-Hero of the Railway.

-It was summertime on Sodor Island.

-The sky was bright blue,

-the fields were full of flowers...

-..and the birds sang sweetly.

-Tomos was next to the water tower

-and felt very happy.

-Suddenly, there was

-a whish-whoosh and a click-clack.

-A streak of silver

-sped down the track.

-Fire and brimstone. What was that?

-Tomos's friends were stunned by the

-noise travelling around the island.

-Blistering boilers.

-Bursting buffers!

-Watch my bright paint.

-Trembling trucks. What was that?

-Slow down!

-Tricky tracks!

-Later that day, Tomos and his

-friends were in the station.

-They were very confused.

-It was huge.

-It was silver.

-It was very fast.

-It could only be...

-.Spencer.

-Hello, Sodor. You'll never believe

-it. I'm here for the summer.

-Why?

-Why?

-

-I have important work to do.

-The Duke and Duchess of Boxford

-are building a summerhouse.

-It must be ready for their holiday.

-I'm very busy. No time to chat.

-Spencer steamed away.

-Dust and dirt! Having Spencer

-on Sodor for one day is bad enough.

-For the whole of the summer?

-It's terrible.

-That afternoon, Tomos and Persi

-huffed and puffed up the hill.

-Just then,

-Spencer passed them noisily.

-If you puff harder,

-you may reach the top!

-Blistering boilers!

-Spencer caught up with Gordon.

-Out of my way, snail!

-Oh, the indignity!

-Tobi puffed slowly to the junction.

-Spencer arrived in a blaze of noise.

-You're too old

-to be an efficient engine, Tobi.

-Tobi gulped.

-He was so wound up,

-he didn't notice the green light.

-Edward and Jems

-were puffing along quietly.

-Spencer slowed down.

-Dear, oh, dear.

-You need two engines

-to pull one truck?

-I'm pulling five.

-Spencer thundered away.

-Jems was so annoyed,

-he couldn't puff at all.

-That night, the only topic

-of discussion was Spencer.

-He told Tobi he was too old.

-He's taken over my express line.

-He'll never have a shiny engine.

-He's so rude.

-Spencer scares everyone.

-The following day,

-Tomos was in the docks.

-He had a flat-bed truck

-of heavy equipment to pull.

-Spencer was also there.

-He was being hooked up to

-five trucks of building equipment.

-Dear, oh, dear, Tomos.

-Thanks goodness the Duke and Duchess

-don't have a toy engine like you.

-The summerhouse

-would never be built.

-What do you mean?

-Simply, Tomos,

-you can't haul heavy loads.

-Tomos was annoyed,

-just like the other engines.

-Spencer was too cheeky by far.

-Oh, yes, I can. I can pull

-heavy loads as well as you.

-Yes, he can. Heavier still.

-Tomos is no toy.

-He's a very efficient engine.

-He's very strong.

-None of the engines

-on Sodor Island worried Spencer.

-Suddenly, he had an idea.

-OK, Tomos, I'll see you in

-the coupling shed at dawn tomorrow.

-We can have a strength competition.

-We'll pull a heavy load each...

-..and we'll see who can pull

-the heaviest load the furthest.

-Spencer slipped away from the docks.

-Tomos wasn't a happy engine.

-Burst my buffers! I can't do this.

-Spencer's bound to win.

-The engines knew Tomos was worried.

-You're the best engine

-on Sodor Island.

-You can show Spencer that we're all

-more special than him.

-I know,

-because you're my best friend.

-Tomos looked at Persi,

-his best friend.

-Persi trusted Tomos.

-I'll see Spencer

-at the crack of dawn.

-I'll win.

-Early the next day,

-at the break of dawn...

-..Tomos and his friends

-were waiting for Spencer to arrive.

-They saw a silver streak

-thundering in the distance.

-It was Spencer.

-Tomos looked worried.

-I can't do this.

-Of course you can. You always

-tell us we can do anything.

-You can do anything, too.

-The tracks were cleared

-for Tomos and Spencer.

-Both were hooked up

-to their heavy loads.

-Edward puffed up.

-Both of you will follow

-a different track around the island.

-You can only stop

-for coal and water.

-Edward whistled long and loudly.

-The competition had begun.

-Spencer and Tomos

-pumped every piston.

-Tomos huffed and puffed away.

