Later, Gordon entered the large station yard, that's what I need, Gordon exclaimed. There they emerged from the sheds and there were two shiny

tender

s. Now, if he had two

tender

s, Gordon said, he wouldn't need to stop as often and he wouldn't have to. listen to the silly little

engines

those tenders belong to a visitor replied his diesel driver sidled up everyone knows that tenders are a mark of distinction but I'm afraid no amount of tendering will save you in the end the diesels are taking over and we We don't need tenders to become important not even a single Gordon was very upset he backed away towards his train whistling sadly cheer up Gordon said the fat inspector answers it's true what the diesel says sir what were you saying the diesels are taking over don?

Don't worry Gordon that will never happen on my railway and one more thing sir why did the visitor have two tenders because he lives on a railway with long distances between coal and depots? Gordon felt better, but Henry stops complaining, he hit some trucks angry, he always works. Strong enough for two, he snorted, I deserve another tender duck, he whispered something to Donald, he was going to play a prank on Henry, Henry asked innocently: would you like my offers to be yours, what do you have to do with offers? Do you like them, Donald, I wouldn't need a private, Donald answered, It's a great honor, Doctor continued thoughtfully, But I'm just a tank engine, Maybe James could, I'm sorry, I was rude, Henry said hurriedly, How many offers do you have and when could I have them?

I have six and you can have them tonight. “Six cute little charmers,” Henry laughed. What a splendid sight. I will be. Henry was excited all day. Do you think everything will be okay? he asked for the umpteenth time. Of course, said Doug, they're all ready now the other

engines

waited where each could get a good view, but Henry wasn't a splendid sight at all. His six assistants were very old, dirty and full of boiler sludge. He washed himself well, Henry. calls the voice, that's right, you will feel a different engine now he was maneuvering ready for his return trip when that sounds like a steam engine he thought the whistle appeared again who is there came a whisper are you the engine of a fat driver?

I butted in, thank goodness. I'm Oliver and I'm with my breakfast toad. We're out of coal and we have no more steam, but what are you doing escaping that junk? Douglas shuddered and then remembered Edward's story about saving Trevor. I'll be happy to help you. You, he said, will have to look like you're ready for the scrap metal and I'll take you. Drivers and firefighters also agree to help. Everyone works fast. They need time to change pants and Douglas. I'll even offer you to the first person who arrives. Before they could leave the station they were stopped, aha, a foreman exclaimed, a big western engine and brake fan suit, you can't take these, ah, but they're all for us, said the Douglas driver, check it out yourself, the foreman looked everywhere.

Oliver seems in order immediately guard that was a good thing worse Oliver had smiled and they forged that it was day when he finished his trip we are at home he cried douglas said that his driver there is the works we will find a place for oliver oliver said goodbye and thank you and douglas He snorted the next day Douglas told the other engines all about Oliver the Fat Controller will have to know said James Douglas should tell him right away added Gordon Well here it is said a voice now what is this all about? I need another engine, yes, sir, ventured Gordon, a steam engine, sir, I'm afraid that unless one is safe from scrap, there is little hope, but sir, burst out Douglas, one has, yes, of done, and thanks to you, Douglas, he is now in our factory, Oliver is just what the duck branch needs.

The vicar says that not all children can spend holidays by the sea so he is going to have a garden party for raise money for a trip to the beach I'm going to be the star attraction talk Trevor giving rides to all the visitors The vicar is putting up posters about everything. I'd like to help Edward too, but without my rails I wouldn't be very good at a garden party. The victim has been so busy that she forgot to put up the signs. Now no one will. He knew about the party but Edward had an idea, don't worry, he said everything was going to be fine and then he explained to his driver that the vicar can stick his posters on my cabin cars, so wherever he goes they will be very well done. , Edward. said his driver, I'm sure the Fat Controller will agree, as indeed he did, Edward happily sailed through the stations picking up his passengers.

