00:00:00It was a bright, clear day on the island of Sodor, and Thomas was pulling the local, the
00:00:11slow train that stops at every station along the main line, from Knappford to Vicarstown.
00:00:19Clarabelle, was that?
00:00:26No! It's a lovely day, Annie. Can you hear the birds singing?
00:00:46What are you two going on about? I can't hear any... Gordon!
00:00:56No, Thomas, don't! There's nothing to prove! This is the slow train!
00:01:02Just to the next signal box, ladies. First past the post wins the race!
00:01:10And it's Thomas coming on the inside! It's our plucky little tank engine, everyone's favourite number one,
00:01:18taking on the big blue beast, known in Tidmouth as Gordon!
00:01:26Thomas' tiny tank engine pistons are pumping now, full steam ahead, as Thomas races towards signal box victory!
00:01:36I win! I win! Bad luck, Gordon!
00:01:43Doom!
00:01:46Thomas was still going pretty fast, as he arrived at the big station in Vicarstown,
00:01:52the last main line stop on the island of Sodor.
00:02:07One day I'm going to race right through this station and over the bridge to the mainland again!
00:02:16Not today, Thomas! This train terminates here.
00:02:20Oh, wow! Who's this with two tenders?
00:02:27Hello! Are you from the other railway?
00:02:33I was built on the mainland, you know, and once, a long time ago,
00:02:37I went back across with the other famous engines from Sodor.
00:02:41Is that so? I didn't think there were famous engines on Sodor.
00:02:46Oh, hello, Gordon.
00:02:48Do you two know each other?
00:02:50Yes, Thomas, we know each other. This is my brother. They call him the Flying Scotsman.
00:02:59Indeed they do. It almost makes me sound famous, doesn't it?
00:03:04Oh, Gordon, I wanted to tell you my news.
00:03:07I've been invited to take part in the Great Railway Show on the mainland. I shall be racing.
00:03:15The Great Railway Show? What's that?
00:03:18The Great Railway Show is where engines compete to see who's the fastest or the strongest or what have you.
00:03:25But I'm not sure any engines from Sodor will be going.
00:03:29I wouldn't want to go anyway, not if it's full of engines like you,
00:03:34always boasting about how exciting things are on the mainland.
00:03:39Well, I want to go.
00:03:41Of course you do, Thomas. And with any luck, maybe you shall.
00:03:47Flying Scotsman, coming through!
00:03:53Go!
00:04:18Oh, look! The Great Railway Show!
00:04:22It's going to be special. It's going to be great.
00:04:26Off to the mainland without coaches or freight.
00:04:29Please, sir, I beg you, I just have to know.
00:04:32Will you, won't you take me to the Railway Show?
00:04:39Take me, sir. I pull the heaviest trains.
00:04:42I'm such a mighty engine, sir, it's never a strain.
00:04:48It's not a tough decision, though, I have to confess.
00:04:52It's hard to find a better engine for the express.
00:04:55Precisely.
00:04:57But I didn't mean not to take me, sir.
00:05:01I know I'm kind of small, sir, but I'm not a beginner.
00:05:05I had a race with Gordon once and I was the winner.
00:05:11You ought to take me, sir.
00:05:14I'm modern and new, your first easel ever.
00:05:21I'm loyal, kind and true.
00:05:26It's going to be special. It's going to be great.
00:05:29Off to the mainland without coaches or freight.
00:05:32Please, sir, I beg you, you can't help me know.
00:05:35Will you, won't you take me to the Railway Show?
00:05:39Fast engines. Long engines.
00:05:42Tough engines. Strong engines.
00:05:45Everyone who's any engines eager to go.
00:05:48I'm not going anywhere.
00:05:50Will you, won't you take us to the Railway Show?
00:05:53It's going to be special. It's going to be great.
00:05:56Leaving behind all our coaches and freight.
00:05:59Please, sir, we're begging you, just can't say no.
00:06:03Will you, won't you take us to the Railway Show?
00:06:06Will you, won't you take us to the Railway Show?
00:06:09Will you, won't you take me to the Railway Show?
00:06:16Oh, Thomas, why would Sir Topham Hatt want to take
00:06:20a little tank engine like you to the Great Railway Show?
00:06:25I haven't decided who I'm taking yet.
00:06:28In any case, I do have to keep some engines on Sodor.
00:06:31After all, we still have a railway to run.
00:06:37I said, we still have a railway to run.
00:06:41Oh, sorry, sir. Oh, right. I'm on my way.
00:06:50La-la-la-la-la-la-la, Railway Show.
00:06:53I know what I'll be doing when everybody goes to the Great Railway Show.
00:06:59What, Thomas? Shunting trucks in the yard.
00:07:03I do have to keep some engines on Sodor.
00:07:06Blah, blah, blah. We still have a railway to run.
00:07:11Well, you are very good at shunting, Thomas.
00:07:16Thanks, but no thanks, Percy.
00:07:19I'd rather go to the Great Railway Show.
00:07:23If you really want to go, Thomas, all you have to do is put your mind to it.
00:07:28That's how I beat Gordon. I set my eyes on the track...
00:07:33...and took off racing.
00:07:40And as big and fast as Gordon is, he never overtook me.
00:07:47That's because you rushed off on your own. Gordon wasn't even racing, Philip.
00:07:52I wish everybody would stop saying that. It's not the point.
00:07:57The point is that you can do anything you want to, Thomas, if you just put your mind to it.
00:08:06Oops! Sorry!
