island of Sodor well now it's as good at
time as
[Applause]
any Thomas the Tank Engine has worked
his Branch line for many years and knows
it very
[Music]
well you know just where to stop Thomas
laughed his driver you could all almost
manage it without me Thomas had become
conceited he didn't realize his driver
was
joking later he boasted to the
others driver says I don't need him now
don't be so daed snorted Percy I'd never
go without my driver said Toby earnestly
I'd be frightened huh boasted Thomas I'm
not scared you'd never dare I would then
you'll
see the next morning the firelighter
came Thomas drowsed comfortably as the
warmth spread through his
boiler Percy and Toby were still asleep
Thomas suddenly remembered silly stick
in the muds he chuckled I'll show them
driver said I could manage without him
I'll just go out and then I'll stop and
we that'll make them
jump Thomas thought he was being clever
but really he was only moving because a
careless cleaner had meddled with his
controls he soon found his mistake he
tried to we but he couldn't he tried to
stop but he couldn't he just kept
rolling
along he didn't dare look at what was
coming next there was the station
Master's house the station master was
about to have
breakfast Horrors cried Thomas and shut
his eyes
the house rocked broken glass tinkled
plaster was
everywhere Thomas had collected a bush
on his travels he peered into the room
through its leaves he couldn't
speak the station master was Furious his
wife picked up her plate you miserable
engine she scolded just look what you've
done to our breakfast now I shall have
to cook some more she banged the door
more plaster fell this time it fell on
Thomas Thomas felt
depressed Workman propped up the house
with strong poles and laid rails through
the
garden then the Scottish twin engines
Donald and Douglas
arrived din faser S Thomas we'll soon H
you back on the rails they
[Music]
laughed Donald and Douglas puffing hard
managed to haul Thomas back to
safety bits of fencing the bush and a
broken window frame festooned his front
which was badly Twisted the twins
laughed and left
him Thomas was in
disgrace there was worse to come you're
in a lot of trouble
Thomas I know sir I'm sorry sir Thomas's
voice was muffled behind his Bush you
must go to the works and have your front
mended it will be a long job yes sir
meanwhile a diesel rail car will do your
work a a a diesel Sir Thomas spluttered
yes Thomas diesels always stay in their
sheds till they are
wanted diesels never gallivant off to
breakfast in station Master's
[Music]
houses no Mr connector that's sort of
like schemer he got so full of himself
with the arcade going so well that he
wasn't careful and had an accident I
think you're right Becky but something
tells me we haven't seen the last of
scher's
accidents but as for me it's best I Flee

absolute truth of the tale you see when
M schemer gave me the word I figured
I'll help the schemer and carry on up my
own gig at the same time but enough of
this
Joy I feel it's it's time for me to
assume the role of new proprietor

Overlook something like this of course
now if it hadn't been for the Bandit you
never would have recognized me oh no not
at all never hi Scher hey J how's it
going Scher what are you wearing a
disguise are you spying on someone no I
am not spying on someone I uh uh aha
these clothes were damp and I thought

to dry them off see me walk see my
clothes dry I'm drying my clothes off
and I'm walking
what what's these bananas doing here and
these boots and these
[Music]
chickens Mr wiso sort of combined his
General Store with his uh your arcade
may I help you sir have some change for
the arcade or maybe you'd like to buy
some work shoes work shoes I thought
that that this was an arcade not a
general store that's a little both at
the moment though of course the general
St aspect that seem to be more popular
we've already made more money than when
schemer ran
things really yes really how could I
help you sir um I don't I don't think
that uh I don't need any help I must be
on my way I'm a tourist goodbye
goodbye POS if I've seen that customer
slay somewhere
[Music]
before turn this place into a general
store more popular than me H we'll see
about that hey watch's this look at this
wax floor who wants a
wax my toe my to get out my way get out
of my way my body my
[Music]
body what's up g*ng something's really
wrong with schemer now when Mr W told
him that the arcade was running well
without him schemer seemed kind of well
sad sounds more jealous than sad to me
yeah he's scooched off he scooched off
did he but Scher likes to make nickels
so why is he so unhappy oh yeah schemer
likes to make nickels but he loves his
arcade the way he runs it it takes pride
in it oh so like when schema finds out
the arcade's doing okay the way Mr
wissow runs it schemer doesn't feel like
it's his anymore that's about the size
of it Becky the better Mr Winslow does
the worse schemer is going to
[Music]
get H young fell young fell young fell I
uh I'm a engineer throttle Dipper and I
I I'm engineer around here one of the
greatest train railroad type of uh
people around and I I couldn't help
noticing that you were in the arcade
which I might point out that I uh I do
not own yes I was really is a lot of fun
isn't it yes yes but it certainly was a
lot more fun when that other fellow ran
the what's is this the genius fell
schemer schemer no I don't remember any
schemer what you talking about I run the
he's run the place now for many years
you remember schemer help me out use
your mind young fell come on come on oh