Look, they said the vicar is having a party we should go to. Later, Trevor was resting in the orchard shed when Bertie rolled over. by hello trevor why are you sleeping there like an old stick in the mud? I'm not sleeping, I'm resting. Trevor replied and then told Bertie about the vicar's party. I'll be there too. Bertie boasted. I'm not sure people want to. traveling in an old traction motor after traveling in a fancy red bus like me the day the party arrived it had rained a lot during the night and the orchard ground was sudden the rain and mud won't ruin my day said Trevor no, of course In fact he agreed with his driver, we will stay on the road and thus not get stuck.

Trevor was soon busy going up and down the quiet country road carrying many laughing children. He was turning a corner when he heard Bertie, hey man, I'll take you all to Edward's party idea it's really working Trevor gave Bertie a happy whistle and turned towards the orchard then there was trouble help I'm stuck Bertie shouted Its wheels had sunk deep into the disturbed mud terrain The tractor arrived just in time I'm the one who has to plow the fields laugh Terrance We better get you out using strong ropes Terrance and Trevor pulled Bertie out of the mud James pushed him What?

Is it that duck that snorted? Are you afraid of bees, after all they are just insects, so don't leave it? that diesel buzz box tells you otherwise his name is boko and he doesn't we wouldn't care he interrupted james if there were hundreds milling around i just blow smoke and make them buzz buzz buzz buzz replied duck the next morning james arrived at the station to pick up his cars the passengers were excited and eager to get on board the platform was full and the porter was in a hurry watch your back he shouted then there was trouble the hive fell and the station opened it cleared as if by magic james heard a familiar The bees were too cold to cross, so they buzzed around the fire brigade hoping he would remember the hive, but he didn't understand nor did his driver, so the bees turned to James.

His boiler was nice and warm, but off, off, yes, James. bee burned his foot oh ah a few beethoven james had burned it on purpose so it stung james right in the nose whistle james had had enough also his fireman and his driver didn't realize until too late that they had left all his trainers behind tried everything to get rid of the bees first they rotated the rotating platform without success they tried to wash them but the bees clung harder to James' hot cauldron then they tried to smoke them by going through a long tunnel but still the bees would not leave no good james said his driver would just have to go back to the orchard and look for another hive james response was drowned out by the sound of a buzzing sound the vicar was anxiously waiting for james when the swarm of bees arrived straight for their new home come on , James said what his driver needs now is a good hose later that night, James was resting in the shed when the vicar came to see him thanks for saving my bees, he said it's a shame it's not Christmas so we They could call you James the Red Nose Engine.

They all laughed, even James, but instead they decided to call James the bee's knees, meaning they thought he was more useful than ever. Every night the two locomotives pull two fast trains from the station. Gordon always leaves first with an express for the main line Edward follows five minutes later with his train for the branch usually everything runs like clockwork but tonight there was trouble a lady with the green hat was saying goodbye to a friend it was almost time for Gordon to start the The firefighters looked at the guards truck and saw something green waving immediately, buddy, he thought the guard had waved his flag.

Gordon began to drop off the luggage, his passengers and the guard all standing on the platform, all of them were very surprised and crossed to make things worse at that moment. Gordon had been detained and brought back. Edward was already late with his train, so he now left first, but the signalman at the crossing was not informed of the change. By mistake, he sent Edward along the main line. Gordon was sent along the branch line and arrived. The next morning, Bill and Ben looked out into the yard. There were no trucks for them. They didn't care that making fun of Gordon would be much more fun.

What is that ass? “Bill,” Ben whispered. It's Gordon. He looks like Gordon. but it can't be that gordon never makes it to the branch lines, he thinks they're vulgar, gordon pretended not to have heard them if he's not gordon, ben said, it's just a pile of old iron that we better take to the scrapyard, no. invoice this lot is not good for scrap metal we will take it to the port and throw it into the sea gordon was alarmed i already left, stop, stop, when suddenly boco arrived, gordon fought him, the most beautiful sight he had ever seen, boco, my dear engine, save me, mouth.

