impossible ridiculous and foolishness
this new train schedule is tommy rot
baldydash and cuckoo
there isn't a train on earth that can go
from point pokey to cloggyville in 11
seconds
it's 14 miles and look here from
doodletown to turley in 18 hours well
it's impossible why i can walk from
doodletown to turley in 15 minutes and
i'm only 18 inches tall
i'll just have to write the correct
times in here
what are you doing
stop that
those are the new train schedules from
the railroad company i am the only one
who can change those schedules well it
may be new but it's not a train schedule
give me that pencil never you can't get
from buttertown to chubby corners in
four seconds
what did you say
what
four seconds
what ah
you are miss stacy jones

station master
i am the station master may i help you
you're the state
oh
well uh miss station master
well this certainly is a lovely train
station you have here yes so very lovely
indeed
but enough about you
do you see those machines over there
they are all mine
the railroad
has given me a long lease
for the entire arcade
starting today
and
i'm thinking about putting in some more
machines
some big new noisy expensive huge heavy
machines
yes i have some big plans
very
big plans uh yes and
have you noticed the new schedules
that i had printed up
you had those schedules printed up why
those schedules are all wrong and if the
schedules are wrong the passengers will
miss their trains i know so what who
cares it's fantastic
they miss their train so they have
nothing to do therefore consequently so
they go to my arcade and spend their
money in my machines oh
oh

that's what they call me the schemer and
the pleasure is all mine uh yes well mr
scheme please please schemer my friends

matthew matt matthew hi
mr conductor's been telling me all about
train schedules on the island of sodor
did he tell you about thomas or gordon
no what about thomas or gordon ah let me
see
[Music]
you're absolutely right i keep it to
remind myself that one day the railroad
will give me a gold watch for all my
years in service
that's what you get when you've been
around as long as i have
but i always know what time it is how
how
i just look at that big clock over there
i have some time i'll tell you a story
about henry the big green engine
but i must warn you it's a very sad
story
[Music]
once an engine attached to a train was
afraid of a few drops of rain
it went into a tunnel and squeaked
through its funnel and wouldn't come out
again
[Music]
the engine's name is henry his driver
and fireman argued with him but he would
not move
[Music]
the rain will spoil my lovely green
paint and red stripes he said
the conductor blew his whistle till he
had no more breath and waved his flag
till his arms ate but henry still stayed
in the tunnel and blew steam at him
i'm not going to spoil my lovely green
paint and red stripes for you
then along came sir topham hatt a man in
charge of all the engines on the island
of sodor
[Music]
we will pull you out said sir topham
hatt but henry only blew steam at him
everyone pulled except sir topham hatt
because
he said my doctor has forbidden me to
pull
but still henry stayed in the tunnel
and they tried pushing from the other
end
sir topham hatt said one two three
push
but he didn't help
my doctor has forbidden me to push he
said
they pushed and pushed and pushed but
still henry stayed in the tunnel
at last thomas came along
the conductor waved his red flag and
stopped him
everyone argued with henry
look it has stopped raining they said
yes but it will begin again soon said
henry and what would become of my green
paint with red stripes then
[Music]
thomas pushed and puffed and pushed as
hard as ever he could
but still henry stayed in the tunnel
eventually even sir topham hatt gave up
we shall take away your rails he said
and leave you here until you're ready to
come out of the tunnel
[Music]
they took up the old rails and built a
wall in front of henry
so that other engines wouldn't bump into
him
[Music]
all henry could do was to watch the
trains rushing through the other tunnel
he was very sad because he thought no
one would ever see his lovely green
paint with red stripes again
as time went on edward and gordon would
often pass by
edward would say
hello
and gordon would say poop poop served
you right
poor henry had no steam to answer his
fire had gone out
sutton dirt from the tunnel had spoiled
his lovely green paint and red stripes
anyway
how long do you think henry will stay in
the tunnel before he overcomes his fear
of the rain and then decides to journey
out again
hello there
do you ever wear green with red stripes
sometimes what's gonna happen does henry
ever get out of the tunnel
whoops at the risk of being terribly
late the story of henry must
unfortunately wait i promise completing
at our very next meeting so shake and
we'll make it a date
no i mean shake
[Music]
oh
boy imagine being frightened of a few
drops of rain or if you get wet you can
just dry up again
i guess everyone is afraid of something
sometimes like the dark yeah big scary
dog yeah nightmares
but you know the best thing to do when
you're afraid is to talk to someone you
know about it
oh there's the male train from pelican
falls i'll be right back
let's go save the picture machine
there's flying saucers in there they're
not scary ones look
every time you're in an unfamiliar
situation
surrounded by strangers and you don't
know what to do
[Music]
so don't be afraid
just be yourself don't be afraid to
reach on out you've got to be courageous
[Music]
to speak your mind don't be afraid just
let go
you'll find it's advantageous
to let your feelings
[Music]
[Music]
and if they make you feel a little blue
[Music]
they just made me a little scared of you
so don't be afraid
just be yourself don't be afraid
[Music]

