Storyteller:
THE ISLAND OF SODOR
IS SURROUNDED
BY BEAUTIFUL BLUE SEA.
IT HAS FIELDS OF GREEN
AND SANDY, YELLOW BEACHES.
THERE ARE RIVERS, STREAMS,
AND LOTS OF TREES
WHERE THE BIRDS SING.
THERE ARE WINDMILLS
AND A COAL MINE
AND DOCKS WHERE VISITORS
TO THE ISLAND ARRIVE.
THE ISLAND ALSO HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF RAILWAY LINES.
WHO'’S THAT PUFFING
DOWN THE TRACK?
[ Toot-Toot! ]
IT'’S THOMAS!
HELLO, THOMAS!
[ Toot-Toot! ]
"HELLO, EVERYBODY!
WELCOME TO
THE ISLAND OF SODOR!"
[ Toot-Toot! ]
[ Bell Dings ]
[ Brakes Wheesh! ]
SODOR DAY WAS COMING
TO THE ISLAND OF SODOR.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THOMAS AND JAMES
WERE VERY EXCITED.
THERE WOULD BE PICNICS
ALL OVER THE ISLAND.
[ Children Laughing ]
A MAGNIFICENT BRASS BAND.
AND THE BIGGEST CARNIVAL
SODOR HAD EVER SEEN!
ALL THE ENGINES WERE BUSY.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
AND EVERYONE WAS EXCITED!
SODOR DAY WAS THE ISLAND'’S
GRANDEST CELEBRATION.
THOMAS AND JAMES
WERE RACING TO THE WHARF.
WHOEVER ARRIVED FIRST WOULD BE
GIVEN A "SPECIAL" SPECIAL!
"I'’M GOING TO WIN!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
"NO, I WILL!"
WHISTLED JAMES.
AND ON THEY RACED.
FASTER THAN THE WIND
AND MORE DARING
THAN DARTING ARROWS.
[♪ "Racing to the Wharf" ♪]
Children Singing:
[ Whistles Tooting ]
THOMAS AND JAMES
STEAMED INTO THE WHARF.
FIRST, JAMES IN FRONT,
THEN THOMAS TOOK THE LEAD.
THE WHARF WAS BUZZING!
BARGES CHUGGED, CRANES SWUNG
AND FREIGHT CARS
RATTLED AND ROLLED.
THOMAS AND JAMES RACED BY.
THE LITTLE NARROW GAUGE ENGINES
WHISTLED AND WHEESHED
IN SURPRISE
AT THE SPEED AND THE STEAM
OF THE BIG ENGINES.
THE NARROW GAUGE CONTROLLER
WAS WAITING.
THOMAS WHOOSHED
AROUND THE CORNER,
PUFFING AND HUFFING
JUST IN FRONT OF JAMES!
"I WON!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
"HOORAY!
BAD LUCK, JAMES!"
JAMES'’ CHEEKS WERE AS RED
AS HIS PAINTWORK!
"I'’LL WIN ON THE WAY
BACK TO TIDMOUTH!"
"WELL DONE, BOTH OF YOU,"
MR. PERCIVAL ANNOUNCED LOUDLY.
"JAMES, YOU ARE TO UNLOAD
BARGES HERE AT THE WHARF!"
JAMES SMILED.
HE LIKED THAT JOB.
NOW, HE DIDN'’T MIND
LOSING THE RACE!
"AND THE "SPECIAL"
SPECIAL
GOES TO THE WINNER,
THOMAS!"
THOMAS WAS EXCITED.
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
"YOU ARE TO WORK
WITH DUNCAN.
"YOU WILL BRING LUMBER
FROM THE HILLS
"DOWN TO THE WHARF.
IT'’S A VERY
IMPORTANT JOB."
THOMAS WHEESHED
A WHIFF OF STEAM.
HE WAS DISAPPOINTED.
HE WANTED TO WORK AT THE WHARF.
AND DUNCAN WAS TRICKY.
HE LIKED TO TEASE
THE BIG ENGINES,
ESPECIALLY THOMAS!
"DUNCAN,"
ADDED MR. PERCIVAL,
"PLEASE LOOK
AFTER THOMAS!"
"MR. PERCIVAL SAYS THAT
BECAUSE YOU MAINLINE ENGINES
DON'’T KNOW THE TRACKS
IN THE HILLS!"
DUNCAN TEASED.
"YES, WE DO!
"MR. PERCIVAL WANTS ME
TO WORK WITH YOU
BECAUSE YOU LITTLE ENGINES
CAN ONLY CARRY SMALL LOADS!"
TEASED THOMAS BACK.
DUNCAN HUFFED CROSSLY AWAY.
LATER, AT THE TRANSFER YARDS,
THOMAS WAS WAITING FOR DUNCAN.
DUNCAN PUFFED IN.
"IS THAT ALL THE LUMBER
YOU CAN PULL?"
TEASED THOMAS.
"JAMES IS WAITING FOR ME
AT THE WHARF!
I CAN'’T WAIT FOR YOU ALL DAY!"
THAT MADE DUNCAN CROSS!
THOMAS PUMPED HIS PISTONS.
HIS TRUCKS
WERE NOW PILED WITH LOGS
AND HE WAS READY TO LEAVE.
THEN, DUNCAN HAD A CHEEKY IDEA.
"I CAN SHOW YOU A QUICK WAY
BACK TO THE WHARF.
"BUT YOU HAVE TO GO
OVER ROLLING RIVER BRIDGE.
IT'’S VERY HIGH."
THOMAS WASN'’T SURE.
"YOU BIG ENGINES AREN'’T SCARED
OF HIGH BRIDGES, ARE YOU?"
PUFFED DUNCAN.
"NO, WE'’RE NOT!"
HUFFED THOMAS CROSSLY.
"I LIKE HIGH BRIDGES!
"PLEASE, SHOW ME THE WAY
TO ROLLING RIVER BRIDGE."
SO, THE TWO ENGINES
STEAMED OFF.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THOMAS AND DUNCAN
CHUFFED UP TO THE JUNCTION.
"TAKE THIS OLD TRACK
TO THE BRIDGE!"
PUFFED DUNCAN.
"IT'’S DOWNHILL
FROM THE OTHER SIDE,
STRAIGHT TO THE WHARF!"
THOMAS'’ SIGNAL TURNED GREEN.
"THANK YOU, DUNCAN,"
THOMAS TOOTED.
AND HE PUFFED OFF.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
BUT DUNCAN DIDN'’T KNOW
THE HIGH BRIDGE WASN'’T SAFE.
IT HADN'’T BEEN USED
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
THOMAS CHUFFED SLOWLY
TOWARD THE BRIDGE.
THE BRIDGE LOOKED VERY OLD.
AND IT WAS VERY HIGH.
AND THE RAVINE WAS VERY DEEP.
THOMAS COULD HEAR ROCKS
FALLING INTO THE RAVINE.
HE FELT A LITTLE SCARED.
"I LIKE HIGH BRIDGES,
"BUT THIS ONE IS REALLY HIGH!
"IF I CHUFF SLOWLY,
I'’LL REACH THE OTHER SIDE
BEFORE I KNOW IT!"
HE PUFFED BRAVELY.
WHEEL TURN BY WHEEL TURN
THOMAS EDGED ONTO THE BRIDGE.
"I AM BRAVE AND I AM STRONG,
I'’LL GET TO THE WHARF,
AND IT WON'’T TAKE LONG!"
HE CHUFFED TO HIMSELF.
THOMAS WAS NOW
HALFWAY ACROSS THE BRIDGE.
THE SOUND OF THE FALLING ROCKS
WAS LOUDER AND LOUDER.
THE BRIDGE HAD STARTED
TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE!
THOMAS DIDN'’T LIKE IT AT ALL!
BUT HE WANTED TO GET
TO THE OTHER SIDE!
THEN THOMAS HEARD
A MIGHTY CRACK!
[ Loud Crack! ]
PART OF THE BRIDGE IN FRONT OF
HIM CAME AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.
[ Crash! ]
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
CRIED THOMAS.
