00:00Roadhog!
00:01Sorry, Bulgy!
00:02Important delayed mail coming through!
00:03Hmph.

00:29THOMAS AND THE ROYAL ENGINE
00:35Sir!
00:36Sir!
00:37Percy?!
00:38Whatever is the matter?
00:39Sorry, sir!
00:40But there's a very important letter we forgot to deliver to you.
00:43I've seen this kind of letter before.
00:46But that was when we had a visit from...
00:49...the Queen!
00:50THE QUEEN?!
00:51the Queen.
00:52The Queen?
00:56Is she coming to see us again?
00:58Who will be pulling her train?
00:59Oh, wait a minute.
01:03I've not read the letter yet.
01:06Her Majesty, the Queen,
01:09requests the company of Sir Topham Hatt,
01:12who is to receive a special award for his services to the railway.
01:17Hooray!
01:19Uh-oh.
01:21Please attend Buckingham Palace, London,
01:25at three o'clock on Wednesday.
01:28Ha-ha-ha.
01:29Huh? But that's tomorrow.
01:32Tomorrow?
01:33No, we must do something.
01:34All right. Settle down now, please.
01:37There's more to read.
01:39Ha-ha-ha.
01:40Ahem.
01:42Also, by the way,
01:44Also, by request of the young prince,
01:48the engine that brings you to London must be...
01:55Thomas the Tank Engine.
01:58Oh!
02:00Thomas?
02:02Sorry I'm late, sir.
02:04You see, a cow strayed on the line and we had to...
02:08Ah.
02:09Ah.
02:10Ah.
02:12Ah.
02:13What? I'm not that late, am I?
02:15Not at all, Thomas.
02:17In fact, I need you to have an early night,
02:20so you'll be ready for a very important trip tomorrow morning.
02:24We're off to meet the Queen.
02:27Ah.
02:29One, two, three, four.

03:35["The Queen Is Coming To Town"]
03:39Perfect!
03:42Wow, Thomas! Look at you, all spick and span!
03:47What I don't understand is why you, Thomas, were chosen and not me.
03:52I know the way to London, after all, and have been there before, you know.
03:58Ha-ha-ha! Not the station names again, Gordon.
04:02I just wish they would make up their minds on what to call London Station.
04:06But that still doesn't answer my question.
04:09Why, Thomas, he doesn't even know the way.
04:12Because the young prince has specifically requested him, Gordon.
04:17And I must comply.
04:19-'Topper!' -'Oh, hello, Mother.'
04:21-'Have you got everything?' -'Yes, Mother.'
04:24-'Speech?' -'Yes, Mother.'
04:25-'Handkerchief?' -'Yes, I have everything.'
04:28-'And have you cleaned your ears?' -'Oh, Mother.'
04:30-'Stop moving about, you little potatoes!' -'No, I'm fine!'
04:33-'There, told you.' -'Thank you, Mother.'
04:36Ha-ha-ha!
04:38OK, Thomas, let's go!
04:41London calls!
04:45-'Bye! Bye, everyone! See you! Bye-bye!' -'Bye! Bye! See you! Bye-bye!'
04:53So there we were, the two of us all dressed up in our finery
04:58and heading to London to visit the Queen.
05:01What could possibly go wrong?
05:10Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!
05:11Your Majesty!
05:13Ahem! I am...
05:15Ahem! Honoured to be here on this, er...
05:19suspicious, er...
05:21No, bother.
05:22Er... auspicious occasion.
05:25And it gives me great pleasure to receive this award
05:29on behalf of my railway and all those working on it.
05:35Ooh!
05:37Thomas, are you sure this is the right way?
05:41I think so, sir.
05:43I know I've seen this place before, but I can't seem to remember...
05:46What?
05:49Oh!
05:52Oh, botheration.
05:55Who goes there?
05:57Beresford?
05:59Hold on. Is that...?
06:01It can't be.
06:04Is it...?
06:08It is!
06:09It's my little friend, Thomas.
06:11Oh-ho-ho-ho!
06:13Ooh! Look at you now.
06:16Ah! My banner!
06:18Banner? What do you need a banner for?
06:21We're on our way to meet the Queen and we're running a little behind.
06:25Oh, Mr. Ladida, eh?
06:28He-he-he!
06:30You certainly are going up in the world, my friend.
06:34Ah, you're not kidding.
06:36Whoa!
06:37Please, Beresford, put me down.
06:41Gently, though. Whoa!
06:43But first, I don't suppose you know the way to London?
06:48Why, sure I know the way.
06:51Straight down those tracks and turn left at the next junction.
06:54Thomas, what are you doing up there with that crane?
06:59Sorry, sir. This is Beresford and he was just...
07:02Nice to meet you, Beresford, but we are in a hurry and cannot be held up.
07:07Er, yes.
07:08Anyway, now, if you could put Thomas back down, please,
07:12we can get going again. There's not much time left.
07:15Right.
07:17Whoa!
07:19Now, remember, it's left at the next junction.