-I'll do my best

-and pump as hard as I can.

-I'll show Spencer

-that I'm the strongest.

-Spencer smiled and away he went.

-I'll show Tomos

-who's strong and who's weak.

-All the way back,

-I'll hear him puff and creak.

-All the other engines

-looked worried.

-Then they whistled long and loudly.

-Good luck, Tomos.

-Tomos and Spencer puffed along

-the tracks, around the island.

-They sped through the woods

-and dragged up the hills.

-Spencer smiled the whole way.

-Tomos spluttered

-and chugged the same time.

-What a silly engine.

-Tomos will never learn.

-You can do whatever you want.

-I want to win!

-Tomos puffed slowly

-up the steep hill.

-He spluttered and chugged painfully.

-Finally, he reached the summit.

-Hooray! I did it.

-Then the trouble began.

-Tomos heard a strange noise.

-He gulped.

-Fire and brimstone.

-The brakes have broken.

-Tomos's wheels shook and shuddered.

-He puffed faster and faster

-down the hill.

-Oh, no. Oh, help!

-He thundered down one hill

-and chugged up the next.

-Help! I can't stop.

-The heavy trucks pushed Tomos

-onwards and onwards...

-..through the junction

-where Spencer was waiting.

-He crashed into the trucks

-laden with potatoes.

-The potatoes flew everywhere

-but Tomos thundered on.

-He collided with trucks

-laden with jam.

-The jam flew everywhere

-and landed on Tomos.

-On he went.

-He sped over an old rickety track.

-He saw a large hedge ahead.

-Trembling trucks. I can't stop.

-He skidded and sped

-through the hedge.

-Then he came to a halt.

-Dirt and dust.

-That was frightening.

-Tomos looked around.

-Everything was quiet and calm.

-Spencer will be back

-in the coupling yard by now.

-He'll be showing off

-after winning the contest.

-Persi, my best friend,

-will be worried.

-I have no idea where I am.

-Everywhere was quiet and calm.

-Tomos didn't know what to do.

-Then, he heard a voice.

-Hello?

-Tomos looked around.

-He couldn't see anyone.

-He stood still and held his breath.

-Hello.

-He looked around once more.

-He couldn't see anyone.

-The voice is coming from the bushes.

-The voice is coming from the bushes.

-

-Tomos puffed slowly...

-..into the bushes.

-The branches broke under his wheels.

-He gulped.

-He opened his eyes in awe.

-On the other side of the bushes,

-he saw an old engine.

-It was broken up

-and covered in rust.

-Tomos was so scared,

-he was speechless.

-Then, the old engine smiled.

-It was a smile

-that made the old engine friendly.

-It made Tomos feel less frightened.

-Hello. Pity your brakes failed.

-That always happens

-when you're on a hill.

-The old engine smiled again.

-Tomos wanted to smile

-but he was too frightened.

-Should he talk? Should he whistle

-for help or puff backwards quickly?

-Tomos stood like a statue.

-He couldn't stop staring

-at the incredible engine.

-Hello. I'm Tomos.

-Ah. I'm Hiro.

-Tomos wasn't sure what to say.

-He'd never seen such an old

-and strange engine as Hiro.

-Why are you here?

-Where did you come from?

-That's a long story.

-Do you like stories, Tomos?

-Yes. All the little engines

-tell me their stories.

-Well, I hope you enjoy mine.

-I came here many years ago

-from another island.

-I was one of Sodor Island's

-first steam engines.

-Tomos was stunned.

-Where is your island?

-My island is very far away.

-There are mountains,

-snow and a sea there.

-There are many railways.

-I was the strongest engine there.

-I was hero of the railway.

-How did you end up in Sodor?

-I came over on a large ship.

-It was a long journey

-across the oceans.

-When I arrived at the docks,

-it was nothing like my old home.

-What was Sodor like back then?

-It was a very quiet place.

-I was the only engine on the island.

-They called me

-hero of the railway here, too.

-I was very happy.

-What happened?

-Things started to break.

-There were no spare parts.

-I was moved to a siding

-to wait for spare parts...

-..to arrive from my island.

-I've been waiting and waiting.

-I don't think I'll ever see

-those spare parts.

-Tomos's eyes opened wide.

-Don't you miss your home?

-Yes, indeed.

-I miss being hero of the railway.

-Tomos looked at his sad new friend.

