- [George] One morning,

Sir Topham Hatt

and his grandchildren

came to see Toby.

"Come on, Toby, we're

all going to the seaside.

"We will ride in Henrietta."

"Yes sir," said Toby happily.

They came to a small

seaside station.

Soon, the children were

playing in the sand,

building a splendid castle.

Sir Topham Hatt inspected it.

"My word, it's a

very fine castle.

"Have you seen a

real one like it?"

"Yes," replied the children.

"It's here on the island."

And they showed him a map.

"Hmm," pondered Sir Topham Hatt.

They met Toby at the harbor.

"Come along, we are

going exploring."

(bell rings)

(playful music)

Soon, they were in the

wildest part of the island.

They stopped by a

lonely signal box.

"Where are you going?"

asked the signalman.

"We're trying to

find an old castle."

"I know the place, sir,"

said the signalman.

"There's a small junction

not too far down the line.

"Just switch the points."

When the fireman

switched the points,

their adventure really began.

Toby pushed past

branches and bushes

until they came to

another little junction.

There they saw two signs saying

To the Castle and To the Mine.

"We'll go to the castle first."

Toby stopped by an

old water tower.

"There's the castle!"

"Yes," replied Sir Topham Hatt.

"And now we shall

visit the mine."

Once upon a time, the

mine had been worked

by the little engines, and

their lines were still in place,

but now everything was

very rusty and overgrown.

(steam hisses)

Sir Topham Hatt

was most impressed,

but Toby was rather scared.

He was glad when it

was time to go home.

"I think the castle in the mine

"will make a fine

place for visitors,

"but it will take some

hard work, first."

"Yes sir," said Toby, nervously.

Sir Topham Hatt's plans

were soon put into action,

but Toby was still worried.

"I'm sure this place is

haunted," he thought.

"It's our turn to stay here

on guard tonight, Toby."

"Oh yes, why not?"

stuttered Toby.

"Beware of the ghost,

Toby," Thomas said.

"What ghost?" asked Toby.

"The old warrior ghost.

"Every night he lights his

fire, then goes hunting.

"Toot, toot, goodbye!"

Night came.

Toby looked anxiously around.

Everything seemed rather spooky.

Quite suddenly, he heard

a strange wheezing sound.

"It's the ghost!" he wailed.

"What ghost?" his driver asked.

"It's the old warrior,

he's come to hunt me down!"

"Don't be so daft, we'll

go and investigate."

They returned quite soon.

"The old warrior wants to meet

you," laughed his fireman.

"Can't it wait till

morning?" replied Toby.

"Ghosts don't work day

shifts," said his driver.

Toby bravely made his way.

"Well bless my

bell," he exclaimed.

There, in front of him,

was a little old engine.

"This is your ghost,

Toby," said the signalman.

"His name's really Bertram,

but we call him the old warrior

"because he's so brave."

Bertram and Toby

are now friends.

They take the visitors to

the castle and the mine.

If there are any ghosts

here, they certainly help

to make the place very happy.