07:22Right.
07:23No, left. You said right,
07:26whereas I said left when really I was right and you were left.
07:30Oh, you got me in a muddle now.
07:33I'd better be off now, Beresford.
07:36And, er, thanks for the directions.
07:39Oh, right-o, Thomas.
07:42Er, where's that left?
07:45Oh.
07:46Hmm.
07:48Right. Oh.
07:51WHISTLE BLOWS
07:57Ooh! London, here we come!
08:06Oh, no!
08:07Oh, no!
08:09Oh, no!
08:10Oh, no!
08:13GROWLING
08:17This doesn't look right.
08:23Oh, no!
08:25My other banner!
08:27What's the matter, Thomas?
08:29Oh! My hat!
08:32Oh! My suit!
08:38What am I going to do?
08:41I'll have to hide it so Her Majesty doesn't see it.
08:48WHISTLE BLOWS
08:53Argh!
08:55And all ball's working on it.
08:56Here's your hat, sir.
08:58Thank you, ma'am.
09:02Oh, maybe I should have taken the other track.
09:06Ouch!
09:08Oh.
09:10Oh, okay.
09:13Ha-ha!
09:14We should be on the right tracks now, sir.
09:18And then we'll be home and dry.
09:23Oh!
09:24Oh, pfft!
09:27Oh, no.
09:29I can't meet the Queen looking like this.
09:40Good heavens! What happened to you?
09:43Well, we were just...
09:45It's a long story.
09:46Could you tell me where I can get cleaned up?
09:49Certainly, sir. This way.
09:52And you'd better find a washdown too, Thomas.
09:55Hurry back now.
09:56I wonder where we are.
09:58Perhaps this is Crewe, where Henry went to be repaired.
10:03Or maybe Doncaster, where Gordon was built.
10:07Or maybe it's...
10:09And just what do you think you're doing with my coach,
10:12little tank engine?
10:14Ha! Your coach?
10:16But this is my coach.
10:17Well, technically, it's Spencer's.
10:20Oh, I can't waste time listening to your excuses.
10:23Now, couple it up to me and we'll forget all about it.
10:27I think you'll find that this coach belongs to this engine, Duchess.
10:31Your coaches are being checked over in the carriage works.
10:35Oh, right.
10:38Oh, I thought, um...
10:39Uh... Carriage works, you say?
10:42Oh, yes. Oh, of course.
10:46Excuse me.
10:50What a funny engine.
10:52Hm. Oh, well.
10:55Where's that washdown?
11:03Ah-ha!
11:05Now I can enjoy a good...
11:07Whoops! Hey!
11:09Whoa!
11:11Oh!
11:13Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.
11:16Ah-choo!
11:19Uh... Oh! You again.
11:25Oh, it's you.
11:27Uh, I'm... I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
11:30I thought you were taking one of my coaches,
11:32and I've very important passengers to collect, and it's my...
11:36Ah-choo!
11:38Bless you. Ha-ha.
11:40Oh, how rude of me. I should introduce myself.
11:43My name's Duchess. Duchess of Loughborough.
11:46And mine's Thomas.
11:49Thomas of Sodor.
11:51Now, where was I? Um...
11:53Did I...? Are you all right?
11:55What? Oh.
11:57No, there's still so much to be done.
11:59Um, getting cleaned, polished, finding my coaches,
12:03filling up with coal and water, getting polished,
12:06picking up my very important passengers.
12:09I'm sure I've forgotten something. Oh, did I say getting polished?
12:13All done now, Your Grace.
12:15Oh, what? Oh, thank you.
12:17And thank you for letting me go first, Thomas of Sodor.
12:21Hi.
12:23Where are my coaches? Oh, I remember.
12:25WHISTLE BLOWS
12:26Oh, at last.
12:34Sorry, mate. The water tank's empty.
12:36We'll need to refill again before we can wash you.
12:40But...
12:41Oh. Oh.
12:43WHISTLE BLOWS
12:51Oh, I thought you went to the washdown, Thomas.
12:55You look worse than before.
12:57I'm sorry, sir.
12:59There was a...
13:02delay.
13:03There's another washdown further down the line, sir.
13:07Oh, why don't I telephone them and let them know we're coming?
13:10Oh, right you are. Come this way.
13:12I'll have to see about buying a new suit when we get to London, Thomas.
13:16At least my hat is still in one piece.
13:27Oh! What?
13:30Oh, my hat!
13:33Oh...
13:35Oh, no. Two o'clock.
13:37We've got less than one hour to get to London.
13:39Thomas, we've got to get going.
13:42But, sir, we have to wait. The fire...
13:45Later, Thomas. Let's go.
13:47But, sir... Now, Thomas. Now!
13:50He's been sitting on it the whole time.
13:53HE CHUCKLES
13:54What? Oh, no. Wait a minute. Come back.
13:57Stop! Come back, Thomas.
14:01Without my fireman, my driver had to do everything by himself.
14:06I was moving at a very slow pace.
