got plenty of time here hey about why

don't you come with me inside my arcade

where you can spend all your money hey

hey hey don't don't run away from a good

time

[Music]

no how am I supposed to turn this place

into a money maker when people always

running off to catch a

train gamer how

business oh and Stacy somebody forgot

their suitcase they just left it all on

the platform oh boy not another one

listen Matt would you mind going out to

the platform and getting the case and

bringing it back here so we can store it

in the lost and found okay no

bye ooh is that necklace new uh it was

my grandmother's did Harry give it to

you yes a so every time you wear it now

you can think of your grandmother and

Harry

a o boy you need some help over there uh

no I can do it

oh thank you there I did

it where does all this stuff go oh well

see I like a record of it and then we

store it here in the lost and found

until the owner comes to claim it do the

owners always come no not always but

sometimes they come the day they lose

their luggage sometimes a week later or

even a year later sometimes they never

come at all but even if the luggage

stays here forever it still belongs to

someone and you never know when they

might come to claim

[Music]

it I wonder what's in these bags I don't

know maybe there's treasure or toys let

me out of here it's Mr

Conductor open up it's stuffy in here

it's

locked not that one I'm in this one over

here no no not in those in this

one thank you

m thank you Tanya Mr Conductor what are

you doing in there I was looking for my

pocket watch and I'm happy to report I

found it but look at me I'm covered with

carpet

sweeping all this mess who in their

right Minds would fill a suitcase with

carpet sweepings

there's a name

here Luella B doing I've never heard of

her why would Luella burn doing want to

carry around carpet sweepings maybe she

didn't want to carry them around maybe

she wanted to leave them behind and

that's why she left them in the lost and

sound a very good point Matthew but one

that doesn't do me a bit of good does it

look at me I'm filthy why I'm worse than

Thomas and Percy

combined what happened to Thomas and

Percy oh didn't I ever tell you that no

well in that case I'll have to put the

matter right straight away now where's

my

whistle don't tell me or I've lost

it oh here it

is it was a beautiful morning on the

island of Sodor Thomas the Tank engines

blue paint sparkled in the sunshine as

he puffed happily along his Branch line

with Annie and

clarabel he was feeling very pleased

with

[Music]

himself hello Thomas whistle Percy you

look Splendid yes indeed boasted Thomas

blue is the only proper for an engine oh

I don't know I like my brown paint said

Toby I've always been green I wouldn't

want to be any other color either added

pery well well anyway Hof Thomas blue is

the only color for a for a really useful

engine everyone knows

[Music]

that hery said no more he just grinned

at

Toby later Thomas was resting when Percy

arrived a large Hopper was loading his

trade cars full of

coal Thomas was still being cheeky

careful he warned watch out with those

silly cars go on go on muttered the cars

and by the way went on Thomas those

buffers don't look very safe to

me the last load poured down help help

cried

Thomas get me

out Percy was worried but he couldn't

help laughing Thomas's smart blue paint

was covered in cold us from Smoke Box to

Bunker chuckled Percy you don't look

really useful now Thomas you look really

disgraceful I'm not disgraceful choke

Thomas you did that on purpose get me

[Music]

out it took so long to clean Thomas that

he wasn't in time for his next

train Toby had to take Annie and

clarel poor Thomas whispered Annie to

clarabel they were most upset

[Music]

Thomas was grumpy in the shed that night

Toby thought it a great joke but Percy

was cross with Thomas for thinking he

had made his paint dirty on purpose

fancy a really useful blue engine like

Thomas becoming a disgrace to Sir Topham

Hat's

Railway next day Thomas was feeling more

cheerful as he watched Percy bring his

cars from the junction the cars were

heavy and Percy was

[Music]

tired have a drink said his driver then

you'll feel

better the water column stood at the end

of the siding with the unsafe

[Music]

buffers suddenly Percy found that he

couldn't stop the buffers didn't stop

him either oh well Percy

help the buffers were broken and Percy

was Wheel deep in

Coal it was time for Thomas to leave he

had seen

everything now Percy has learned his

lesson too he chuckled to

[Music]

himself that night the two engines made

up their quarrel I didn't cause your

accident on purpose Thomas whispered

Percy you do know that don't you of

course replied Thomas and I'm sorry I

teased you your green paint looks

Splendid again too in future we'll both

be more careful of

[Music]

coal accidents do happen well if my

jacket is ever going to look spended

again I must go wash can you just clean

yourself by Magic oh Magic can be a

splendid traveling companion to a person

like myself and for such times as

heading down the anything tunnel but

when it comes to a wash and brush up

there is absolutely no substitute for

the magic of

soap I will begin with my hands then my

neck followed by my shirt and

socks wait I've forgot my face I'll

begin with my face then my shirt then my

neck St and be

their new job on the island of Sodor but

they do look oldfashioned and need new

paint James was very rude whenever he

saw them what dirty objects he would

say at last Toby lost patience James he

asked why are you Red I am a splendid

engine answered James ready for anything

you never see my paint

dirty oh said Toby and ently that's why

you once needed bootlaces to be ready I

suppose James went rder than ever and

snorted off it was such an insult to be

reminded of the time a bootle had been

used to mend a hole in his

coaches at the end of the line James

left his coaches and got ready for his

next train it was a slow Freight

stopping at every Station to pick up and

set down cars James hated slow freight

trains dirty cars from Dirty

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

sidings starting with only a few he

picked up more and more cars at station

Chile had a long

[Music]

train at first the Fred cars behave well

but James bumped them so crossly that

they were determined to get back at

him presently they approached the top of

Gordon's Hill heavy freight trains halt

here to set their brakes James had had

an accident with cars before and should

have remembered this wait James wait

said the driver but James wouldn't wait

he was too busy thinking what he would

say to Toby when they next

[Music]

met the freight cars chance have come

harah harah they left and banging their

buers they pushed him down the

hill on on on Yell the cars I've got to

stop I've got to stop grown James

to the station they thundered disaster

lay

ahead something sticky splashed all over

James he had run into two tall wagons

and was black from Smoke Box to cab he

was more dirty than hurt but the tar

wagons and some cars were old to pieces

Toby and Percy were sent to help and

came as quickly as they

could look here Percy explained Toby

whatever is that dirty object that's

James didn't you know it's James's shape

said Toby but James is a splendid red

engine and you never see his paint dirty

James pretended he hadn't heard

[Applause]

Toby and Percy cleared away the unheard

cars and help James

[Music]

home so top of had met them well done

Percy and Toby he turned to James fancy

letting your cars run away I am

surprised you're not fit to be seen you

must be cleaned at once to she'll have a

new coat of paint please sir can

Henrietta have one too said Toby

certainly Toby oh thank you sir she will

be pleased all James could do was watch

Toby as he ran off happily with the

[Music]

news I always thought it was very decent

of Toby to think of Henrietta know

thinking of others can be a gift a gift

like like really being able to play the

saxophone now if you will excuse me I
