- [Narrator] The engines on

Sir Topham Hatt's railway

love Brendam Docks,

there's always lots of work

to keep them busy and they

enjoy seeing new arrivals

onto the island of Sodor.

An exciting new

arrival was an engine

Cranky the crane was unloading.

It was heavy, "This makes my

chain ache," groaned Cranky.

"This is Harvey,

the crane engine,"

Sir Topham Hatt said proudly.

The other engines thought

Harvey looked strange.

Harvey was happy to

be on the ground.

He didn't like dangling

from Cranky's arm at all.

"These gentlemen are

the railway board,"

Sir Topham Hatt said,

"tomorrow Harvey

"will give them a demonstration.

"If it goes well, he

will join the railway."

"What's a dimmer station?"

"Demonstration," said Thomas.

"It's when you show

off what you can do."

"Like when Thomas

and I have a race,"

said Bertie, "Vroom, vroom!"

That evening Thomas

had just returned

from a hard day's work.

He saw Harvey parked

near the sheds.

Harvey could hear

the other engines

talking about him,

this made him sad.

"Harvey's different,"

said Henry.

"He doesn't even look like

an engine," said Edward.

"Surely Sir Topham

Hatt won't let him

pull coaches," sniffed Gordon.

"He's just Cranky on

wheels," said James.

"He's not taking my

mail," said Percy.

Thomas felt sorry for Harvey.

(sad music)

"Don't worry, sometimes it

takes time to make new friends."

(engine whistling)

But Harvey wasn't

sure he wanted to stay

where no one wanted him.

The next morning Sir Topham Hatt

sent the engines off

to a useful day's work.

"Maybe my coming here wasn't

"such a good idea, sir,"

Harvey chuffed sadly.

"Nonsense," said

Sir Topham Hatt.

"But the engines don't like

me, I'm too different."

"Different is what

makes you special."

And that made

Harvey feel better.

Out on the branchline,

Percy was having trouble

with the trucks, "Faster

we go, faster we go."

"Pull him along,

don't let him slow!"

"Help," cried Percy.

His driver applied the brakes.

(brakes screeching)

But it was too late

he went off the rails

at Bulgy's bridge.

(wood crunching)

Luckily, no one was hurt.

Bertie arrived and was pleased

Percy was all right.

(honking)

But he was also very cross,

"You've blocked the road,"

Bertie snapped.

(honking)

He was worried he

wouldn't get the gentlemen

of the railway board to

the demonstration on time.

(honking)

When Sir Topham

Hatt heard the news,

he went straight to Harvey.

"I need you to rescue

one of my engines!"

"I'll do my best, sir,"

Harvey said bravely.

And he set off immediately.

(gentle music)

Harvey soon arrived

and went to work.

In no time, Percy was

back on the tracks.

The gentlemen of the railway

board were very impressed.

(gentle music)

"That was the best

demonstration of all.

"The gentlemen of

the railway board

"have decided you shall

join the railway."

"Oh, thank you, sir,"

said Harvey proudly.

That night Harvey heard

the engines talking again.

This time it was different.

"Well done, Harvey,"

said Gordon.

"Very useful," said James.

"You can take my

mail," said Percy.

"You see," said Thomas,

"different can be good!"

All the engines agreed.

(engines tooting)

"Welcome to the Sodor

railway," they called.

Harvey smiled happily.