"I MUST GET BACK TO SAFETY."
HE WAS VERY SCARED.
THEN, THOMAS
STARTED TO REVERSE.
HE PUFFED SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
THEN, THERE WAS
ANOTHER MIGHTY CRACK!
[ Crack! Crash! ]
A LARGE PIECE
OF THE BROKEN BRIDGE
FELL DOWN
INTO THE RAVINE BELOW!
[ Crash! ]
WITH THE BIGGEST PUFF
HE HAD EVER HUFFED,
THOMAS PUSHED BACKWARDS
ONTO THE HILLSIDE.
"I'’M SAFE!"
HE CRIED...
JUST AS THE LAST PART
OF THE BRIDGE GROANED
AND SWUNG OVER
THE DEEP RAVINE.
[ Crashing! ]
THOMAS PEERED DOWN
TO THE BROKEN BRIDGE BELOW.
"OH, FLATTEN MY FUNNEL!"
HE GASPED.
[♪ Music ♪]
THOMAS PUFFED BACK
TO THE JUNCTION.
HE SAW THERE WAS ANOTHER TRACK.
[ Wheesh! ]
[Toot-Toot! ]
"MAYBE THIS TRACK GOES
TO THE WHARF, TOO!"
WHISTLED THOMAS.
AND HE RATTLED AWAY
DOWN THE STEEP TRACK.
THE TRACK WAS COVERED
IN THICK BRAMBLES AND BUSHES.
THEY SCRUNCHED AND SCRATCHED AS THOMAS CHUFFED THROUGH THEM.
[♪ Music ♪]
"WHOO! NO ONE HAS BEEN DOWN HERE
FOR A VERY LONG TIME!"
HE HUFFED.
AND HE PUFFED ON.
[♪ Music Continues ♪]
THEN THOMAS GASPED!
HE HAD ARRIVED
AT A HIDDEN TOWN.
IT WAS OVERGROWN,
RUSTY AND VERY OLD.
"BUBBLING BOILERS!"
THOMAS CRIED.
THERE WERE LOTS
OF OLD BUILDINGS
AND A STATION COVERED IN IVY.
"WHAT A FUNNY PLACE
TO HAVE A TOWN!"
HE TOOTED.
THOMAS WAS VERY EXCITED.
"I WONDER WHAT ELSE I'’LL FIND!"
HE WHEESHED.
THOMAS CHUFFED TO A HALT.
"FIZZLING FIREBOXES!"
HE GASPED.
THOMAS HAD NEVER SEEN
SUCH AN AMAZING SIGHT!
"THERE ARE SO MANY BUILDINGS.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
A VERY LARGE TOWN!"
HE CRIED.
"THAT LOOKS LIKE
PART OF A TOWER."
THOMAS WAS VERY EXCITED INDEED.
"I MUST TELL EVERYONE
ABOUT THIS!"
HE TOOTED LOUDLY.
[♪ Music ♪]
THOMAS BUMPED AND BASHED
HIS WAY ALONG THE OLD TRACK.
HE HAD TO SPREAD THE NEWS!
HE WHISTLED AS HARD
AS HE COULD!
"SOMEONE MUST HEAR ME!"
HE THOUGHT.
SO, HE WHISTLED AGAIN!
SUDDENLY, A HORN HOOTED.
"THAT'’S MADGE!"
THOMAS TOOTED.
MADGE WAS SURPRISED
TO SEE THOMAS.
"MADGE!
I'’VE DISCOVERED AN OLD TOWN!
IT'’S HIDDEN IN THE FOREST!"
WHEESHED THOMAS, EXCITEDLY.
"FENDERS AND FLATBEDS!"
EXCLAIMED MADGE.
"EVERYONE MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS!"
[ Engine Revs ]
MADGE FOUND MIGHTY MAC
AT A CROSSING.
"THOMAS
HAS DISCOVERED
A HIDDEN TOWN!"
SHE HOOTED LOUDLY.
"TELL EVERYONE!"
MIGHTY MAC TOLD SIR HANDEL...
WHO TOLD SKARLOEY...
WHO TOLD RHENEAS...
WHO TOLD
THE NARROW GAUGE CONTROLLER...
WHO TOLD HAROLD...
WHO IMMEDIATELY FLEW OFF
TO FIND SIR TOPHAM HATT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT
HAD BEEN HAVING TEA
WHEN HAROLD ARRIVED.
"THOMAS HAS DISCOVERED
A HIDDEN TOWN!"
SHOUTED HAROLD.
SIR TOPHAM HATT
WAS VERY EXCITED.
"TAKE ME TO THOMAS AT ONCE!"
HE BOOMED.
SOON, THOMAS
AND SIR TOPHAM HATT
ARRIVED AT THE HIDDEN TOWN.
"HERE IT IS, SIR!"
THOMAS WHEESHED.
SIR TOPHAM HATT BEAMED
FROM EAR TO EAR.
"THOMAS, YOU HAVE MADE
A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
THIS IS THE TOWN
OF GREAT WATERTON!"
THOMAS GASPED!
HE AND THE OTHER ENGINES
HAD HEARD STORIES
ABOUT GREAT WATERTON.
"WHEN STEAM ENGINES
FIRST CAME TO SODOR,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT SAID,
"THIS WAS THE MAIN TOWN.
"IT WAS CALLED GREAT WATERTON.
THE WATERWORKS HERE
PROVIDED WATER FOR EVERYONE."
"WHY DOES NO ONE
LIVE HERE NOW?"
PUFFED THOMAS.
"ALL THE PEOPLE LEFT
TO LIVE IN NEW TOWNS.
"AND EVERYONE THOUGHT
THE TOWN OF GREAT WATERTON
WAS LOST FOREVER."
"BUT NOW IT IS FOUND!"
CHEERED THOMAS.
"THANKS TO YOU, THOMAS,"
SMILED SIR TOPHAM HATT
"I WILL TELEPHONE
THE MAYOR STRAIGHT AWAY.
I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU!"
THOMAS FELT REALLY IMPORTANT.
"THANK YOU, SIR,"
HE TOOTED.
"HOORAY!"
SIR TOPHAM HATT
ARRIVED AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
THE OTHER ENGINES
WERE VERY PROUD OF THOMAS.
"THE TOWN OF GREAT WATERTON
IS TO BE RESTORED
IN TIME FOR SODOR DAY!"
HE BOOMED.
"THE RESTORATION
WILL BE A LOT OF WORK."
PERCY WAS PUZZLED.
"WHAT'’S RESTORATION?"
HE WHEESHED QUIETLY.
"RESTORATION,"
GROANED GORDON LOUDLY.
"THAT IS WHEN
YOU MAKE SOMETHING VERY OLD,
LOOK NEW AGAIN."
"THERE ARE
MANY JOBS TO BE DONE,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT ADDED.
ALL THE ENGINES WERE PLEASED.
SIR TOPHAM HATT GAVE EACH
OF THE ENGINES IMPORTANT JOBS.
[ Engines Whistle & Toot ]
THEY WHISTLED AND TOOTED
IN EXCITEMENT!
"NOW, I WILL TELEPHONE
MISS JENNY.
WE NEED THE HELP
OF THE SODOR
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY."
[♪ Music ♪]
SIR TOPHAM HATT
TELEPHONED MISS JENNY.
"MISS JENNY,
"THOMAS
HAS DISCOVERED
THE OLD TOWN
OF GREAT WATERTON.
"WE NEED THE HELP
OF JACK AND HIS TEAM
TO REBUILD IT.
IT MUST BE READY
IN TIME FOR SODOR DAY."
"HOW EXCITING!"
SAID MISS JENNY.
"THEY WILL BE
DELIGHTED TO HELP.
I'’LL TELL THEM
RIGHT AWAY, SIR."
SO, MISS JENNY WENT TO SEE JACK AND HIS TEAM.
"WE WILL WORK
HARDER THAN EVER!"
HOOTED JACK EXCITEDLY.
AT THE DEPOT, MR. PERCIVAL
GATHERED HIS ENGINES.
HE SPOKE LOUDLY.
"YOU WILL ALL
BE VERY BUSY!"
THE ENGINES WHISTLED
AND TOOTED HAPPILY.
"I KNOW YOU WILL ALL DO
YOUR VERY BEST!"
MR. PERCIVAL CHEERED.

