Part 1

• Mr. Conductor 1: Thomas and Percy have a mail run. I'll tell you.
• (Mr. Conductor 1 blows his whistle and Thomas, Percy and The Mail Train starts)
• Mr. Conductor 1: That night, when the other engines are tucked away in their sheds, you can still hear a faraway call of an engine's whistle, and a clickity-clack a train wheel's turning. This is the sound of a mail train. One train is pulled by Thomas, and the other by Percy, as the loads are too heavy for one engine to do the work alone. The mail is loaded into freight cars at the harbour and the engines pull their trains through the silent stations delivering their precious loads. One a clear night, a big shiny moon brightens their journey, but often Thomas and Percy can even see the stars. But whenever the weather, lamps along the track always light their way. One night, Percy was waiting at the junction. The main line train was late. At last, Henry arrived.
• Henry: Sorry.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He puffed.
• Henry: The mail boat from the main line was delayed.
• Percy's Driver: Come on, Percy.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said his driver.
• Percy's Driver: Let's make up for lost time.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Percy hurried along as quickly as he could. But the sun was already rising as he finish his work.
• Percy: Never mind.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thought Percy.
• Percy: It's nice be up in about, when it's the start of a new day and there's no one else around.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Percy was not alone for long.
• Percy: Bother!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thought Percy.
• Percy: It's that dizzy-thing Harold.
• Harold: Good morning.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Whirled Harold.
• Harold: I only said railways were out of date, but you're so slow with the mail. You should give everyone their stamps back.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Percy was too tired to explain.
• Percy: Bird brain.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He muttered.
• Duck: Good morning, Percy.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Called Duck.
• Duck: You're up early this morning.
• Percy: No, you're wrong.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Sighed Percy.
• Percy: I'm back, tired and late.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He rolled up to the shed and fell asleep, almost before his buffers touched the bar. He driver decided to set off early that evening. Thomas was waiting at the station.
• Thomas: Thank goodness I have a chance to speak to you. Driver says the person in charge of the mail has complained to Sir Topham Hatt about the delay last night.
• Percy: But that wasn't my fault.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Replied Percy.
• Thomas: I know.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Thomas.
• Thomas: And so does Sir Topham Hatt, but this mail person wouldn't listen. Tonight, we'll just have to be quicker than ever before.
• Mr. Conductor 1: The engines were just leaving when they heard a familiar buzzing.
• Harold: I say, you two, there's news flying about.
• Percy: Where?
• Mr. Conductor 1: Puffed Percy crossly.
• Harold: All other the place. They're going to scrap the mail train and use me instead. Wings work wonders you know. Always.
• Thomas: Rubbish.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Huffed Thomas. That night, everything ran like clockwork. Thomas and Percy steamed through the stations making good time everywhere they went. At a station, Thomas notice the man looking cold and worried. He had missed his train home.
• Thomas' Driver: We can give you a ride.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Thomas' driver.
• Thomas' Driver: But it'll be rather uncomfortable.
• Man: Thank you.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said the man.
• Man: Anything's better than sitting here.
• Mr. Conductor 2: The next afternoon, Percy past the airfield and saw Harold.
• Percy: Hello, lazywings. Are you too tired to fly today?
• Harold: The wings are too strong.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Grumbled Harold.
• Harold: I've been grounded.
• Percy: You need rails.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Laughed Percy.
• Percy: They work wonders you know. Always.
• Mr. Conductor 1: That night, Sir Topham Hatt show the two engines a letter. It was from the man who missed his train.
• Sir Topham Hatt: He thinks you are both splendid, and everyone says that the mail train is the pride of the line.
• (Thomas, Percy and The Mail Train ends)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thomas and Percy liked pulling the mail.
• Weezing: Weezing.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Serena and Mina always play with their stockings.
• Victreebel: (screeches)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Bailey and Marina are cool in wearing tights.
• Meowth: Pink, black and other colors.
• Mr. Conductor 1: My old friend Tom Tipper takes the mail. I'll tell you.
• (Mr. Conductor 1 blows his whistle and Mind That Bike starts)
• Mr. Conductor 1: If one morning you were to ride in Bertie the bus, he would ride down the winding countryroad with him, crossed over stone wall bridges and travel past Thomas' branch line. The you would hear Bertie's friendly greeting as he sees one of his friends pass by. His name is Tom Tipper the postman. Every day, Tom travels cheerfully around the Island of Sodor. He stops at stations collecting letters and parcels from Thomas and Percy's mail train. Then he delivers the mail to farms and cottages far and wide. The engines know that anywhere their rails wont reach, Tom Tipper would collect their mail and deliver it safely come rain or shine. He's always ready to load mail bags onto the trains too.
• Percy: Thank you, Tom.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Whistles Percy.
• Thomas: Yes indeed.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Agrees Thomas.
