fat controller was puzzled why the engines were carrying the wrong trucks,
03:17but as long as the work was done, he didn't mind.
03:20Percy was right to worry about Spencer.
03:24He knew Thomas was up to something, and started watching his every move.
03:30Thomas couldn't visit Hero without Spencer noticing.
03:34But he had an idea.
03:37He could ask Percy to take the next part to Hero,
03:40but first, they both had to race away from Spencer so he wouldn't hear their plan.
03:47Can you help Percy go really fast?
03:51Percy collected the part and took it to Hero.
03:55He was amazed by the old engine.
03:58Hero was very pleased to meet Thomas' best friend.
04:02Can you place the new part on Hero?
04:06Spencer tried to find out what Thomas was up to by asking Emily,
04:11but she wouldn't speak to him until she'd finished her shunting.
04:15Move Emily so the truck rolls to a stop in the right place.
04:20While Spencer was distracted,
04:23Thomas collected the next part for Hero.
04:26Suddenly, Spencer appeared nearby.
04:29Luckily, Mavis saw him first, and distracted him with a game.
04:35After the game, Mavis took Spencer on a tour of the quarry.
04:40It was a very dirty place.
04:43Slate and dust blew down his funnel,
04:46and bounced off his boiler.
04:48He was so messy,
04:50he had to return to the steamworks to get fixed,
04:53and Thomas and Percy could spend the rest of the day helping Hero.
04:59After his quarry visit,
05:01Spencer was so battered
05:03that he needed a new coat of shiny silver paint.
05:07But it wasn't long before he was a splendid silver engine again,
05:12and set out to find Thomas.
05:15Helped Spencer look around the island.
05:18Spencer looked around,
05:20and tried to work out what all the engines were doing.
05:24Match the pictures of the engines
05:26to find some clues.
05:28Spencer was getting nearer to Hero's hiding place.
05:32Luckily,
05:33James and Toby were with him.
05:36James thought he could chase Spencer away.
05:39Quickly,
05:41help James chase Spencer away.
05:44With Spencer heading in the wrong direction,
05:48Hero's hiding place was safe.
05:50With most of his parts repaired,
05:53Hero was feeling much better.
05:57It was time for a test run.
05:59While they waited for Hero's steam to build up,
06:03the friends played a quick game.
06:06With enough steam in his boiler,
06:09Hero and Thomas set out for a test run on the mainland.
06:13Help Hero take his first test run.
06:16Oh no!
06:18Thomas and Hero heard Spencer coming.
06:22Hero tried to go as fast as he could.
06:26It was no good.
06:27Spencer quickly caught up with them.
06:30As Hero tried to go faster,
06:33the new parts began to fall off.
06:36Hero was breaking down again.
06:39Spencer called him a scrap engine.
06:43Thomas worried
06:44that Spencer would tell the Fat Controller.
06:48Suddenly,
06:48Gordon steamed past
06:50and called Spencer a slow coach.
06:54Spencer couldn't resist the challenge.
06:58Can you help Gordon beat Spencer?
07:01Standing at the station
07:03was the Fat Controller.
07:04Before Spencer could say anything,
07:08the Fat Controller told him off for racing
07:11and sent him back to work.
07:13Thomas hid Hero in a siding
07:16and promised to come and see him
07:18as soon as he'd finished his work.
07:21Thomas had to finish his shunting
07:23before he could return to Hero,
07:26but he did it as quickly as possible.
07:30With his work finished,
07:33Thomas could finally go
07:34and check up on Hero,
07:36help Thomas back to see Hero.
07:40Hero was not feeling at all well.
07:43Going so fast
07:45had caused many of his new parts to fail.
07:48Thomas decided
07:49that he would have to convince
07:51the Fat Controller to fix Hero.
07:54But now Spencer had finished his work too.
07:57He was going to tell the Fat Controller
08:00that Hero should be scrapped.
08:03Who would tell their story
08:05to the Fat Controller first?
08:08Will Thomas beat Spencer this time?
08:11Oh no!
08:13The track couldn't support Spencer's weight.
08:17With a mighty splash,
08:20Spencer slid into the mud.
08:23Thomas arrived at Knapford Station,
08:25where he nervously told
08:27the Fat Controller about Hero.
08:30He begged him not to send him
08:32to the smelter's yard.
08:34The Fat Controller was amazed
08:36and surprised
08:37that Thomas would even think
08:39he would scrap Hero.
08:41He called him
08:43Master of the Railway
08:45and ordered him to be fixed
08:47straight away.
08:48Thomas and Percy
08:50helped Hero to the steamworks.
08:52everyone had a good look
08:54to find all the parts
08:56they needed to fix him completely.
08:59Can you find the new parts for Hero?
09:02With all the parts sorted,
09:05it was time to fix Hero.
09:08The engines gasped.
09:11Hero looked as good as new,
09:14but he couldn't stop
09:15to admire his new parts.
09:17He had a job to do.
09:20Using all his strength,
09:22Hero rescued Spencer
09:24from the mud
09:25and pulled him back
09:26to the steamworks.
09:29Can you give Spencer
09:30a good wash?
09:33Spencer was so grateful
09:35that Thomas and Hero
09:36had helped him
09:37that he said sorry
09:39and promised to be
09:40a good friend from now on.
09:48Hero was enjoying
09:50being a really useful engine,
09:52but he still felt sad.
09:55He missed his home.
09:57That night,
09:58Thomas told the fat controller
10:00that Hero was homesick.
10:02He agreed that
10:03if it would make him happy,
10:05Hero could go home.
10:07He also said
10:09that for rescuing Hero,
10:10Thomas could have
10:12a fresh coat of paint.
10:14Can you give Thomas
10:16his well-deserved
10:17new coat of paint?
10:20All too soon,
10:22it was time for Hero
10:23to go home.
10:25He steamed around Sodor
10:27one last time,
10:28remembering all the places
10:30he'd been
10:31and friends he'd made.
10:33Can you take Hero
10:35for his last journey
10:36around Sodor?
10:40All the engines
10:41gathered at the docks
10:43to say goodbye.
10:44Thomas and Hero
10:46didn't know
10:47when they would meet again,
10:48but they knew
10:49they would never
10:50forget each other.
10:53The End