BACK AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS,
SIR TOPHAM HATT
WAS TALKING TO THOMAS.
"THOMAS, YOU ARE TO FIND
ALL THE LOST AND HIDDEN TRACKS
AROUND THE TOWN."
THOMAS WAS PLEASED!
"AND BECAUSE
YOU DISCOVERED
GREAT WATERTON,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT ADDED.
"I AM ALSO GIVING YOU
THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF ALL.
"YOU ARE TO BE IN CHARGE
OF ALL THE WORK."
"FIZZLING FIREBOXES!"
PUFFED THOMAS PROUDLY.
"I AM BRINGING
AN ENGINE
"FROM THE MAINLAND
TO DO
YOUR USUAL JOBS,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT ADDED.
THOMAS DIDN'’T TAKE
ANY NOTICE OF THIS,
HE WAS TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT
BEING IN CHARGE OF ALL THE WORK AT GREAT WATERTON.
THE NEXT MORNING,
SIR TOPHAM HATT
ARRIVED AT BRENDHAM DOCKS
TO MEET THE NEW ENGINE.
EVEN CRANKY WAS EXCITED!
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND OF PISTONS PUMPING.
FROM BEHIND THE CLOUD OF STEAM,
A NEW TANK ENGINE
PUFFED SLOWLY OUT.
HE WAS SHINIER AND BIGGER
AND STRONGER THAN THOMAS.
"THIS IS STANLEY,"
BOOMED SIR TOPHAM HATT,
"WELCOME TO SODOR, STANLEY."
"OH, MY, MY,"
GASPED HENRY.
"WHATEVER
WILL THOMAS SAY?"
THOMAS DIDN'’T KNOW
THAT STANLEY HAD ARRIVED.
HE HAD BEEN BUSY.
HE HAD ALREADY FOUND
A LOT OF HIDDEN TRACKS.
THOMAS PUFFED PROUDLY ALONG
TO HIS NEW ENGINE SHED.
JAMES HUFFED UP.
"LOOK AT MY NEW SHED!"
THOMAS TOOTED GRANDLY.
"WHILE I'’M IN CHARGE,
I WON'’T HAVE TIME
TO PUFF BACK TO TIDMOUTH!"
BUT JAMES WASN'’T INTERESTED
IN THOMAS'’ SHED.
"I'’VE JUST MET
THE NEW ENGINE,"
SNORTED JAMES.
"HE'’S CALLED STANLEY.
"HE'’S VERY FRIENDLY.
"EVERYONE LIKES HIM.
HE'’S DOING YOUR JOBS VERY WELL."
THOMAS WAS SURPRISED.
SUDDENLY, HIS NEW SHED
DIDN'’T SEEM SO IMPORTANT.
THE NEXT DAY,
THOMAS HAD TO PULL
HEAVY FREIGHT CARS OF STONE
TO THE DOCKS
HE STOPPED AT THE WASH-DOWN.
HE SAW A SHINY NEW TANK ENGINE.
"THAT MUST BE STANLEY,"
HE PUFFED TO HIMSELF.
STANLEY AND PERCY
WERE PLAYING AND JOKING.
BOTH ENGINES
HAD TOLD THE WORKMEN
TO POUR ON MORE BUBBLES.
PERCY WAS GIGGLING
AND STANLEY WAS LAUGHING
EVEN LOUDER.
THOMAS FELT LEFT OUT.
[ Toot-Toot! ]
HE TOOTED TO HIS FRIEND,
BUT PERCY WAS TOO BUSY
HAVING FUN.
HE DIDN'’T NOTICE THOMAS.
THOMAS PUFFED ON.
HE WAS UPSET.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
LATER, THOMAS STOPPED
AT A JUNCTION.
GORDON WAS WAITING.
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
SUDDENLY,
WITH A WHOOSH AND A WHISTLE,
STANLEY RACED ONTO THE
MAIN LINE
WITH ANNIE AND CLARABEL.
THEY WERE HAVING
A WONDERFUL TIME!
THEY CLATTERED
STRAIGHT PAST THOMAS.
"STANLEY KNOWS
HOW TO HAVE FUN,"
GORDON DECLARED.
THOMAS WATCHED
STANLEY DISAPPEAR.
HE DIDN'’T THINK
IT WAS FUN AT ALL.
THAT NIGHT, THOMAS PUFFED
INTO TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
HE WAS VERY TIRED.
TONIGHT, HE WANTED
TO BE WITH HIS FRIENDS.
[ Gasp! ]
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
HE GASPED.
STANLEY WAS IN HIS BERTH!
STANLEY BLEW A HIGH SOUND
FROM HIS WHISTLE.
THEN GORDON BLEW A LOW SOUND.
AND EMILY TREMBLED A SOUND
NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD BEFORE!
ALL THE ENGINES WHOOSHED
AND WHEESHED WITH LAUGHTER.
"HELLO!
YOU MUST BE THOMAS!"
WHISTLED STANLEY.
"HELLO, THOMAS!"
CHUCKLED THE OTHER ENGINES.
BUT THOMAS WASN'’T CHUCKLING.
HE DIDN'’T LIKE
STANLEY DOING HIS JOBS.
OR PULLING HIS PASSENGER CARS
OR BEING EVERYONE'’S
BEST FRIEND.
BUT LAUGHING IN HIS BERTH
AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS
WAS WORST OF ALL!
"I HAVE TO GET BACK
TO GREAT WATERTON!"
HE HUFFED.
"I HAVE WORK TO DO."
AND HE CHUFFED QUICKLY AWAY.
THOMAS WISHED STANLEY
HAD NEVER COME TO SODOR.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THE NEXT DAY,
THOMAS WAS EXTRA BUSY.
HE WANTED EVERYONE TO SEE
HE WAS BETTER THAN STANLEY.
[ Wheesh! ]
THOMAS COLLECTED JACK.
"I NEED YOU ALL TO WORK HARDER
THAN YOU'’VE EVER WORKED!"
HE TOOTED TO JACK.
"DON'’T WORRY, THOMAS.
"ALFIE, NED AND OLIVER
ARE THE BEST!
"AND MONTY AND MAX
ARE DUMPING SUCH HEAVY LOADS,
THEY'’RE GETTING DIZZY!"
THOMAS SMILED.
HE LIKED BEING IN CHARGE.
THOMAS WANTED TO SHOW EVERYONE
HE COULD DO EVERYTHING!
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
NEXT, HE WAS PULLING
SOME HEAVY FREIGHT CARS.
THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.
THOMAS WAS PUFFING
TOO FAST ROUND THE BEND.
HE TOPPLED OFF THE TRACK!
[ Crash! ]
HIS LOAD CRASHED DOWN THE BANK!
"OH, NO!"
CRIED THOMAS.
LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT ARRIVED
WITH EDWARD AND ROCKY.
HE WAS CROSS.
"THOMAS, YOU MUST GO
TO THE REPAIR YARD."
THOMAS DIDN'’T WANT
TO GO TO THE REPAIR YARD.
HE WANTED TO STAY IN CHARGE.
"STANLEY WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE
IN CHARGE OF THE WORK
AT GREAT WATERTON,"
ADDED SIR TOPHAM HATT.
THIS WAS THE WORST NEWS
EVER FOR THOMAS!
HE WAS SO UPSET!
ROCKY LOWERED THOMAS
ONTO EDWARD'’S FLATBED.
SLOWLY, EDWARD PUFFED AWAY
FROM GREAT WATERTON.
EDWARD HAD TO STOP AT A SIGNAL.
STANLEY CHUFFED CHEERFULLY
TOWARDS THEM.
"BAD LUCK, THOMAS!"
HE WHISTLED
AND HE PUFFED AWAY.
IN THE DISTANCE THEY COULD HEAR THE OTHER ENGINES CHEER.
"WELCOME, STANLEY!"
THOMAS WAS CROSS.
"I FOUND GREAT WATERTON,"
HE HOOTED.
"I'’LL BE BACK!
"I'’LL BE IN CHARGE AGAIN!
THEN EVERYONE WILL SEE
I'’M MORE USEFUL THAN STANLEY!"
EDWARD'’S SIGNAL CHANGED TO GO
AND HE PUFFED ON.
SOON, THOMAS WAS
AS GOOD AS NEW!
"NOW I CAN GET BACK TO MY JOB
AT GREAT WATERTON,"
HE TOOTED.
THOMAS COULDN'’T WAIT.
HE CHUFFED CHEERILY
OUT OF THE REPAIR YARD.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THOMAS WAS VERY HAPPY
TO SEE HIS FRIEND PERCY.
"HELLO, PERCY,"
HE TOOTED.
"I THOUGHT TOBY
WAS TO PICK UP WORKMEN."
"HELLO, THOMAS.
"STANLEY HAS GIVEN ME EXTRA JOBS
"BECAUSE HE SAYS
I GIVE VERY SMOOTH RIDES!"
PEEPED PERCY PROUDLY.
"TOMORROW, STANLEY AND I
ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER
ON THE TOWER!"
THOMAS DIDN'’T WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT STANLEY.
HE WAS UPSET.