• Thomas: You're a really useful postman.
• Tom: Ah.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Replies Tom.
• Tom: But where would i be without me van. We make a grand pare.
• Mr. Conductor 1: One day, Tom wasn't at the platform. A postman they didn't know dumped the bags on the platform and disappeared.
• Percy: What happened to Tom?
• Mr. Conductor 1: Wondered Percy.
• Driver: And his old van.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said his driver.
• Driver: No wonder the new postman looks cross. Trying to carry mail bags on a bicycle would make anyone miserable.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Next morning the engines were glad to see Tom back again. But he looked very sad.
• Tom: The postmaster has decided my van is too expensive to run. The rounds take longer on my bike. I'm sorry, i can't stop to help ya.
• Percy: I wished i could cheer Tom Tipper up.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Sighed Percy the Small Engine. He was just wondering about how this might be done when his thoughts were rudely interrupted. A man was shouting at Tom Tipper.
• Man: You gotta come back to Sir Topham Hatt's office! He needs you to sign some important papers right away.
• Tom: Oh, dear.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Replied Tom Tipper.
• Tom: This is going to make me later still.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He was in a hurry and being careless. He propped his bike against Percy's mail car and rushed away.
• Percy: Stop!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Cried Percy. But Tom was out of sight. There was worst to come. Percy's driver hadn't seen the bike and he started away.
• Percy: Oh, no!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Cried Percy.
• Percy: Now they'll be trouble.
• Mr. Conductor 1: And there was. Percy's driver quickly stop the train. Everyone came running to the scene. Tom Tipper's bicycle was in pieces.
• Percy: I'm sorry, Mr. Tipper.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Apologized Percy.
• Tom: Never mind, Percy.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said the postman.
• Tom: It wasn't your fault. But now i've only my legs to get the mail delivered. Whatever will happen next?
• Mr. Conductor 1: Tom Tipper soon found out. Next day he was waiting happily for Percy.
• Percy: Peep peep!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Whistled Percy.
• Percy: Is that a smart new van I see?
• Tom: It is indeed. That accident did me a good tire, Percy. My chief decided my new van should do the job much better than my old bike and worth the expense. Now i can always be on time again.
• Percy: So I did help.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Beamed Percy.
• Percy: But by accident you might say.
• (Mind That Bike ends)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Tom Tipper is a postman.
• Wobbuffet: Wobbu.
• Mr. Conductor 1: All the people all friendly.
• Arbok: Sharbok.

Part 2

• (We see Mr. Conductor 1 with Team Rocket's Pokemon)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Bailey and Marina are described as sisters.
• Meowth: They are.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Bailey's full name is Bailey Longstocking.
• Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet.
• Mr. Conductor 1: And Marina's full name is Marina Longstocking.
• Arbok: Sharbok.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Duncan went Rock N Roll. I'll tell you.
• (Mr. Conductor 1 blows his whistle and Rock N Roll starts)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Skarloey the Little Engine loves all the sights and sounds along his line and knows them very well. One morning, soon after he returned from being mended, he was enjoying his journey more than ever before. Along the way, he met Rusty.
• Skarloey: You know...
• Mr. Conductor 1: He said.
• Skarloey: If i couldn't see those familiar faces and places, i think i was on a different railway. You've done wonders with these rails.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Rusty laughed.
• Rusty: I'm glad you're pleased. Manager says let's mend the tracks so well that he don't know where he is. And we did, and you didn't if you take my meaning.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Skarloey liked this hard working diesel.
• Rusty: There's still one more bad bit.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Warned Rusty just before the first station.
• Rusty: An engine might come off there particularly Duncan. He will Rock N Roll along the line. Look at him right now. I hope he doesn't hurt his passengers.
• Duncan: What's that about me? I'm a plain engine and i believe in plain speaking. Speak up!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Rusty warned Duncan about the bad bit of rails.
• Duncan: Huh! I know my way about. I don't need smelly diesels to tell me what to do.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Rusty felt hurt. Duncan banged about the yard. Then, he clattered crossly to the station. James was already there waiting for him.
• James: You're late!
• Mr. Conductor 1: He snapped.
• Duncan: I know.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Duncan.
• Duncan: It's that smelly Diesel's fault. Rusty tries to teach me how to stay on the rails and then goes off leaving me to find my own coaches.
• James: You poor engine.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Sympatized James.
• James: I know all about Diesels. One crepted into our yard and ordered us about. I soon sent him packing.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Duncan was filled with admiration. He didn't know that James was boastful and sometimes didn't tell the truth.
• Duncan: Send Rusty packing, send Rusty packing.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Snorted Duncan. He climbed a hill furiously.
• Duncan's Driver: Well done, boy.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Encouraged his driver.
• Duncan's Driver: Keep it up.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Soon they were near the first station. Duncan was pleased.