00:08:14The next morning, Thomas woke up with a smile on his face.
00:08:19Maybe Philip is right. Maybe I can do anything I want to.
00:08:24If I go as fast as the Flying Scotsman, the Fat Controller will definitely take me to the show.
00:08:31But you can't go as fast as the Flying Scotsman.
00:08:36Hi, Thomas!
00:08:40Caitlin! What if I was streamlined like Caitlin?
00:08:45Streamlining makes engines much faster.
00:08:49Silly Thomas! Who ever heard of a streamlined engine?
00:08:55All I want is a bit of redefining. A slinky-slicker, swifter coat that's smooth and shining.
00:09:00To get the speed I really need, streamlining.
00:09:06Whoosh! You wonder who was passing through.
00:09:09Whoosh! You won't believe it's even true.
00:09:12Whoosh! But all you see of me will be a shiny streak of racing blue.
00:09:18I'll come to you, my friend, as I need some redesigning.
00:09:22To be a tank engine is so confining.
00:09:25Give me the curves I deserve, streamlining.
00:09:30Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
00:09:34Wow!
00:09:38Amazing!
00:09:43Wow!
00:09:45Wow!
00:09:49I love it!
00:09:51Whoosh! You wonder who was passing through.
00:09:54Whoosh! You won't believe it's even true.
00:09:57Whoosh! But all you see of me will be a shiny streak of racing blue.
00:10:03Go, Thomas, go! Go, Thomas, go!
00:10:06All I want is a little redefining.
00:10:09But certain other engines might be reconsigning.
00:10:12I'll get a shape that makes him gay.
00:10:14Go, Thomas, go! I'll have the curves that I deserve.
00:10:17Go, Thomas, go! I'll get the speed I really need.
00:10:20Go, Thomas, go! Streamlining.
00:10:23Go, Thomas, go!
00:10:26Ahem.
00:10:38Sorry, sir. I think I came in a little too quickly that time.
00:10:42Yes, Thomas, you certainly did.
00:10:44But I've had an idea.
00:10:46If you were to take an engine, like me, sir,
00:10:50and get the men at the steamworks to add some streamlining to him...
00:10:54Oh.
00:10:55..then he'd be able to win races for you at the Great Railway Show.
00:10:59That is an excellent idea, Thomas.
00:11:04Are you sure about that, sir?
00:11:07Of course I am, Annie. Thomas is quite right.
00:11:11Once he's been streamlined, Gordon will be faster than ever.
00:11:16Isn't that right, Gordon?
00:11:19Even with all the excitement, work on the railway had to carry on,
00:11:24and Brendan Docks was as busy as ever.
00:11:28OK, Diesel, this is a nice big crate. How about this one?
00:11:33Oh, no, no, not that one, Frankie. It needs to be bigger.
00:11:38That one! Yeah! That one!
00:11:42What do you want all these crates for?
00:11:45Never do you mind what I want them for.
00:11:48It's a surprise!
00:11:51Oh, some engines.
00:11:57What's up with you?
00:11:59I had this brilliant idea about how I could go to the Great Railway Show,
00:12:04but the Fat Controller refused to streamline me.
00:12:08Oh, Thomas, that's a good one.
00:12:12Oh, Thomas, that's a good one.
00:12:15A streamlined tank engine!
00:12:18It's not that funny, Frankie.
00:12:30It's good to go.
00:12:34Everything looks sorted.
00:12:36Oh, good day. Bonjour.
00:12:38Come on, let's go.
00:12:40Hey, stop! Wait!
00:12:48Oh, watch out! Where are you all going?
00:12:52To the Great Railway Show, of course.
00:12:55The Great Railway Show's not here. It's happening on the mainland.
00:13:00This is the island of Sodor.
00:13:02The island of... Oops.
00:13:07Now, everybody back on the ship.
00:13:13I'm coming! Please wait!
00:13:16The Great Railway Show?
00:13:18Are you really all going to the Great Rail...
00:13:21Get out of the way!
00:13:24Why don't you look where you're going, shrimp?
00:13:27I'm not the one going backwards.
00:13:30Why don't you take me with you?
00:13:33It looks like there's room for one more.
00:13:36Is somebody missing?
00:13:41No, no, help! Thomas!
00:13:50Stop pulling!
00:14:03What a rescue!
00:14:05What is it with all you railway show engines?
00:14:08Charging about like you own the tracks.
00:14:11What makes you so special anyway?
00:14:13Do you think you're better than all the other engines just because...
00:14:18I'm very sorry. I truly never meant to bump into you.
00:14:23I simply didn't realise you were behind me.
00:14:28Thank you for rescuing me.
00:14:31My name's Thomas. What's yours?
00:14:34Salty.
00:14:36Don't be silly, Thomas.
00:14:38She can't be called Salty. That's my name.
00:14:44My name's Ashima.
00:14:46Well, I mean...
00:14:49So, I can't stand around here all day.
00:14:52Thomas!
00:14:55Some of us have a railway to run.
00:15:02Soon Thomas was back in the yard,
00:15:06shunting trucks again.
00:15:08I don't get it.
00:15:10Why did she try to push you off the docks?
00:15:13I don't know, Percy.
00:15:15Maybe she was jealous.
00:15:18Or maybe she's just a very pushy engine.
00:15:22But then why did she rescue you?
00:15:25Don't ask me, Percy.
00:15:27I don't know anything about her.
00:15:31My advice to you, Thomas, is to keep away from her.
00:15:37Engines like that are nothing but trouble.