NEXT, THOMAS FOUND
JACK, MONTY AND MAX.
THEY WERE VERY BUSY.
"COME ON, MONTY AND MAX,
LET'’S MAKE STANLEY PROUD!"
JACK CRIED.
"HE'’S ASKED US
TO FILL IN THREE HOLES
AND WE'’VE ONLY FILLED IN ONE."
"HELLO!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
BUT JACK, MONTY AND MAX
WERE TOO BUSY TO NOTICE HIM.
THOMAS WAS EVEN MORE UPSET.
HE FELT AS IF
HE DIDN'’T MATTER AT ALL.
HE PUFFED SADLY AWAY.
BUT THOMAS FORGOT
ALL ABOUT FEELING SAD
WHEN HE CHUFFED
INTO GREAT WATERTON STATION.
IT WAS STARTING TO LOOK
AS IT MUST HAVE DONE LONG AGO.
"BUBBLING BOILERS!"
HE CRIED.
"THIS IS VERY EXCITING!"
THEN THOMAS SAW STANLEY.
HE WAS WITH SIR TOPHAM HATT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT SAW THOMAS.
"COME HERE!"
HE BOOMED.
[ Toot-Toot! ]
"HELLO, THOMAS!"
STEAMED STANLEY.
[ Toot-Toot! ]
THOMAS TOOTED BACK.
BUT VERY QUIETLY.
"STANLEY HAS DONE A GOOD JOB.
WORK IS MOVING FAST,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT DECLARED.
"SO I HAVE DECIDED,"
HE ADDED,
"THAT STANLEY
WILL STAY IN CHARGE
AND YOU WILL HELP HIM."
THOMAS'’ FUNNEL FLATTENED!
STANLEY WAS TO STAY IN CHARGE?
THOMAS HAD LOST
THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF ALL!
THE JOB HE WANTED
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE!
THAT AFTERNOON,
STANLEY ASKED THOMAS
TO SHUNT SOME FREIGHT CARS.
"YOU'’RE THE BEST SHUNTER EVER,
THOMAS!"
STANLEY CHUFFED CHEERILY.
"I WILL BE BACK
FOR THE FREIGHT CARS VERY SOON."
THOMAS WAS VERY GOOD
AT SHUNTING FREIGHT CARS
AND HE ALSO REALLY LIKED
SHUNTING FREIGHT CARS.
BUT HE DIDN'’T REALLY LIKE STANLEY TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO.
THOMAS CHUFFED UNHAPPILY
TO THE FREIGHT CARS.
HE WANTED THINGS
BACK THE WAY THEY WERE...
BEFORE STANLEY
HAD ARRIVED ON THE ISLAND.
THOMAS SHUNTED
LOTS OF FREIGHT CARS.
STANLEY HAD TO TAKE THEM UP
THE STEEP HILL OUT OF THE TOWN
TO THE WHARF.
SUDDENLY, AN IDEA
FLEW INTO THOMAS'’ FUNNEL.
"IF I SHUNT AN EXTRA LONG LINE
OF FREIGHT CARS
STANLEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO PULL THEM!"
HE PUFFED TO HIMSELF.
"EVERYONE WILL SEE
HE'’S NOT SO STRONG AFTER ALL!
THEN I WILL BE
IN CHARGE AGAIN!"
SOON, THE CARS WERE READY.
THEY WERE VERY, VERY HEAVY.
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
STANLEY CHUFFED BACK.
"MY! THAT'’S A LONG TRAIN!"
HE PUFFED.
"NOT FOR A STRONG ENGINE
LIKE YOU!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
BUT THOMAS KNEW IT WAS
TOO LONG AND TOO HEAVY!
[♪ Music ♪]
STANLEY STARTED UP THE HILL.
IT WAS VERY STEEP.
STANLEY WAS DOING HIS BEST.
STANLEY WAS USING ALL HIS HUFF
AND ALL HIS PUFF.
THE TRUCKS CLANKED AND CREAKED.
THE TRAIN WAS FAR TOO HEAVY!
STANLEY'’S WHEELS SPUN AND SLID.
SUDDENLY THE COUPLING SNAPPED
AND STANLEY'’S TRUCKS
ROLLED AWAY...
FASTER AND FASTER!
THE ENGINES GASPED
AS STANLEY'’S TRAIN
CAME RACING DOWN THE HILL!
IT SMASHED INTO THE TOWER!
[ Crash! ]
AS THE TOWER CRASHED
TO THE GROUND,
BRICKS AND DUST
EXPLODED EVERYWHERE!
ALL THE HARD WORK WAS WASTED.
THE ENGINES GASPED IN HORROR.
AND THOMAS FELT WORST OF ALL.
HE KNEW IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT AND MISS JENNY
CAME TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
"THIS IS A DISASTER!"
BOOMED SIR TOPHAM HATT.
"THOMAS,"
HE ASKED,
"WHY DID YOU SHUNT
SO MANY FREIGHT CARS
FOR STANLEY?"
THOMAS FELT TERRIBLE.
HE KNEW WHY HE HAD DONE IT,
BUT HE COULDN'’T TELL
SIR TOPHAM HATT
AND THE OTHER ENGINES.
HE FELT TOO ASHAMED.
SO, HE SAID NOTHING.
SIR TOPHAM HATT WAS VERY CROSS.
THE OTHER ENGINES
STARTED TO WHISPER.
"THOMAS DOESN'’T LIKE STANLEY,"
SNORTED JAMES.
"THAT'’S WHY HE SHUNTED
TOO MANY FREIGHT CARS FOR HIM."
"WHY WOULD THOMAS
DO SUCH A THING?"
ASKED TOBY.
"THOMAS WOULD NEVER DO THAT,"
PEEPED PERCY.
BUT HE WAS WORRIED.
THOMAS FELT VERY BAD.
HE PUFFED SLOWLY AWAY.
[ Brakes Wheesh! ]
THOMAS FOUND AN OLD TRACK.
HE WANTED TO BE ALONE.
"THE OTHER ENGINES
DON'’T WANT ME AROUND,"
HE PUFFED SADLY.
"THEY WISH
I WASN'’T HERE AT ALL."
STANLEY PUFFED TOWARDS THOMAS.
HE SAW THAT THOMAS
LOOKED SAD AND ALONE.
"THOMAS FEELS BAD,"
HE CHUFFED TO HIMSELF.
HE FELT VERY SORRY FOR HIM.
LATER SIR TOPHAM HATT
CALLED THE ENGINES TOGETHER.
"NOW, GREAT WATERTON MAY NOT
BE READY FOR SODOR DAY,"
HE ANNOUNCED STERNLY.
THE ENGINES GASPED!
"MISS JENNY'’S CREW
WILL LOAD THE RUBBLE
"INTO THE FREIGHT CARS TONIGHT.
"BUT THIS MEANS
EXTRA WORK
FOR ALL OF YOU!"
HE ADDED.
"TOMORROW,
YOU WILL START
"TO SHUNT
THE FREIGHT CARS
AWAY TO
THE SIDINGS."
THOMAS HAD LET DOWN
SIR TOPHAM HATT,
HE HAD LET DOWN
THE OTHER ENGINES,
AND HE HAD LET HIMSELF DOWN.
THE OTHER ENGINES
STARTED TO CHUFF AWAY.
NO ONE SPOKE TO THOMAS.
HE WAS NO LONGER IN CHARGE.
AND HE FELT
HE WAS NO LONGER WANTED.
THAT NIGHT,
ALL THE OTHER ENGINES
WERE ASLEEP IN THEIR SHEDS.
BUT NOT THOMAS.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
[ Wheesh! ]
JACK AND ALFIE HAD ALREADY
LOADED THEIR CARS OF RUBBLE.
"IF I SHUNT ALL THE FREIGHT
CARS AWAY TO THE SIDINGS,
"THE TRACKS WILL BE CLEAR
IN THE MORNING.
THEN EVERYONE
WILL LIKE ME AGAIN!"
THOMAS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING
TO GET HIS OLD JOB BACK.
SO THOMAS STARTED TO SHUNT
THE FREIGHT CARS AWAY.
THOMAS WORKED VERY HARD.
HE FELT VERY PLEASED
WITH HIMSELF.
THEN THOMAS SAW
ONE LAST FREIGHT CAR.
IT HAD ROLLED IN FRONT
OF AN OLD MINE SHAFT.
"I'’LL SOON FIX THAT!"
THOMAS SMILED.
THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.
THOMAS BIFFED THE CAR TOO HARD!
IT ROLLED FORWARD
AND DISAPPEARED INTO THE MINE!
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
EXCLAIMED THOMAS.
"WHERE DID THAT FREIGHT CAR GO?"
THOMAS ROLLED FORWARD
AND PEERED INSIDE.
IT WAS VERY DARK.
"I MUST FINISH THE JOB!"
HE HUFFED.
"I'’LL SOON FIND THAT CAR."
AND THOMAS
PUFFED INTO THE MINE.
IT WAS VERY DARK.
THOMAS WAS HAPPY
HE HAD A BRIGHT LAMP.
HE SAW THE FREIGHT CAR
ROLLING AWAY.
THEN IT DISAPPEARED
AROUND A BEND!
"BUST MY BUFFERS!"
PUFFED THOMAS.
"I'’D BETTER GO AFTER IT!"
THE SLOPE WAS VERY STEEP!
THOMAS WHIZZED DOWN IT
AND CLATTERED AROUND THE BEND!

