male narrator:

Love me tender.

Engines and

on Sir Topham Hatt's railway

are strong and able workers.

They are practical, peppery,

and proud.

Donald and Douglas,

the Scottish engines,

are also brothers.

[lively music]

[whistle toots]

- Stop being pushy.

- I'm not being pushy.

- You pushed me when

the signal changed.

- You pulled me more like.

- I didnae!

- Did too.

- I didnae!

- Did too.

narrator: And so, like all

brothers, they sometimes argue.

[both grumbling]

narrator: But no matter how

many times they fall out,

Donald and Douglas always

get back together again.

[whistle toots]

Snow had come early

to the island of Sodor.

It was heavier than usual,

and there were many lines

to clear.

- Hey, Donald!

How about we head down

Edward's Branch Line?

- Hmm, I don't think so,

Douglas.

- Oh, but it would be

really useful for us

to clear a path to the docks.

- I think it's better if we

stick to the main line for now.

[whistles toot]

- Oh.

narrator: Later on,

Donald and Douglas

were faced with another choice.

- I think we should head down to

the Search and Rescue Center.

- What for?

- To clear the line for

the emergency vehicles.

- No way.

We should stay on the main line

and clear the line for Thomas.

- Aye.

But the Rescue Center

is important,

and it won't take long.

narrator: All the argy bargy

between the two brothers

was causing a strain

on their couplings.

- Ah, this is taking ages.

narrator:

Finally the line was clear.

- Ooh, about time.

narrator: So they headed back

up to the main line

for their next job.

- I told you we should've

cleared this line first.

Now we're stuck behind

that wee engine.

Look, he can barely see over

the snow.

- Whisht, Douggie.

Will ya pipe down?

I cannae go any faster.

- On you go, Donald!

- Thanks, Toby!

- [sighs]

narrator:

Soon Donald and Douglas

were faced with yet

another choice.

And this time

there was trouble.

- Now then, Douggie.

What do ya think?

Shall we stick to the main line

or clear the line up

to the Castle?

- I'm sayin' nothing.

You'll choose your own way,

whatever I say.

In fact, I widnae be surprised

if you didn't just go

and do the exact opposite

of whatever I says.

- Wheest!

Dinnae act like

you're any different.

You always do

what you want to do,

and that's all there is to it.

- Dinnae!

- Do too!

- Then stop pulling!

- I'm no pulling!

You are!

Hey!

narrator:

The big, strong coupling

between Douglas and his tender

was broken.

- Ah, no!

Help!

- Donald!

[tense music]

♪ ♪

narrator: Donald had left

Douglas behind.

[peppy music]

[whistle toots]

- Hello, Donald.

Where's Douglas?

- I left that no good brother

of mine back at the junction.

He's no use to me or anyone.

- Did you see that?

Donald's got

the number tender.

And the number !

[bell dinging]

- Hello, Douglas.

Where's Donald?

- I don't know,

and I dinnae care.

We've parted ways, that's all.

- But what about your tender?

Do you need some help?

- Ach, no,

I'm fine, Toby.

I'm just cross with my brother.

Away you go.

- Okay, Douglas.

If that's what you want.

[bell dings]

narrator:

Douglas was fine for now.

His firebox was still warm

enough to melt the snow.

Meanwhile, all the way on

the other side of the island,

Donald was doing a grand job

of clearing the tracks.

[whistle toots]

[brakes screech]

- Donald!

Do you know you're

pulling two tenders?

You've got Douglas's tender

at the back there

behind your own.

The coupling must have broken.

- What? How?

Do you mean...

I've got all my brother's

coal and water?

- That's right.

And Douglas is--

- Stuck out there in the snow!

[whistle toots]

[dramatic music]

narrator: Douglas was without

his driver and his fireman,

and there was no warmth left

in his firebox.

But Donald was determined

to find him again.

- Dougie!

Dougie!

Dougie!

- Help! Help!

- This is really good cocoa.

[whistle toots]

- Toby!

Have you seen Douglas?

- Yes, I have.

He was back at the junction,

where you left him.

- But I've just come back

from there,

and there was no sign of him.

- I thought you two had

fallen out.

- Yes, yes, but he's still

my brother!

And he's stuck out

there somewhere

in the freezing cold!

[whistle toots]

[wind howling]

Dougie!

[whistle blows]

Dougie!

[whistle blows in distance]

- Donnie!

Donnie!

I'm over here, man!

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Ah, Douglas.

Am I glad to see you.

- Me too, Donald.

I thought I was going to be

stuck out here forever.

- Aye, and we might be stuck out

here a while longer.

I've got nae water.

- But you've got my tender.

Maybe there's a wee drop

left in there.

- Brilliant!

That means I can shunt you

to the steam works.

We'll soon get you warmed up

again, Dougie!

- Ach, just knowing my brother

came back for me

has already warmed me up.

narrator: So Donald shunted

Douglas to the steam works

to have his coupling repaired

and his tender reattached.

[whistle toots]

- Trust you to run out of water.

- Ha!

Well, at least I've got

some coal.

- Some coal?

You mean my coal.

narrator: Like all brothers,

sometimes Donald

and Douglas argue.

- You took your time

getting here.

- Away and whisht!

narrator: But no matter how

many times they fall out,

Donald and Douglas always

get back together again.
