04x15 - Rusty to the Rescue

- [Narrator] In spring time,

Rusty loves to visit

a far away place.

It's filled with Bluebells,

the air smells sweet,

and Rusty thinks there's

no better place to be.

One day, Thomas was passing by

just as Rusty was

having a drink.

"Beep, beep, good morning!

"You're driver looks a little

worried, I wonder why?"

"I don't know," said

Rusty, "but I soon will."

"Excuse me," said Rusty,

"but is something wrong?"

"Yes indeed."

replied the driver.

"They need another engine to

help run this special line."

"A Bluebell Engine," laughed

Rusty, "maybe I can find one."

Later Rusty saw

Douglas and Percy.

Rusty had an idea.

"Can you help me

find another engine."

"Where?"

"Where you found Oliver."

"You mean on the other railway?"

"Yes, I'm looking for

a Bluebell engine."

And Rusty explained everything.

"I'd like to help,

but these days

"it's only diesels

that go there."

Then Rusty decided, "So

that's where I'll go."

"Take care."

Rusty told the driver

all about the plan,

and that night, he

came back to the shed.

(crickets chirping)

"The manager says

he'll make a home

"for a Bluebell engine,

if you find one."

"Right" said Rusty,

"we'll find one tomorrow."

(upbeat music)

It took them all of the next day

to travel to the other railway.

Darkness fell and

the cold wind blew.

"Oh, what's that?"

But it was only the sounds

of the lonely scrapyard.

Diesels, silent and

still, lined up on guard.

"Who are you?"

Rusty plucked up courage.

"I'm a shed and sidings

inspection diesel.

"Have you any

engines in the shed?"

"No, none!"

Rusty rallied again, "Then

what about the sidings?"

"One, we have one."

Rusty grew braver still.

"Then I'll just go

in and inspect."

(ominous music)

A small engine

with a tall funnel

stood sad and alone

in the shadowy siding.

His driver was huddled in

the cab, keeping him company.

"Excuse me," said Rusty,

"do you like Bluebells?"

The engine looked startled.

"Yes, Bluebells are beautiful."

"Then you're soon going

to see lots of them,

"because I'm getting

you out of here."

Everyone worked fast.

(clinking of metal)

It was difficult

to set the fire,

but soon it was glowing hot,

and Stepney had a

good head of steam.

Rusty's engineer agreed

to be Stepney's fireman.

So off they set past the bleak

and brooding lines of diesels.

"Where is he

going?" they hissed.

"Just down the

line," replied Rusty.

And the chuffled quickly away.

"We've done it,"

whispered Rusty.

"We're over the border and

back on our own railway.

"Mission accomplished."

(Cheering)

When Rusty and the engine

arrived in the valley,

a big welcome awaited them.

"We shall mend you and give you

"a new coat of paint,"

said the manager.

His driver was delighted.

"You lucky old engine.

"You've been saved by

the Bluebell Railway."

"And my friend, Rusty.

"I wouldn't be here if

it weren't for Rusty."

Now the little engine

is as happy as can be,

and helps all the passengers

who visit at Bluebell time.

His name is Stepney,

but everyone calls him

the Bluebell Engine.