AND DOWN HE WHIZZED!

"WHEE-HEE!"

"WHOAAA!"
HE CRIED.
IT WAS VERY SCARY,
BUT IT WAS VERY EXCITING!
THOMAS HAD ALMOST CAUGHT UP
TO THE FREIGHT CAR.
"YOU WON'’T GET AWAY FROM ME!"
HE WHISTLED HAPPILY.
BUT THOMAS DIDN'’T SEE
THE JUNCTION AHEAD!
THE FREIGHT CAR
WHIZZED DOWN THE RIGHT TRACK
AND THOMAS SPED DOWN THE LEFT!
THOMAS HAD LOST
THE RUNAWAY CAR!
BUT HIS ROLLER COASTER RIDE
WAS SO MUCH FUN...
THOMAS SOON FORGOT
ABOUT THE FREIGHT CAR!
THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.
THE TUNNEL AHEAD WAS BLOCKED!
"OH, NO!"
CRIED THOMAS.
HE APPLIED HIS BRAKES,
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE!
THOMAS CRASHED STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BLOCKED TUNNEL!
[ Crash! Bang! ]
WITH A MIGHTY SPLASH,
THOMAS LANDED
IN A POOL OF WATER!
"OH! FRIZZLING FIREBOXES!
THIS TUNNEL IS FLOODED!"
HE GASPED.
IT DIDN'’T FEEL FUN ANYMORE.
IT FELT SCARY.
"I WISH I WAS BACK
AT GREAT WATERTON,"
HE WHEESHED QUIETLY.
THOMAS DRIFTED SLOWLY FORWARD.
THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO.
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
THOMAS GASPED AS HE FLOATED ALONG THE TUNNEL.
HE TOOTED AS LOUDLY
AS HE COULD.
"HELP!"
HE CRIED.
BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE
TO HEAR HIS WHISTLE.
"NO ONE WILL FIND ME NOW!"
THOMAS WAILED.
NO ONE WILL WANT TO FIND ME."

THE NEXT MORNING,
STANLEY, JAMES, GORDON, PERCY,

HAD ARRIVED FOR WORK.
"WHERE'’S THOMAS?"
STANLEY ASKED.
THE ENGINES LOOKED...
THOMAS WASN'’T THERE.
THEY ALL THOUGHT HARD.
NO ONE KNEW WHERE THOMAS WAS.
JAMES WAS WORRIED.
HE ASKED THE LITTLE ENGINES
AT THE JUNCTION,
"HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN THOMAS?"
JAMES PUFFED.
NONE OF THE LITTLE ENGINES
HAD SEEN THOMAS EITHER.
PERCY CALLED
JACK AND HIS TEAM TOGETHER.

"WE CAN'’T FIND THOMAS,"
PERCY PEEPED.
"DO YOU KNOW
WHERE HE'’S GONE?"

ALONG THE TUNNEL,

HE WAS MOVING FASTER.
"BUST MY BUFFERS!"
HE CRIED AS HE RACED THROUGH THE TUNNEL.

"SIR, THOMAS HAS DISAPPEARED,"
EDWARD PUFFED.
"NO ONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS!"
WHISTLED EMILY.
"AND I MISS HIM!"
PEEPED PERCY.
"THIS IS VERY STRANGE,"

TO FIND THOMAS AT ONCE.

HOW IMPORTANT THOMAS WAS.
HE CHUFFED AWAY THOUGHTFULLY.

STANLEY ARRIVED AT THE SIDINGS.

WAS WAITING FOR HIM.
BUT STANLEY WASN'’T THINKING
ABOUT FREIGHT CARS.
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THOMAS.
STANLEY THOUGHT BACK TO THE DAY
WHEN THOMAS SAW HIM
PULLING ANNIE AND CLARABEL.
AND HE REMEMBERED THE EVENING
AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
WHEN THOMAS WAS UPSET BECAUSE
STANLEY WAS IN HIS BERTH.
THEN, STANLEY REMEMBERED
THOMAS'’ FACE
AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

HE'’S A SAD ENGINE,"

THOMAS COULD DO NOTHING

STANLEY HAD LOOKED EVERYWHERE.
HE COULDN'’T FIND THOMAS.
SOON HE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK
TO WORK AT GREAT WATERTON.

AND THE TOWER TUMBLED DOWN.

"I WISH I HADN'’T MADE STANLEY

"I DIDN'’T LIKE HIM

THERE ARE WINDMILLS

"PLEASE LOOK
AFTER THOMAS!"
"MR. PERCIVAL SAYS THAT
BECAUSE YOU MAINLINE ENGINES

"YES, WE DO!

"I CAN SHOW YOU A QUICK WAY
BACK TO THE WHARF.
"BUT YOU HAVE TO GO

"I LIKE HIGH BRIDGES!

TOWARD THE BRIDGE.

AND IT WAS VERY HIGH.
AND THE RAVINE WAS VERY DEEP.

HE FELT A LITTLE SCARED.
"I LIKE HIGH BRIDGES,

"IF I CHUFF SLOWLY,
I'’LL REACH THE OTHER SIDE

"I AM BRAVE AND I AM STRONG,
I'’LL GET TO THE WHARF,
AND IT WON'’T TAKE LONG!"

THE NARROW GAUGE CONTROLLER...
WHO TOLD HAROLD...
WHO IMMEDIATELY FLEW OFF

SIR TOPHAM HATT
HAD BEEN HAVING TEA
WHEN HAROLD ARRIVED.
"THOMAS HAS DISCOVERED
A HIDDEN TOWN!"
SHOUTED HAROLD.
SIR TOPHAM HATT
WAS VERY EXCITED.
"TAKE ME TO THOMAS AT ONCE!"
HE BOOMED.
SOON, THOMAS
AND SIR TOPHAM HATT
ARRIVED AT THE HIDDEN TOWN.
"HERE IT IS, SIR!"
THOMAS WHEESHED.
SIR TOPHAM HATT BEAMED
FROM EAR TO EAR.
"THOMAS, YOU HAVE MADE
A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
THIS IS THE TOWN
OF GREAT WATERTON!"
THOMAS GASPED!
HE AND THE OTHER ENGINES
HAD HEARD STORIES
ABOUT GREAT WATERTON.
"WHEN STEAM ENGINES
FIRST CAME TO SODOR,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT SAID,
"THIS WAS THE MAIN TOWN.
"IT WAS CALLED GREAT WATERTON.
THE WATERWORKS HERE
PROVIDED WATER FOR EVERYONE."
"WHY DOES NO ONE
LIVE HERE NOW?"
PUFFED THOMAS.
"ALL THE PEOPLE LEFT
TO LIVE IN NEW TOWNS.
"AND EVERYONE THOUGHT
THE TOWN OF GREAT WATERTON
WAS LOST FOREVER."
"BUT NOW IT IS FOUND!"
CHEERED THOMAS.
"THANKS TO YOU, THOMAS,"
SMILED SIR TOPHAM HATT
"I WILL TELEPHONE
THE MAYOR STRAIGHT AWAY.
I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU!"
THOMAS FELT REALLY IMPORTANT.
"THANK YOU, SIR,"
HE TOOTED.
"HOORAY!"
SIR TOPHAM HATT
ARRIVED AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
THE OTHER ENGINES
WERE VERY PROUD OF THOMAS.
"THE TOWN OF GREAT WATERTON
IS TO BE RESTORED
IN TIME FOR SODOR DAY!"
HE BOOMED.
"THE RESTORATION
WILL BE A LOT OF WORK."
PERCY WAS PUZZLED.
"WHAT'’S RESTORATION?"
HE WHEESHED QUIETLY.
"RESTORATION,"
GROANED GORDON LOUDLY.
"THAT IS WHEN
YOU MAKE SOMETHING VERY OLD,
LOOK NEW AGAIN."
"THERE ARE
MANY JOBS TO BE DONE,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT ADDED.
ALL THE ENGINES WERE PLEASED.
SIR TOPHAM HATT GAVE EACH
OF THE ENGINES IMPORTANT JOBS.

