[Music]

The Arcade

what are you doing schemer i am getting

rid of this old arcade it is a piece of

junk what's wrong with it

it's old kids

nobody wants to spend their money on an

old old old old machine around here if

you don't pull your weight boom into the

trash you go

ah

coming back for later for you pal

hey man

you can stay with me as long as you lie

that's just great

yep

i'll see you then

well this is really something

an old friend is coming to visit and

you'll be arriving today what's his name

grandpa nathaniel cass that we call him

that he's a very special fellow i have

to go pick up something at the store

it's a present i want to give him

you know grandpa's friend matt

oh i'm afraid not i wonder if he's old

like harry

what hairy old oh boy i guess it's a

matter of what you think old is i think

12 is old

oh then what does that make me

60

60

70.

dania

well then how old are you

well let me tell you

[Music]

like uh my old granny used to say

you're as old as your tongue

and a little older than your teeth

oh what i'm trying to say is you're only

as old as you feel and i feel a pretty

bouncy these days

what does that mean you're only as old

as you feel

oh it means you can be old on the

outside but still feel young in the

inside

you know when people get older they

change on the outside they get wrinkles

gray hair some people lose all their

hair right and that makes them look

older on the outside but what really

matters is how you feel and the inside

that's what's really important

hello shining time station stacy jones

speaking

oh of course you can put your package on

the train to turley uh just a moment

please kids i have to take this call

harry's friend sure bye bye stacey

[Music]

falling through the shady lanes

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

mr conductor i should have known

hello matt hope you like the show what

have you there tanya

just small junk

junk as in rubbish i think not some of

those old things are beautiful they have

style

charm personality history

they do

of course they do

all things can be very special indeed

take my friend toby the tram engine

now toby is as old as the hills

and i'm afraid the railroad thinks he's

of no use anymore

well here let me tell you

Toby

[Music]

toby is a tram engine he has cow

catchers and side plates and doesn't

look like a steam engine at all

he takes freight cars from farms and

villages to the main line and is

cheerful to everyone he meets

he has a coach called henrietta who has

seen better days it's not fair at all

she grumbles remembering she used to be

full and nine cars would rattle behind

her

[Music]

now there are only three or four but the

farms and factories send their goods

mostly by truck

toby is always careful the cars buses

and trucks often have accidents toby has

not an accident for years

the buses are crowded and henrietta is

empty

[Music]

a lady in the stout gentleman stood on

toby's platform he was of course a

topham hat but toby didn't know this yet

[Music]

come on grandfather cried the children

do look at this engine that's a tram

engine stephen said sir topham hatt

is it electric a*s bridgette

hiss toby

said her brother you've offended him but

trams are electric aren't they

they are mostly but this is a steam tram

may we go in it grandfather please

stop said sir topham hatt to the

conductor

they all scrambled into henrietta

hip-hip hooray chanted henrietta but

toby did not sing

electric indeed electric indeed he

snorted he was proud of being a steam

train

[Music]

what is your name ask sir topham hatt

toby sir

thank you toby for a very nice ride

thank you sir said toby

he felt better now

this gentleman he thought is a gentleman

who knows how to speak to engines

the children came every day for two

weeks

sometimes they rode with the conductor

sometimes in empty cars

on the last day of all the driver

invited them into his cab

[Music]

all were sorry when they had to go away

[Music]

and sir topham hatt and his family

thanked everyone

come again soon replied toby we will we

will call the children

and they wave till toby was out of sight

the months passed toby had few cars and

fewer passengers

our last day toby said his driver one

morning

the manager says we must close tomorrow

that day everyone wanted the chance of a

last ride

the passengers joked and sang

toby and his driver wish they wouldn't

goodbye toby said the passengers

afterwards we are sorry your line is

closing down

so am i said toby

nobody wants me toby thought and went on

happily to sleep

next morning the shed was flung open and

old toby woke with a start to see his

driver waving a piece of paper at him

wake up toby they shouted excitedly the

mail has just arrived and there is a

letter for us from the stout gentleman

maybe it's good news

[Music]

Grandpa

what was in the letter i don't know yet

but for toby and henrietta's sake i hope

it's good news i'm off to find out

i hope it's good news

i like toby and henrietta me too

here's the train let's go look for

grandpa's friend now

wait for me

nobody got off i hope nad's still coming

to visit

well

there's another train coming today i bet

i'll be on that one what if you forgot

to get on the train well then maybe he

took a bicycle instead of a train a

bicycle sure just because a person is

older doesn't mean he stops doing things

being old is just a part of a person you

know the expression older but wiser well

it's true

that's why my grandpa has the answers to

so many things that's right older people

store up all the experiences of a

lifetime you know we can learn a lot

from older people in fact

take a peek in here

and you'll see what i mean

[Music]

when i was young i used to play by the

firehouse after school each day

that was way back where

he had a wrinkled face and twinkling

eyes and it used to take me fishing by

the river's side

every day

[Music]

he'd say you're only as old as you feel

inside

[Music]

i learned many things from that old man

besides how to catch fish by the river

bend how to keep a

[Music]

not all the time

i don't mind

[Music]

he'd say you're only though that you

feel inside

[Music]

hey

tell me about the good old days

i think my friends say life's like a

train keeps running down the track

through the sun and the rain and the

magic grows

[Music]

you'll see your own needs

[Music]

