00:00Tip for Tat. There are three very small engines that work on the Miniature Railway, and their names are Rex, Mike and Bert.
00:16Rex, Mike and Bert are so small that when standing, their drivers are taller than their cabs.
00:30One day, two visitors came to the island of Sodor. They travelled about in a little car, taking pictures of interesting engines.
00:45Cheese!
00:55The visitors spent the whole day on Thomas' brunch line.
01:05Thomas was rather surprised that they kept taking pictures of Toby instead of him.
01:18Hey! What about me?
01:21We already have lots of pictures of tank engines, but we haven't seen as many tram engines. They're more unusual.
01:29What does that make me then? Am I a usual engine?
01:33I suppose you are, Thomas.
01:36Yes, you're usually very silly.
01:43Thomas spotted the visitors again at Farquhar Station, and at last they took his picture.
01:52Where are you going next?
01:54To visit the miniature engines.
01:56But we might have to wait until tomorrow. I don't think we'll get any more nice pictures today.
02:06It rained all afternoon and all night.
02:12But the next morning it was sunny again, and perfect weather for taking pictures.
02:22We've got visitors today.
02:24No, we have them every day.
02:27But these are special. One takes moving pictures and the other writes books.
02:33Maybe you'll be in one of them.
02:36I don't want to be a moving picture in a book. I want to stay as I am.
02:42What? What's so funny? What?
02:50Bert was just getting ready to start his jobs for the day when the visitors arrived.
02:55Hello there.
02:56Aren't you a very smart and shiny engine.
02:59Oh, my name's Bert. You can ride with my driver in my tender if you like.
03:05Thank you, Bert. I'm sure we'd like to do that later.
03:09You see, just now the sun is shining so nicely, we'd like to take some pictures.
03:15See you later.
03:18At least those visitors know how to speak to engines nicely.
03:24There were still lots of puddles after the rain.
03:28But wherever the line came near the road, Bert found the two men there looking into their cameras.
03:35Hello! Hello!
03:41Oh, you'd think they might wave at an engine.
03:44They can't wave and get good pictures.
03:57They didn't say hello to me when I whistled, so I'm not going to say hello to them any more.
04:10They can't get enough of me.
04:15Here they come again.
04:20What was that for?
04:22They splashed me. They splashed me.
04:25I have mud on my face.
04:29And they even took a picture.
04:36Pictures indeed. I'm a nice picture.
04:40Poor covered in mud.
04:42Oh, no harm done, Bert. There you are. Clean face again.
04:47Go on, give us a smile.
04:49What about the rest of me? I'm still muddy on the rest of me.
04:53I shall pay them back.
04:55They splashed me, so I shall splash them. Tip for tat.
04:59Don't be silly. Forgive and forget, Bert. It was an accident.
05:04Can I take you up on that offer of a ride in your tender now, Bert?
05:08Well, I'm not sure about that. Not after what you...
05:12Of course you can.
05:15Bert was still brooding to himself as they travelled along the line.
05:20Such a wet day.
05:22You can say that again.
05:25Ooh.
05:34Hmm.
05:39Ooh. I know how to pay him back.
05:43It's a lovely plan.
05:46I only wish the tall one was here too.
05:49Bert hurried along until they reached the woods,
05:52where the line begins to climb steeply up the hill.
06:00And then he slowed down.
06:05Come on, Bert. What's the hold up?
06:08Tip for tat. Tip for tat.
06:11It's payback time.
06:14Oh! I'm soaked! I'm soaked!
06:18Bert! Bert! What are you doing?
06:21Tip for tat. Tip for tat.
06:24Oh!
06:29Back at Osborough Junction...
06:31Ahem.
06:32..the small controller soon found out what had happened
06:36and decided to call the police.
06:39Ahem.
06:40The small controller soon found out what had happened...
06:43Bert, you're a very naughty engine.
06:46I won't have rudeness to visitors.
06:48But they splashed me first, sir.
06:51I was only paying...
06:52No excuses, thank you, Bert.
06:54I'm ashamed of you.
06:56Go to your shed.
07:02Oh, gosh.
07:04Erm... Oh, poor Bert.
07:07Oh, dear.
07:11Bert was sitting sadly in his shed
07:14when he saw the two visitors coming over to see him again.
07:18What do they want now?
07:20Hello, Bert.
07:22We wanted to say how very sorry we were
07:25for splashing you earlier with our car.
07:27I'm afraid I really wasn't looking out for the puddles.
07:31Nor was I. I was too excited about getting pictures of you.
07:36Oh? Well, I suppose...
07:39Well, I mean, I am very sorry for splashing you too.
07:43We wondered if...
07:45if perhaps there was some way we could make it up to you, Bert.
07:49Perhaps we can clean you up and make you look smart again,
07:53like you did in the morning.
07:55Hmm.
08:01By the time Rex and Mike came back,
08:04Bert was looking as shiny and clean as he had been in the morning.
08:08Oh. We heard you had a little argument with some very rude visitors, Bert.
08:14We heard you were covered in mud.
08:16I was, but they cleaned me up again.
08:19They're actually very nice.
08:21They're even going to write about me in a book
08:24and show me off in moving pictures on the television too.
08:29Don't be silly. That's never going to happen.
08:33He must be having you on.
08:36But it did happen, didn't it?
