[male narrator] "Diesel'’s Ghostly Christmas: Part Two."

[train engine chugging]

Come on, Diesel.

You must have been hearing things.

There'’s no such thing as...

-[faint moaning] -[gasps]

[gasps] Ghosts!

Oh, no!

[mysterious howling]

[laughs]

Oooh!

[Paxton] I am the ghost of Christmas present.

No, you'’re not!

[stammering] There'’s no such thing as ghosts!

Then I must be good at pretending.

You shouldn'’t be hiding, Diesel.

You should be out there enjoying all the extra jobs

that Christmas brings.

Ha! Enjoying?

Why would I enjoy doing extra work?

Because that'’s the way to make others happy, of course.

Close your eyes, Diesel, and think.

[groans]

[Paxton] Think of the smiles on people'’s faces

when they see the twinkling lights

and sing Christmas-y songs.

And think of the laughter and fun

as they open their presents.

Oooh, and think of the shiny face of Sir Topham Hatt

as he eats his Christmas pudd...

Diesel?

Ghosts aren'’t real! Ghosts aren'’t real!

Ghosts aren'’t real! [screams]

Ghosts aren'’t real!

[narrator] Diesel was in such a hurry

that he didn'’t see the damaged tracks

where Paxton had come off the rails.

[metal clangs]

[screaming]

[crash]

[grunts] Help! Help!

Help!Help!

-[gasps] -Thomas? Is that you?

Have you come to help me?

Sorry, Diesel, but I'’m far too busy.

It'’s nearly morning, and I have lots of jobs to do.

Today is the earl'’s grand Christmas lunch.

Thomas, wait!

[bird squawking]

Are you sure about this, Thomas?

Yes. Pile it on, Whiff.

[whistle toots]

[both laughing]

I can'’t tell it'’s you.

Perfect! That'’s the idea!

[laughs]

[sniffs]

What'’s that... that smell?

[moaning]

[gasps]

Help!

Somebody! Anybody!

I am the ghost of Christmas future.

Oh, no!

This is the worst Christmas ever.

If you think this is the worst Christmas,

let me tell you what your future Christmases will be like.

If you don'’t start helping others,

others will stop helping you,

and you'’ll be left alone.

Alone forever.

Forever!

Help!

[wind whistles]

[birds squawking]

Help!

I don'’t want to be left alone.

[narrator] Meanwhile, up at the castle,

the earl was getting ready for all the guests to arrive.

[whistle toots]

Oh, Merry Christmas, Percy!

Presents over there, please.

[train engine chugging]

[whistle toots]

[gasps] The choir is here!

Marvelous!

♪ Fa, la, la la, la, la, la ♪

♪ Fa, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la ♪

Oh, and the food for the lunch!

But where are all the guests?

[whistle toots]

Thomas?

Have... have you come to help?

Yes, Diesel. Of course I have.

I couldn'’t just abandon an engine

who had come off the tracks.

Oh, thank you, Thomas!

Thank you! Thank you!

[laughs]

I'’m as light as a feather!

I'’m as merry as a schoolboy! [laughs]

[laughs]

If there'’s anything I can do to help you,

just let me know, and I'’ll do it!

Really? Do you honestly mean that, Diesel?

Yes, Thomas, I do mean it. I do.

[exclaims] I can take Rocky back to the Search and Rescue Center.

Thanks, Diesel.

That would really help.

I'’m already late to take the guests

to the earl'’s Christmas lunch.

[whistle toots]

[train engine chugging]

[whistle toots]

[whistle toots]

[narrator] Finally, Thomas arrived at Knapford

to pick up the passengers.

[whistle blows]

[whistle toots]

[narrator] He was in such a race

to get to Ulfstead Castle

that one important passenger got left behind.

Huh?

[sputters] Wait for me!

[narrator] Diesel had taken Rocky

back to the Search and Rescue Center

and was feeling very pleased with himself.

I never thought I'’d say it, but it feels good to be helpful.

Yes, it feels...

[faint moaning]

Oh, no! Not another ghost!

[Sir Topham Hatt] Oh, my ankle!

Sir?

Shouldn'’t you be at the castle?

Yes, but I have no way of getting there.

[instrumental melody of "Jingle Bells"]

[choir] ♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride

♪ In a one-horse open sleigh Hey! ♪

♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells

-♪ Jingle all the way -[whistle toots]

♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh ♪

Thomas!

Merry Christmas, sir!

Welcome to my grand Christmas lunch!

But where'’s Sir Topham?

[whistle toots]

Room for one more?

[crowd cheers]

Let the grand Christmas lunch begin!

[crowd cheers]

Those ghosts were right!

It is quite nice to be helpful

and see everyone happy!

[Paxton laughs]

Well done, Thomas! Your plan worked.

Diesel is now a really helpful engine.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Merry Christmas, Diesel!

Merry Christmas, Thomas!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

[all laughing]