[Music]

that didn't come yet grandpa he'll be

along

i got his present

what is it it's a surprise

but i guarantee you'll like it as much

as he will

yep

we had some good times together

great memories like what

well you see

nat liked to ride up on the engine with

me

and we had a favorite

she was a beautiful engine

and she had a name

the rainbow tiger

but we called a tiger just for short

the indian valley railroad retired the

rainbow tiger

and donated her

to the railroad museum

sort of like put the iron horse out to

pasture

now

every weekend

folks come down to the museum to

look at her

and to work on them

then i had some fine times on the

rainbow tiger

[Music]

well

it just goes to show that

even if a thing is a mighty old

there can still be plenty of life left

in it

listen you kids

i got work to do

why don't you run along now

okay see you later grandpa

[Music]

i wonder what's in the box i hope it's a

toy oh people don't play with toys maybe

if they feel young they do

look there's mr conductor

grandpa was waiting for his friend matt

he was telling us about some of his

memories memories

memories dreams of love so true

over the sea of memories

i'm drifting back to you

oh yes memories are wonderful they let

you experience a good time over and over

again

my word if you think about it everything

is some kind of memory attached to it

do you think these clothes have memories

maybe they remember all the places that

people wore them to hello

oh oh there's that fellow again goodbye

matt goodbye tanya

[Music]

ah kids uh when you're finished with

these old clothes don't leave them lying

around okay either clean them up or uh

throw them away

hey

that's my name

don't wear it out

what's wrong with the old arcade game

just because it's old doesn't mean you

have to throw it out hey you wanna know

why because it's trash that's why

kids

let me give you some advice if you want

to get ahead in this world you have to

be willing to change with the times now

i want you to look at this and pay

attention to your old pal schemer

beautiful isn't it this is my poster for

the machine of the future

you see a smart businessman like myself

for instance always invests in the

future

not the past

so remember kids

it is

out with the old

in with the new

okay

oh and kids uh

do me a favor okay when you when you

finish uh don't forget to clean up

because a uh sloppy place means uh

sloppy business

later

[Music]

hey hi mr conductor my word are things

hopping on the island of sodor i can

tell you now what's happened to old toby

and henrietta

it wasn't fair that they couldn't ride

the tracks anymore i hope they didn't

keep them in the shed

let me start with my good friend thomas

Cops

there's a line to a quarry at the end of

thomas's branch it goes for some

distance along the road

thomas was always very careful to

whistle here in case anyone was coming

[Music]

early one morning a large policeman was

sitting close to the line thomas like

policeman he had been a great friend of

the officer who had just retired

he was so good morning thomas expected

that the new officer would be friendly

too but was sorry to see that he didn't

look friendly at all

it was red in the face and very cross

disgracefully splitted i didn't sleep a

wink last night it was so quiet and now

engines come whistling suddenly behind

me i'm sorry sir sir thomas i only said

good morning

a policeman pointed to thomas where's

your cow catcher he asked but i don't

catch cows sir

don't be funny snap the policeman

he looked at thomas's wheels no side

plates either and he wrote in his

notebook

engines going on public roads must have

their wheels covered and a cow catcher

in front to protect people and animals

from being dragged under the wheels if

they stray onto the line

you haven't so you are dangerous

rubbish said thomas's driver we've been

along here hundreds of times and never

had an accident

that makes it worse the policeman

answered he wrote regular lawbreaker in

his book

thomas puffed sadly away

[Music]

sir topham hatt was having breakfast he

was eating toaster marmalade the butler

came in excuse me sir you are wanted on

the telephone

bother that telephone said sir topham

hatt

[Laughter]

i'm sorry my dear he said to his wife

thomas is in trouble with the police and

i must go at once

at the station thomas's driver told sir

topham hatt what had happened

dangerous to the public indeed we'll see

about that sir topham hatt spoke to the

policeman

[Music]

but however much he argued with him it

was no good the law is the law he said

and we can't change it sir topham hatt

felt exhausted

i'm sorry driver he said it's no use

arguing with policemen we will have to

make those cow catcher things for thomas

i suppose

everyone will laugh sir said thomas

they'll say i look like a tram

said topham hatt stirred then he left

well done thomas why didn't i think of

it before

we want a tram engine

when i was on my holiday i met a nice

little engine called toby he takes

freight cars from the farms but the

trucks are taking over most of his work

and he needs a change he has cow

catchers and side plates i'll write to

his superintendent at once

[Music]

a few days later toby arrived

that's a good engine set sir topham hatt

i see you've brought your coach

henrietta

you don't mind do you sir ask toby the

station master wanted to use her as a

hen house and that would never do no

indeed said sir topham hatt we couldn't

allow that

[Music]

toby made the silly cars behave even

better than thomas

[Music]

did you

at first thomas was jealous but he was

so pleased when toby rang his bell and

frightened the policeman they've been

firm friends ever since

[Music]

Space Age

so toby and henrietta have a new lease

on life they're chugging down the rails

as happily as ever hey kids i got great