00:15:52But that afternoon,
00:15:54as Thomas was pulling the local with Annie and Clarabel...
00:15:59Oh, no! It's her!
00:16:02Oh, Thomas! Thomas!
00:16:07Hello again.
00:16:09Hello. I thought you were going to the Great Railway Show.
00:16:13I was, but I missed the ferry.
00:16:15And I don't know how to get there by rail.
00:16:18Thomas wants to go to the Great Railway Show?
00:16:21Maybe you could go together.
00:16:24Well, I don't think that's a very good idea, Annie.
00:16:28I'm probably not even going.
00:16:32You'll need to find another engine to go with, not me.
00:16:40I do wish you two hadn't told her
00:16:42that I want to go to the Great Railway Show.
00:16:44But it's true.
00:16:46Well, what's so special about her anyway?
00:16:49She's not fast or big.
00:16:51I really don't see why she should get to go.
00:16:54Well, she was very beautifully painted.
00:16:57Quite right, dear. She looked stunning.
00:17:00All those bright colours.
00:17:02Bright colours? Beautifully painted? Big deal.
00:17:06Any engine can get themselves painted.
00:17:09And then another idea flew into Thomas' funnel.
00:17:15Thomas!
00:17:17Ashima was very confused.
00:17:20She needed to get to the Railway Show.
00:17:24Oh! It's just here!
00:17:27But she didn't know which way to go.
00:17:30Hello?
00:17:32Or who to ask.
00:17:35Oh, dear.
00:17:38Thomas!
00:17:40Wait! Where are you...
00:17:42I'm busy!
00:17:44But I just wanted to ask you how to get to the mainland, please.
00:17:49Hello! Aren't you Thomas' coaches?
00:17:53Yes, we are.
00:17:55We're from the Railway Show.
00:17:57I'm Ashima.
00:17:59And I'm Ashima.
00:18:01And I'm Ashima.
00:18:03And I'm Ashima.
00:18:05And I'm Ashima.
00:18:08And I'm Ashima.
00:18:11And I'm Ashima.
00:18:13And I'm Ashima.
00:18:16Aren't you Thomas' coaches?
00:18:18Yes, we are. Or at least we were.
00:18:21He cancelled our train and left us here on this siding.
00:18:25But where was he off to in such a terrible hurry?
00:18:28We don't know.
00:18:32Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum.
00:18:35Streamlining.
00:18:38Whoa!
00:18:40Whoa!
00:18:42Oh!
00:18:44I do wish you'd hurry up.
00:18:46At this rate, I'm not going to be ready for the great Railway Show.
00:18:50It's a lot of work to streamline a steam engine, Gordon.
00:18:54You have to be patient.
00:18:56Victor! Victor!
00:18:59I've got a special job for you.
00:19:01I need to be repainted.
00:19:03I was thinking maybe lightning bolts...
00:19:06and racing stripes...
00:19:08and, uh...
00:19:10you know, surprise me.
00:19:14I'm afraid we're a little busy at the...
00:19:16This is important, Victor.
00:19:18It's for the great Railway Show.
00:19:22Meanwhile, Diesel had a plan of his own.
00:19:27We have to do everything we can, Baxton.
00:19:31OK, Diesel.
00:19:33But I still don't see what your plan is.
00:19:36My plan is to make you look like a truck.
00:19:41One of my trucks.
00:19:43So that I look like I'm pulling a very, very heavy train.
00:19:48All by myself!
00:19:52If the Fat Controller thinks I'm stronger than Henry,
00:19:56he'll take me to the great Railway Show instead of him!
00:20:01HE LAUGHS
00:20:03I'm full of surprises.
00:20:05Are you singing, Diesel?
00:20:07They ought to say of me.
00:20:10I bring some razzle-dazzle to the yard.
00:20:14I'm full of surprises.
00:20:18As you can plainly see,
00:20:20I don't find being surprising all that hard.
00:20:24I can't really see anything under here.
00:20:27I'm full of surprises.
00:20:29They ought to say of me.
00:20:31I bring some razzle-dazzle to the yard.
00:20:34I'm full of surprises.
00:20:36As you can plainly see,
00:20:38I don't find being surprising all that hard.
00:20:42Some would probably say
00:20:45I'm only up to my old tricks.
00:20:49But I'd say I'm a problem solver
00:20:53looking for a nice quick fix.
00:20:56HE LAUGHS
00:21:00I'm full of surprises.
00:21:02They ought to say of me.
00:21:04I bring some razzle-dazzle to the rail.
00:21:07I'm full of surprises.
00:21:09As you can plainly see,
00:21:11I'm trusting my surprises to prevail.
00:21:14I hope this time being surprising doesn't fail.
00:21:18They used to call me devious
00:21:22because I had a bit of previous.
00:21:26But please, you must believe us.
00:21:29I'm not that bad.
00:21:31HE LAUGHS
00:21:34Well, maybe just a tase.
00:21:37HE LAUGHS
00:21:39No! Wait!
00:21:41Come back here! Wait for me!
00:21:47At the steamworks, everything had been set up
00:21:50so that Thomas could be repainted.
00:21:53When...
00:21:54Hello, Kevin. Victor.
00:21:56I was just wondering how Gordon was getting on.
00:21:59Oh, no! Not now!
00:22:03HE GASPS
00:22:09Thomas?
00:22:11Surprise!
00:22:14I was going to tell you, sir.
00:22:16I had another idea for the railway show.
00:22:19Maybe you could send an engine painted with an exciting design.
00:22:25Oh, yes!