-He felt sorry for Hiro.

-I know,

-I'll find the Fat Controller.

-He runs the railway now.

-He'll know how to help you.

-No, no, please don't do that.

-Don't tell the Fat Controller.

-Tomos was surprised.

-Why not?

-I'm an old engine no one can fix.

-I know what happens to an old engine

-that's not efficient.

-I'll get broken up

-and sent to the smelting works.

-That's not fair. It's not right.

-That will never happen to you.

-Tomos could see that his new friend,

-once hero of the railway...

-..was now old, lonely and scared.

-Tomos made a decision.

-I'll take care of you, Hiro.

-I won't tell him until you're fixed.

-You're safe with me. I'm sure

-I can find some spare parts.

-I promise to make you

-an efficient engine again.

-Then you'll be hero of the railway

-again.

-Hiro smiled the widest smile

-he'd smiled for some time.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-Thank you for looking after me.

-Tomos puffed away proudly.

-Later, Tomos was having

-his brakes fixed in the steam works.

-Tomos enjoyed visiting

-the steam works.

-It was a busy place

-with plenty of comings and goings.

-That's where Victor was working.

-Tomos and Victor were good friends.

-Tomos, old friend, why were you

-in the middle of nowhere...

-..pulling seven heavy trucks?

-What a silly thing to do.

-Next time Spencer challenges you,

-do me a favour.

-Ignore him.

-OK, Victor.

-Tomos had forgotten everything

-about the race with Spencer.

-He was so excited after meeting

-Hiro. He almost told Victor.

-But he couldn't,

-in case someone overheard him...

-..and told the Fat Controller.

-Broken down, Tomos? Seven trucks

-are evidently too heavy for you.

-Good morning, Spencer. Well done.

-Spencer looked surprised.

-He didn't expect Tomos

-to be so nice.

-What did you say?

-I said good morning and well done.

-Yes...

-Don't you have work to do? Or are

-you going to stand there chatting?

-You're taking up too much room.

-Spencer was surprised again.

-No one speaks to me like that.

-He slipped away

-with an annoyed look on his face.

-No one speaks to me like that.

-He's all steam and bossy boilers!

-Tomos laughed. He liked Victor.

-OK, old friend. Everything's OK.

-Keep away from bossy boots.

-The Fat Controller wants you

-to head for the rural line.

-Thanks, Victor.

-Sorry, boss!

-Kevin! What are you doing?

-How many times do I have

-to tell you? Don't drop things.

-Put them down slowly.

-Slowly does it. Slowly does it.

-OK, boss. Sorry, boss. I was trying

-my best. It slipped, boss.

-Behind Kevin,

-Tomos saw something interesting.

-A wagon

-with an old piston cylinder on it.

-Hiro can have that. I wonder

-if Victor will give it to me?

-Tomos puffed away happily.

-That afternoon,

-Tomos was busy on the rural line.

-He wanted to finish

-his work quickly.

-Tell me about the contest, Tomos.

-Sorry, Persi, I can't wait.

-I have so much to do today.

-I'll tell you later.

-Persi was disappointed.

-Cheerio, Tomos.

-Later that afternoon, Tomos

-puffed back to the steam works.

-He was glad to see

-it was quiet there.

-What will happen

-to that old cylinder?

-It's rubbish.

-It's taking up too much room.

-I'll take it away.

-Aren't you too busy?

-It won't be a problem.

-I can help you.

-No, thanks, Kevin.

-Tomos was hooked up to the truck.

-He puffed away happily

-along the track towards Hiro.

-Then he heard the sound of wheels

-and a fast engine behind him.

-It's Spencer.

-I don't want him to find out

-what I'm doing with the cylinder.

-Tomos hissed and puffed

-as fast as he could to the siding.

-He was hot and boiling

-as he came to a stop.

-Tall trees hid Tomos

-from the express line.

-Spencer thundered closer and closer

-and then sped by.

-Then, Spencer stopped.

-He reversed.

-He was the other side of the trees,

-opposite Tomos.

-Tomos held his breath.

-Blistering boilers. That was close.

-Hiro was glad to see Tomos.

-The workers unloaded

-the old cylinder from the truck.

-Tomorrow,

-I'll be back to start the work.

-I have to return to the shed

-or they'll be wondering where I am.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-Tomos smiled as he puffed away

-quickly towards the sheds.