whoa son what's the big rush i was just
leaving my aunt stacy sent me over with
your book
did you find that conductor you were
looking for
yes sir i'm glad he wasn't in the drawer
here
the thought of a train conducting a draw
makes me nervous
and i'm not the sort of man who gets
nervous
scared
sure
nervous
nah
i had one of the biggest scares of my
life when i was about your age
you see this engine here
i'll never forget the first time she
rumbled into the station
her wheels
looked 10 feet tall
you were scared of a train engine
at first it was
she let off a blast of steam about
scared the pants off me
then
after a while
i got a chance to ride and
she was mighty
and i got to blow the whistle
warning everybody we were
passing through
i was hooked
i knew i'd be a railroad band from that
moment on
why don't you go in and join them
because i was looking for you mr
conductor you promised you'd tell me
what happened to henry the green engine
you promised yes i did didn't i and my
motto is never to disappoint a child
you are a child aren't you
yes
and you are a child too
yes
very well
back to our sad sad story about henry
walled up in the tunnel
[Music]
gordon always pulled the big express
he was proud of being the only engine
strong enough to do so
it was full of important people like sir
topham hatt and gordon was seeing how
fast he could go
hurry hurry he said tickley talk tricky
talk tricky truck said the coaches
in a minute gordon would see the tunnel
where henry stood bricked up and lonely
oh dear thought henry why did i worry
about rain spoiling my lovely coat of
paint i'd like to come out of the tunnel
but henry didn't know how to ask i'm
going to poop poop at henry said gordon
[Music]
he was almost there when
and there was proud gordon going slower
and slower in a cloud of steam
his driver stopped the train
what has happened to me as gordon i feel
so weak
you've burst your safety valve said the
driver you can't pull the train anymore
oh dear said gordon we were going so
nicely too
and look there's henry laughing at me
everyone came to see gordon
said sir topham hatt these big engines
are always causing me trouble
send for another engine at once while
the conductor went to find one they
uncoupled gordon who had enough puff to
slink onto the siding out of the way
edward was the only engine left
i'll come and try he said
[Music]
said gordon that's no use edward can't
push the train
[Music]
kind edwards puffed and pushed and
pushed and puffed but he couldn't move
the heavy coaches
i told you so said gordon why not let
henry try
yes said sir topham hatt i will
will you help pull this train henry he
asked
oh yes said henry
when henry had got up steam he puffed
out he was dirty and covered with
cobwebs
oh i am stiff i am stiff he groaned
have a run to ease your joints and find
a turntable that's a topping hat
[Music]
when henry came back he felt much better
then they coupled him up
said henry so am i pull hard we'll do it
pull hard we'll do it they pop together
[Music]
we've done it together we've done it
together said edward and henry you've
done it hooray you've done it hooray
sang the coaches everyone was excited
sir topham hatt leaned out of the window
to wave at edward and henry but the
train was going so fast that his hat
blew off into a field where a goat ate
it for tea
[Music]
they never stopped till they came to the
station at the end of the line
the passengers all said thank you and
sir topham hatt promised henry a new
coat of paint
on their way home edward and henry help
gordon back to the shed
all three engines are now great friends
henry doesn't mind the rain now he knows
that the best way to keep his paint nice
is not to run into tunnels but to ask
his driver to rub him down when the
day's work is over
are you two becoming great friends
good now you can get each other out of a
jam when you need to
oh time to be traveling again bye
i want my money back
so
i'm going to take this machine apart
piece by piece
then i will get my nickel back
look man will you give him back his
nickel so he'll finally leave us alone
no all right baby goodbye my almost mint
condition nickel till we meet again
[Music]

my own machine's trying to swipe my own
money you know
i am not so sure i want to bring my big
noisy new expensive heavy machines in
here oh because i'm not so sure that
this place is good enough for them

play for me