BACK AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS,
SIR TOPHAM HATT
WAS TALKING TO THOMAS.
"THOMAS, YOU ARE TO FIND
ALL THE LOST AND HIDDEN TRACKS
AROUND THE TOWN."
THOMAS WAS PLEASED!
"AND BECAUSE
YOU DISCOVERED
GREAT WATERTON,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT ADDED.
"I AM ALSO GIVING YOU
THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF ALL.
"YOU ARE TO BE IN CHARGE
OF ALL THE WORK."
"FIZZLING FIREBOXES!"
PUFFED THOMAS PROUDLY.
"I AM BRINGING
AN ENGINE
"FROM THE MAINLAND
TO DO
YOUR USUAL JOBS,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT ADDED.
THOMAS DIDN'’T TAKE
ANY NOTICE OF THIS,
HE WAS TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT
BEING IN CHARGE OF ALL THE WORK AT GREAT WATERTON.
THE NEXT MORNING,
SIR TOPHAM HATT
ARRIVED AT BRENDHAM DOCKS
TO MEET THE NEW ENGINE.
EVEN CRANKY WAS EXCITED!
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND OF PISTONS PUMPING.
FROM BEHIND THE CLOUD OF STEAM,
A NEW TANK ENGINE
PUFFED SLOWLY OUT.
HE WAS SHINIER AND BIGGER
AND STRONGER THAN THOMAS.
"THIS IS STANLEY,"
BOOMED SIR TOPHAM HATT,
"WELCOME TO SODOR, STANLEY."
"OH, MY, MY,"
GASPED HENRY.
"WHATEVER
WILL THOMAS SAY?"
THOMAS DIDN'’T KNOW
THAT STANLEY HAD ARRIVED.
HE HAD BEEN BUSY.
HE HAD ALREADY FOUND
A LOT OF HIDDEN TRACKS.
THOMAS PUFFED PROUDLY ALONG
TO HIS NEW ENGINE SHED.
JAMES HUFFED UP.
"LOOK AT MY NEW SHED!"
THOMAS TOOTED GRANDLY.
"WHILE I'’M IN CHARGE,
I WON'’T HAVE TIME
TO PUFF BACK TO TIDMOUTH!"
BUT JAMES WASN'’T INTERESTED
IN THOMAS'’ SHED.
"I'’VE JUST MET
THE NEW ENGINE,"
SNORTED JAMES.
"HE'’S CALLED STANLEY.
"HE'’S VERY FRIENDLY.
"EVERYONE LIKES HIM.
HE'’S DOING YOUR JOBS VERY WELL."
THOMAS WAS SURPRISED.
SUDDENLY, HIS NEW SHED
DIDN'’T SEEM SO IMPORTANT.
THE NEXT DAY,
THOMAS HAD TO PULL
HEAVY FREIGHT CARS OF STONE
TO THE DOCKS
HE STOPPED AT THE WASH-DOWN.
HE SAW A SHINY NEW TANK ENGINE.
"THAT MUST BE STANLEY,"
HE PUFFED TO HIMSELF.
STANLEY AND PERCY
WERE PLAYING AND JOKING.
BOTH ENGINES
HAD TOLD THE WORKMEN
TO POUR ON MORE BUBBLES.
PERCY WAS GIGGLING
AND STANLEY WAS LAUGHING
EVEN LOUDER.
THOMAS FELT LEFT OUT.
[ Toot-Toot! ]
HE TOOTED TO HIS FRIEND,
BUT PERCY WAS TOO BUSY
HAVING FUN.
HE DIDN'’T NOTICE THOMAS.
THOMAS PUFFED ON.
HE WAS UPSET.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
LATER, THOMAS STOPPED
AT A JUNCTION.
GORDON WAS WAITING.
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
SUDDENLY,
WITH A WHOOSH AND A WHISTLE,
STANLEY RACED ONTO THE
MAIN LINE
WITH ANNIE AND CLARABEL.
THEY WERE HAVING
A WONDERFUL TIME!
THEY CLATTERED
STRAIGHT PAST THOMAS.
"STANLEY KNOWS
HOW TO HAVE FUN,"
GORDON DECLARED.
THOMAS WATCHED
STANLEY DISAPPEAR.
HE DIDN'’T THINK
IT WAS FUN AT ALL.
THAT NIGHT, THOMAS PUFFED
INTO TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
HE WAS VERY TIRED.
TONIGHT, HE WANTED
TO BE WITH HIS FRIENDS.
[ Gasp! ]
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
HE GASPED.
STANLEY WAS IN HIS BERTH!
STANLEY BLEW A HIGH SOUND
FROM HIS WHISTLE.
THEN GORDON BLEW A LOW SOUND.
AND EMILY TREMBLED A SOUND
NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD BEFORE!
ALL THE ENGINES WHOOSHED
AND WHEESHED WITH LAUGHTER.
"HELLO!
YOU MUST BE THOMAS!"
WHISTLED STANLEY.
"HELLO, THOMAS!"
CHUCKLED THE OTHER ENGINES.
BUT THOMAS WASN'’T CHUCKLING.
HE DIDN'’T LIKE
STANLEY DOING HIS JOBS.
OR PULLING HIS PASSENGER CARS
OR BEING EVERYONE'’S
BEST FRIEND.
BUT LAUGHING IN HIS BERTH
AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS
WAS WORST OF ALL!
"I HAVE TO GET BACK
TO GREAT WATERTON!"
HE HUFFED.
"I HAVE WORK TO DO."
AND HE CHUFFED QUICKLY AWAY.
THOMAS WISHED STANLEY
HAD NEVER COME TO SODOR.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THE NEXT DAY,
THOMAS WAS EXTRA BUSY.
HE WANTED EVERYONE TO SEE
HE WAS BETTER THAN STANLEY.
[ Wheesh! ]
THOMAS COLLECTED JACK.
"I NEED YOU ALL TO WORK HARDER
THAN YOU'’VE EVER WORKED!"
HE TOOTED TO JACK.
"DON'’T WORRY, THOMAS.
"ALFIE, NED AND OLIVER
ARE THE BEST!
"AND MONTY AND MAX
ARE DUMPING SUCH HEAVY LOADS,
THEY'’RE GETTING DIZZY!"
THOMAS SMILED.
HE LIKED BEING IN CHARGE.
THOMAS WANTED TO SHOW EVERYONE
HE COULD DO EVERYTHING!
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
NEXT, HE WAS PULLING
SOME HEAVY FREIGHT CARS.
THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.
THOMAS WAS PUFFING
TOO FAST ROUND THE BEND.
HE TOPPLED OFF THE TRACK!
[ Crash! ]
HIS LOAD CRASHED DOWN THE BANK!
"OH, NO!"
CRIED THOMAS.
LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT ARRIVED
WITH EDWARD AND ROCKY.
HE WAS CROSS.
"THOMAS, YOU MUST GO
TO THE REPAIR YARD."
THOMAS DIDN'’T WANT
TO GO TO THE REPAIR YARD.
HE WANTED TO STAY IN CHARGE.
"STANLEY WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE
IN CHARGE OF THE WORK
AT GREAT WATERTON,"
ADDED SIR TOPHAM HATT.
THIS WAS THE WORST NEWS
EVER FOR THOMAS!
HE WAS SO UPSET!
ROCKY LOWERED THOMAS
ONTO EDWARD'’S FLATBED.
SLOWLY, EDWARD PUFFED AWAY
FROM GREAT WATERTON.
EDWARD HAD TO STOP AT A SIGNAL.
STANLEY CHUFFED CHEERFULLY
TOWARDS THEM.
"BAD LUCK, THOMAS!"
HE WHISTLED
AND HE PUFFED AWAY.
IN THE DISTANCE THEY COULD HEAR THE OTHER ENGINES CHEER.
"WELCOME, STANLEY!"
THOMAS WAS CROSS.
"I FOUND GREAT WATERTON,"
HE HOOTED.
"I'’LL BE BACK!
"I'’LL BE IN CHARGE AGAIN!
THEN EVERYONE WILL SEE
I'’M MORE USEFUL THAN STANLEY!"
EDWARD'’S SIGNAL CHANGED TO GO
AND HE PUFFED ON.
SOON, THOMAS WAS
AS GOOD AS NEW!
"NOW I CAN GET BACK TO MY JOB
AT GREAT WATERTON,"
HE TOOTED.
THOMAS COULDN'’T WAIT.
HE CHUFFED CHEERILY
OUT OF THE REPAIR YARD.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THOMAS WAS VERY HAPPY
TO SEE HIS FRIEND PERCY.
"HELLO, PERCY,"
HE TOOTED.
"I THOUGHT TOBY
WAS TO PICK UP WORKMEN."
"HELLO, THOMAS.
"STANLEY HAS GIVEN ME EXTRA JOBS
"BECAUSE HE SAYS
I GIVE VERY SMOOTH RIDES!"
PEEPED PERCY PROUDLY.
"TOMORROW, STANLEY AND I
ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER
ON THE TOWER!"
THOMAS DIDN'’T WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT STANLEY.
HE WAS UPSET.
NEXT, THOMAS FOUND
JACK, MONTY AND MAX.
THEY WERE VERY BUSY.
"COME ON, MONTY AND MAX,
LET'’S MAKE STANLEY PROUD!"
JACK CRIED.
"HE'’S ASKED US
TO FILL IN THREE HOLES
AND WE'’VE ONLY FILLED IN ONE."
"HELLO!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
BUT JACK, MONTY AND MAX
WERE TOO BUSY TO NOTICE HIM.
THOMAS WAS EVEN MORE UPSET.
HE FELT AS IF
HE DIDN'’T MATTER AT ALL.
HE PUFFED SADLY AWAY.
BUT THOMAS FORGOT
ALL ABOUT FEELING SAD
