Welly what do we say
today well if it isn't the
train that that see if there isn't a
little something
for what do we do for you Judy well I
don't mind saying Miss Jones I had one
boond dog of the morning first off I
woke up to find my dog Ranger either off
or Ben Sten oh no who would do such an
irresponsible thing that's just the half
of us next off I discovered that someone
has been dumping all sorts of garbage on
my back
40 W fresh from the orchard that's why I
brought you some
over come for me oh thank you KY oh
you're always bringing us such wonderful
things what can we do for you well I
just come over to see what time my new
part coming in for my hay wagon it'll be
about 25 minutes 25 minutes good I'm on
my way to M flop diners with this
garbage and a good do for
complaint so is fun when Jenny comes
around always something fun to eat I
don't get what someone would sneak up on
her farm and take her dog and make a
mess did you say mess my my dirty news
sure travels fast what do you mean Mr
Conductor I mean all of that messy
trouble James the red engine is having
on the island of Sodor isn't that what
you're talking
about James in trouble this way trouble
I'd say it was Double Trouble which is
much worse than plain old single trouble
let me show you what I
needan Toby and Henrietta were enjoying
their new job on the island of Sodor but
they do look oldfashioned and did need
new paint
James was very rude whenever he saw them
yes what dirty objects he would
say at last Toby lost patience Jane he
asked why are you Red I am a splendid
engine answer Jane ready for anything
you never see my paint
[Music]
dirty oh said Toby innocently that's why
you once needed boot Laing to be ready I
suppose James went R than ever and
snorted off it was such an insult to be
reminded of the time a bootlace had been
used to mend a hole in his
coaching 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 car James hated slow freight
train
[Music]
dirty cars from Dirty
sidings
[Music]
yes starting with only a few he picked
up more and more cars at each station
till he had a long train
[Music]
at first the freight cars behaved 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 Hal
here to set their breakes 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 met
the great car's chance had come hrah
hurrah they laughed and banging their
buffers they pushed them down the
hill on on yelled the Cs I've got the
stop I've got the stop gr
James disaster lay ahead
something sticky splashed all over James
he had run into two tar wagons and was
black from Smoke Box to CAD he was more
dirty than hurt but the T wagons and
some cars were all to
pieces Toby and pery would sent for help
and came as quickly as they
could look here Percy exclaimed 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 Toby and Percy cleared away the
unheard cause and helped James
[Music]
home sir toam hat 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 Toby shall 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
KNE Mr Conductor did you tell us that
just so we'd feel better about cleaning
I was comparing your cleaning to the
mess on jimny's Farm sometimes a little
trouble causes great
harm speaking of harm and making things

thanks thank you that was very
helpful I wish your friend was there to
help Gordon this morning on the island
of Sodor why won't I tell you about
it one morning Thomas was being cleaned
when Gordon
arrived mud had blown all over his smart
blue paint hello Gordon called Thomas
you look as if you've had a mud bath be
a sensible engine and have a shower
instead Gordon snorted I haven't time to
dawle over my appearance like fussy pank
engines
do the wind blew stronger Gordon slow
down called his
driver this made Gordon Crosser still
now I'll be dirty and late dirty and
late he
hits at the next station was a sign all
trains must wash down daily James had
just finished being
clean come on Gordon said his driver
you'll feel better too after a good H
down B said Gordon and angrily let off
steam you're a very naughty engine said
Gordon's driver now James will need
another shower you'll have to wait your
turn till
later good riddens huffed Gordon I'm far
too busy to waste time with
water he finished his journey safely and
steamed into the big station so Cham hat
was waiting so were Gordon's coaches and
the
passengers goodness gracious said sir
toam hat you can't pull the train Henry
will have to do it Gordon you'd better
get clean straight
away Gordon was soon being
washed mind my eyes he
grumbled then he pulled cars for the
rest of the day CR trains CR trains he
sputtered he felt his position deeply
that's for you and you and you cars will
be cars laughed
James they won't with me snorted Gordon
I'll teach
them James got ready to take the express
when Gordon
returned be careful warned Gordon the
hills are slippery you may need help I
don't need help on Hills replied James
hily Gordon thinks he knows
everything earlier a storm had swept
Gordon's Hill blowing leaves onto the
tracks which made them slippery even
though the storm had passed the hill was
still difficult to climb James knew this
the signal showed clear and James began
to go
faster I'll do it I'll do it what he
[Music]
puff halfway up he was not so sure I
must do it I must do it but his wheel
slipped on the
leaves he couldn't pull the train at all
help help whistle James
his wheels were turning forward but the
heavy coasters pulled him backwards
The whole train started slipping down
the hill His driver shut off steam and
put on the brakes Then carefully he
stopped the train
[Music]
Gordon saw everything
Ah well we live and learn Never mind
little James I'm going to push behind
Clouds of smoke and steam billowed from
the snorting engines as they struggled
up the hill We can do it puffed James We
will do it puffed Gordon
At last they reached the top
Thank you Goodbye whistled James Boop
answered Gordon Goodbye
That night Sir Topham Hat came to see
the engines Gordon was miserable "Please
sir," said Thomas "Can Gordon pull
coaches again?" "Now if you understand
that having a wash down is essential to
every engine then yes Gordon you may."
"Thank you," grunted Gordon
"Tirt clean I'm a famous machine." But
no one heard him
[Music]
Gordon found out it's really much easier
to get your work done when things are
clean and in order Wouldn't you agree
What was that
Why didn't you tell them that Oh that's
amazing Mr Conductor I didn't know you
understood dog Of course I do I can
speak every language from elephant to
parakeet You have to be careful with
parakeet They try to bend the truth just
to make what they say rhyme What's the
dog saying I'm afraid he's saying he's
not your dog He comes from Farmer's Dell
and he'd like to go back there
He's the dog that lost this morning
That's wonderful We'll have to call her
up right away Any dog
Do we have to give him back Do we have
to Oh I know how you feel Sometimes in
life you have to make difficult
decisions You know sometimes we have to
do things but take determination and
courage When I was a little girl I found
this beautiful red wagon up on Dumpling
Hill And now something that I always
wanted a red wagon Well I was just so
happy I loved it so much I took it with
me wherever I went until one day my best
friend told me that she lost her red
wagon
Wagon Well I I told her no but
she got inside I knew it
You know what Having a wagon that
belonged to somebody else made it not so
much fun anymore So I did the most
difficult thing I ever had to do I gave
it back
I know Becky I know you like it too But
the farm is where he belongs Stacy's
right That's where he feels his home is
No I don't think I like this
responsibility
Well think about how You're going to
make Kimmy when you call her and tell
her you found her dog Okay
Maybe get to be time to hitch our wagons
to another train
Move out of this Never get to our home
Yeah we could always move into someone's
glove compartment and be a car radio
I'm too old to be in a car radio again
I need steak man I don't want to be all
cramped up
Well like the little lady said this here
is our home and we'll stay in the book