-He puffed around the bend

-and then he gulped.

-Dust and dirt.

-The Duke and Duchess's summerhouse.

-It's so close

-to Hiro's hiding place.

-Spencer will be here every day.

-If he finds out about Hiro

-and tells the Fat Controller...

-..Hiro will be crushed

-into little pieces.

-I have to be very careful.

-That night, Tomos told his friends

-about the contest with Spencer.

-He also wanted to tell them about

-Hiro but the Fat Controller arrived.

-Tomorrow, you'll all be very busy.

-Your work will start

-early in the morning.

-Tomos, no puffing around the island

-pulling heavy trucks...

-..or anything silly like that!

-You have to be engines that are

-ready for action. Not broken ones.

-OK, sir.

-Tomos didn't mention Hiro

-to his friends.

-The Fat Controller said -

-no broken engines.

-The following morning,

-Tomos had a busy morning.

-He wasn't happy. He wanted to be

-with his friend, Hiro.

-Persi puffed into sight.

-You look worried, Tomos.

-What's wrong?

-Tomos looked at his best friend.

-He always told Persi everything.

-I've found the oldest engine

-on Sodor Island.

-His name is Hiro.

-Blistering boilers. Where?

-I'll show you later, I promise.

-We have to look after him.

-Can you help me?

-Of course, Tomos. What can I do?

-Take this truck of farming equipment

-to Mr McCall.

-What will I do with the mail trucks?

-Leave them somewhere safe.

-Somewhere out of sight.

-You can deliver them later.

-I have to meet up with Hiro.

-Persi was excited.

-He was so glad to help Tomos.

-Persi puffed for a long time...

-..on a track that was unfamiliar

-to him.

-He was looking for somewhere

-to hide his mail trucks.

-I must find a good place to hide.

-When I return,

-the trucks will be there.

-The perfect place

-to hide the trucks.

-No one will find them here.

-Tomos puffed happily to the place

-where Hiro was hiding.

-He was thinking so much

-about helping Hiro...

-..he didn't notice Spencer

-creeping up behind him.

-What are you doing here? You're

-very far from your rural line.

-I'm on my way to the docks.

-Tomos puffed away from Spencer

-and the summerhouse very quickly.

-Something's going on.

-Something very strange indeed.

-Tomos didn't dare puff

-towards Hiro until much later.

-I didn't think you were coming.

-I promised Hiro.

-I won't disappoint you.

-The workers grabbed their bags...

-..and started working.

-Soon,

-Hiro's piston cylinder was fixed.

-I'll return with more spare parts.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-Don't get into any trouble.

-Remember, I'm an old engine.

-I'll make you as good as new.

-Cheerio, Hiro.

-Tomos huffed and hissed home

-as quickly as he could.

-He was late.

-He had to pass the summerhouse.

-Tomos, what are you up to?

-Tomos stayed silent.

-He puffed away,

-with Spencer hot on his heels.

-He puffed quickly and then he saw

-Persi by the water tower.

-Persi was sad.

-I blew a valve

-pulling that heavy load.

-Tomos felt sorry for his friend.

-Spencer had been following Tomos

-and he ground to a halt.

-Dear, oh, dear, Persi. Let

-a stronger engine pull a heavy load.

-Spencer puffed away.

-I'm sorry, Persi. You were

-helping me. You can't move now.

-I'm worried.

-I haven't delivered the mail.

-The Fat Controller will be angry.

-Don't worry, Persi.

-I'll help you tomorrow.

-I'll push you to the steam works.

-Victor will fix you.

-On the way to the steam works,

-they had so much fun...

-..talking about Hiro.

-The steam works was quiet.

-Victor was surprised

-to see Tomos and Persi.

-Fire and brimstone.

-What happened, my friend?

-I asked Persi to deliver my load.

-He blew his valve.

-Why didn't you pull it?

-Um, um... I was...

-Because he... Oh!

-Oh, Kevin, easy does it.

-Easy does it.

-Sorry, it slipped off the...

-Hook! I know.

-Tomos saw some old engine parts.

-That's what Hiro needed.

-He had to tell Victor about Hiro.

-Victor, I need your help.

-We need your help.

-I'm always ready to help.

-What do you need?

-Tomos told Victor about Hiro.

-Victor was amazed.

-Looking after another engine

-is very important...