WHEN HE CHUFFED
INTO GREAT WATERTON STATION.
IT WAS STARTING TO LOOK
AS IT MUST HAVE DONE LONG AGO.
"BUBBLING BOILERS!"
HE CRIED.
"THIS IS VERY EXCITING!"
THEN THOMAS SAW STANLEY.
HE WAS WITH SIR TOPHAM HATT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT SAW THOMAS.
"COME HERE!"
HE BOOMED.
[ Toot-Toot! ]
"HELLO, THOMAS!"
STEAMED STANLEY.
[ Toot-Toot! ]
THOMAS TOOTED BACK.
BUT VERY QUIETLY.
"STANLEY HAS DONE A GOOD JOB.
WORK IS MOVING FAST,"
SIR TOPHAM HATT DECLARED.
"SO I HAVE DECIDED,"
HE ADDED,
"THAT STANLEY
WILL STAY IN CHARGE
AND YOU WILL HELP HIM."
THOMAS'’ FUNNEL FLATTENED!
STANLEY WAS TO STAY IN CHARGE?
THOMAS HAD LOST
THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF ALL!
THE JOB HE WANTED
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE!
THAT AFTERNOON,
STANLEY ASKED THOMAS
TO SHUNT SOME FREIGHT CARS.
"YOU'’RE THE BEST SHUNTER EVER,
THOMAS!"
STANLEY CHUFFED CHEERILY.
"I WILL BE BACK
FOR THE FREIGHT CARS VERY SOON."
THOMAS WAS VERY GOOD
AT SHUNTING FREIGHT CARS
AND HE ALSO REALLY LIKED
SHUNTING FREIGHT CARS.
BUT HE DIDN'’T REALLY LIKE STANLEY TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO.
THOMAS CHUFFED UNHAPPILY
TO THE FREIGHT CARS.
HE WANTED THINGS
BACK THE WAY THEY WERE...
BEFORE STANLEY
HAD ARRIVED ON THE ISLAND.
THOMAS SHUNTED
LOTS OF FREIGHT CARS.
STANLEY HAD TO TAKE THEM UP
THE STEEP HILL OUT OF THE TOWN
TO THE WHARF.
SUDDENLY, AN IDEA
FLEW INTO THOMAS'’ FUNNEL.
"IF I SHUNT AN EXTRA LONG LINE
OF FREIGHT CARS
STANLEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO PULL THEM!"
HE PUFFED TO HIMSELF.
"EVERYONE WILL SEE
HE'’S NOT SO STRONG AFTER ALL!
THEN I WILL BE
IN CHARGE AGAIN!"
SOON, THE CARS WERE READY.
THEY WERE VERY, VERY HEAVY.
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
STANLEY CHUFFED BACK.
"MY! THAT'’S A LONG TRAIN!"
HE PUFFED.
"NOT FOR A STRONG ENGINE
LIKE YOU!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
BUT THOMAS KNEW IT WAS
TOO LONG AND TOO HEAVY!
[♪ Music ♪]
STANLEY STARTED UP THE HILL.
IT WAS VERY STEEP.
STANLEY WAS DOING HIS BEST.
STANLEY WAS USING ALL HIS HUFF
AND ALL HIS PUFF.
THE TRUCKS CLANKED AND CREAKED.
THE TRAIN WAS FAR TOO HEAVY!
STANLEY'’S WHEELS SPUN AND SLID.
SUDDENLY THE COUPLING SNAPPED
AND STANLEY'’S TRUCKS
ROLLED AWAY...
FASTER AND FASTER!
THE ENGINES GASPED
AS STANLEY'’S TRAIN
CAME RACING DOWN THE HILL!
IT SMASHED INTO THE TOWER!
[ Crash! ]
AS THE TOWER CRASHED
TO THE GROUND,
BRICKS AND DUST
EXPLODED EVERYWHERE!
ALL THE HARD WORK WAS WASTED.
THE ENGINES GASPED IN HORROR.
AND THOMAS FELT WORST OF ALL.
HE KNEW IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT.
SIR TOPHAM HATT AND MISS JENNY
CAME TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
"THIS IS A DISASTER!"
BOOMED SIR TOPHAM HATT.
"THOMAS,"
HE ASKED,
"WHY DID YOU SHUNT
SO MANY FREIGHT CARS
FOR STANLEY?"
THOMAS FELT TERRIBLE.
HE KNEW WHY HE HAD DONE IT,
BUT HE COULDN'’T TELL
SIR TOPHAM HATT
AND THE OTHER ENGINES.
HE FELT TOO ASHAMED.
SO, HE SAID NOTHING.
SIR TOPHAM HATT WAS VERY CROSS.
THE OTHER ENGINES
STARTED TO WHISPER.
"THOMAS DOESN'’T LIKE STANLEY,"
SNORTED JAMES.
"THAT'’S WHY HE SHUNTED
TOO MANY FREIGHT CARS FOR HIM."
"WHY WOULD THOMAS
DO SUCH A THING?"
ASKED TOBY.
"THOMAS WOULD NEVER DO THAT,"
PEEPED PERCY.
BUT HE WAS WORRIED.
THOMAS FELT VERY BAD.
HE PUFFED SLOWLY AWAY.
[ Brakes Wheesh! ]
THOMAS FOUND AN OLD TRACK.
HE WANTED TO BE ALONE.
"THE OTHER ENGINES
DON'’T WANT ME AROUND,"
HE PUFFED SADLY.
"THEY WISH
I WASN'’T HERE AT ALL."
STANLEY PUFFED TOWARDS THOMAS.
HE SAW THAT THOMAS
LOOKED SAD AND ALONE.
"THOMAS FEELS BAD,"
HE CHUFFED TO HIMSELF.
HE FELT VERY SORRY FOR HIM.
LATER SIR TOPHAM HATT
CALLED THE ENGINES TOGETHER.
"NOW, GREAT WATERTON MAY NOT
BE READY FOR SODOR DAY,"
HE ANNOUNCED STERNLY.
THE ENGINES GASPED!
"MISS JENNY'’S CREW
WILL LOAD THE RUBBLE
"INTO THE FREIGHT CARS TONIGHT.
"BUT THIS MEANS
EXTRA WORK
FOR ALL OF YOU!"
HE ADDED.
"TOMORROW,
YOU WILL START
"TO SHUNT
THE FREIGHT CARS
AWAY TO
THE SIDINGS."
THOMAS HAD LET DOWN
SIR TOPHAM HATT,
HE HAD LET DOWN
THE OTHER ENGINES,
AND HE HAD LET HIMSELF DOWN.
THE OTHER ENGINES
STARTED TO CHUFF AWAY.
NO ONE SPOKE TO THOMAS.
HE WAS NO LONGER IN CHARGE.
AND HE FELT
HE WAS NO LONGER WANTED.
THAT NIGHT,
ALL THE OTHER ENGINES
WERE ASLEEP IN THEIR SHEDS.
BUT NOT THOMAS.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
[ Wheesh! ]
JACK AND ALFIE HAD ALREADY
LOADED THEIR CARS OF RUBBLE.
"IF I SHUNT ALL THE FREIGHT
CARS AWAY TO THE SIDINGS,
"THE TRACKS WILL BE CLEAR
IN THE MORNING.
THEN EVERYONE
WILL LIKE ME AGAIN!"
THOMAS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING
TO GET HIS OLD JOB BACK.
SO THOMAS STARTED TO SHUNT
THE FREIGHT CARS AWAY.
THOMAS WORKED VERY HARD.
HE FELT VERY PLEASED
WITH HIMSELF.
THEN THOMAS SAW
ONE LAST FREIGHT CAR.
IT HAD ROLLED IN FRONT
OF AN OLD MINE SHAFT.
"I'’LL SOON FIX THAT!"
THOMAS SMILED.
THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.
THOMAS BIFFED THE CAR TOO HARD!
IT ROLLED FORWARD
AND DISAPPEARED INTO THE MINE!
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
EXCLAIMED THOMAS.
"WHERE DID THAT FREIGHT CAR GO?"
THOMAS ROLLED FORWARD
AND PEERED INSIDE.
IT WAS VERY DARK.
"I MUST FINISH THE JOB!"
HE HUFFED.
"I'’LL SOON FIND THAT CAR."
AND THOMAS
PUFFED INTO THE MINE.
IT WAS VERY DARK.
THOMAS WAS HAPPY
HE HAD A BRIGHT LAMP.
HE SAW THE FREIGHT CAR
ROLLING AWAY.
THEN IT DISAPPEARED
AROUND A BEND!
"BUST MY BUFFERS!"
PUFFED THOMAS.
"I'’D BETTER GO AFTER IT!"
THE SLOPE WAS VERY STEEP!
THOMAS WHIZZED DOWN IT
AND CLATTERED AROUND THE BEND!
UP THOMAS WHOOSHED
AND DOWN HE WHIZZED!
[ Toot-Toot-Toot! ]
"WHEE-HEE!"
THOMAS WHISTLED. AND,
"WHOAAA!"
HE CRIED.
IT WAS VERY SCARY,
BUT IT WAS VERY EXCITING!
THOMAS HAD ALMOST CAUGHT UP
TO THE FREIGHT CAR.
"YOU WON'’T GET AWAY FROM ME!"
HE WHISTLED HAPPILY.
BUT THOMAS DIDN'’T SEE
THE JUNCTION AHEAD!
THE FREIGHT CAR
WHIZZED DOWN THE RIGHT TRACK
AND THOMAS SPED DOWN THE LEFT!
THOMAS HAD LOST
THE RUNAWAY CAR!
BUT HIS ROLLER COASTER RIDE
WAS SO MUCH FUN...
THOMAS SOON FORGOT
ABOUT THE FREIGHT CAR!
THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.
THE TUNNEL AHEAD WAS BLOCKED!
"OH, NO!"
CRIED THOMAS.
HE APPLIED HIS BRAKES,
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE!
THOMAS CRASHED STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BLOCKED TUNNEL!
[ Crash! Bang! ]
WITH A MIGHTY SPLASH,
THOMAS LANDED
IN A POOL OF WATER!
"OH! FRIZZLING FIREBOXES!

