mean every day Sir Topham hat came to

the station to catch his train hello he

always said to Thomas don't let the

silly Fred cars tease you remember you

have an important job as a special

helper in the train

yard

there were lots of freight cars and

Thomas worked very hard pushing and

pulling them into place there was also a

small Coach and two strange things his

driver called

cranes that's the breakdown train he

told

Thomas the cranes are for lifting heavy

things like engines and coaches and

Freight Cars one day Thomas was in the

yard suddenly he heard an engine

whistling help help a freight train came

rushing through much too fast the engine

was James and he was fighting his fright

blocks were on fire they're pushing me

they're pushing me he panted on on laugh

the freight calls still whistling help

help poor James

disappeared I'd like to teach those

Freight calls a lesson said Thomas the

Tank Engine Soon came the alarm James is

off the line the breakdown train

quickly

Thomas was coupled on and off they

[Music]

went Thomas worked his hardest hurry

hurry hurry he puffed he wasn't

pretending to be like Gordon he really

meant it bother those Freight cars and

their tricks I hope poor James isn't

[Music]

hurt James's driver fireman were feeling

him all over to see if he was

hurt never mind James they said it was

those silly Freight calls on your old

wooden brakes that caused the

accident Thomas pushed the breakdown

train alongside then he pulled away the

unheard tra cars oh dear oh dear they

groaned serves you right serves you

right po

Thomas

he was hard at work puffing backwards

and forwards all afternoon this will

teach you a lesson this will teach you a

lesson he told the freight

cause and they answered yes it will yes

it

will they left the broken cars then with

two cranes they put James back on the

[Music]

rails

[Music]

he tried to move but he couldn't so

Thomas helped him back to the

shed

[Music]

so topam hat was waiting anxiously for

them well Thomas he said I've heard all

about it and I'm very pleased with you

you're a really useful engine James

coat of paint and you shall have a

branch line all all to yourself oh thank

Thomas now Thomas is as happy as can be

news go Gordon is always in a hurry but

never forgets to say po po and Thomas

always whistles Peep Peep in

important when he was pulling the

breakdown train oh no he was worried

about James he wanted to help him I wish

P It Done Yet now watch your paws and

uh

Harry maybe you could use

string I've been thinking too much about

solder

string that's the

[Music]

ticket Square

you cool

[Music]

yeah kids I want to thank you very much

it was uh heck of a good

idea big

home you later

grandma

stre there's only a little bit left

let's do something really special with

it Ma you have been busy of course

string can be a great Problem Solver now

why does that remind me of James how

friend the train you can't fix the train

with spring I didn't say you could good

cuz you can't

it was a shoelace a shoelace and a

newspaper really really they're very

clever on the island of Sodor almost as

clever as your grandpa Miss tanel

lasagna let me show

you James was enjoying his life on the

island of Sodor but he still had a lot

to

learn you're a special mixed traffic

engine said s top them hat you can pull

coaches or Freight cars quite easily but

you must learn by your mistakes James

knew what to Topham had me he could well

remember that Dreadful accident on his

first

day be careful with the coaches James

said kind little Edward they don't like

being

bumped everyone came to admire James I'm

a really Splendid engine he thought and

suddenly let off

steam a shower of water on S topham's

nice new Top Hat just then the conductor

blew his whistle and James thought they

had better go go on go on he puffed to

Edward don't push don't push replied

Edward the coaches were grumbling too

don't go so fast don't go so fast but

James didn't

[Music]

listen when at last they stopped at the

next station two coaches were Beyond the

platform they had to go back to let the

passengers out but no one seemed to know

about the topham's new hat so James felt

happier presently they came to the

station where Thomas was waking with his

two

coaches hello James said Thomas feeling

better that's

right oh that's my conductor's whistle I

must go I don't know what the toam hat

would do without me to run this Branch

line and he puffed off

importantly Edward and James passed the

field where James had had it accident

the fence was mended and the cows were

back

[Music]

again they ended their journey and

rested before setting off for home James

was still wondering what s Topham would

have to say about his new hat

next morning he spoke severely to James

if you can't behave I shall take away

your red coat and have you painted blue

James didn't like that at

all he was very rough with the grumbling

coaches as he brought them to the

platform don't talk come on he called to

them Gordon never has to fetch his own

coaches he thought to himself and he's

only painted blue to make James even

more cross this time no one came near

him I'll show them he thought they think

Gordon is the only engine who can pull

coaches hurry hurry hurry puff James

you're going too fast you're going too

fast replied the coaches James laughed

and tried to go faster but the coaches

wouldn't let him well we're going to

stop they said we're going to

stop what's the matter James asked his

driver the brakes are hard on leak in

the pipe most likely you've bang the

coaches enough to make a leak in

anything how should we mend it said the

conductor we'll do it with newspaper and

a leather bootlace replied the driver

well where is the bootlace coming from

asked the conductor ask the passengers

said the driver

you have a leather bootlace there I see

sir said the conductor to a smartly

Dressed Man please give it to me I won't

said the man then said the conductor I'm

afraid the train will just stop where it

is the passengers all said what a bad

Railway it was then they told the man

how bad he was instead everyone was very

cross at last he handed his laces over

the driver tied a pad of newspaper

tightly round the hole in the brake pipe

and James was able to pull the

train but he was a sadder and wiser

James and took care never to bump

coaches

[Music]

again it wasn't James's fault that

happened it wasn't even the coach's

fault it was because he had those bad

breaks that's true but if he hadn't been

banging the coaches about

Bo oh let's see

no oh maybe schamer used it for the Juke

Bo

no come out come out wherever you

are I know you're here so