remember he was crazy F just crazy very
very very pushy and besides back then it
was just machines you couldn't buy
anything useful could you no no no it's
much better the way it is run
now crazy I'm not
crazy howy schemer hey Bill H
[Music]
[Music]
schem fell down over there and hurt his
foot oo hurt himself again something
tells me schemer brings this on himself
maybe because he hasn't been careful
well being careful is important of
course but that's not the only problem
schemer may have come down with a case
of sorry for himself Blues what sorry
for himself blue he's feeling sorry for
himself but that can't be Mr Conductor
SCH doesn't have any feelings well
everybody has feelings Dan and everybody
needs to feel that they're
useful reminds me of just the other day
when the rails were being repaired on
the island of Sodor and Thomas got
himself in such a state I don't think we
heard that one and let me tell you that
one every afternoon Thomas the Tank
Engine Puffs along his Branch line with
Annie and
clarabel first they pass the water
mill next they come to a big
farm then they can see a bridge with a
village nestled either side of
it this is a special place whenever
children hear Thomas coming along they
stand on the bridge waving until he is
out of sight
[Music]
one day Thomas was running late he had
stopped at the signal before the bridge
to talk to some new children Percy the
Green Engine was waiting
too hurry up Thomas called Percy when
the signal dropped if you're late sir
toam hat may get a new engine to replace
you he would never do that thought
Thomas but he was
worried next day Thomas hurried along
the line
just ahead was the goods yard there on
the platform was an inspector waving a
red
flag next Thomas saw some children they
were waving
too something must be wrong thought
Thomas this station is for goods not
passengers help Thomas help we're glad
to see you called the children please
will you take us home the station Master
explained to Thomas's driver that the
school bus had broken down and all the
parents would be worried if the children
were late Thomas waited as the children
walked down from the
bridge then he took the children to the
next station where birdie was waiting to
take them
home when Thomas finished his journey he
was very late he was worried that sir
toam hat might be cross with
him I I warn Thomas popped Percy to
James he's been late one time too many
he'll be in trouble
now but next morning when Thomas picked
up his passengers sir toam hat was
nowhere to be
seen thank goodness sighed
Thomas Thomas knows every part of his
Branch
line just ahead was a stretch where the
hot sun had bent the rails on the
track careful Thomas called his driver
but it was too
[Music]
late that's done it said his driver we
sh get any further today but what about
my passengers asked Thomas don't worry
they'll be looked after
replied his
driver while Workman repaired the line
Thomas had to shunt Freight cars in the
yard birdie came to see him I understand
you need my help again yes birdie
replied Thomas sadly I can't run without
my
rails birdie set off to collect Thomas's
[Music]
passengers hello birdie they said said
we're glad you're here Bertie drove
along the road that runs by the
railway he stopped at each station along
the
line sometimes he stopped between
stations to let people off closer to
their homes Thomas felt miserable I've
lost my passengers to birdie they'll
like him better than me sir toam hat
arrived your branch line is repaired I'm
going to change your time table so that
you and birdie can work together more
when Thomas reached the station there to
his relief were all his passengers
birdie is a good bus but we missed our
train rides with you they said later
Thomas spoke to birdie thank you for
looking after my passengers that's all
right Thomas I'd like to make new
friends but I'm glad to share them with
you you're a good friend indeed replied
Thomas and always will be
I guess schemer feels kind of like
Thomas did oh yes sorry for himself
Blues can be the worst kind of illness
no doctor can cure it either the cure
comes from inside
you but now I must go before my welcome
is worn or here comes jinny and the bus
driver's horn step side step
[Music]
side hey hey hey what do we say
oh is that schamer
yeah there you got a tail and a hat H I
was coming into the station when I see
the Big Bus pull in with passengers and
before I know it it's honing its horn at
some fella who looks to be stumbling
along and can't get out of the way and I
says to myself hit me on the head with a
pop can that's schemer oh the bus the
horn oh the bus honked its horn at Scher
and he screamed and jumped into the
prick bushes outside flatten his back
and twice as sad oh the prickle bushes
the bust the horn ouch shouldn't you be
home in bed trying to get better uh no
Miss Jones I had to come to the arcade