He quickly assessed the situation and threatened to take away the trucks he had brought to Bill and Ben. This made the twins behave immediately. Gordon thought it was wonderful. Bill and Ben were delighted to see the visitors they loved photographed. They then took the party to the china clay works in a break band special everyone had a splendid time and the visitors were very impressed then Edward took the visitors home on the way the weather changed the wind and the rain battered his equipment sanding failed and his firefighters were leading the way throwing sand onto the rails by hand suddenly Edward's wheels slid ferociously with a screeching crunch something broke the team inspected the damage repairs took some time one of your crank pins It broke down Edward said his driver we have removed your side rods now you are like an old fashioned motor, can you take these people home?

They must return tonight. I'll try, sir. Edward huffed and pulled harder, but his wheels kept spinning and he couldn't start the heavy train. The passengers were anxious. The driver, the firefighter and God followed the train. making adjustments between the cars, we have loosened the couplings, Edward, now you can pick up your cars one by one just like you do with the trucks, that will be much easier, Edward said, come on, he huffed and moved forward cautiously, the first car in movement helped get started. the second and the second helped the third I did it I did it snorted Edward steady boy warned his driver well done boy you got them you got them and listened happily to Edward's steady pace as he fought slowly but surely forward at last the tired but undefeated edward vaporized henry was waiting for the visitors with the special train the fat controller pointed angrily at the clock but the excited passengers cheered and thanked edward who liked to run at night the rails were hanging and the signal lights were shining green but a broken car loaded with a layer of lime head sam the farmer had just gone to ask for help percy broke the car into pieces lime flew everywhere he blew quickly to the nearest signal box percy's driver explained what had happened i'll take care of it said the signalman but you better Clean up percy or people will think he's a ghost.

Percy chuckled. Let's pretend I'm a ghost and scare Thomas. That'll teach him to say I'm a silly little engine. Toby promised to help Thomas. for his night train percy had an accident toby cried poor engine said

thomas

annoyance that means i'll be late they've cleared your line but there's something worse with this toby i can't wait all night i just saw something said toby he looked like percy's ghost he said who came here to warn us, hey who cares? Don't be scared Toby I'll take care of you no no no because of the smoke from my chimney chimpanzee gym I'll cut you and blow and break your door oh dear exclaimed Thomas it's getting late oh I had no idea oh I must find Annie and Clarabel it was morning when

thomas

came back where did they ask you toby ah well said thomas i knew you would be sad for Percy and I, uh, I didn't like to meddle, I slept in the good shed and, oh, I'm sorry, I can't stop, I saw a coach a about to train Percy, he gave a ghostly whistle, don't be afraid, Thomas. he laughed it's just me your ugly effervescence is enough to scare anyonesaid Thomas you are ugly in fact I am a green caterpillar with red stripes Thomas continued firmly you crawl like one two I don't who has been late every afternoon this week it's the hay I can't help it said Thomas it's time and the Fat Controller is up to me to keep it I can't if you crawl in the hay until all hours green caterpillar in fact percy got angry he went to collect some hay to take to the port everyone says I'm handsome or at least almost everyone anyway my curves are better than thomas corners thomas says i'm always late he complained i'm never late or at least only a few minutes what's that for thomas he can always catch?

Anyway, time was up, he and his driver decided to head home early, then a problem arose, a box of molasses was knocked over everywhere. Percy, Percy was angry, he was still sticky when he blew, the wind was blowing fiercely, look at that, the driver exclaimed. the wind caught the piled up hay throwing it up and on the track the lion climbed here, he runs towards him, percy, his driver advised him to gain speed, but the hay made the rail slippery and his wheels did not grip over and over Once, he stopped while turning. wheelsy had to wait until the queue cleared before he could start again everyone was waiting impatiently thomas sifted ten minutes late i warned him that the passengers would complain and the fat controller then everyone saw percy they laughed and shouted sorry, I'm here afternoon percy gasped look what came out of the hay tears thomas what's wrong i guess percy is talking about hairy caterpillars puff thomas it's worth being late to have seen you thomas picked up the tree safely but there are big snowdrifts ahead i mustn't be late he thought that the fat controller is trusting on me whistling bravely thomas tried to move but he couldn't there was worse to come poor thomas it was snowy meanwhile the other engines waited and waited they complained that thomas was late the silence said that the controller thomas left work healthy and except but snow has cut the telephone lines we must assume that he is stranded the engines now I felt sorry for Thomas and cold but confident the twin set off to the rescue suddenly they came to a drift that was deeper than the rest silence said Donald I can probably hear something the wind said douglas don't listen donald insisted this way look it's thomas come on poor our engine must be frozen to the frames there when the workers arrive it took some time to decide how to dig out the heavy piles of snow thomas driver and fireman who had Taking refuge in a nearby cabin they joined the rescue at last Thomas and the precious Christmas tree were freed from the snow and then they set off once again to finish their long journey the Fat Controller greeted them warmly as a reward for all their hard work.

