- [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.
(happy music)
