[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

Have you ever been having

so much fun

that you didn't want to stop?

Well, my friend Shane

on the Australian railway

knows all about that.

[whistle toots]

All aboard for a big adventure!

"Laid Back Shane."

[whistle toots]

G'day, cobbers.

It's your lucky day!

You're off to the Red Centre

with the number one

engine in town!

With Thomas?

Yes!

No, Aubrey, with me.

Huh!

Oh.

[whistle toots]

G'day, cobber.

Who's Cobber?

You!

Cobber means friend, Tom-O.

[laughs]

G'day then, cobber.

Where are you off to

with those cars?

The Red Centre!

Us, too!

We could all go together!

It's hotter

than the sun today,

so we'll have to be careful

we don't melt out there!

[chuckles]

I'm just kidding!

But refuel whenever you can.

It's a long journey.

Yeah, you don't want to run

out of coal out there... ahh!

Last one to Red Centre

is a wobbly wombat!

-[chuckling]

-Whoo-hoo!

[whistle toots]

[Thomas]

The journey to the Red Centrewas even betterthen I remembered.

[bird chirping]

Look at that over there,

Thomas!

This is the life, eh?

Cruisin' through

the wonders of Australia.

Hey, look at that funny,

big bird!

It's an emu!

I wondered why

it looked so emu-sing!

[laughing]

G'day, koalas!

[chuckles]

[Thomas]

It was a very long journeyso I made sureI kept refueling,-but Shane wasn't so keen.-

[whistle toots]

-Need a top off, fellow?

-No, thanks!

Tender engines like me

don't need to fill up as often

as you little guys, Tom-O.

Uh, are you sure

about that, Shane?

No need to stop!

Why spoil the fun?

-Oh-ho!

-Let's keep going!

[whistle toots]

Oh! You shouldn't blow

your whistle at animals, Shane.

Aww, that's no fun!

I learned from Tamika

that animals

need to be

respected and protected.

[bouncing]

See? We just needed

a little patience.

Okay, okay.

Right, Shane-O.

You've absolutely

got to fuel up this time.

What's with all the nagging?

I'll be fine

getting to the next station.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

Sure, I'm sure.

Tell you what else

I'm sure of, Tom-O.

You'll never catch me up!

Let's go!

Whoo!

[whistle toots]

Wait up, Shane!

The closer we gotto the Red Centre,the hotter it became.

-[sighs]

-Ah, it's so hot.

[whistle toots]

See?

I knew I had enough coal

to get here.

Fill me up, baby!

Sorry, mate.

We're out.

We're waiting on a delivery,

but it won't come for hours...

if at all today.

Hours?

We haven't got hours.

We've got a date

with the Red Centre.

[sighs]

Right-O.

Let's get to the next stop.

No way, Shane!

We won't make it

to the next stop.

You haven't refueled at all!

You're running

really low on coal.

Eh... why didn't you guys

say anything?

[both]

We did!

At every single station!

Oh, yeah.

You don't want to end up

stranded in the middle

of the hot desert, Shane.

What about your passengers?

Oh, fine.

I'll wait here

for the coal to arrive.

Good decision, Shane.

Sorry I can't wait for you.

I need to make my delivery.

Yeah, no sweat Tom-O!

Catch you later!

Did the coal come already?

-No, it didn't.

-[Shane] Chill!

We're already halfway

to the next station.

Don't worry, Tom-O.

-[engine stalling]

-There's no problemo... oh...

What did we tell you, Shane?

Nobody listens to us coaches.

Hey, you can share my coal.

Ah, thanks, Tom-O.

No offense,

but you're only

a tiddly little t*nk engine.

You don't have enough coal

to be sharing with anyone.

Shane's right, Thomas.

The last thing we need

is you stranded, too.

But what about

your passengers?

I know,

how about you leave

your cars behind

and take my passengers,

while I wait for you

to come back with some coal?

Oh, you're right, Shane!

My delivery can wait.

This is an emergency!

[clanking]

[whistle toots]

Yeah, no.

Totally fine on my own.

Surrounded by nothing

but hot red sand.

Yup, I'll just wait here

until he gets back.

Who gets back?

Uh... uh, Thomas, of course.

Yes.

With some lovely...

Coal.

Get your ice cold coal!

[splashing]

Yes!

[laughing]

[thudding]

Ahh...

-So refreshing.

-[whistle tooting]

[Thomas]

Coal deliverycoming through!

Fresh coal for a Mr. Wombat.

Ah, you guys are lifesavers.

Thanks so much.

Sorry I didn't listen.

I bet you all want to say,

"I told you so!"

-Don't you?

-Nah, of course not.

[both]

We already did that!

[laughing]

[whistle toots]

Have you ever been

so impatient

that you did something

you weren't supposed to do?

One time, I didn't wantto wear my snow plow.So I had it taken off.Sir Topham Hatt warned menot to go out without it.But I did it anyway...and got stuck in the snow.Shane was havingso much fun on our journeyto the Red Centre,that he wouldn't stopto fill up with coal.But then he ran outin the middle of the desertand got stranded.

Sometimes it's important to do

something you don't want to do.

It can make your life easier,

and leave you with more time

-to have fun.

-[whistle blows]

Come on, Thomas!

It's time to go.

See ya next time!