You can go and enjoy the carols, quickly now at the big station everything was ready one two three suddenly, as if by magic, the station was flooded with lights ladies, gentlemen and children, I give you three cheers for Thomas, the engine of the tank and all his

friends

who made this occasion possible, Percy was left alone, he didn't care, he kind of liked watching trains and being cheeky with the other engines, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, he called and they got very angry after many maneuvers. Percy was waiting for the signalman. to set the point so he could return to the yard, he was eager to work, but he was being quite careless and not paying attention.

Edward had warned Percy to be careful on the main line. Whistle to the signalman. You're there, but Percy didn't remember. whistle so the busy signalman would forget him percy waited and waited the points were still against him so he couldn't move so he looked along the main line he whistled in horror because he ran straight at him it was gordon with the express oh grown up gordon, get out my way percy opened his eyes gordon had stopped with percy's shock absorbers a few inches from his but percy had started to move i won't stay here i'll run away he blow went straight through the station edward and he was so scared he ran up to gordon hill without stopping after that i was tired but couldn't stop i had no driver to let off steam and apply the brakes i want to stop i want to stop people the man at the signal box saw that percy was in trouble so kindly set the points Percy huffed wearily towards a nice empty siding that ended in a big bank of dirt now he was too tired to care where he was going I want to stop I want to stop I've already stopped he huffed thankfully it doesn't matter Percy said the workers As they dug him up, you'll have a drink and some charcoal and then you will feel better.

At that moment Gordon arrived. Well done Percy, you started so quickly you stopped a nasty accident. Sorry, I was cheeky. Percy said, you were smart to stop. One day after taking the Grand Express, Gordon had returned to the sidings very tired, he was going to sleep when Thomas showed up with his cheeky attitude, wake up, lazy bones, work hard for a change, you can't catch me, and go away. He ran laughing instead of going back to sleep Gordon thought how he could get revenge on Thomas One morning Thomas wouldn't wake up his driver and the firemen couldn't make him light the fire it went out and there wasn't enough steam, it was almost time for the express people. he was waiting but the cars were not ready in the end thomas started oh dear oh dear he yawned and entered the station where he was waiting gordon hurry up you said gordon hurry up you answered thomas gordon started to make his plan yes he said gordon I will and almost before the cars stop moving, Gordon quickly backed away and attached himself to the train, approaching quickly, please, he whistled.

Thomas usually pushed behind the big trains to help them get started, but this time he always uncoupled first. Gordon started so fast that they forgot to uncouple Thomas. Gordon's chance had arrived come on let's go puff gordon to the cars the train was going faster and faster too fast for thomas he wanted to stop but he couldn't pee tweet stop stop hurry up hurry up laugh gordon you can't escape, can you' Don't run away, laugh the trainers. Poor Thomas was going faster than he ever had before he was out of breath and his wheels hurt, but he had to keep going.

I'll never be the same again, he thought sadly, my wheels will be pretty worn out. Finally they stopped at a station. Thomas was disengaged and felt very foolish and exhausted. He then walked to a record player thinking everyone was laughing at him and then ran onto a side road to get out of the way. Well little Thomas laughs Gordon, you know what? Hard work means Henry was ready at five o'clock there was snow and frost the men rushed and shouted loading the trucks with boxes of fish the last door slammed the guard showed his green lamp the flying guard was ready to go let's go , come on, don't be stupid, don't be stupid, Henry huffed at the vans, the van closed and grew, truck trick, truck trick, okay, okay, that's better, that's better, Henry huffed, clouds of smoke and steam erupt from its funnel towards the cold air and fire. the light was shining brightly, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, he gasped, Henry, they were going well, the light got better.

