- [Narrator] It was a beautiful
day on the Island of Sodor.
(horn whistles)
Donald and Douglas
are Scottish twins.
They enjoy working on Sir
Topham Hatt's railway.
(elegant bagpipe music)
But sometimes, they long for
Scotland, their old home.
One day, Sir Topham Hatt
called them to the docks.
"Lord Callan's castle
is finally reopening.
"There is to be a grand
celebration tomorrow.
"I need you to take the banners,
"bunting, and bagpipes
to the castle.
"Harvey, you must load
them straight away."
"Yes, sir," chuffed Harvey.
The twins were excited.
Going to Lord Callan's castle
would be like going home again.
Soon, Harvey had finished
loading the freight.
"Where are you
going?" asked Percy.
"Lord Callan's castle,"
Donald proudly announced.
"By Castle Loch."
"I'm glad I'm not
going to Castle Loch,"
wheeshed Percy nervously.
"Scared the monster might
get ya?" teased Douglas.
"He might," said Donald.
"There's no monster."
"There is too."
"There is not."
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too."
(gentle music)
Lord Callan's castle
is in Misty Valley.
Donald and Douglas
were determined
to get the important goods
to the castle in time.
They puffed proudly
along the loch
towards their destination.
"There it is!" cried Donald.
"We're almost there!"
shouted Douglas.
But there was trouble ahead,
trees had fallen
across the line.
Donald and Douglas
stopped just in time.
Then, suddenly, there
was a loud crash.
The break van had been
hit by the landslide
and come off the rails.
They were stuck.
"We could take the causeway,"
said Donald's driver.
Douglas's driver knew the
causeway was old and rickety.
"It's too dangerous," he said.
The twins were worried.
"We'll never get to the
castle now," chuffed Donald.
"I'll call for help."
"Splendid outfit, sir."
Sir Topham Hatt was trying on
his present from Lord Callan
when he heard the news.
"Donald and Douglas trapped
by the loch?" he said.
"I'll send help
as soon as I can."
But the hours passed.
It grew dark and cold, and
still no help had come.
Suddenly, the twins
spotted something strange
through the mist.
(mysterious music)
"What's that?!" called Donald.
"Is it the monster?"
cried Douglas.
"For sure it is,"
answered Donald.
"It's not a monster, it's us."
It was Harvey and
the breakdown crane.
Donald and Douglas
were relieved.
By morning, the
lines were clear.
(horn whistles)
Donald and Douglas
hurried off to the castle.
(elegant music)
Lord Callan's
workers were waiting
to unload the freight cars.
Soon, the castle was decorated.
The grand opening
was a great success.
Lord Callan was pleased.
"A splendid pair of engines."
"And very useful,"
added Sir Topham Hatt.
"Och aye!" agreed the twins.
