01x18 - Mapping It Out

Post by bunniefuu »

here maybe it came in from outside or

maybe someone left here by mistake

that you look Grandpa we found a rabbit

whoa hold on you don't want to spare it

hey I got an idea

this was left at the lost and

[Music]

found them well maybe if nobody comes to

claim them but in the meantime we've got

to take really good care of him we will

be fine all right

wow

excuse me oh yes

oh uh Harry this is Turkey Santana and

he would like to get to Farmer's

Del this is really silly we're a train

station and we don't even have a map

thank you very much you You You're

welcome to the

platform yeah you know what we need we

need a map of the whole railway system

ah Mr conductor do you even know this

whole map it covers the whole Indian

Valley Railroad problem is it's about 50

years out of date 56 actually i remember

when it was new hey kid why don't we

trace a new map over this old one

can we

that'll be for me i'll get it

becca do the engines

ever soda did they get lost well if they

stay on the tracks it's rather hard for

engines to actually get lost but they

can sometimes find themselves running

away down the tracks when they don't

expect to i can tell you how it happened

to Thomas

thomas the tank engine was ill workwood

had tried to make him better but it was

no use edward must take you to the work

said Sir Topham

Hat thomas felt very

[Music]

busy then Sir Topham Hat spoke to Duck i

want you to help Percy and Toby while

Thomas is away duck was delighted

he already knew Percy and soon made

friends with Toby and Bertie terren the

tractor gave him a big welcome

too take care of Thomas's coaches he

advised he's sure to miss them while

he's

away duck was very gentle with the

coaches annie and Clarabel were

impressed such nice manners they told

each other "It really is a pleasure to

go out with

[Music]

him when Thomas came back Annie and

Clarabel told him how well Duck had

managed thomas was so pleased to be home

that he soon forgot to be

[Music]

jealous the works had left Thomas's

handbrake very stiff it made his brakes

seem as if they were hard on when in

fact they were not

[Music]

as a result he and his coaches often

overran the

platform thomas found it most

embarrassing gradually his driver and

fireman learned to be extra

careful but one day Thomas's fireman was

ill and a relief man took his place

the fireman had fastened the coupling

and joined the driver and station master

on the platform to wait for Henry's

passengers the fireman had forgotten all

about Thomas's

handbreak thomas simmered happily

not long now he thought as he saw Henry

slowly

approaching but Thomas's brakes were not

hard on and suddenly he felt his wheels

begin to move he tried to stop but he

couldn't without his driver and firemen

he tried to whistle a warning but he

couldn't do that either the conductor

driver firemen and passengers were all

stranded on the

platform "stop stop!" trick Danny and

Claraveville thomas with plenty of steam

kept on going the alarm went out down

the line stopped the runaway there ready

for action was Harold the

helicopter the inspector had made a plan

and together they took off into the sky

[Music]

at last Thomas was tiring i need to stop

i need to stop he panted

wearily as they neared the next station

Thomas saw Harold land

they entered the platform slowly enough

for the inspector to

act judging his moment the inspector

scrambled into the cab and screwed the

brake hard

[Music]

on at last Thomas stopped both he and

the inspector were very relieved then

they thanked Harold think nothing of it

well Harold fled to be of service

anytime phew remarked the inspector we

must never let this happen again Thomas

wearily Thomas agreed with

[Music]

him of course it really wasn't Thomas's

fault his brakes were stiff and he built

up some steam that's all now I better

build up some steam if I'm going to get

some food for our new guest now listen

exploring and exploring but running off

like this and letting everybody worry

about them yes I agree I agree Harry but

time they want to go exploring without

permission they might try doing it with

their

imaginations save themselves some train

your fault because you agreed to go too

ten Mr Conductor we saw a huge SK shovel

working on a bridge it's a she flying in

the side flying in a big vshape oh yes

you can see a lot from a train next time

though go with Stacy or Harry okay we

just want to explore a little I know

Everyone likes to do that now and then

even the engines on the island of SoDo

but you can't always be sure of what's

going to happen like the time Percy was

working on the

Harbor one day Henry wanted to rest but

Percy was talking to some engines he was

telling them about the time he had Brave

bad weather to help promas it was

raining hard water swell under my boiler

I couldn't see where I was going but I

struggled on oh Percy you are brave well

it wasn't anything really waterers

knocking to an engine with determination

tell us more

Percy what are you engines doing here is

Henry this shed is for Sir Topham hats

engines go

away silly things Henry snorted

silly things Henry

snorted they're not silly Percy had been

enjoying himself they are silly and so

are you water's nothing to an engine

with determination H Anyway said cheeky

Percy I'm not afraid of water I like it

he ran off to the Harvest singing Once

an engine attached to a train was afraid

of a few drops of

rain no one ever lets me forget the time

I wouldn't come out of the tunnel in

case the rain SPO my pains of

[Music]

Henry Thomas was looking at a board on

the key Danger we mustn't go past it he

said that's orders why danger means

falling down something said Thomas I

went past danger once and fell down a

mine I can't see a mine said pery he

didn't know that the foundations of the

key had sunk the rails now sloped

downward through the sea stupid Bo said

Percy Percy made a plan one day he

whispered to the cars will you give me a

bump when we get to the key the cars

have never been asked to bump an engine

before they giggled and shattered about

it driver doesn't know my plan chuckled

pery on on on laugh the

[Music]

cars Percy thought they were helping

I'll pretend to stop at the station but

the cars will push me past the board

then I'll make them stop I can do that

whenever I like

every wise engine knows that you cannot

trust Freight

cars go on go on the yell and bup

Percy's driver and violent off the foot

plate off said Percy sliding past the

board Percy was frantic that's he

[Music]

not Percy was

sunk

[Music]

you are a very disobedient engine Percy

knew that voice please sir get me out

sir I'm truly sorry sir no Percy we

cannot do that till High TI I hope it

will teach you to take care of yourself

yes

sir it was dark when they brought

floating cranes to rescue Percy he was

too cold and stiff to move by

himself

[Music]

next day he was sent to the wor on

Henry's freight

[Music]

train well well well chuckled Henry did

you like the

water no I am surprised

you need more determination Percy

water's nothing to an engine with

determination you know perhaps you will

like it better next time Percy is quite

determined but there won't be a next

time but that was a freaky spot not

really pery should have known better

than to trust them he should have

thought twice before he decided to go go

exploring out there yeah yeah yeah I

know what to Guess who's coming you know

who guess who's leaving me I

do hey hey hey hey hey my friends my