The signal light flashed green as they passed, then a yellow signal appeared ahead, their driver prepared to stop, but the start signal was off, all clear, Henry, come on, they couldn't. I know that the points from the main line to a siding were frozen and the start signal should have been compromised, but the snow had forced it down. A good strain was waiting on the siding to let the flying herring pass and the driver and the firefighters were drinking cocoa in the brake van, the herring must arrive, said the guard, who cares, said the firefighter, this is good coconut, the driver stopped. get up let's go fireman back to our engine they got out just in time henry's driver and the fireman had jumped away before the accident but henry lay dazed and surprised the fat controller came to see him the signal was cut sir said henry cheer up henry it wasn't your fault ice and snow caused the accident I'm sending the crew a good place for sick engines they will give you a new shape and a larger combustion chamber you will feel a different engine and you will no longer need special coal, won't that be nice?

Yes sir, said Henry doubtfully, wake up, Gordon said that his driver is coming, a special train is coming, where to throw him are the cars or trucks, the truck said that his driver, the truck, said that Gordon, Gordon's fire was slow to start, so Edward had to push Gordon towards him. the turning point so that it would face the right direction I won't go I won't go grumble Gordon don't be stupid no Don't be stupid, Edward, Gordon was finally on the turntable, the movement had shaken the fire, it was now burning very well and generating steam .

Gordon was angry and didn't care what he did, he waited until the table was halfway across. I'll show you I'll show you, she hissed, she moved forward slowly to block the table, but she couldn't stop and she slid into a ditch, oh, she hissed, get me out, get me out, there's no hope, said her driver and her fireman, you're trapped, you fool. Great engine, don't you understand that they called the Fat Controller on the phone, so Gordon didn't want to take the special train and ran into a ditch? What are you saying? The special is waiting.

Tell Edward to take it, please, and Gordon. Oh, leave him where he is. We don't have time to bother with him now on the other side of the ditch some little

kids

were chattering great doesn't it sound silly? they'll never get him out they started singing silly old Gordon fell into a ditch fell into a ditch fell into a ditch, silly old Gordon fell into a ditch a whole Monday morning, Gordon stayed in the ditch all day Oh my God, he thought he'd never get out, but that night they lifted Gordon up and made a sleeper path under his wheels to keep him.

They tied strong ropes to the back of the mud and James and Henry, pulling hard, managed to get him to safety that same night, Gordon crawled home, a sadder and wiser engine, early one morning, a big policeman was sitting near the line, Thomas as a policeman. He had been a great friend of the agent who had just retired. He whistled good morning. Thomas expected the new agent to be friendly too, but he was sorry to see that he didn't seem friendly at all. He was red-faced and very angry. Embarrassingly divided I didn't sleep a wink last night I was so quiet and now the engines suddenly come whistling behind me I'm sorry sir sir thomas I just said good morning a policeman pointed to thomas where his cow catcher is he asked me but I didn't Don't catch cows sir, don't be funny, I snapped at the policeman, he looked at Thomas's wheels, they didn't have side plates either and he wrote in his notebook that engines that circulate on public roads must have their wheels covered and a cow catcher in front to protect people and animals. animals from being dragged under the wheels if they stray on the line you haven't done it then it's dangerous rubbish said Thomas's driver we have been here hundreds of times and never had an accident to make it worse the policeman responded he wrote "traffic offender the regular law" in his book thomas snorted sadly the fat controller was having breakfast he was eating jam from a toaster the butler came in excuse me sir they are looking for you on the phone disturb that phone the fat controller I'm sorry dear he said to his wife thomas is in trouble with the police and I must go immediately to the station Thomas's driver told the fat inspector what had happened dangerous for the public in fact we will see that the fat inspector spoke with the policeman but no matter how much he argued with him it was of no use the law is the law he said and we can't change it the fat controller felt exhausted sorry driver said there's no use arguing with the cops we'll have to do that cow hunter thing for thomas i guess it's a long stretch of line it lay further down the road distance there was a bridge.

