[narrator] "Ol' Wheezy Wobbles"

The engines on the Island of Sodor

are very friendly engines.

-They like to toot 'hello'... -[train toots]

Chuff cheerfully together...

And hurry to help whenever they can!

One day, Thomas was with the Logging Locos.

He was helping them load Jobi logs.

The Logging Locos were sad.

One biff... One bash...

-And there's never... -A crash!

[narrator] The Logging Locos sighed.

-It's not the same without... -Ol' Wheezy!

[Bash] There's no bash!

[Dash] There's no crash!

That's right! There's no fun at all!

[narrator] Thomas didn't like to see his friends sad.

What's the matter with Ol' Wheezy?

[Dash] We don't know!

He just stopped working!

That's right!

[narrator] Thomas wanted to help his friends.

Don't worry.

I'm sure I can fix Ol' Wheezy.

I know all about machines!

[narrator] Thomas chuffed carefully over to Ol' Wheezy.

His driver poked and prodded.

Then, there was a rattle and a rumble...

A jiggle and a jog... And a very big bang!

Smoke poured from Ol' Wheezy...

The Logging Locos were worried.

-Fizzling fireboxes! -That's not meant to happen!

That's right.

[narrator] The Logging Locos looked sad.

Thomas wanted to make them happy.

Don't worry! I'll puff to the Dieselworks!

They know all about fixing machines there.

I'll huff back with help faster than fast!

[whistles]

[narrator] At the Dieselworks,

Den and Dart were busy.

Please, you must come right away.

Ol' Wheezy's broken!

We don't fix steam engines.

Ol' Wheezy's a machine!

He runs on oil.

You know all about oil.

[narrator] Den stopped. Dart smiled.

That's right!

[narrator] Thomas huffed happily.

I knew you'd help! Thank you, Dart.

We must hurry!

[narrator] Thomas pumped his pistons.

Dart slowed.

I want Den to come with me.

[narrator] Thomas was puzzled.

Why? You'll be fine on your own.

[whistles]

I want Den to come with me!

[narrator] But Thomas wasn't listening.

He had already chuffed cheerfully away.

Thomas and Dart pulled up to the Logging Station.

Dart's wheels wobbled with surprise!

He'd never seen anything like the Logging Locos before!

-I'm Dash! -I'm Bash!

And I'm Ferdinand!

[Dash and Bash] Welcome to Misty Island!

That's right!

[narrator] Dart smiled.

I'm Dart.

And this is Ol' Wheezy.

-Thomas says you can... -...fix it.

Please?

[narrator] Thomas led Dart over to Ol' Wheezy.

Ol' Wheezy didn't rattle.

Ol' Wheezy didn't roll.

No logs flew at all.

Dart was worried.

I've never seen a machine like this before.

[narrator] Dart's engineer poked and prodded.

Ol' Wheezy grumbled...

Ol' Wheezy rumbled...

Smoke swirled... Spanners flew!

And then... he stopped!

Dart was surprised!

Dizzy Diesels! I can't fix this!

[narrator] And Dart rattled and rocked away...

through the Misty Island Tunnel.

Thomas chuffed fast behind.

Dart raced into the Dieselworks.

'Arry and Bert were grumpy.

Where 'ave you been?

Den needs you to help 'im!

[narrator] Just then, Thomas whooshed in.

He was red in the face.

His axles ached. He was stern!

Den! Come with me now to Misty Island.

Please? I need you to fix Ol' Wheezy.

[narrator] Den was worried.

Dart must come with me.

[narrator] Thomas chuffed crossly.

You'll be fine on your own.

I want Dart to come with me!

[narrator] But Thomas wasn't listening.

Thomas had already wheeshed away.

At the Logging Station,

Thomas led Den to Ol' Wheezy.

Ol' Wheezy still didn't rattle.

Ol' Wheezy still didn't roll.

And no logs flew at all.

The Logging Locos were still worried.

So was Den.

I can't fix him on me own.

Of course, you can!

[narrator] Den's engineer poked and prodded.

Ol' Wheezy grumbled...

Ol' Wheezy rumbled...

More smoke swirled... More spanners flew!

And there were even stranger noises.

Then, Ol' Wheezy stopped!

Den was surprised!

Dizzy Diesels! I'm off!

[narrator] And Den wheezed away, like the wind.

The Logging Locos wobbled.

Thomas whooshed.

Don't worry! I'll try to fix Ol' Wheezy again!

[narrator] So, Thomas' driver poked and prodded.

Ol' Wheezy was worse than ever

Suddenly, he jumped and juddered...

Smoke swirled and curled...

And bits of metal... blocks of wood...

and blobs of oil... flew everywhere!

-[Dash] That's not meant to... -[Bash] ...Happen.

-That's right! -[all groan]

[narrator] The Logging Locos squealed and squeaked.

They weren't happy at all.

Neither was Thomas.

I wanted to fix Ol' Wheezy for you.

I wanted to make you happy.

I wanted to help you.

And I have only made things worse!

[narrator] Thomas looked at Ol' Wheezy.

Ol' Wheezy was still and silent.

I wish Percy was here to help me!

[narrator] Then Thomas gasped!

[gasps] If I want Percy's help,

then, of course, Den wants Dart's help!

Two busy boilers are always better than one!

[narrator] The Logging Locos were puzzled.

-What did he... -...say?

Search me.

[narrator] But Thomas was already roaring and racing

back to the Dieselworks.

Here 'e comes...

Bossy boiler himself.

[narrator] But Thomas wasn't bossy.

He was sorry.

Den and Dart, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before.

Please will you both come to Misty Island with me?

I know now that you both need to fix Ol' Wheezy.

[narrator] Den and Dart smiled.

-We'll come. -After you, Den.

[narrator] And together,

they clattered and clanked to Misty Island!

The Logging Locos were with Ol' Wheezy.

They were worried.

Don't worry!

Den and Dart will fix Ol' Wheezy now!

[narrator] Den and Dart rattled up.

Their engineers poked and prodded...

They pushed and pulled...

The Logging Locos watched and waited.

Then, with a grunt and grind...

a roar and a rattle...

Ol' Wheezy was fixed!

Logs flew!

They bounced and boinged!

They crashed and splashed

The Logging Locos were happy!

[laughs] One biff!

[laughs] One bash!

And there's always a crash!

[all laugh]

[narrator] Thomas beamed.

He was happy his friends were happy.

Thank you, Den and Dart!

[narrator] Den and Dart giggled and jiggled.

'Appy to 'elp..

[chuckles] What 'e means is...

we're always 'appy to 'elp-- together!

[narrator] And together,

-everyone laughed. -[all laugh]

[narrator] Even Ol' Wheezy threw an extra special log.