• Duncan: Nothing's happened, nothing's happened. Silly old diesel, clever me.
• Mr. Conductor 1: And he rocked and rolled along the line.
• Duncan's Driver: Steady, boy.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Checked his driver. But it was too late.
• Duncan: Sleepers and ballast i'm off.
• Mr. Conductor 1: And he was.
• Rusty: I warned him.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Rusty.
• Rusty: But all he did was call me names.
• Mr. Conductor 1: The little diesel refused to move.
• Skarloey: I'm ashamed of you Rusty.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Skarloey.
• Skarloey: Think of the passengers what are they going to do?
• Rusty: Oh, i've forgotten them. Yes of course, we must help the passengers.
• Mr. Conductor 1: And Rusty roared into life. Duncan stood sad and solitary. He couldn't Rock N Roll now.
• Duncan: Oh, dear.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He thought.
• Duncan: Everyone will know how silly i am.
• Mr. Conductor 1: The passengers had to get out and help too. They weren't very pleased about that but worked as hard as they could. They carefully leavered Duncan back onto the line. After that, Duncan was extra careful all day. At last, evening came.
• Duncan: Rusty.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He whispered.
• Duncan: Thank you for helping. I'm sorry i was rude to you.
• Rusty: That's all right, Duncan.
• Duncan: I wish all diesels were like you. Let's be friends.
• Rusty: Suits me.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Replied Rusty.
• Rusty: We'll mend that bad bit of rails first thing tomorrow.
• (Rock N Roll ends)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Duncan did Rock N Roll.
• Weezing: Weezing.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Whitney's full name is Whitney Kratt.
• Victreebel: (screeches)
• Mr. Conductor 1: And Tierra's full name is Tierra Kratt.
• Meowth: That makes Kratt sisters.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Duncan got a bad day here. I'll tell you.
• (Mr. Conductor 1 blows his whistle and Home At Last starts)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Skarloey had been to the works to be mended. He felt much better. Rusty the Diesel was helping him off his rail car. Skarloey hadn't met the little diesel before.
• Skarloey: Rusty seems a kindly sort of engine.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He thought to himself.
• Rusty: I help to mend the line and do odd jobs.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Explained Rusty.
• Rusty: I hear everyone is looking forward to seeing you again. Come on.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Peter Sam was feeling depressed. He was still getting over but he wanted to start work again. Sir Topham Hatt wouldn't let him.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Another day's rest will do you good.
• Mr. Condutor 1: He said.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Besides, i got a surprise for you.
• Peter Sam: For me, sir, how nice, sir, what is it, sir?
• Sir Topham Hatt: Wait and see.
• Mr. Conductor 1: The surprise was Skarloey.
• Peter Sam: Oh.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Peter Sam.
• Peter Sam: I'm glad you've come home.
• Mr. Conductor 1: They lit Skarloey's fire and he sizzled happily.
• Skarloey: I feel all excited.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He said.
• Skarloey: Just like a young engine. Now tell me all the news.
• Peter Sam: I see you've met Rusty.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Peter Sam.
• Skarloey: Yes. I like that Diesel.
• Peter Sam: So do i.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Replied Peter Sam.
• Peter Sam: It's a pity Duncan doesn't.
• Skarloey: Who is Duncan?
• Peter Sam: He came as a spare engine after my accident.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Replied Peter Sam.
• Skarloey: Is he useful?
• Peter Sam: He keeps busy and i'm sure he means well. But he's bouncy and rude. He sings and sways and swivles around. His drivers call it Rock N Roll.
• Skarloey: I understand.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Said Skarloey gravely. His driver interrupted.
• Skarloey's Driver: Duncan has done it again, he's stuck in the tunnel. Come on, old boy, we'll have to get him out.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Skarloey was pleased. He wanted to run and look forward to meeting Duncan. They found a caboose and some workmen and hurried up the line.
• Skarloey: How nice and smooth the rails are.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thought Skarloey.
• Skarloey: They mended all the old bumps. The little diesel has helped to that. What a difference Rusty's made to the line.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Quite soon they found Duncan. He was stuck at the far end of the tunnel and he was very cross.
• Duncan: I'm a plain blunt engine, i speak as i'm fine. Tunnels should be tunnels and not rabbit holes. This railway is no good at all.
• Duncan's Driver: Don't be silly!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Snapped his Driver.
• Duncan's Driver: This tunnel is quite big enough for engines who don't Rock N Roll.
• Mr. Conductor 1: It took a long time to clear away the rocks and set Duncan free again. At last, Skarloey was able to push Duncan and his coaches safely through. The caboose was left on the siding and the workmen stayed to make sure everything was safe. Duncan grumbled all the way home, but Skarloey payed no attention. Later, Sir Topham Hatt spoke severly to Duncan.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Listen to me. There is nothing wrong with that tunnel. You stuck in it because you tried to do Rock N Roll. Tunnels are not dance floors and you are not a pop star.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Then Sir Topham Hatt gave his full attention to Duncan's funnel.
