00:00Express coming through.
00:04On the island of Sodor, all the engines puff proudly.
00:11Thomas puffs proudly on his branch line.
00:15Percy puffs proudly with his mail trucks.
00:19And Gordon puffs proudest of all with the express.
00:25At Knapford station, Dowager Hat was having a welcome to Sodor party.
00:31Very important visitors were coming from the mainland.
00:35There was hustle and bustle and cleaning and sweeping.
00:40Thomas was excited.
00:42I must hurry. I hope the Fat Controller will ask me to show the very important visitors round the island.
00:48Gordon sniffs snootily.
00:50No, Thomas. The Fat Controller will ask me. I am Gordon and I pull the express.
00:57Thomas huffed huffily.
00:59I am Thomas. I can pull the express too.
01:03Gordon spluttered. Thomas grinned and he raced away to the docks.
01:13The very important visitors had arrived at Brendam docks.
01:18Welcome one and all to our wonderful island of Sodor.
01:22Thomas, you will take Dowager Hat and the very important visitors on a tour of the special sights of Sodor.
01:31Then you'll meet me at Knapford station for the party at tea time.
01:36Thomas beamed. Gordon gasped.
01:40But sir, I am Gordon and I pull the express.
01:45I know who you are, Gordon. You must go to Misty Island and collect trucks of Jolby wood.
01:53The wood is very heavy. I need a strong engine for the job and you are a very strong engine.
02:01The visitors smiled at Gordon the strong engine. Gordon puffed proudly.
02:08Of course, sir.
02:10The fat controller left. Thomas chuffed grandly.
02:15Mum, would you like to travel in the express?
02:18Of course, Thomas.
02:21Gordon glared.
02:23You're not strong enough, Thomas, to pull the express.
02:27Thomas chuffed cheekily.
02:29I am strong enough, Gordon. I am Thomas and I can pull the express.
02:36Thomas puffed and pulled the express. It was heavy.
02:49Thomas huffed heavily to the Sodor search and rescue centre.
02:54Rocky, Harold, Captain and Butch were surprised to see Thomas pulling the express.
03:01Isn't it too heavy for you, Thomas?
03:05Thomas chuffed cheerfully.
03:07Heavy? No, this is easy for me.
03:10Then Gordon steamed out of the Misty Island tunnel with the logs.
03:17Hello, Gordon. Express coming through.
03:21Gordon groaned.
03:23Thomas heaved and slowly, wheel turn by wheel turn, the express juddered away.
03:33The express slithered slowly along the tracks.
03:38It was heavy. It was too heavy for Thomas.
03:42Thomas was worried. Then an idea popped in his pistons.
03:47I will leave some of the visitors to enjoy a special sight of Sodor.
03:52Then the carriages will be less heavy.
03:55Thomas didn't want Gordon to know the express was too heavy for him.
04:00I will choose somewhere quiet.
04:03Thomas was pleased with his plan.
04:07Thomas left some of the very important visitors at the quarry.
04:12Gordon won't pass this way, I'm sure.
04:15The very important visitors were very puzzled.
04:19The quarry didn't seem like a special sight of Sodor at all.
04:24But Thomas was pleased. He pumped his pistons and pulled slowly away.
04:32Dowager Hat was enjoying the cakes in the dining car.
04:37She didn't know some of her visitors were missing.
04:40She didn't know Thomas was still struggling.
04:44I am Thomas and I can pull the express.
04:48Then Thomas heard Gordon's whistle.
04:52Hello Gordon! Express coming through!
04:56And Thomas puffed forward with all his might and fight.
05:01Thomas knew the express was still too heavy for him.
05:06Then another idea bubbled in his boiler.
05:10I will leave more of the visitors by this field. Gordon is sure not to puff past here.
05:17The very important visitors were very puzzled.
05:22A cow didn't seem like a special sight of Sodor at all.
05:27But Thomas was pleased. He pumped his pistons and pulled away.
05:33Dowager Hat munched on.
05:36She still didn't know more of her very important visitors were missing.
05:42Thomas puffed proudly into Knapford Station.
05:46Everything was ready for the welcome party.
05:49The Fat Controller was surprised to see Thomas pulling the express.
05:54Thomas, why did you not take Annie and Clarabel?
05:59Thomas puffed proudly.
06:01Because sir, I can pull the express.
06:04Gordon groaned.
06:06Then Dowager Hat stepped from the dining car.
06:10Thank you Thomas.
06:12Suddenly she stopped.
06:14Where are my very important visitors?
06:17Everyone stopped. Everyone stared at Thomas.
06:24They're looking at a special sight of Sodor.
06:27But why, Thomas? They should be here at my party.
06:31Now Thomas felt very, very silly.
06:36I'm sorry, sir. Mom, I wanted to pull the express, so I told Gordon I could.
06:44But I can't. I'm not strong enough.
06:48I left the very important visitors to make the carriages lighter,
06:52so that I could pull the express into Knapford Station.
06:55Gordon grumped.
06:57The Fat Controller frowned.
07:00Dowager Hat boomed.
07:02Thomas, do something!
07:05Thomas looked at Gordon. He knew Gordon was strong.
07:10Gordon, you are fastest and best, and you pull the express.
07:16Please, will you go and pick up the very important visitors for the party?
07:21Gordon glowed.
07:23Of course. Express coming through!
07:30Later, the Fat Controller and Dowager Hat welcomed the very important visitors to their party.
07:38Gordon puffed proudly.
07:40Thomas steamed sadly. He still felt silly.
07:44Suddenly the Fat Controller boomed.
07:48Where are the balloons? We must have balloons for a party!
07:53They're at the dock, sir. I'll puff to get them.
07:57I may not be strong, but I'm very, very fast!
08:04Soon Thomas was racing down the tracks back to Knapford.
08:09Balloons coming through!
08:15Later, all the very important visitors were enjoying the welcome party.
08:21Welcome to Sodor and to the engines on my railway.
08:27Some are really strong. Some are really fast.
08:33But they're all really useful!
08:37And Thomas and Gordon hooted and tooted their loudest.
