00:00Wash behind your buffers.
00:05Up in the mountains there are many railway tracks that the little narrow gauge engines run on.
00:13There are also many roads.
00:17Madge is a snub-nosed lorry.
00:21She drives around the mountains and valleys, delivering goods to the villagers.
00:29Madge likes all the narrow gauge engines.
00:33Madge is very kind.
00:36She likes to take care of everyone she meets.
00:40One morning Mr. Percival the thin controller came to see Madge.
00:46There is to be a country show and engine rally, he said,
00:50and Rheneas and Skarloey are to lead the rally.
00:53How wonderful, said Madge.
00:56The engines must be extra clean and shiny.
00:59I need you to take them some soap and brushes.
01:03Of course, smiled Madge. I'll deliver them right away.
01:08And make sure you're back in plenty of time, added the thin controller.
01:12You have a very important job.
01:14You are to pull the brass band.
01:17You need to be clean too.
01:20How exciting, exclaimed Madge.
01:23I'll be the cleanest lorry you have ever seen.
01:28Madge was very proud.
01:31This will be the grandest country show and engine rally ever, she smiled.
01:38There was a lot to do.
01:43First Madge went to see Rheneas.
01:47Rheneas had been working at the coal mine.
01:52He was very dirty.
01:55But soon he was being washed and scrubbed for the country show.
02:00Madge watched.
02:02She had to make sure Rheneas was extra clean and extra shiny for the engine rally.
02:08Get the engineer to scrub all the way round your number and name plate, Madge told Rheneas.
02:15Madge made sure his whistle was washed and his boiler bands were buffed.
02:20There, Madge exclaimed, now you're ready for the rally.
02:24And wash behind your buffers, she called as she drove away.
02:30Madge still had lots to do.
02:33But now Madge was late.
02:35She had to hurry.
02:37She drove faster and faster.
02:40The mountain roads were very dirty.
02:44This dirt will take a long time to get off, thought Madge.
02:49I must make sure I'm back in plenty of time.
02:53I have to be washed and polished too.
03:02But when Madge arrived at the quarry, Skarloey was very dirty.
03:08Goodness, said Madge, you're a real mucky buffers.
03:12We're going to have to work very hard to make sure you're extra clean for the engine rally.
03:18Soon Skarloey was covered in bubbles.
03:23Madge waited.
03:25She wanted to make sure he would be extra shiny.
03:29Scrub from the top of his funnel all the way down to his footplate, Madge told the engineer.
03:37It took a long time, but at last Skarloey was clean.
03:43Now you'll look grand at the engine rally.
03:47And one more thing, she called, wash behind your buffers.
03:55Now Madge really was late.
03:58Madge raced to the village.
04:02She drove down more dirt tracks.
04:08Oh no, Madge moaned.
04:11I hope I can still get clean in time.
04:15Rheneas and Skarloey were waiting in the village square.
04:19The paintwork cleaned, the domes glistened in the sun.
04:25You look grand, said the thin controller.
04:28He was very proud of his little engines.
04:31Then Madge arrived.
04:34She was filthy.
04:37The thin controller was surprised.
04:39Oh dear, he said, you're very dirty.
04:43Don't worry, revved Madge, I'll go and get washed and wiped right now.
04:49But mud had clogged up Madge's exhaust pipe.
04:52Suddenly she backfired.
04:56The mud sprayed all over Rheneas and Skarloey.
05:01Oh no, cried Madge.
05:04Then Madge saw the brass band.
05:08Madge was worried.
05:11How am I going to get you clean in time?
05:14I'm the dirtiest of all, she cried.
05:17We could help get you clean, puffed Skarloey.
05:22But you're dirty too, Madge moaned.
05:25The band is waiting for you, chuffed Rheneas.
05:29Madge gasped.
05:31She knew she had to be extra clean and shiny to pull the brass band.
05:35It was time for her to get clean.
05:40Make sure you clean her wheel arches, puffed Rheneas.
05:45And wash her windscreen, chuffed Skarloey.
05:49Soon Madge was sparkling and clean.
05:53Thank you, she said.
05:55Now you have to get clean too.
05:58Madge was about to tell the engines how to get extra clean and extra shiny.
06:03Then she saw what the engineers were doing.
06:07They were scrubbing all around the number and name plates.
06:11They washed the whistles and buffed the boiler bands.
06:15They scrubbed from the top of their funnels right down to their footplates.
06:22My, what a wonderful job, laughed Madge.
06:26That's because you helped us before, puffed Rheneas.
06:31Madge smiled.
06:33She felt very happy.
06:36It was soon time for the country show and engine rally to begin.
06:41Madge sparkled and shone as she proudly pulled the brass band.
06:47You both look wonderful, called Madge.
06:51But she still wasn't sure if they had washed behind their buffers.
