00:00Thomas the Tank Engine enjoys taking specials. Today, he was bringing a special to Brendam Docks.
00:12His load was to go onto a cargo ship. The ship was scheduled to depart at sundown.
00:18Thomas had to get to the docks before then, but the load was very heavy.
00:25So Thomas puffed as hard as he could. He pulled so hard, he broke his coupling rods.
00:32He wasn't going anywhere.
00:35Oh dear, Thomas said, I'll be late.
00:39His driver saw an old shed near the track.
00:43If there's a telephone in there, I could call for help, he said.
00:47Hurry, said Thomas, and be careful, it looks a bit spooky.
00:52Then a voice boomed from inside the shed.
00:55Do you mind? I'm trying to sleep.
00:59Thomas hoped it wasn't a ghost. Then his driver appeared.
01:03Is it a ghost? asked Thomas nervously.
01:06It's a surprise, his driver teased.
01:10Then the fireman took some of Thomas' coal and headed off to the shed.
01:17She could get us to the fitter's yard, his driver said.
01:20If her boiler holds, added the fireman anxiously.
01:27What kind of surprise is that? Thomas wondered.
01:31Thomas, meet Elizabeth, said his driver.
01:35At last the doors opened and out chuffed a dirty, grimy steam lorry.
01:40So, you're the little puffer that's broken down, she sniffed.
01:45Thomas was cross. And you're just an old sentinel lorry, he retorted.
01:50That would be vintage sentinel lorry, snapped Elizabeth.
01:54And I haven't much time to get your coupling rods.
02:07The driver was concerned. Elizabeth was making awful grinding sounds.
02:15She's not built for hills, he said anxiously.
02:18You're losing steam, he called.
02:21Just catching my breath, Elizabeth chuffed.
02:32And finally she made it.
02:36When Elizabeth returned with Thomas' coupling rods, she was pleased with herself.
02:50And next time, don't be so careless, she scolded.
02:55Thomas thought Elizabeth was the rudest lorry he had ever met.
02:59But he was very happy to get his new coupling rods.
03:07Thomas made it to the docks just in time.
03:11What took you so long, said the Fat Controller.
03:15Thomas told him about his broken coupling rods.
03:18He wanted to tell him how rude Elizabeth had been when she rolled up.
03:23Oh, it's you, said Elizabeth, looking down at the Fat Controller.
03:28Have you learned to drive properly yet?
03:31Oh, it's you, said Elizabeth, looking down at the Fat Controller.
03:34Have you learned to drive properly yet?
03:36Jeez, for it now, said Thomas to his driver.
03:40Elizabeth, said the Fat Controller fondly.
03:43My first lorry! I thought you had been lost.
03:46They were old friends.
03:48It was too much for Thomas.
03:51Then Elizabeth told the Fat Controller how she'd been left in the shed for years.
03:57The Fat Controller was so pleased Elizabeth had been found,
04:01he asked Jem Cold to restore her to her original beauty.
04:06And soon Elizabeth had a rich dark colour and gleaming coachworks.
04:13You're the grandest lorry in the whole railroad, the Fat Controller said proudly.
04:19I know, said Elizabeth even more proudly.
04:23And Thomas had to agree, she did look grand.