Gordon thought there was something on the bridge. His driver also thought. Whoa Gordon, he said and turned off the steam. Oh, Gordon said, she's just a cow. He moved slowly towards the bridge, but the cow did not. She didn't chew she had lost her cough and she felt lonely moo she said sadly everyone tried to send her away but she didn't leave henry arrived what is this a cow soon I will fix her go go go moo said the cow henry backed away nervously I don't want to hurt her at the next station the henry's guard told them about the cow and warned the signalman that the lion was blocked that it must be bluebell said the porter his calf is here ready to go to market percy will take her with him on Bluebell of the bridge he was very happy to see her coughing again and the porter took them away without a word, keep it dark, Gordon and Henry whispered to each other, they felt rather foolish, but the story soon spread well, well, he chuckled, Edward, two big engines afraid of a scared cow rubbish said gordon we didn't want the poor thing to get hurt running against us we stopped so as not to excite her you see what I mean my dear edward yes gordon said edward gordon somehow felt thatedward looked very good the new engine arrived what's his name he asked the fat inspector montague sir but normally they call me duck they say i wiggle i don't really do it sir but i like the duck better than montague good duck will be here percy shows the duck around the two engines left together soon they were very busy playing gordon and henry watched a silently doing his job it looks like a kind of simple engine we will have a little fun and give him orders about the smoke rose everywhere percy was angry duck didn't notice Mind you they'll get tired of it soon they tell you to do things percy yes they answered percy well said doctor soon we'll stop the nonsense he whispered something we'll do it later the fat controller was waiting for hot toast for tea at home Suddenly he heard an extraordinary noise, father, he said and hurried into the yard, crouch down and Percy sat quietly on the tips outside the shed refusing to let the engines in Gordon James and Henry were furious stop that noise, Fat Controller's mate, they won't let us. in kiss gordon duck please explain this behavior, very sorry sir, but I am a big western engine, we do our job without problems, but I beg your pardon, sir percy, and I would be happy if you would inform these engines that we only take orders from you, silence . snap the fat controller percy and duck I'm happy with your work today but not with your behavior tonight you've caused a disturbance gordon henry and james laugh about you thundered the fat controller you've been worse you caused the disturbance doc has all the reason this is my railway and I give the orders after percy left duck was left alone to fend for himself he did it very easily today there was a surprise waiting for edward in the yard it was a traction engine hello edward said You're not broken or rusty, what?

What are you doing here? I'm Trevor. They are going to separate me next week. What a shame. Edward said. My driver says I just need a little paint and oil polish to make it look like new, but my teacher says I'm old-fashioned. Edward snorted People say I'm old-fashioned but I don't care The Fat Controller says I'm a useful engine What job did you do? My master sent us from farm to farm. We carried logs of fresh corn and did many other things. work the

kids

loved seeing us trevor closed his eyes remembering oh yes, i like kids edward set off for the station it broke what a shame it broke what a shame i have to help trevor i have to think about all his

friends

who liked engines but strangely none of them would have room to attract the engine at home it's a shame it's a shame he hissed and then beep beep why didn't I think of him before there on the platform was the same person hello edward you look upset what's wrong charlie asked the driver there is a traction engine in the vicar scrapyard they will take it apart next week jem cole says he never drove a better engine, save it sir, chop wood and take the children, we will see, replied the vicar jem cole, he came on saturday, the reverend will come to see you, trevor, maybe he will buy you, do you think he will ask trevor, hopefully?

He will do it when he has lit your fire and the vicar has cleaned you and his two children arrived that night Trevor had not felt this happy for months he was laughing around the yard show your steps Trevor said the vicar later he left the office smiling, he got cheap, real cheap, you hear trevor cried, jen, the reverend saved you and you live in the vicarage now, peep, peep, whistle, trevor now trevor's house is in victoria georgian and he sees edward every days. Daisy was hard to please. she shuddered at the engine shed this smells terribly i have a lot of suspension and any smelly smell is bad for my turns then they tested the carriage this is better said daisy but whatever that trash is the trash turned out to be annie Clarabel and Henrietta who were Los More offended, we won't stay here to be insulted, they made Percy and Toby angry, they had to take them away and spend half the night calming their herd feelings.