00:22:27For the Best Decorated Engine Award!
00:22:30Clever you!
00:22:32Oh, but aren't you meant to be on your branch line right now?
00:22:39Annie! Clarabel! I'm back!
00:22:43Sorry I'm late, but I just stopped off at the steamworks to see if...
00:22:47Annie? Clarabel?
00:22:51Clarabel?
00:22:57Emily!
00:22:58Thomas! Have you heard the news?
00:23:01The Fat Controller says it's time to be repainted with decorations and...
00:23:05Hello, you two!
00:23:07Guess what I've just heard!
00:23:09The Fat Controller wants me to be repainted!
00:23:13You too, James?
00:23:15Are you going to the Great Railway Show?
00:23:18Yes, Emily, I am.
00:23:20It wouldn't be great without me.
00:23:23Oh, wow! I'm going too!
00:23:26It looks like Thomas has been repainted as well.
00:23:30They didn't do a very good job, though.
00:23:34It was an accident. Have you seen Annie and Clarabel anywhere?
00:23:38I left them on this siding, but...
00:23:40Oh, I saw them! That new engine was pulling them.
00:23:43You know, the painted one, from India.
00:23:45Ashima?
00:23:46That's the one! Isn't she great?
00:23:48Okay, come on, James! See you later, Thomas!
00:24:00Ashima had taken Annie and Clarabel back to Thomas' branch line.
00:24:05She was doing the job that Thomas was meant to be doing.
00:24:08Ashima!
00:24:09Thomas!
00:24:17Philip was right!
00:24:20Engines like you are nothing but trouble!
00:24:23What do you think you're doing running off with my coaches?
00:24:26Your coaches, Thomas? We're not your coaches!
00:24:30We're our own coaches, aren't we, Annie?
00:24:33Quite right, dear.
00:24:34And what was so important that you had to rush off like that, Thomas?
00:24:38Leaving us on a siding in...
00:24:40In the middle of nowhere!
00:24:42In Maryland!
00:24:44In the middle of nowhere!
00:24:50I just... I'm sorry, but I had something I needed to do.
00:24:56Come on, Ashima! Let's get going!
00:25:00I wanted to be repainted.
00:25:14I thought the Fat Controller would take me to the railway show,
00:25:18if I was decorated in some special way.
00:25:21What do you mean, Thomas?
00:25:23You mean... like me?
00:25:25No, not like you.
00:25:28Well... yes, sort of.
00:25:33You are a very funny little tank engine!
00:25:39Every engine that I ever knew
00:25:42Was at least a little different from the others
00:25:47And some were very, very different too
00:25:52Even from their sisters and their brothers
00:25:59You can only be you
00:26:01There's nothing else you can possibly do
00:26:06It's plain to me that you're trying too hard
00:26:09So instead, just be who you are
00:26:12I don't want to be me!
00:26:14You wish you could be faster, bigger, stronger
00:26:17You wish you could have more than six more wheels
00:26:21You'd think if you were just a little longer
00:26:25You'd have more railway show appeal
00:26:28Of course! Every bit of me is short and stumpy!
00:26:32My funnel and my boiler and my dome!
00:26:37Can't you see my paintwork's old and frumpy?
00:26:41That's why I'll be the one who's left at home!
00:26:45Why do I have to be me?
00:26:48Is this what I'm really meant to be?
00:26:52Break me, shake me, take me all apart
00:26:56There has to be a better place to start
00:27:00Every bit of you is neat and tidy
00:27:04There's nothing that you need to rearrange
00:27:08If you ask me, you're completely bona fide
00:27:12What makes you think there's anything to change?
00:27:16Why do I have to be me?
00:27:19Is this what I'm really meant to be?
00:27:23Calm down, be quiet
00:27:27You know in your heart
00:27:29There isn't any other place to start
00:27:35Why do I have to be me?
00:27:38Is this what I'm really meant to be?
00:27:42Shake me, break me, take me all apart
00:27:46And find a better place to start
00:27:50You don't have to try, just be who you are
00:27:54And trust your six small wheels to take you far
00:28:04Thomas, are you any good at shunting and sorting out trucks?
00:28:14Yes, I'm very good! But why are you asking that?
00:28:18Because you could enter the shunting competition!
00:28:21All the best shunting engines are going to the Great Railway Show too!
00:28:26They are?
00:28:35The next morning, Thomas woke up with a smile on his face
00:28:40I'm going to work on my shunting
00:28:43I'll show the Fat Controller what I can do best!
00:28:47He hurried into the yard at Knapford Station to get to work
00:28:51Whoa! Hey!
00:28:55Sorry about that
00:28:57I didn't mean to surprise you, Thomas, but I'm afraid I can't help it
00:29:02I'm full of surprises
00:29:04Oop!
00:29:06Who's going to pull all those?
00:29:09Me, of course! But not until the Fat Controller arrives
00:29:13I want to show him how strong I really am!
00:29:17But nobody can get in or out of the yard, Diesel! I have shunting to do!
00:29:22Haven't you ever heard of being patient, Thomas?
00:29:26But Thomas didn't have time to be patient
00:29:29It was almost the day of the Great Railway Show
00:29:32and the Fat Controller was choosing his engines
00:29:35Ah, Percy!
00:29:37I'm looking for Thomas. Any idea where I might find him?
00:29:41I think he was heading out to the yard, sir, to shunt trucks
00:29:48As Diesel was refusing to move his long line of trucks
00:29:53Thomas had decided to try to move them himself
00:29:57Hello, Thomas!
