I'm Bertie said the bus who are you I'm Thomas I run this branch line Bertie left oh now I remember he said he was stuck in the snow I have to take your passengers so Terence the tractor had to get you out I've come to help you with your passengers today help me said Thomas angrily, I can go faster than you, he said, turning bluer than ever and venting, you can't say Bertie, I can have Thomas, I'll run, you said Bertie, his drivers accepted the race, the station master shouted, are you ready, and he were?

It always took Thomas a little time to gain speed, so Bertie quickly closed in. At the front, Thomas ran well but he didn't rush. Why don't you go fast? Why don't you go fast? They called Annie and Clarabel who were running behind wait and look wait and look at their Thomas, he is far ahead, far ahead.

Now Thomas had reached his full speed. Bertie tried with all his might, but so did Thomas. Fast and fast, they ran excited passengers cheered and shouted across the valley as Thomas whistled triumphantly and dashed into the tunnel leaving Bertie working far behind, we've done it, we've done it, Annie and Clarabel sang happily as they would at the last station. . everyone was there to give Thomas three cheers for winning the race, everyone gave Bertie a big welcome, well done, Thomas said Bertie, that was fun, but to beat you on that hill, I should have had wings and been a plane now, Thomas and Bertie.

They keep themselves very busy Bertie finds people in the villages who want to go by train and takes them to Thomas while Thomas takes people to the station for Bertie to take home. Percy and Thomas often talk about their race, but Bertie's passengers don't like being bounced around like peas in a frying pan, the Fat Controller has warned Thomas not to run at dangerous speeds, so although Thomas and Bertie are afraid I would like to have another career, I don't think they ever will.
