The railcar and the coaches.
Daisy is a diesel railcar,
the only one in all of Sodor.
That means
she can carry passengers
without having to pull
any coaches.
Daisy works on the branch line
that runs all the way up
to the holiday town of Harwick.

came to an end,

narrator: One day,
Sir Topham Hatt arrived

I'm putting you to work

needed today.
You can stay
right where you are.
- What?
- No!
- Thomas' passengers
will be so pleased
when they're picked up by
a highly sprung diesel railcar.
"How much more comfortable
this is," they'll say,
"than the usual lumpy,
bumpy old"--
- Hey, Daisy, you should be
nicer to Annie and Clarabel.
One day, you may need them.
- Not me, Thomas.
I'm a diesel railcar.
I never need coaches.

- Really!
- How perfectly awful!
- Oh, don't listen
to Daisy.
You're both really useful.
And at least
you've got each other.

- Thomas is right, Annie.
We've got each other
for company.
And I'd rather be stuck
in this shed
than be pulled along
by a dreadful diesel.

How dull it must be for you.
I can go anywhere I like,