00:29:59Hello, Ashima! I'm going to practice my shunting
00:30:02But first I need to get these trucks out of the way
00:30:05Whoa! These trucks are moving by themselves
00:30:09That's right! I'm going to move them by myself!
00:30:12WHISTLE BLOWS
00:30:14It's Diesel's signal!
00:30:16I didn't know Diesel had a whistle
00:30:18Maybe it just sounds like a whistle under here
00:30:22Let's start pushing!
00:30:25Cinders and ashes!
00:30:27Either these trucks are a lot lighter than they look
00:30:31or else they're moving by themselves!
00:30:34Whoa! Stop pushing!
00:30:38I say, look at Thomas!
00:30:41I knew he was good at shunting, but I never knew he was so strong
00:30:46Whoa!
00:30:47No, Thomas! What are you doing?
00:30:50You're going to spoil my trick!
00:30:54Whoa! Stop!
00:30:56Thomas! Look out!
00:31:10It was the day of the Great Railway Show
00:31:13The Fat Controller had selected all the engines that he wanted to take with him
00:31:18Ta-da!
00:31:20You both look amazing!
00:31:23I'm coming too!
00:31:25I'm going to carry the flag!
00:31:27Gordon, hold still! The men still have to complete their final safety check
00:31:33Well, you're taking too long!
00:31:36Everyone else is ready, and I'm not!
00:31:40Gordon, wait!
00:31:42No, I'm not waiting! I have a race to win!
00:31:54Wow!
00:31:56What's that, Gordon? On the side of you?
00:32:00That is my new emblem!
00:32:03I'm not called Gordon anymore
00:32:06From now on, I shall be known as the Shooting Star!
00:32:13Wow! The Shooting Star!
00:32:16That's right, little fellow
00:32:19Little fellow, just wait until my brother sees me!
00:32:26Meanwhile, back at the dieselworks, Diesel had some problems of his own
00:32:32You should have known it was Thomas pulling you and not me!
00:32:39Does that sound like a steamies whistle?
00:32:43Peep! Peep!
00:32:45But it is very hard to hear when you're under a crate, Diesel
00:32:49Oh, to see?
00:32:50Stop making excuses!
00:32:53If I was under a crate, I'd be able to...
00:32:59Ow! Get it off! Get it off!
00:33:07He's disappeared!
00:33:09He really is full of surprises
00:33:12No, I'm not! Get me down! Get me down!
00:33:21Get me out of here!
00:33:35We all realise how eager you were to take part in the Great Railway Show, Thomas
00:33:41You should have known better than to pull so many trucks on your own
00:33:45No wonder you had an accident!
00:33:48Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir
00:33:52But it's not as bad as it looks, either
00:33:54Of course! I didn't realise how strong you actually are
00:33:58I had been thinking of you for the Shunting Challenge
00:34:01The Shunting Challenge? Yes, sir!
00:34:04I'd love to take part in the Shunting Challenge! Thank you!
00:34:07But, Thomas, you can't take part now
00:34:11You need to be repaired, and the rest of the engines are ready to go
00:34:15Honestly, sir, it's only my buffers and a few dents
00:34:20I can still shunt trucks, sir. That's what I'm best at
00:34:23I know that, Thomas
00:34:26But Percy will represent Sodor in the Shunting Challenge today
00:34:31Me? But...
00:34:33That's right, Percy. Come along, the other engines are waiting
00:34:37Oh, Thomas, I really don't want to do this
00:34:41You're much better at shunting than I am
00:34:44Oh, I'm so sorry you can't go
00:34:47And I'm sorry too, Ashima
00:34:50Come on, Percy! We're waiting!
00:34:56This is all so terribly unfair
00:34:59That accident at Knapford wasn't your fault, Thomas
00:35:02There was something funny about those trucks
00:35:05If everybody's ready, let's go to the show!
00:35:12I think I'd better follow them
00:35:15I don't want to get lost again
00:35:18Goodbye, Thomas
00:35:20Goodbye, Ashima
00:35:22And good luck!
00:35:32S-O-D-O-R! What does that spell? Sodor!
00:35:44Come on, Sodor! Yes, for Sodor!
00:35:50Welcome, one and all!
00:35:53We have a full program of events today
00:35:56Starting shortly and featuring the most incredible locomotives
00:36:01From every corner of the globe
00:36:04Take your time to look around and admire the engines
00:36:08This is the world's largest locomotive show
00:36:12From every corner of the globe
00:36:14Take your time to look around and admire the engines
00:36:18This is going to be a day to remember
00:36:24Well, we're here
00:36:26So good luck, everybody
00:36:29And may the best engines win!
00:36:33Thanks, Ashima
00:36:34Good luck to you too
00:36:36Our first event, the Test of Strength
00:36:39Will take place in the South Western Yard at 12.30pm
00:36:44Followed by the Parade of Decorated Engines
00:36:47Which we expect to begin passing through the main yard from 1 o'clock
00:36:53Where am I supposed to go?
00:37:04Hello, brother
00:37:06Gordon? Is that you?
00:37:08I didn't recognize you at all
00:37:10I'm called the Shooting Star now
00:37:15Don't be ridiculous
00:37:17You won't think that I'm ridiculous when I win the Great Race
00:37:27We certainly have some strong contenders
00:37:30And we may be in for a bit of a shock
00:37:32If you know what I mean
00:37:34The atmosphere here is certainly electric
00:37:39Back at the steamworks on Sodor
00:37:42Thomas was still feeling rather sorry for himself
00:37:46You're not the only engine who's had to stay behind, my friend
00:37:50Look at me, I'm still here
00:37:53And there are plenty of other engines working all over the island
00:37:57The Fat Controller still has a railway to run, you know
00:38:00Please, boss, I have a question
00:38:02What's so important that you have to keep interrupting?