HE GASPED.
IT DIDN'’T FEEL FUN ANYMORE.
IT FELT SCARY.
"I WISH I WAS BACK
AT GREAT WATERTON,"
HE WHEESHED QUIETLY.
THOMAS DRIFTED SLOWLY FORWARD.
THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO.
"CINDERS AND ASHES!"
THOMAS GASPED AS HE FLOATED ALONG THE TUNNEL.
HE TOOTED AS LOUDLY
AS HE COULD.
"HELP!"
HE CRIED.
BUT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE
TO HEAR HIS WHISTLE.
"NO ONE WILL FIND ME NOW!"
THOMAS WAILED.
NO ONE WILL WANT TO FIND ME."

THE NEXT MORNING,
STANLEY, JAMES, GORDON, PERCY,
EDWARD, HENRY, EMILY AND TOBY
HAD ARRIVED FOR WORK.
"WHERE'’S THOMAS?"
STANLEY ASKED.
THE ENGINES LOOKED...
THOMAS WASN'’T THERE.
THEY ALL THOUGHT HARD.
NO ONE KNEW WHERE THOMAS WAS.
JAMES WAS WORRIED.
HE ASKED THE LITTLE ENGINES
AT THE JUNCTION,
"HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN THOMAS?"
JAMES PUFFED.

TO FIND THOMAS AT ONCE.

STANLEY ALSO KNEW
HOW IMPORTANT THOMAS WAS.
HE CHUFFED AWAY THOUGHTFULLY.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
STANLEY ARRIVED AT THE SIDINGS.
A TRAIN OF FREIGHT CARS
WAS WAITING FOR HIM.
BUT STANLEY WASN'’T THINKING
ABOUT FREIGHT CARS.
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THOMAS.
STANLEY THOUGHT BACK TO THE DAY
WHEN THOMAS SAW HIM
PULLING ANNIE AND CLARABEL.
AND HE REMEMBERED THE EVENING
AT TIDMOUTH SHEDS.
WHEN THOMAS WAS UPSET BECAUSE
STANLEY WAS IN HIS BERTH.
THEN, STANLEY REMEMBERED
THOMAS'’ FACE
AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
"THOMAS ISN'’T A BAD ENGINE;
HE'’S A SAD ENGINE,"
STANLEY PUFFED SLOWLY.
"I WONDER IF HE HAS RUN AWAY
"BECAUSE HE THINKS
NO ONE LIKES HIM ANYMORE.
"MAYBE THOMAS IS HIDING
UP IN THE HIDDEN HILLS.
"I'’LL LOOK FOR HIM THERE.
I MUST TELL HIM

AND STANLEY WHOOSHED AWAY
TO THE HILLS.
IN THE DARK TUNNEL,
THOMAS WAS VERY SCARED.
HE WAS WASHED AND WAVED
FORWARD.
HIS FIRE HAD GONE OUT
AND HIS BOILER WAS COLD.

STANLEY WAS HIGH UP
IN THE HILLS.
"WHERE ARE YOU, THOMAS?

HE WHISTLED.
BUT ONLY HIS ECHO CAME BACK.

HE FLEW ACROSS A RAVINE AND HIT THE GROUND WITH A BUMP.

THOMAS SLITHERED TO A STOP
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.
HE WAS STUCK!
THOMAS SAW HE HAD LANDED
NEXT TO AN OLD TRACK.
"BUT HOW AM I GOING
TO GET ONTO IT?"
HE CRIED.
THOMAS COULD DO NOTHING
BUT WAIT...
AND HOPE.
STANLEY HAD LOOKED EVERYWHERE.
HE COULDN'’T FIND THOMAS.
SOON HE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK
TO WORK AT GREAT WATERTON.
[ Chug-Chug-Chug-Chug... ]
THOMAS WAS THINKING ABOUT

HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE TOWER
AND THE MOMENT STANLEY'’S
FREIGHT CARS SMASHED INTO IT,
AND THE TOWER TUMBLED DOWN.
[ Crash! ]
"I WISH I HADN'’T MADE STANLEY
PULL ALL THOSE FREIGHT CARS.
"I DIDN'’T LIKE HIM

TO GREAT WATERTON.

HE GASPED!

BACK TO THE BRANCH LINE.

"THOMAS!"
HE WHISTLED HAPPILY.
"IS THAT YOU?"

THOMAS HAD RUN OUT OF PUFF.
HE COULDN'’T WHISTLE AGAIN.

THEN, THOMAS SAW STANLEY
CHUFFING AROUND THE BEND.
"STANLEY!"
HE CRIED.
"I'’M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU!"
"THOMAS!"
WHISTLED STANLEY.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
DID YOU RUN AWAY?"
"NO,"
TOOTED THOMAS SADLY.
"I WAS TRYING TO BE

THEN, THOMAS TOLD STANLEY
ALL ABOUT HIS
ADVENTURE IN THE MINE.
STANLEY WAS AMAZED!
"STANLEY,"

"I'’M SORRY THAT
I WAS HORRIBLE TO YOU.
"I WAS WRONG.

WAS HOOKED UP TO THOMAS.

THERE WAS A LOT OF WATER
IN HIS FIREBOX.
STANLEY DIDN'’T GIVE UP.
"I CAN DO IT!"
HE WHEESHED.
AND WITH A MIGHTY HEAVE,
STANLEY PULLED HIS FRIEND
BACK ONTO THE TRACK!
"HOORAY!"
TOOTED THOMAS.
THEN THERE WAS
A VERY LOUD CRACK!
THE VALVE IN STANLEY'’S BOILER
HAD BURST!
STANLEY WAS
A VERY STRONG ENGINE,
BUT PULLING THOMAS
HAD BEEN TOO MUCH!

STANLEY FELT VERY SAD.
"DON'’T WORRY!"
WHISTLED THOMAS.
"IT'’S MY TURN TO HELP YOU!
I'’LL SHUNT YOU HOME."
STANLEY SMILED.
THOMAS WAS HIS NEW FRIEND.
THERE WAS NOTHING THOMAS
WOULDN'’T DO FOR STANLEY.
