00:00Thomas in charge. It was a beautiful morning on the island of Sodor. All the engines were busy.
00:12Thomas was pleased. He was puffing to Brendam Docks to shunt coal trucks.
00:19Thomas chuffed cheerfully into the docks. Gordon was waiting for the express.
00:26Good morning, Gordon. Good morning, Thomas.
00:30I'm going to shunt these coal trucks faster than fast.
00:34Gordon was happy he didn't have to shunt trucks.
00:38I'm waiting for the Fat Controller.
00:44Just then, the Fat Controller arrived.
00:47Today is an important day. I am to meet the Railway Inspector at Knapford Station.
00:54Then I will take him on a tour of the island. Our tour will end here at the docks.
01:01Thomas' boiler bubbled. The Railway Inspector was a very important visitor.
01:09Thomas, I want you to be busy shunting trucks when the Inspector visits. Busy engines will please him most of all.
01:19Thomas' firebox fizzed with excitement.
01:24Bubbling boilers! I must make sure I shunt busier than ever.
01:29Thomas puffed over to the trucks.
01:32Shunting trucks I do the best. I bit and bat and never rest.
01:37Suddenly, Thomas stopped. An idea flew into his funnel.
01:42The Fat Controller said, busy engines will please the Railway Inspector most of all.
01:48I must find more engines to shunt trucks.
01:52Then the Railway Inspector will be really pleased and the Fat Controller will be really proud.
01:58So Thomas left the coal trucks and he huffed happily out of the docks.
02:05Thomas puffed in to Marron Station.
02:08Percy was there. He was waiting for his mail trucks to be loaded.
02:13Good morning, Percy. I have some important news. The Railway Inspector is coming to Brendam Docks.
02:20The Fat Controller said it will make the Inspector very pleased to see busy engines shunting there.
02:26Will you come?
02:28Percy was worried.
02:30I can't, Thomas. I have to deliver the mail.
02:34But shunting trucks will please the Inspector most of all and make the Fat Controller proud.
02:40Percy whooshed and whooshed.
02:43Alright, Thomas. I'll come with you.
02:46So Percy was uncoupled from his mail trucks and he puffed away with Thomas.
02:52Just as the Railway Inspector arrived with the Fat Controller.
02:58They had come to see Percy busy with his mail trucks.
03:01But the station was very quiet and Percy was nowhere to be seen.
03:08Thomas and Percy didn't know this.
03:11They huffed happily into the quarry.
03:14Then they saw Mavis.
03:16Hello, Mavis.
03:18Hello, Thomas. Hello, Percy. You look busy.
03:22Suddenly another idea flew into Thomas' funnel.
03:26I can ask Mavis to come and help us shunt at the docks.
03:29I'm sure she'd like to do that.
03:32Puff on, Percy. I'll ask Mavis.
03:35So Percy steamed on to the docks and Thomas clattered back into the quarry and up to Mavis.
03:43Mavis, I have some very important news.
03:47The Railway Inspector is coming to Brendam Docks.
03:51The Fat Controller said it will make the Inspector very pleased to see busy engines shunting there.
03:57Will you come?
03:59Mavis wasn't sure.
04:01I don't think I can, Thomas. I have a lot to do here.
04:04Shunting trucks will please the Inspector most of all.
04:08And make the Fat Controller proud.
04:11Mavis wanted to make the Fat Controller proud.
04:15Very well, Thomas. I'll come with you.
04:18So Mavis left her trucks of slate and clattered away with Thomas just as the Fat Controller and Railway Inspector arrived.
04:29They had come to see Mavis busy at work in the quarry.
04:33But the quarry wasn't busy. It was very, very quiet.
04:38The Railway Inspector sighed and the Fat Controller couldn't believe his eyes.
04:44Thomas puffed back to the docks.
04:47Percy and Mavis were there.
04:49They had shunted a long line of trucks.
04:53Thomas was pleased.
04:55Then he heard Gordon.
04:57Gordon is bringing the Fat Controller and the Railway Inspector.
05:01Quick, Percy. Hurry, Mavis. We must be as busy as bees.
05:05The Railway Inspector must be pleased and the Fat Controller must be proud.
05:11Then there was trouble.
05:13Percy shoved, Mavis shunted and Thomas shouted.
05:18One, two, three, push!
05:22The coal trucks bashed and biffed together.
05:26They juttered and jumped.
05:28Coal dust scattered and splattered everywhere.
05:32It covered the Railway Inspector and the Fat Controller.
05:36Then it flew down Gordon's funnel.
05:40Gordon spluttered and stuttered.
05:43Oh, the indignity.
05:46The Fat Controller was cross.
05:49Thomas, what have you done?
05:52Thomas felt terrible.
05:55The Railway Inspector isn't pleased. The Fat Controller isn't proud.
06:01Gordon can't whoosh at all and it's all my fault.
06:06Thomas knew he had to chuff and puff to put things right.
06:11Sir, I will shunt Gordon to the steamworks.
06:14Victor will make sure his funnel is free and his firebox fizzes.
06:18Then Gordon can take you on the tour of Sodor and I can be really useful.
06:23The Fat Controller was happy to hear this.
06:27Very well, Thomas.
06:30So Thomas heaved and hauled his hardest
06:35and shunted Gordon glumly away from the docks.
06:41At the steamworks, Victor was happy to welcome Gordon and Thomas.
06:46Well, Thomas, my friend, what have we here?
06:50Gordon grumped and groaned.
06:53Gordon's funnel is blocked with coal dust.
06:56He needs a clear funnel and a fizzing firebox.
06:59Then he has come to the right place.
07:02Gordon, please stop looking so unhappy.
07:06It's only your funnel we must fix, not your pistons that won't pump.
07:10Soon, Gordon's funnel was fixed, his firebox was firing
07:16and he was ready and raring to take the Fat Controller
07:20and the Railway Inspector on a tour of the island
07:24and of all the really useful and very busy engines on Sodor.
07:30Thomas steamed swiftly back to the docks.
07:34He knew he had a lot of work to do.
07:37At the docks, Thomas started to shunt and shove.
07:42He huffed his hardest.
07:44Shunting trucks I do the best.
07:46I biff and bash and never rest.
07:49And he didn't see the Fat Controller and the Railway Inspector arrive.
07:55They watched Thomas.
07:59Thomas, you are a really useful engine.
08:03I am very proud of you.
08:06And I am very pleased to see such a busy engine.
08:13I wasn't sure, but now I know.
08:18The Fat Controller's railway is the best.
08:23Thomas beamed and gleamed.
08:26The Fat Controller smiled and smiled with pride.
08:32Silly me, I was so wrong.
08:35I can shunt the whole day long.
08:37Never stop and never rest.
08:39A busy engine is the best.