00:38:06What's this?
00:38:08That's Gordon's safety valve mechanism
00:38:11Yes, that's what I thought it was
00:38:15Gordon's safety valve?
00:38:17But that means Gordon hasn't been reassembled properly
00:38:20I told him to wait for his safety check
00:38:23If Gordon's safety valve isn't working properly
00:38:26He could overheat, especially at high speeds
00:38:29Gordon needs that part right now
00:38:32Take it to him, Victor
00:38:34Victor, just go!
00:38:36I can't take it, Thomas
00:38:38The only one here who can take it is you!
00:38:46So even though he wasn't fully repaired
00:38:49Thomas was sent to take Gordon the part he needed
00:38:56He raced right through Vicarstown to get to the bridge
00:39:01But then there was trouble
00:39:04Oh no!
00:39:08I've got to get across!
00:39:11I can't stop now!
00:39:26Ha ha ha ha! I did it! I did it!
00:39:30Thomas?
00:39:35Cinders and ashes!
00:39:38I'm on the wrong track!
00:39:40Get out of the way!
00:39:48Hero!
00:40:01I really must stop doing that
00:40:05Oh no!
00:40:10Would Mrs. Kindly please return to the refreshment tank near track 5?
00:40:16Mrs. Kindly to the refreshment tank
00:40:19Why did the Fat Controller ask me to do this?
00:40:22There's no way I'm going to win my event
00:40:25Well, I'm going to win mine
00:40:28I've found the track for the great race
00:40:30Come on, Shooting Star, follow me
00:40:35Sorry, didn't see you there
00:40:37Yeah? Well, you'd better watch where you're going, Shorty
00:40:41Or you might end up being recycled
00:40:49At last, Thomas arrived at the show
00:40:53Bust my buffers!
00:40:56This place is even bigger than I thought it would be
00:40:59So many engines!
00:41:01How am I going to find... Gordon?
00:41:05Gordon!
00:41:08Thank goodness, I found...
00:41:10Oh, you're not Gordon
00:41:13Do I look like a Gordon?
00:41:16My name is Frida
00:41:20And they're about to be set the challenge of a lifetime
00:41:24The test of strength
00:41:26And there they go!
00:41:29Some of the mightiest, most formidable machines
00:41:33Come to my headrest!
00:41:35Pull! Pull!
00:41:37In their tracks
00:41:39Look at how remote distance
00:41:41Put them all together and they could move a mountain
00:41:46Gordon!
00:41:48Gordon!
00:41:50Come back!
00:41:52I have something important to give to you
00:41:56Gordon!
00:42:00Wait!
00:42:01Thomas? What are you doing here?
00:42:04Thomas? Hi! I'm trying...
00:42:08To get to Gordon
00:42:10I have to give him something important
00:42:14How did you get on in the strongest engine competition, Henry?
00:42:18Oh, I came fifth
00:42:21Wow, that's great!
00:42:23There were only five engines
00:42:28And I've just been handed a piece of very exciting news
00:42:31The winner of the best decorated engine is...
00:42:35Oh, thank goodness!
00:42:37It's me!
00:42:39The winner of the best decorated engine is...
00:42:42Oh, thank you! Thank you, you're too kind
00:42:45From India
00:42:46India, Rajiv!
00:42:49And a splendid engine is far to imagine an engine more splendid than that
00:42:56Honestly, that should have been me
00:43:00Oh, Seema! Why weren't you in the parade?
00:43:04I'm competing in the shunting challenge, Emily
00:43:07Just because we're well-painted doesn't mean we can't do anything else
00:43:19Henry! Percy! Philip!
00:43:22It's Thomas!
00:43:26Hello, Thomas! I need to find Gordon urgently, it's an emergency
00:43:31I saw him before, but now I've lost him again
00:43:34That's because his race is about to begin, haven't you heard?
00:43:37The great race is about to begin in two minutes, ladies and gentlemen
00:43:42No! How did you make your voice do that, Philip?
00:43:45He can't race, he hasn't got his safety valve, his boiler could explode!
00:43:50Explode? Oh no! Follow me!
00:43:54Ladies and gentlemen, the engines are lined up now for the start of the great race
00:43:59And what a line-up it is!
00:44:01These are some of the fastest locomotives to be found on modern railways
00:44:06On track one, we have the French diesel-electric Etienne
00:44:10who'll be trying to beat his own world record today
00:44:13Next to him, we have Spencer
00:44:16And just listen to the local fans how wild!
00:44:19No, no, thank you!
00:44:25Good luck, little brother
00:44:29I don't think I'm the one who needs luck
00:44:32Gordon! Gordon! Thank goodness I found you
00:44:37Stop calling me that! My name is Shooting Star
00:44:42OK, sorry Gordon, I mean Falling Star, but you have to listen to me
00:44:48Victor says your safety valve hasn't been reassembled properly
00:44:51Oh nonsense, Thomas, there's no time for this, the race is starting
00:44:57Oh, no!
00:44:59No, Gordon, wait! You mustn't race!
00:45:02Oh, watch this! There's a little tank engine out there, bud!
00:45:07You can overheat! Your boiler could blow up!
