male narrator: "The Fastest

Red Engine on Sodor."

[bright music]

- Oh!

[bell dinging]

[train engine chugging]

narrator: James is a really

splendid red engine

who loves to go fast.

[bright music]

Sometimes a little too fast.

[train engine chugging]

[bright music]

[whistle tooting]

- James!

- Out of the way, Toby!

[whistle tooting,

engine thunders]

- [whimpering]

- Hello, Knapford!

Here's James!

[newspaper flaps,

Sir Topham Hatt gasps]

- Hey, Emily.

- Hello, James.

- Oh, mind your speed, James.

And stop showing off.

- [yelps]

- [sighs]

- He's right, James.

Stopping sharply like that

is bad for your brakes.

- [laughs]

I can't help being fast, Emily.

- Don't forget that time your

wooden brake blocks caught fire.

- [moans]

[screaming]

[gasps]

Yes, I remember all that.

But I got rid

of my wooden brake blocks.

And I was painted red.

So good things

came out of that accident,

and I don't have

brake problems anymore.

- You might have problems again

if you carry on like this.

- I have to brake sharply

sometimes, Emily.

I'm the fastest red engine

on Sodor.

- [groans]

- [laughs, toots whistle]

Fastest red engine

on Sodor, are you?

What about Rosie?

- Ha!

Rosie's not fast.

And she's not red either.

She's more of a mauvy-lilac.

- She's red now.

I just saw her today.

- Rosie is red?

Red red?

Like, like me red?

James red? Splendid red?

Are you teasing me?

- Hoo-hoo!

- Thomas? Thomas.

Thomas!

- [blows raspberry]

- [groans]

Cars?

Why do I have to pull cars?

I'm too splendid for cars.

- [laughs]

Too splendid.

- That's what you think.

- You can't pull coaches

all the time.

[laughter]

- [grumbles]

You troublesome trucks

are lucky to be pulled by me.

narrator: James wasn't having

a very good day.

And then he saw...

- Rosie?

[wheels squealing loudly]

- Oh, dear!

- What an awful noise!

- Why do we have to get

pulled by squeaky wheels?

- Hello, James!

- You really are red.

- Yes, I've been repainted.

What do you think?

- I'll tell you

what I think.

I think you're trying

to look like me.

- No, I'm not.

- Not so red now,

Squeaky Wheels.

- Squeaky Wheels!

[laughter]

- Why are they

calling you that?

- No reason.

Just ignore them.

[clears throat]

Where are you off to then?

- I'm taking my cars

to Crovan's Gate.

- I'm going

to Crovan's Gate too.

Wanna race?

Just to see which of us

is the fastest red engine.

- Okay, that sounds fun.

- [laughs]

One, two, three, go!

[train engine chugging]

- James!

[train engine chugging]

Red signal, James!

- Oh, come on!

[brakes screech]

[train engine chugging]

- James!

- [grunting]

[brakes screeching]

- [gasps]

James!

- Oh, no!

[screams]

[brakes screeching]

[panting, groans]

Sorry, Henry.

- [gasps]

- There's clearly

something wrong

with your brakes, James.

You barely managed to stop.

I don't think

you should be racing.

- [chuckles]

Maybe we should drive.

- [laughs]

Good idea.

- No, you're just

worried I'll win

and prove I'm the fastest

red engine on Sodor.

- I don't care about that!

You need to go

to the Steamworks

and find out why your brakes

aren't working properly.

I'll deliver your cars

while you're having

your brakes checked.

- [sighs]

Fine.

narrator: But when James

stopped at the next signal,

his brakes didn't make the

horrid noise they had before.

- Huh?

They didn't make a noise

that time.

[liquid dripping]

[whistle toots]

[train engine chugging]

[steam hisses]

It wasn't my brakes

after all!

It was the troublesome trucks

pushing me

like they always do.

narrator: James was so convinced

that there was nothing wrong

with his brakes,

he didn't even bother

having them checked.

- Bye!

- Kevin!

- Yes, boss?

- Are you leaking brake fluid?

- Of course not, boss.

I check it regularly.

- Then what is that?

- What is what?

[gasps]

It is me!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

What to do?

[screams]

[crashes]

- [groans]

narrator: James did

have a problem.

He was leaking brake fluid.

And without enough fluid,

his brakes

couldn't work well at all.

But he hadn't heard

that horrible noise

since he gave Rosie

his troublesome trucks.

And soon, James forgot

all about being careful.

- Wha-ha-ha-ha!

Wahoo!

[whistle toots]

[whistle blows]

narrator: And then

there was trouble.

[brake lever squeaking]

- Oh, no!

- Oh, no!

I can't stop!

- Oh?

- [screaming]

[continues screaming]

Whoa!

[whistle blows]

- Oh?

[James whooshes by, screaming]

Oh.

Whoa.

James!

- Whoa!

[screaming]

[train engine chugging,

James screaming]

[screaming]

Rosie!

Help!

- James!

- Whoa!

Help!

No!

[James crashes, wall explodes]

- James!

[gasps]

James!

[coughing]

- [groaning]

[brick thuds]

Ow.

- Are you okay, James?

- I think so.

How's my paint looking?

I'm really in trouble now.

- You can say that again, James.

- [gasps]

- I told you many times about

showing off and rushing about.

And now you've ruined the shed.

- But, sir,

James has had problems

with his brakes all day.

He was trying to be careful.

He even went to the Steamworks

to have them fixed.

- [chuckles nervously]

- You did go to the Steamworks,

didn't you, James?

- I did go.

But I thought

the problem had stopped,

so I didn't wait

to get fixed.

- [groans]

Honestly, James,

it would have been better

to fix your brakes

when you had a small problem,

before it turned into

a much bigger one.

- I'm sorry, sir.

Sorry, Rosie.

I should have known

another red engine

would give good advice.

- At least you proved

one thing today, James.

For a while there...

[laughs]

you really were the fastest

red engine on Sodor.
