[Narrator] Scruff is a very busy engine.

As well as taking garbage to Whiff'’s Waste Dump...

he also collects scrap...

and takes it to the scrap yard.

-Up, mate!-[Scruff] Hello, Reg!

Here'’s another trainfull o'’ scrap for ya!

[groans]Poppin'’ pistons!

This scrap is heavy!

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

Let'’s...get...scrunched!

-[clank]-Huh?

[grunts]

Oh, jumpin'’ junk!

I'’ve gone and blowna gasket!

I'’m stranded!

Help!

[crows caw]

[Narrator] Luckily, Samson was nearby,

so he was sent to fetch Scruff.

Not to worry, Scruff.

I'’llpull youto the steamworks.

Uh...thank you.

No need. Just bein'’really useful.

[toot toot]

Be careful!I'’m quite heavy!

Uh-- Unhhh!

But I'’mvery strong!

[Narrator] Finally, Samson shunted Scruff into the steamworks

so his boiler could be repaired.

Hello, my friend.

That was some verynice shunting.

Thanks, Victor.

Not a job on this islandI can'’t do.

[Sir Topham Hatt]Then you'’ll have no trouble

collecting scrap metal,Samson.

Oh ho! Yes, sir.Of course not, sir.

You and Harvey are to collecttrackside scrap

until Scuff is repaired.

Sodor must be kept cleanand tidy at all times.

Yes, sir. Will do, sir.

Born for this job, sir.

Get the scrap,clear the tracks,

clean the whole island!

-[Sir Topham Hatt] Hmm.-Uh, uh, Samson,

the main line'’sthe other way.

Uh, knew that, Harvey.

[Samson toots]

Come on.

[Harvey toots]

[Narrator] So Samson set out with Harvey

to collect the scrap

that had been left by the tracks.

Hello. What'’s that?

It looks like some scrap,Samson!

Exactly!

Rusty metaldumped by the tracks--

not very tidy, that.

Not tidy at all.

That'’s it, Harvey.

Pile it all in.

[birds chirping]

Whoa! More scrap!

Into the car it goes!

[postman whistling]

[Narrator] Samson was so excited about clearing up,

nothing was safe!

Oh! Look atthat old rust bucket.

In the car!

Are you sure that'’s scrap,Samson?

Am I the strongest engineon Sodor?

Erm...

Exactly!

Sling it in.

Uh, if you say so, Samson.

Ha! Ho ho.

[whistling]

Huh? Aah!

Hey! That'’s my bike! Wait!

Bring my bike back!

Well, that'’s funny.

I'’m sure there wasa bus stop sign here.

[Harvey] Aah! Samson!

Wait! That mysign!

Follow that train!

[Narrator] Meanwhile, Sir Topham Hatt was out and about

doing his daily rounds in his car.

[clank]

Oh, bother.A flat tire.

The driver looked for the spare tire to fix it,

but it wasn'’t there.

And then Sir Topham Hatt remembered.

Oh, bother.

Mother made me take it outto fit more suitcases

when we took her on holiday.

So Sir Topham Hatt and his driver

set off to look for aspare spare tire.

Look, Harvey.A battered old car!

Amazing what junkpeople will leavelying around these days.

Are you sure, Samson?

Only, it looks a littlebit,

erm, almost, eh...

exactly the sameas Sir Topham Hatt'’s car.

If it'’s Sir Topham Hatt'’s car,

where'’s Sir Topham Hatt, eh?

Load it in!

[Narrator] So Samson and Harvey steamed down the tracks

towards the scrap yard.

Now the fun part,eh, Harvey?

and watch Regcrunch up this junk! Ho ho!

Uh, if you say so, Samson.

It must be here somewhere.

And my bike!

And he must havetaken my car.

And Samson will be halfwayto the scrap yard by now!

Just then, Scruff came along,

fresh from the steamworks with his boiler repaired.
