board sorry wrong carton that's what we

need a band a band to meet the new train

and make all the passengers feel really

welcome no what you need to do is post

the new schedule so that the passengers

can see the changes

and by the way what happened to the

regular train oh oh I completely forgot

about the regular train now what did he

say uh 20 minutes earlier no no no may

maybe he said 20 minutes later oh no I

forgot oh my goodness oh we can't have

any mistakes not here on the Indian valy

railroad mistakes happen you know

especially when you're impatient are you

going to tell us the story not if you're

impatient I'm not impatient then you'll

have to

wait you've waited long enough come

on Thomas the Tank Engine was grumbling

to the other engines I spend my time

pulling coaches about ready for you to

take out on

Journeys the other engines

laughed why can't I pull passenger

trains too you're too impatient they

said you'd be sure to leave something

behind rubbish said Thomas I'll show

you one night he and Henry were

alone Henry was Ill the men worked hard

but he didn't get

better he felt just as bad next morning

Henry usually pull the first train and

Thomas had to get his coaches ready if

Henry is ill he thought perhaps I shall

pull his

train Thomas ran to find the

coaches Come Along come along he fussed

there's plenty of time there's plenty of

time they grumbled Thomas took them to

the platform and wanted to run round in

front at

once but his driver would wouldn't let

him don't be impatient Thomas Thomas

waited and waited the people got in the

conductor and station Master walked up

and down the porter banged the doors and

still Henry didn't come Thomas got more

and more excited s topam hat came to see

what was the matter and the conductor

and the station Master told him about

Henry find another engine he ordered

there's only Thomas they said you'll

have to do it then Thomas be quick now

[Applause]

so Thomas ran round to the front and

backed down on the coaches ready to

start let's not be impatient said his

driver we'll wait till everything is

ready but Thomas was too excited to

[Music]

listen what happened then no one knows

perhaps they forgot to couple Thomas to

the train or perhaps the driver pulled

the lever by mistake anyhow Thomas

started without his coaches that's he

passed the First Signal Tower men waved

and shouted but he didn't stop they're

waving because I'm such a splendid

engine he thought

importantly Henry says it's hard to pull

trains but I think it's easy hurry hurry

hurry he puffed pretending to be like

Gordon people have never seen me pulling

the train before it's nice of them to

wave and he whistled beep peep thank you

[Music]

then he came to a signal at danger

bother he thought I must stop and I was

going so nicely too what a nuisance

signals are he blew an angry Peep Peep

on his whistle the signal man ran up

hello Thomas he said what are you doing

here I'm pulling a train said Thomas

can't you see where are your coaches

then Thomas looked back why bless me he

said if we haven't left them behind

yes said the signalman you'd better go

back quickly and fetch

them poor Thomas was so sad he nearly

cried cheer up said his driver let's go

back quickly and try again

[Music]

at the station all the passengers were

talking at once they were telling to top

and hat what a bad Railway it was but

when Thomas came back they saw how sad

he was and couldn't be cross he was

coupled to the train and this time he

really pulled

[Music]

it afterwards the other end engin

laughed at Thomas and said look there's

Thomas who wanted to pull a train but

forgot about the coaches but Thomas had

already learned not to make the same

mistake

[Music]

idea let's see what we can come come up

with oh this looks

promising what is this and

[Music]

[Music]

this that's the local remake supp to be

a band instruments Splendid I'm quite an

old hand at musical instruments myself

you know I don't know if they sound as

good as instruments you can buy in the

store it's all in how you play them what

you need is a little rhythm why was a

simple pair of drum kits you can make

music on a building on the sidewalk on

the railing on a sidewalk on a building

Absolutely I'll show you look over there

at the end

[Music]

he

that was neat all you need is a little

rhythm that's right and don't forget

we're all born with our own instruments

you know what's that Mr Conductor our

voices

m i feels so bad the passenger Miss

train is going to complain to the

railroad people get impatient people

complain

engines get impatient engines

complain it happens to you and it

happens to

Thomas so what happened to Thomas oh

very well I will tell you please do all

right let's

go Thomas the Tank Engine wouldn't stop

being a nuisance night after night he

kept the other engines awake I'm tired

of pushing coaches I want to see the

world the other engines didn't take much

notice for Thomas was a little engine

with a long

tongue but one night Edward came to the

shed he was a kind Little Engine and

felt sorry for Thomas I've got some

Freight cars to take home tomorrow if

you take them instead of me I'll push

coaches in the yard thank you said

Thomas that will be nice

next morning Edward and Thomas asked

their drivers and when they said yes

Thomas ran off happily to find Freight

cars now the freight cars are silly and

noisy they talk a lot and don't attend

to what they are doing and I'm sorry to

say they play tricks on an engine who is

not used to

them Edward knew all about breight cars

he warned Thomas to be be careful but

Thomas was too excited to

[Music]

listen the shunter fastened the coupling

and when the signal dropped Thomas was

ready the conductor blew his whistle

Peep Peep answered Thomas and started

off but the freight cars weren't ready

oh oh oh they screamed wait Thomas wait

but Thomas wouldn't wait come on come on

he pu all right all right don't fuss all

right don't fo scumble the

cars Thomas began going faster and

faster he whistled as he rushed through

Henry's

[Music]

tunnel hurry hurry called Thomas he was

feeling very proud of himself but the

cars grew Crosser and

Crosser at last Thomas slowed down as he

came to Gordon's Hill

[Music]

steady now steady warned the driver as

theyd reach the

top he began to put on the brakes we're

stopping we're stopping called

Thomas no no no answered the cars

bumping into each other go on go on

before the driver could stop them they

had pushed Thomas down the hill and were

rattling and laughing behind him poor

Thomas tried hard to stop them from

making him go too fast stop pushing stop

pushing he hiss but the calls took no

notice go on go on they giggled in their

silly

way there's the station oh dear what

shall I do he cried he rattled straight

through and swerved into the good J

Thomas shut his eyes I must

stop when he opened his eyes he saw he

had stopped just in front of the buffers

they're watching him was the Topp of

hat what are you doing here Thomas he

asked I've brought Edward's Freight cars

Thomas answered why did you come so fast

I didn't mean to I was pushed said

Thomas you've got a lot to learn about

Freight cars Thomas after pushing them

about here for a few weeks you know all

as much about them as Edward then you'll

be a really useful

[Music]

engine thanks for the story it was just

what I needed

Stacy did you put that entire schedule

together for memory well I had some help

from Mr Conductor Mr Conductor he's the

little man who lives in the wall oh yes

the little man who lives in the wall I

forgot wait is that

right you mean I can catch the train at

20 after and still be in Mount careful

before the other train yes it's the new

train that's stopping here today

oneman band

[Music]

oh there's a one man band convention at

Mount Careo and I'm the only participant

and I didn't want to miss it

I'm sorry that I seem so upset before or

I should have taken time to read the

schedule well no I should have taken

time to get it right the first time and

from now on I'm keeping a pad and pencil

right by the phone so I don't make that

same mistake
