[Narrator] "The Lost Puff."

Early one morning, Sir Topham Hatt

had a very important announcement to make.

Listen carefully, now.

A section of the track just beyond the water tower

at Knapford Bend has buckled in the hot sun.

You must take special care and mind your speed

when passing through that area.

[Narrator] All the engines were listening very carefully,

all the engines except Paxton, the diesel.

[Paxton giggles]

Pay attention, Paxton!

I can't help it. Look.

There's a duck over there.

[duck quacks]

[Thomas and Paxton laughing]

Thomas, Paxton, are you listening to me?

Yes, sir!

Sorry, sir.

May I remind you all, and you two, in particular,

not to be silly.

[duck quacking]

Keep your mind on the job.

We don't want any accidents.

[train horns honking]

I will take these cars to the Shunting Yard

and keep my mind on the job.

-No silliness. -[duck quacking]

Soon, I'll be coming up to the damaged track

Sir Topham Hatt warned us about.

I'd better slow down.

[Narrator] As Paxton rolled over the bumpy track,

it rattled his radiator and clattered his connectors.

[Paxton laughing]

Ooh! That was fun!

Oh, that's brilliant!

[Narrator] Sir Topham Hatt's words flew out

of Paxton's cooling fans.

All he could think of was being silly.

[train horn honks]

Now what's so funny, Paxton?

Listen to the sound I make

when I go over the bumpy track.

[Paxton laughs]

Oh, that's amazing!

You try it, Thomas!

[both laugh]

That was fun!

Go on, get a good run at it, and go back really fast.

Good idea!

[Narrator] Thomas went ahead so he could get a good start

to the bumpy bit of track.

[Thomas laughing]

Then there was trouble!

Oh, no!

[Narrator] Thomas had bumped right into Toby,

who had been taking on water at the water tower.

Luckily, nobody was hurt.

Oh, my!

Oh.

[Narrator] Paxton didn't wait around

to see what had happened.

He was too upset.

Sir Topham Hatt told me not to be silly, but I was silly.

And now, there's been an accident, just like he said.

[Narrator] Paxton was in the shunting yard,

picking up some cars when Toby arrived.

Morning, Toby! How are you?

You'll never guess what happened!

Thomas backed into me at the water tower!

He got soaked!

I'm afraid poor Thomas has lost his puff.

Lost his puff?

Oh, no! That sounds serious!

[Narrator] Paxton felt terrible.

Thomas, I'm so sorry!

I made you be silly and lose your puff!

-But-- -Don't worry!

I'll find it for you.

Stay here.

I'll be back just as soon as I can!

But, Paxton...

-[train horn honks] -what are you talking about?

Lost puff, lost puff.

What does a lost puff even look like?

Ah-ha! There it is!

[Narrator] Paxton thought he'd found Thomas' lost puff,

but it turned out to be Gordon,

building up a good head of steam as he pulled the Express.

Paxton did feel silly.

That wasn't Thomas' puff!

Maybe that's it.

On top of the hill!

[Narrator] Paxton hurried off after Thomas' puff.

He climbed all the way up to Ulfstead Castle,

but no matter how high he went,

Thomas' puff still seemed far away.

Hello, Paxton.

What are you doing here?

Phew! Hi, Stephen.

Thomas lost his puff, and I'm trying to find it.

And... Well...

I thought that might be... the lost puff... up there.

Up there?

Well, that's just a cloud.

Yes. Of course. I knew that.

A cloud.

Okay, got to go.

Great to see you.

Bye, Stephen.

[train horn honks]

[Narrator] Paxton felt very silly, chasing after a cloud.

He sped away as fast as his wheels could carry him.

What do I know about Steamies?

I'm a diesel.

[Narrator] Suddenly, an idea snuck

into Paxton's exhaust stack.

Victor! He knows all about fixing up Steamies!

He'll know what to do!

[Narrator] Paxton hurried to the Steamworks.

Hello, my friend.

What can I do for you today?

We don't normally repair diesels here.

I know, Victor.

I just wondered if you had any spare puff.

Spare puff?

It's for Thomas.

We were being silly on the bumpy track,

and he backed into Toby and lost his puff.

But you repair Steamies.

You must know about puff!

[Toby laughing]

[Narrator] Toby was laughing so hard,

he thought his side plates might fall off,

but Paxton didn't think it was very funny.

Thomas has lost his puff, Toby!

It's no joke!

I'm sorry, Paxton.

Puff just means steam.

When Thomas backed into me at the water tower,

his firebox got wet.

That's all.

A Steamie can't puff when his fire's gone out.

Ah, I see!

That's what you meant by "Thomas lost his puff."

[Narrator] Yet again, Paxton felt silly...

until he realized something.

So, all Thomas has to do is wait

'til his firebox has dried out?

And then he'll get his puff back?

-[Toby and Victor] Yes. -Great!

Thanks, Toby!

-[train horn honks] -[Toby and Victor laugh]

[Narrator] Paxton looked for Thomas

back at the water tower.

[train horn honks]

Thomas! You're okay now!

Yes, thank you, Paxton.

See? I found my puff.

Don't be silly, Thomas.

All you had to do was wait for your firebox to dry out.

[Thomas laughs]

I know!

I was only joking.

Oh. But the joke's on me, Thomas.

At least I learned something today.

What did you learn?

That "puff" just means "steam"?

Yes, but I also learned

that when Sir Topham Hatt says, "Don't be silly,"

I shouldn't be so silly.

-[both laugh] -[duck quacks]

Oh!

Oh, look there's a duck.

Ooh, he can't catch it!
