- [Narrator] Skarloey and
Rheneas work on the railway
that weaves around lakes
and along mountain sides.
Their coaches are
filled with visitors,
and the engines are
proud to run the line,
come rain or shine.
(gentle music)
The engines will never
let their passengers down,
but they are old, and
they tire more easily.
Their drivers understood this,
and they spoke kindly to them.
"There's more than enough work
"for both of you
on this railway.
"The manager is sending
two more engines
"to help us run the line."
Skarloey and Rheneas were
pleased with this news,
and promised to give the
new engines a big welcome.

When Sir Handel and
Peter Sam arrived,
they found they
had much to learn.
(steam hissing)
"What a small shed,"
grunted Sir Handel.
"This won't do at all.
"We're much too good
for this old shack."
"I think it's nice,"
said Peter Sam.
"Ha," replied Sir Handel.
"What's that rubbish?"
"Shh," said Peter Sam.
"That's Skarloey.
"He's famous."
And then he whispered
to Skarloey,
"I'm sorry, Skarloey,
Sir Handel's upset now,
"but he's quite nice, really."
Skarloey felt sorry
for Peter Sam.
"Now, Sir Handel,"
said the fireman.
"I will get you ready for work."
"I'm tired.
"Let Peter Sam
go, he'd love it."
"No, you're first."
Sir Handel puffed away
to fetch his coaches.
He didn't like the
look of them at all.
(steam hissing)
"Whatever next?
"Those aren't coaches,
they're cattle cars."
"Oh," screamed the coaches.
"What a horrid engine."
(steam hissing)
"It's not what I'm used
to," clanked Sir Handel.
He rolled to the platform
just as Gordon arrived.
"Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Gordon, who are you?"
"I'm Sir Handel."
"I've heard of you.
"You're an express engine,
"so am I, but I'm
used to new coaches,
"not these cattle cars.
"Do you have new coaches?
"I see you do.
"We must have a chat.
"Sorry, I can't stop.
"We must keep time, you know."
Gordon was speechless.
Clouds of steam filled the air
as Sir Handel huffed and
puffed along the line.
(gentle music)
(steam hisses)
He was still cross when they
reached the top station.
Sir Handel was
hoping for a rest,
but his driver
thought otherwise.
"We'll leave the coaches now,
"and fetch some cars
from the quarry."
"Cars," snorted Sir Handel.
"Cars, I won't, so there."
Sir Handel was about to cause
a great deal of trouble.
(loud clanking)
(steam hissing)
"Told you," said Sir Handel.
By the time workmen
came to rescue him,
Sir Handel was
feeling rather silly.
To make matters worse,
there stood Sir Topham Hatt.
His message to Sir Handel
was brief and blunt.
"I shall talk to you later."
Then he and the fireman
left with Peter Sam.
Sir Handel felt sillier still.
"Come on," said his driver.
"Let's get you
back on the rails."
When Sir Handel crawled home,
he found Sir Topham
Hatt waiting for him.
"You're a very naughty engine.
"I hope I can
trust you to behave
"when you next come
out of this shed."
After hearing that, I'm sure
Sir Handel will, aren't you?
(lively music)