00:45:10Oh, Thomas, will you stop your whining?
00:45:13There's no other engine, I won't be outshining
00:45:16Too late, I've got a date!
00:45:19Streamlining
00:45:23Whoosh! The Shooting Star is coming through
00:45:26Whoosh! Give up, there's nothing you can do
00:45:29Whoosh! Cos all you'll ever see of me
00:45:32Will be a shining streak of racing blue
00:45:38My clouds today all have a silver lining
00:45:41I'll see my bossy brother get some undermining
00:45:44Cos I'm the cream, the best in steam streamlining
00:45:49There's an adventurer still holding the lead
00:45:52But after a late start, the Shooting Star is coming up from behind
00:45:55Gordon? Gordon, that's not my name!
00:45:59You have to stop! Listen to me, Gordon, there's something wrong
00:46:03I can't stop, I won't stop!
00:46:07I don't know what's happening, but it looks like the Shooting Star is having some kind of trouble
00:46:14Whoosh! The Shooting Star is coming through
00:46:17Whoosh! Give up, there's nothing you can do
00:46:20I think it's all over
00:46:22Cos all you'll ever see of me will be
00:46:25A shining streak of racing blue
00:46:28It is now, he's boiling fast
00:46:32He's slowing down
00:46:36And the Shooting Star is out of the race
00:46:40What a tragedy
00:46:43Oh, the indignity
00:46:47So it's Spencer in the lead, Etienne coming up behind
00:46:50Followed by Axel of Belgium and the Flying Scotsman
00:46:53And as they approach the finish line, it looks like Spencer's going to take it
00:46:57But wait, Etienne is coming up faster
00:47:00Au revoir!
00:47:02And it overtakes Spencer at 8 past the line
00:47:05The winner is Etienne, the French diesel electric
00:47:09The French diesel electric setting a new world rail speed record here today!
00:47:22Come on Percy, you're our only hope
00:47:25Sodor hasn't won anything yet
00:47:28No, I don't want to, I'm too nervous
00:47:32And anyway, Thomas is here
00:47:35He's the one who should be in the shunting challenge, Emily
00:47:38Me?
00:47:39Oh, there he is! Thomas! Thomas!
00:47:43Uh-oh
00:47:45You again!
00:47:46Um, sorry
00:47:48Ah
00:47:53Fizzling fuegos
00:47:56Explosion
00:48:05That really does it
00:48:10So, there are all these different trucks all over the yard, Thomas
00:48:13That's right, and you have to sort them into flatbeds, boxcars and tankers
00:48:18Arranging three of each type on your sidings
00:48:21Plus a brake van and...
00:48:23Are you listening, Thomas? You need to be ready
00:48:27Me? Why me? Percy's the one who's competing, not me
00:48:32No, Thomas, I don't want to, I might lose
00:48:36Nonsense, Percy! You can do anything if you put your mind to it
00:48:41Just be who you are
00:48:44I am being me, Thomas
00:48:46And I want you to do the shunting challenge
00:48:49I really, really do
00:48:52But look at me, I can't possibly compete
00:48:55Please, Thomas, you're Sodor's only hope
00:48:59Ladies and gentlemen, there's still one more big event here at the Great Railway Show
00:49:04OK, I'll do it, but I might lose too, you know
00:49:11You? But you're not going to lose, are you, Thomas?
00:49:18The shunting challenge
00:49:20Trucks and brake vans are arranged on the rails, ready to be shunted into line
00:49:26The engines are already lining up for a test of not just speed, but quick thinking and agility
00:49:33Thomas, you're here
00:49:36Concentrate, Thomas, they're about to begin
00:49:40This is Sodor's last chance
00:49:44This is going to be interesting
00:49:47Go, Thomas, go!
00:49:50Do it, Thomas!
00:49:51The flatbeds! Get the flatbeds! Over there!
00:49:55Points!
00:49:57What? Hey, I was going for those
00:50:00It's a competition, silly, it's a race
00:50:04Points!
00:50:06Points!
00:50:08Points!
00:50:11Points!
00:50:15A race!
00:50:17Thomas, good for you!
00:50:19Points!
00:50:22Points!
00:50:27Thomas!
00:50:29Thomas!
00:50:31Look at him go!
00:50:33And the little blue tank engine Thomas is back in the race
00:50:37Thomas!
00:50:39Oh no, there's a disruption on the track
00:50:42What are you doing?
00:50:43I'm trying to get away
00:50:45Points!
00:50:46And another one
00:50:48And it will have to be halted
00:50:52Philip, look out!
00:50:59Oh dear, Shorty, looks like the race is over for you
00:51:05Yes, but this wasn't really a proper race
00:51:10I'm very good at proper races
00:51:13Shooting stars
00:51:15Huh?
00:51:17You leave my friend alone, you big bully
00:51:23So, you want to play tug-of-war, do you?
00:51:28Yes! Pull, Thomas!
00:51:31Oh, you got me
00:51:34Points!
00:51:38Go, Philip!
00:51:51Get it off me!
00:51:53Take that, big bully!
00:51:55Thomas, watch out!
00:52:05Thanks
00:52:07No need to be thanking me, Thomas
00:52:09After all, I am still going to beat you in the shunting challenge
00:52:13You are not!
00:52:15Yes, I am!
00:52:16Hey! Are you going to get me out of here, or what?
00:52:20Points!
00:52:22Look out!
00:52:24Points!
00:52:26Look out!
00:52:28Points!
00:52:30Come on, Thomas!
00:52:32Come on, Thomas!