The engines woke up the next morning feeling exhausted. Daisy, on the other hand, was feeling bright and cheerful, she played as I left the yard and returned to the station, look at me, she paired up with the passengers. I am the latest diesel with great suspension and updated. You don't want old, bumpy Thomas, Annie and Clarabel. Now the passengers waited for Daisy to start. but she didn't do it, she saw that a milk fan was about to attach to her and she became very indignant: do they expect me to pull it? That surely said her driver can pull a van, I won't, Daisy Percy said, she can do it, he loves. playing with the trucks she started carrying her shoulders violently nonsense her driver said come on now go back daisy staggered back she was so angry that a fuse blew she told you she told you and stopped everyone argued with her but it was no use these are orders from the installer said What is my installer?

He is a very nice man. He comes every week and he examines me carefully. Daisy. He says never, ever pull. You have a lot of elasticity and pulling is bad for your turns. This is how it ends. Daisy. One day, Toby took Henrietta to the station where Percy was sulking. Hi, Percy, I see Daisy left the milk again. I'll have to make a special trip with her. I guess anyone would think I had nothing to do. Grumble, Percy. I'll tell you what. which replied Toby I'll have the milk you bring my The trucks, their drivers and the station master agreed that Percy had never been to the quarry before he started ordering the trucks to hurry up.

He said the trucks were complaining to each other. This is Toby's place. Percy has no right to stick his funnel in here and push us around. they whispered and passed the word hey percy pay percy come blow percy no nonsense we'll give him nonsense laugh the cars but they followed so silently that percy thought they were under control suddenly they saw one more notice Ahead, all the trains stopped to fix. down brakes brakes guard please but before he could check them the truck moved forward and they shouted help help whistle percy the man on duty at the intersection rushed to warn the traffic with his red flag but it was too late to change percy to the fugitive signing Frantically trying to hold on to the rails, Percy slid into the yard, beep, beep, look, the brake van was in pieces.

Percy's driver and the fireman had jumped away, but Percy was left stranded. The next day, the Fat Controller arrived, Toby and Daisy had helped clear the rubble, but Percy stayed. your truck position now we should try it, said the fat controller, to run the branch line with toby and a diesel, you have put us in an awkward situation, im sorry sir, replied percy, you can stay there until we are ready, maybe that I taught him to be careful with trucks. He sighed. The trucks groaned under their wheels. He understood awkward situations very well. Bill and Ben are twins with a tank engine.

Each has four wheels. A small chimney and dome and a small squat cabin. Their trucks are full. of china clay needed for pottery painting paper and many other things the twins now keep busy pulling trucks for the engines on the main line and for the ships in the harbor one morning they fixed some trucks and went for more They came back to find everyone gone the twins were very surprised their drivers examined an oil stain which is diesel they said it's a wattle bill adizel I think he answered ben there is a notice about them in our shed coughs and sneezes spread disease yesterday You had a cough in your smoke box.

It's your fault the illness came. It's not that you stop arguing. You two laugh. Your drivers, we're going to rescue our trucks. Bill and Ben were horrified, but the disease will make us disappear like the trucks. He won't do magic for us. Their drivers responded. We are more likely to do so. do magic on him, listen, he doesn't know you're twins, so we'll take your names and numbers, and then this is what we'll do. The twins, puffing loudly, set out on their journey to find the diesel they were hoping to play tricks on them. When he sneaked into the yard, they found the diesel in a siding with the trucks missing behind Ben hid, but Bill boldly went next to the locked diesel, do you mind?

Yes, Bill said, I want my trucks, please, these are mine, he said diesel go away. bill pretended to be scared you're a big bully he groaned you'll regret it he ran back and hid behind the trucks on the other side ben now the truck thief came forward this man he ran away too bill took his place you
