On Sodor, we have lots
of different types of bridges.
Wooden ones, iron ones,
even stone ones.
But now, we have
a very unusual one.
I bet you'll never
guess what type it is.

The Inventor'sSpectacular Bridge.One morning,Toby was workingon his branch line withhis faithful coach, Henrietta,when he reachedthe rickety old bridge.
- Ready, Toby?
- Not really.
- [chuckles]
Oh, come on, Toby.
There's nothing to worry about.
That bridge
has been here forever!
- [Toby]
That's what I'm afraid of.
[bells ringing]
Ah...ah...ah...
[groaning]
- You can open
your eyes now.
- [gasps]
Phew!
That old bridge gives me
the heebie-jeebies.
- [Henrietta]
Well, take it from me,
it's as safeas a bridge can be.
[rumbling]
[crashing]
- Not long after,Toby and Henriettareturned from the quarry.
- Ready, Toby?
- Not really.
- [Harold]
Toby...
stop!
- Whoa!
Oh, oh...oh.
Oh, my!
- [Harold]
That was close.
You might wanna look where
you're going next time.
- Thanks, Harold.
- The bridge is out,
but thankfully all personnel
appear safe and calm.
Over.
- [Sir Topham Hatt]
Yes, thank you, Harold.
This looks like
a job for Rocky.
I need you to find Emily
and ask her to bring him here.
- Roger that.
Over and out.
- Don't worry, Toby!
We'll have you back in no time.
- Thank you, sir.
We won't be going anywhere!
- Dearie, me, Thomas.
That bridge is going
to take weeks to repair.
We need a miracle
of engineering...and fast.
- That's it, sir!
If anyone could solve
this problem, Ruth can!
- Ruth! The inventor!
Of course.
We need to tell her
about this immediately.
- Already on my way, sir!
- Behold the amazing,
astounding, rootin'-tootin'
whistle clock!
[whistles blow,
clock chimes]]
[train whistle toots]
- That doesn't sound right.
- [whistle toots]
- Quick, Ruth!
We've got no time to lose.
There's an emergency
at Lower Arlesburgh
and we need your help!
- Then what are we waiting for?
[light music]♪ ♪
- Thank you, Rocky.
You can take that lot
to the scrapyard now, Emily.
- Yes, sir.

Hello, everyone!

- So...what do you think, Ruth?
Can you build us a new bridge?
- It's more a question of
what type of bridge to build.
There's a beam bridge,
a pier bridge,
or a suspension bridge.
But those will take too long.
What you need
is something innovative.
- Ooh...
- What about a flying bridge?
Or a magnetic bridge?
Or a rocket power...
- Not now, Thomas.
We mustn't get
too carried away.
Ruth needs time to think.
- But Ruth's amazing, sir.
Inventing is like a walk
in the park for her.
- [gasps]
That's it!
Thomas, you're a genius.
- I am?
- He is?
- Yes!
Thomas, I'll need your help.
If I may, Sir Topham.
- Oh, why, yes, of course.
[stammers]
Anything you need.
- [Ruth] Quick, Thomas!
To the workshop!
[whistle toots]
- Uh...what just happened?
[upbeat music]♪ ♪
- Now for the fun part.
Let's go
and set up this bridge!
- Yes, let's do this!
[whistle toots]
- Thanks, Rocky.
It looks great.
- Oh, glad to be useful.
[whistle toots]
- I'm here, Ruth.
And I can't wait to see--
Oh.
Is that it?
- It sure is!
- But it appears to be...
only a quarter finished.
- Exactly.
Now, please ask Toby
to roll forward
onto the bridge.
- Uh, yes, of course.
[clears throat]
Uh, Toby!
Would you be so kind as
to roll onto the, uh, bridge?
- The...bridge, sir?
- Go on, Toby.
What are you waiting for?
Don't you want to go
back to your shed?
- Yeah, but in one piece.
[bells ringing]
- Okay, hold it right there.
Perfect.
- Whoa!
- Now, the moment of truth.
[machinery whirring]
- [Toby]
Oh, oh, oh...
Ohhh...!
- [Ruth] Behold!
The stupendous,
spectacular
walking bridge!

- Toby, you may now roll
forward off the bridge.
- Oh!
- It's wonderful.
- [Sir Topham Hatt] Welcome
home, Toby and Henrietta!

- [Sonny in a sing-song

I think I may have
come the wrong way.
- Uh, Ruth, may I?

We're coming to get you.

- Have you ever had
to solve a difficult problem?
Once, when the children neededto be taken to a new school,Duck was keen to help.To do that, he hadto find himself a coach.But when the only coach hecould find had broken wheels,he solved the problemby turning the coachinto a school!When the ricketyold bridge collapsed,it was up to Ruth to figureout how to build a new bridgein the fastest time ever.
Sometimes the best solution
is not always
the most obvious one.
Next time you have
to solve a problem,
try thinking about it
in a different way.
You never know, you might just
come up with a great idea.
- [Annie] Come on, Thomas!
- It's time to go.
- See you next time!