00:52:38All I need is my breakback
00:52:41That's all I need, too
00:52:47Points!
00:52:56Ashima, look out!
00:52:58Your track is blocked
00:53:00Points!
00:53:02Hold on, he's switching tracks
00:53:04Thomas, what are you doing?
00:53:07Thomas!
00:53:08I don't believe it!
00:53:10He's smashed right into a zero track
00:53:13Ashima is taking the lead
00:53:15And Ashima is first past the hose
00:53:18The painted tank engine from India has raced all the way
00:53:21He was winning
00:53:23I told him she was trouble
00:53:25What an amazing finish, folks
00:53:27At the last minute, Thomas the tank engine from Sodor
00:53:30Seemed to forfeit the race to the little painted engine, Ashima
00:53:34Thomas, you let me win
00:53:38I know, but it wouldn't have been fair
00:53:42Your track was blocked
00:53:44But I wouldn't have minded if you had won, Thomas
00:53:48Wait a minute, what's this?
00:53:50The judges seem to be questioning the result
00:53:54Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this is quite exceptional
00:53:57The judges are about to make a special announcement
00:54:01With regard to the unusual events during the final moments of the Shunting Challenge
00:54:07We would like to declare there to be two winners
00:54:11Ashima, the tank engine from India
00:54:14For completing the challenge in the fastest time
00:54:17And in light of the sacrifice and efforts he has made to help another engine
00:54:23Thomas the tank engine from Sodor
00:54:28Congratulations, Thomas
00:54:31Congratulations to you too
00:54:33Thomas the tank engine
00:54:36I didn't realise that you were even here until after the Shunting Challenge started
00:54:41I only came to bring Gordon his safety valve, sir
00:54:44But I was too late
00:54:46And then Percy asked me if I would race in his place
00:54:49You mean you were trying to be really useful?
00:54:52Is that what you're saying?
00:54:55Well, congratulations, Thomas, because you were
00:55:00He was just being himself, sir
00:55:06You can only be you
00:55:09There's nothing else you can possibly do
00:55:13But where's Ashima?
00:55:16She didn't say goodbye
00:55:22Sir, the last of the big events are over for today, ladies and gentlemen
00:55:29Hey, Shooting Star!
00:55:31Just call me Gordon
00:55:33I've had quite enough of this streamlining luck
00:55:37Shame about the race, little brother
00:55:39But you know, you engines from Sodor are made of sterner stuff than I'd thought
00:55:47Why do you always have to call me little brother?
00:55:51We're exactly the same size!
00:56:11I've looked all around, Thomas, but I can't see her
00:56:15I don't know where she is
00:56:18All right, everybody, fill up those boilers and coal bunkers
00:56:22It's time we went back to Sodor
00:56:25We still have a railway to run
00:56:28Yes, sir
00:56:29Of course, sir
00:56:32Oh...
00:56:42Ashima! I thought maybe you'd gone
00:56:46You didn't think I'd leave without saying goodbye, did you?
00:56:50But I do have to catch that ferry and go home
00:56:55Oh, but that means we don't have to say goodbye yet
00:57:00You can come back to Sodor and catch your rail ferry from there
00:57:04It stops in Brendam Docks, remember?
00:57:07Good idea! You are clever
00:57:10Sometimes
00:57:12I can only be me
00:57:14There's nothing else I can possibly be
00:57:18And now I'm happy I am who I am
00:57:22I'll be the best me that I can
00:57:26You don't need to be faster, bigger, stronger
00:57:29You don't need more than six more wheels
00:57:33I don't need to be taller or be longer
00:57:37Being me now has its own appeal
00:57:41Be who you are and go far, go far
00:57:45Be who you are and go far
00:57:49Be who you are and go fast, go far
00:57:53Be who you are and go far
00:57:56We don't need to be faster, bigger, stronger
00:58:00We don't need more than six more wheels
00:58:04We don't need to be taller or be longer
00:58:08Being me now has its own appeal
00:58:14Be who you are and go far, go far
00:58:18Be who you are and go far
00:58:22Be who you are and go fast, go far
00:58:26Be who you are and go far
00:58:53Here?
00:58:55That's a good one
00:58:57Er, no, not there
00:59:01Are you sure he came down here?
00:59:04Yes, we were following him
00:59:07Everybody look for a talking crate
00:59:10Geisel!
00:59:12Hold on!
00:59:14Hey, where are you?
00:59:16Geisel!
00:59:19Excuse me
00:59:21Geisel!
00:59:23Geisel?
00:59:27Geisel?
00:59:29Geisel!
00:59:36Over here!
00:59:39Over here!
00:59:45I'm full of surprises
00:59:49He's full of surprises
00:59:51Just like he'll always be
00:59:53He brings some razzle dazzle to the yard
00:59:57He's full of surprises
00:59:59As you can plainly see
01:00:01He don't find being surprising all that odd
01:00:05Some would probably say
01:00:08He's only up to his old tricks
01:00:12But he'd say he's a problem solver
01:00:16Looking for a nice quick fix
01:00:23He's full of surprises
01:00:25Just like he'll always be
01:00:27He brings some razzle dazzle to the round
01:00:31He's full of surprises
01:00:33As you can plainly see
01:00:35He's trusting in surprises to prevail
01:00:38He hopes his time being surprising doesn't fail
01:00:42They used to call him devious
01:00:46Because he had a bit of previous
01:00:50But please you must believe he us
01:00:54He's not that bad
01:00:57Well maybe just a tad
01:01:06You
