Hi, everyone!
If something is old
or broken,
you might want
to throw it away.
But often broken things can be
repaired, recycled,
or reused.
Watch and see!
[whistle toots]
All aboard for a big adventure!

[curious music]
[thunder rumbling]
[Thomas narrating]
Oof!
I need to get indoors.
And fast!
[thunder rumbling]
Whoa.
I hope this storm
doesn't cause too much damage.
[lightning zaps]
The next morning
the storm was over.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
But the school at Harwick
had been badly damaged
and the children couldn't use
it again until it was rebuilt.
- Steady now.
Stop pushing.
Not so loud.
- Oh, dear.
What's the problem?
- All the children
from Harwick School
have to come to school
in Knapford now.
And I'm the one who had
to bring them this morning.
- That sounds like a fun job.
- Fun?
Crumbs on my lovely upholstery.
Sticky fingers on
my beautiful clean windows.
And don't even mention
my springs.
You'll have to take them home
this afternoon, Thomas.
I'm off to see my fitter.
[horn honks]
- But...
Daisy, I'm busy
on my own branch line!
- I could do it, Thomas.
I'd love that.
I'll just take these cars
to the scrap yard
and find myself a coach.
[whistle toots]
- Aha!
Here's something
that can be reused.
Oh, hello, Duck!
- Hello, Reg.
Why are you so excited
about an old car tire?
- An old car tire to you, Duck,
but bung on a couple
of chains
and this'll make
a brilliant swing
for the kiddie's playground.
Repair.
Recycle. Reuse.
Ha, with a new leg, this could
be repaired and good as new.
- Love to stop and chat, Reg,
but I'm in a bit
of a hurry today.
- Oh.
All right.
Bye, then.
[blows]
Oh dear.
But it could be recycled
as a lovely flower pot.
- Now where can I find a coach?
Great.
There's Hannah!
She doesn't look busy.
[clears throat]
I have a very special job
for you, Hannah:
collecting the children
from school.
- Ooh, yay!
Oh, can we go fast?
Children love going fast!
- Now, Hannah, there are
two ways of doing things.
The Great Western Way
or the wro--
- Faster, Duck, faster!
Please?
[rock music]
- My coach!
Duck!
Wait!
Stop!
Sorry, Duck.
I need Hannah while
Henrietta's at The Steamworks.
- Oh, sorry, Toby.
I'm sure I'll find
another coach.
- But that was easier said
than done.
- Hello, Edward.
[whistle toots]
Will you be using these
slip coaches all afternoon?
- Yes, Duck.
I'm afraid I will.
- Sorry, Duck.
We'll be up at Callan Castle.
Have to go now.
Bye.
- Uh, Gordon...
- No!
- Right.
[sighs] Why is there
never a spare coach around
when you need one?
- Hello?
Who's that?
Who's looking for a coach?
- [gasps]
Who said that?
- Over here!
That's it. This way.
You said you were looking
for a coach, and here I am.
I'm Dexter.
- I'm Duck.
Uh...
how long have you been here?
- I was shunted here years ago
when me axles went.
But what's the job?
I'm ready to roll.
- Well...
I'm not sure--
- Come on. Chop chop.
Just pull me out,
and we'll be on our way.
- Well, I do need a coach...
[thud]
[straining]
- That's it! Keep going!
Nearly there.
- [straining]
I'm sorry, Dexter.
I do need a coach, but I
need one I can actually pull.
- I can be useful.
Honestly.
I just need some new wheels.
Any kind of wheels.
I'm not fussy.
[angelic harp music]
Speedy racing wheels.
Whee!
Monster truck wheels.
Ha ha!
Caterpillar tracks.
I can go anywhere!
Oh.
- Duck felt bad about
leaving his new friend,
but Dexter's wheels
wouldn't work,
so what could Duck do?
- Duck?
Where are you going?
Thomas told me
you were collecting
the children from school today.
- Sorry, Daisy.
I wanted to, but I can't
find a working coach.
I'm afraid I won't be able
to help
with the school run after all.
- Well, I can't do it.
And it could be months before
that school gets repaired.
- And that's when Duck
had an idea.
- Repaired?
What did Reg say again?
Repair.
Recycle. Reuse!
- Excuse me, Duck?
- All this time,
I've been looking for a coach.
But that's not really
the problem at all.
[whistle toots]
Bye, Daisy!
[whistle toots]
- Did you find yourself a coach
to pick up the children, Duck?
- Actually,
I found something even better!
[whistle toots]
- Ha, Duck!
- Hello, Dexter.
Meet Judy and Jerome.
- Hello there, Dexter.
- We've come
to get you out of here.
- You mean, I'll soon
be back on my wheels?
- Uh, not exactly,
but you are going
to be really useful.
[stirring music]
- Thank you, Duck.
It's lovely to be
really useful again.
- Like I always say, Dexter,
there are two ways of--
[children laughing]
- So although Dexter's
wheels couldn't be repaired,
he could be reused as
a school classroom.
[bell tolling]
[whistle toots]
Sometimes we throw things away
that can still be
really useful.
[steam whooshes]
Reg loves finding ways
of reusing old scrap.
One year he even made himself
a Christmas tree from scrap.
And Duck is good
at reusing things too.
When the school at Harwick
was damaged in a storm,
Duck went looking for a coach
to take the children
to another school.
He found poor Dexter
abandoned on a siding.
It was Duck's idea to turn the
old coach into a classroom,
which meant Dexter
was really useful again.
So before you decide
to throw something away,
stop and ask yourself,
"What would Reg do?"
And see if it could be
repaired, recycled, or reused.
[whistle toots]
- Come on, Thomas!
- It's time to go.
- See you next time!
