00:00Skarloey the Brave. Skarloey loves to puff through the hills on the island of Sodor.
00:11His favourite place is a pretty village high up in the mountains.
00:34But in the winter, the mountain village gets very cold.
00:40So it's important that the engines deliver coal to the village.
00:45The houses must be snug and warm.
00:52One morning, Rheneas was delivering his empty trucks to the incline.
01:04The winch brings empty trucks up the incline and lowers full trucks down to be delivered to the villages across the island.
01:14Rheneas was frightened of the incline. It was very high.
01:20So Rheneas shunted his trucks into place, then he backed quickly away.
01:27You are such a scurdy engine, laughed Skarloey. I'm not scared of anything.
01:33Skarloey thought he was the bravest engine in the world.
01:38But then, the winch's coupling broke.
01:41Oh no! Skarloey steamed away as fast as he could.
01:49Skarloey raced right past Thomas, who was waiting on the main line.
01:55He switched tracks and the trucks rolled past him, but they headed towards Rusty.
02:01Rusty hooted loudly to the signalman and changed the points.
02:08Soon the thin controller, Mr. Percival, arrived.
02:12Well done, Rusty, Mr. Percival said.
02:16You are a really brave engine.
02:19Thank you, sir, said Rusty proudly.
02:23But Skarloey wasn't happy.
02:26I want to be the bravest, huffed Skarloey.
02:31Skarloey wasn't happy.
02:33I want to be the bravest, huffed Skarloey.
02:37I want to show everyone that I'm the bravest engine of all.
02:47The next day, Skarloey was shunting trucks onto the incline.
02:56How can I prove I'm the bravest, he puffed to himself.
03:01Suddenly Skarloey had an idea.
03:05If I went up the hill on a winch, he puffed, then everyone will see how brave I am.
03:12The winch hooked onto Skarloey's truck's coupling.
03:16Skarloey was still coupled up, but he didn't tell the workmen.
03:23Slowly Skarloey was pulled up the hill.
03:27When Rheneas and Duncan arrived at the bottom of the incline, they gasped.
03:33Look at where Skarloey is, puffed Rheneas.
03:37That is the bravest thing to do, chuffed Duncan.
03:41Duncan cheered and Rheneas blew his whistle.
03:45Skarloey felt prouder than ever.
03:48Look at me, look at me, he puffed.
03:52At last Skarloey reached the top of the incline.
03:56I'm the bravest engine in all the world, he called.
04:00But Skarloey was too heavy and the winch broke.
04:07Wee, puffed Skarloey as he raced down the hill.
04:11But when he got to the bottom, he couldn't stop.
04:15Skarloey raced all the way to the transfer yard.
04:19He raced past a very surprised Thomas and straight into the snow.
04:27Mr. Percival was very cross.
04:31Skarloey, you have broken the winch, he said.
04:36The mountain village will get no coal today and it is very cold.
04:41Skarloey felt very bad.
04:47The village won't be snug and warm, puffed Skarloey sadly, and it's all my fault.
04:57Suddenly, Skarloey had an idea.
05:02There's only one thing to do, he puffed.
05:06I will have to collect the coal myself.
05:18When Skarloey arrived at the top of the incline,
05:22Rheneas and Duncan had brought the supplies to repair the winch.
05:27Are you going to take the trucks down the incline without the winch?
05:31Asked Duncan excitedly.
05:33That would be really brave, chuffed Rheneas.
05:37Skarloey wanted to show Rheneas and Duncan how brave he was.
05:41But then he thought of the mountain village.
05:45No, said Skarloey firmly, I'm going to take the coal to the village.
05:53So he puffed slowly and carefully back down the steep track.
05:59No one was there to see him working hard.
06:02No one cheered or blew their whistles.
06:05But it didn't matter.
06:07What mattered was getting the coal to the village.
06:12It was late when Skarloey arrived at the village station.
06:17The villagers were very pleased to see Skarloey.
06:21And they were pleased to have coal to make their homes snug and warm.
06:26They cheered and hollered.
06:29Skarloey was very happy.
06:32Skarloey was very happy.
06:35Skarloey was very happy.
06:39They cheered and cheered and cheered.
06:43Skarloey was so proud it made his axles tingle.
06:47This is much better than showing everyone how brave I am, he puffed.
06:53And it certainly was.
