00:00BUCKLE TRACKS AND BUMPY TRUCKS
00:04At any time of the year, there can be hazards on the tracks, so the engines always have
00:14to be careful and alert.
00:18In autumn, leaves on the tracks can make them slippery.
00:23In winter, it's snow and ice.
00:28And in spring, there are all sorts of surprises.
00:38Even summer has its hazards, as Flynn and Belle know only too well.
00:46Bubbling boilers!
00:48Another fire!
00:52There are always more fires when the weather's hot, Thomas.
00:56It doesn't get so dry.
00:59Well, I hope you manage to put it out quickly.
01:03We will!
01:07It wasn't long before the fire was put out, and Flynn and Belle were making their way
01:12back to the search and rescue site.
01:14What's happening?
01:15The tracks!
01:16The heat's making them buckle and bend!
01:17Whoa!
01:18It always happens on this stretch of the rails when the temperature rises!
01:31Whoa!
01:33Better spray the tracks to cool them down, Belle.
01:37I don't have any water left in my tank.
01:39I have a little water, but I think it's best if I save it for now.
01:44You never know when there might be another fire.
01:51Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, dear.
02:04Good morning, sir.
02:06Good, Thomas!
02:07Good!
02:08I'm hotter than a baked potato in the middle of the desert!
02:13And that's why I'm here!
02:15Mother?
02:17To give you something that will help you to stay cool.
02:22Close your eyes.
02:25Oh, is it an ice cream?
02:28Oh, I would love an ice cream.
02:31A nice, cold, ice-cold hat.
02:35Oh, much better for you to wear this instead of your topper.
02:41But why?
02:43Because black absorbs the heat, of course.
02:47So a black hat is bound to make you hotter.
02:50A nice, white hat will reflect the heat and keep you cooler.
02:56You do want to stay cool, don't you, Topham?
02:59It makes me look as if I'm going on safari.
03:04Better safari than sorry.
03:10That's right, sir.
03:12You never know when you might spot a herd of elephants.
03:23Oh, the indignity.
03:25That's my line!
03:28Meanwhile, the sun kept shining.
03:31The buckle tracks were getting hotter.
03:34And the hotter they got, the bumpier they became.
03:44These buckle tracks need to be fixed!
03:47These buckle tracks need to be fixed!
04:08Buckle tracks?
04:10Oh, as if I didn't have enough to worry about.
04:15Very well, I'll be there soon.
04:17Goodbye.
04:19Oh, dear, oh, dear.
04:21Ahem!
04:22Huh?
04:25Topham!
04:26Don't even think about leaving without your hat!
04:30Huh?
04:31Oh!
04:37Oh, all right, Mother.
04:41Oh.
04:46Oh!
04:48Oh, this is ridiculous!
04:51I feel such a fool in this hammock.
04:59Oh!
05:10Excuse me, sir!
05:12Your hat!
05:14You wouldn't want to lose it on a hot day like today.
05:17Ah, how kind.
05:19You'll need that if you're going on safari.
05:31Another fire!
05:33Bust my buffers!
05:35That's the third today!
05:37Water tanks full! Ready for action!
05:44Ah!
05:52Hmm.
05:54Hmm.
05:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
06:04No!
06:08Then there was trouble.
06:12Maybe I should have sprayed those bumpy tracks.
06:15Belle, look out!
06:22Oh, no!
06:24It's all right, Belle.
06:25I'll try and pull you back onto the tracks.
06:27There's no time for that, Flynn.
06:30You need to get to that fire before it spreads.
06:33You're right.
06:34Road wheels engaged!
06:36Don't worry, Belle.
06:38Fiery Flynn to the rescue!
06:44Take that, fire!
06:46And that!
06:48How do you like this?
06:50Ha, ha, ha!
06:51Here's some more!
06:55Later, when the fire was out,
06:57Thomas brought Rocky along to rescue Belle.
07:01Don't worry, Belle.
07:03Ha, ha!
07:04You'll be putting out fires again in no time.
07:08Thanks, Rocky.
07:10Oh, dear, oh, dear.
07:12What am I going to do about these tracks?
07:15Every time we have a heat wave, they buckle and bend.
07:18Oh, as if my day wasn't bad enough having to wear this silly hat.
07:23Although it has kept me rather cool.
07:26Uh, excuse me, sir.
07:28I have an idea.
07:30Dowager Hat said your hat was white to reflect the sun
07:33and keep your head cool.
07:35Well, my mother says a lot of things, Thomas.
07:38But maybe the tracks would keep cool and not buckle and bend
07:42if you painted them white.
07:45That's brilliant, Thomas!
07:47What a wonderful idea!
07:53Well, Thomas, I must admit that for once my mother was right.
07:58White really does reflect the sun and keep things cool.
08:02Just like your smart new safari hat.
08:04It is not a safari hat.
08:08So when are you going off to the jungle, sir?
08:12Oh, that's it.
08:14I am fed up with everybody laughing at my new hat.
08:18It really gets my goat.
08:21Here, you can have it.
08:27That's the last I'll be seeing of that.
08:30Ah! Oh!
08:32Ha-ha-ha!
08:34Ha-ha-ha-ha!
08:36Oh!
08:40Bummer.