14:12Oh, hello again, Thomas of Sodor.
14:15Duchess, I see you got your coaches okay.
14:20Yes, thank you.
14:21Oh, and thank you for allowing me to go first at the washdown.
14:24That was very kind of you.
14:26Oh, not a problem.
14:29After all, engines help engines.
14:32Yes, but not every engine would have been so gallant.
14:36Certainly not after I'd been so rude to you.
14:40I was in such a tizzy about my important job, I just...
14:43I just didn't want anything to go wrong.
14:46Oh, and did you remember what it was you'd forgotten?
14:51Oh, I'm not sure.
14:54You know, I don't remember.
14:56Oh, well, it's too late to worry about it.
14:58Oh, I have an important delivery and I can't be late.
15:02I hope we'll meet again soon, Thomas the Gallant Engine.
15:07Farewell, good friend.
15:09Oh, farewell, Duchess.
15:14Come on, Thomas. Can't you go any faster?
15:17Yes, sir. I mean, oh, no, sir.
15:21Well, the thing is, sir,
15:25you wanted to leave so quickly,
15:27we left my fireman back at the station.
15:31What?
15:32Oh, dear, oh, dear.
15:38Then I shall be your fireman.
15:42What?
15:44B-b-but, sir, you'll get dirty.
15:48You can't run a useful railway
15:51without getting your hands dirty now and then.
15:54What's more important is that we get to London on time.
15:58Right, hand me that shovel, my good man,
16:02and let's get going. We've no time to lose.
16:18We were finally up to speed and making good progress.
16:21London, here we come!
16:28Huh? That looks like...
16:33Oh, it is!
16:46Thomas!
16:48Duchess!
16:49Oh, I wasn't expecting to see you this soon, Thomas.
16:53What happened to you?
16:54Oh, Thomas, my safety valve, it's burst.
16:58That's what I forgot to check over
17:01before I collected my very important passengers.
17:04And now they will be late for their very important appointment in London.
17:08London? But that's where I need to get to.
17:12Thomas, that's perfect!
17:15If you push me, then I can guide you.
17:19But, Thomas, we haven't time to stop and help.
17:22I can't just leave her here, sir.
17:25The Duchess knows her way to London, so that would be a big help to us.
17:30A big, big help, sir. Oh, ever so useful help, sir.
17:34Oh, very well, then. But let's get a move on.
17:38Now, are you sure you can push me and my heavy coaches?
17:42WHISTLE BLOWS
17:44Don't you worry about me.
17:48As I always say...
17:50Urgh! Little engines can do big things!
17:55Ha-ha! Yes, they certainly can.
18:20Thank you for helping me, Thomas of Sodor.
18:23That's quite all right. Thank you for helping me.
18:27WHISTLE BLOWS
18:28Once my important passengers depart, let me show you to a washdown.
18:32Ha-ha! Well, that is... I mean...
18:35Well, if you could give me a push.
18:38Of course I will. No problem.
18:42We made it!
18:44Only five minutes left.
18:46Oh, I just hope there's a tailor here at this station.
18:51Huh?
18:54GASPS
19:01Thomas, do you know what train you've rescued?
19:05Huh? A very... heavy one?
19:09It's the Royal Train.
19:11Royal Train?
19:13It's the Royal Train.
19:15What? Ha! I rescued what train?
19:19Shh!
19:21Mother, look! It's Thomas!
19:23What's on top of his hat?
19:26Oh, Your Majesty.
19:30This is quite unexpected.
19:33Aren't you supposed to be at the palace for the ceremony?
19:36My deepest apologies, ma'am.
19:39We, uh, had a bit of confusion and delay on our journey here.
19:44Ah-choo!
19:47So, I see.
19:49They were very kind, ma'am.
19:51And Thomas here helped to ensure we got here on time.
19:55Is that true?
19:57It was nothing, really, Your Majesty.
19:59Well, Sir Topham,
20:01from what my son has been reading in the books written about it,
20:05your Northwestern Railway is well known for helping out those in need.
20:10Oh, thank you, ma'am.
20:12I've also heard about your travels around the world, Thomas.
20:16Visiting different countries
20:18and helping them learn more about the environment.
20:21That's the sort of work I like to do when I'm older.
20:25Oh, thank you, Your Highness.
20:28And now, Sir Topham,
20:30because we've already had so much confusion and delay,
20:33why don't we do the ceremony right here?
20:36Here? But, Your Majesty, I'm a mess.
20:40And you got that way by proving yourself worthy
20:43of this special award for your services to the railway.
20:48Oh, thank you, Your Majesty.
20:51And Thomas?
20:53Oh, Mother, may I? Please?
20:56Oh, a splendid idea.
20:59Gallant Thomas,
21:01who went out of his way to help an engine in need,
21:05it is my pleasure to present to you a special crest
21:09signifying to all that you have truly been,
21:13if you don't mind me saying,
21:15a royally useful engine.
21:23Hooray!
21:25Bravo!
21:27Well done!