• Sir Topham Hatt: If it happens again...
• Mr. Conductor 1: He ended ominously.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I should find ways to cut you down to size. In other words your carreer is um (clears throat) on the line. Need i say more.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Duncan thought Sir Topham Hatt had said quite enough and he remained completely silent and still for at least the whole evening.
• (Owl hooting)
• (Home At Last ends)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Duncan got bad behavior.
• Wobbuffet: Wobbu.
• Mr. Conductor 1: All the engines feel bad sometimes.
• Arbok: Sharbok.
• (End of Part 2)

• Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Florinda and Tamao both have pumps.
• Arbok: Sharbok.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thomas got a letter from a girl. I'll tell you.
• (Mr. Conductor 1 blows his whistle and Thomas and The Special Letter starts)
• Mr. Conductor 1: One evening, Thomas brought his last train to the junction. Percy was glad to see him.
• Percy: Are you on your way to the big station, Thomas?
• Thomas: Yes I am. Why?
• Percy: Because I'm going there too.
• Thomas: I think something's up.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Toby looked up in the sky.
• Toby: Where?
• Thomas: Not up there, down here.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Laughed Thomas.
• Toby: How come something be up when it's down?
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thomas was too excited to explain.
• Thomas: Bust my buffers! Look over there!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Mavis, BoCo, Bill, Ben, Donald, Oliver and Douglas paraded past.
• Donald: Good evening, you three.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Whistled Donald.
• Donald: Aren't we all a fine sight?
• Toby: Very splendid indeed.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Admired Toby.
• Donald: Sorry we can't stop. Sir Topham Hatt wants us all together at the station.
• Thomas: What is this about?
• Mr. Conductor 1: Asked Thomas.
• Driver: Sir Topham Hatt has a plan.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Answered his driver.
• Driver: Come on.
• Mr. Conductor 1: So they followed the other engines to the big station at the end of the line.
• (Engines whistling)
• Sir Topham Hatt: Silence!
• Mr. Conductor 1: Called Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I have an important letter to read from a little girl who is five years old. Dear Thomas and all the engines, please can I meet you? My friends say they would like to meet you too. You can come to my house for tea, but my mummy says there aren't any railway tracks in my house. Can you come to the station instead? Thank you very much. It seems...
• Mr. Conductor 1: Continued Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: ...that there any many girls and boys who would like to meet you. Therefore, we are all going to the big city faraway.
• Engines: Hooray! Hooray!
• Mr. Conductor 1: The engines whistled.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Silence! Other engines will be working here while you were away so please show them what to do.
• Mr. Conductor 1: As Annie and Clarabel are going to the big city, Thomas and Oliver practice with some other coaches. Thomas grew more and more excited. Too excited for his own good.
• Thomas: I'm glad I'm a splendid engine.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He puffed.
• Thomas: Sir Topham Hatt thinks I'm really useful engine. I had a race with Bertie once. I whooshed through the tunnel and stopped in inch from the buffers.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Then Thomas made his mistake.
• Thomas: Just like this!
• Mr. Conductor 1: He boasted.
• (Thomas bursts into the buffers, hits through a fence, rolls down a slope and smashes into a wall)
• Mr. Conductor 1: No one was hurt, but Thomas' front was badly bent. They telephoned to Sir Topham Hatt.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I'll send up the workmen.
• Mr. Conductor 1: He said.
• Sir Topham Hatt: But if they can't mend Thomas in time, we'll have to go to the big city without him.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Poor Thomas. 8:00 next morning, the engines waited at the junction. Toby and Percy reached on the truck, and Duck had pushed them into place behind Edward. Gordon, James and Henry are ready to lead off. They whistled impatiently. Sir Topham Hatt looked at his watch.
• Sir Topham Hatt: I'll wait one more minute for Thomas and then we have to go.
• Thomas: Oh, thank goodness you're still here.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Panted Thomas.
• Annie and Clarabel: I hope we're not late as it's just after eight.
• Mr. Conductor 1: The conductor blew his whistle and waved his flag. The engines cheered.
• Engines: Look out, big city, here we come!
• Mr. Conductor 1: And the cavalcade puffed away. Later at the big city, all the engines were lined up in their splendid shed. Children were delighted to meet their friends.
• Thomas: I'm glad the little girl wrote to us.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Whispered Thomas to Percy.
• Thomas: Isn't it wonderful what happiness a letter can bring?
• (Thomas and The Special Letter ends)
• Mr. Conductor 1: Thomas did get that letter.
• Weezing: Weezing.
• Mr. Conductor 1: Bailey and Marina are born in 2000.