-..especially an old engine.

-Tell the Fat Controller.

-We can't. Hiro's so old.

-The Fat Controller might

-take him away to be crushed.

-If we made Hiro a more

-efficient engine, he might not.

-Oh, OK. I understand.

-Whatever I put in this corner,

-you can take it.

-Tomos and Persi were very happy.

-Thank you, Victor.

-OK, Persi. I'll fix you.

-That night,

-Tomos puffed into the sheds.

-The Fat Controller was there.

-He was very annoyed.

-I understand that Persi

-was pulling your load today.

-Now, Persi's mail trucks

-have disappeared.

-Tomos felt terrible.

-I'm sorry, sir.

-I don't know where Persi's trucks

-ended up. I'll help search for them.

-That's precisely what you'll do.

-Do you understand?!

-The Fat Controller's voice

-thundered around the area.

-Tomos's friends stared at him.

-They knew he was up to something.

-Tomos, is everything OK?

-Tomos puffed unhappily.

-He needed his friends' help.

-I have something very important

-to tell you.

-As the stars twinkled in the sky...

-..Tomos told them about Hiro.

-Tomos's friends

-had never heard such a story.

-The following morning,

-Tomos was a very happy engine.

-He puffed and hissed,

-hauled and shunted.

-He didn't take a break at all.

-Spencer watched his every move

-carefully.

-He didn't work on

-the Duke and Duchess's summerhouse.

-Spencer was too busy

-watching Tomos to see Gordon...

-..hauling a truck

-full of engine parts for Hiro.

-Tomos saw Gordon. Gordon saw Tomos.

-They both smiled.

-Tomos had been working hard all day.

-He was on his way

-to the steam works.

-Gordon steamed towards him

-smiling from buffer to buffer.

-Gordon was also glad to help Hiro.

-The job has been completed.

-I must hurry. I can't be late.

-Well done, Gordon.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-The workers were very busy

-in the steam works.

-Persi was almost ready to leave.

-He smiled at Tomos.

-Then, the Fat Controller arrived.

-He was very angry.

-Tomos and Persi, the mail trucks are

-still missing. You must find them.

-OK, sir.

-OK, sir.

-

-Of course, sir.

-Victor could see

-that Tomos and Persi were worried.

-Persi, you're fine now.

-Lift his spirits, Tomos.

-I know how to do that.

-Follow me, Persi.

-This afternoon,

-I'll leave something for you.

-Thank you, Victor.

-Thank you, Victor.

-

-Thank you, Victor.

-Tomos and Persi

-puffed to Hiro's hiding place.

-Persi met Hiro for the first time.

-He gulped.

-Hiro, this is Persi, my best friend.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-

-Hello, Persi.

-You have a very special best friend.

-You must also be very special.

-Do you have best friends?

-Yes indeed. At home.

-Do you miss them?

-Do you miss them?

-

-Yes.

-That's very sad.

-Don't be sad.

-Look at my new funnel.

-Gordon brought it to me.

-When Gordon smiles,

-his face changes.

-He's very interesting.

-Tomos and Persi smiled

-when they heard this.

-Goodnight, Hiro.

-Goodnight, Hiro.

-

-Goodnight, my friends.

-Until tomorrow.

-On their way home, Persi and Tomos

-puffed past the summerhouse.

-Their wheels were squeaking

-and their boilers were bristling.

-They didn't see Spencer

-but Spencer saw them.

-He was lurking in the shadows.

-After the two had passed,

-he slid slowly out of the siding.

-I must find out

-what that engine is doing.

-It's high time Spencer

-did some research.

-That morning, Tomos and Persi puffed

-away to look for the mail trucks.

-Don't you remember

-where you left them?

-No.

-Think long and hard, Persi.

-I am. I can only think about Hiro.

-Emili was busy doing Tomos's work

-on the rural line.

-Spencer was watching her.

-She didn't take any notice of him.

-Why is Tomos

-puffing around the summerhouse?

-I don't know. He's a busy engine.

-He puffs across this island.

-This annoyed Spencer.

-Why are you working

-on Tomos's rural line?

-Because, as I said,

-Tomos is a busy engine.

-Where is he busy?

-You're a large, strong engine,

-Spencer. Go and look for yourself.

-Spencer didn't like hearing this.

-He stared at Emili.

-He stared so long...

-..he didn't see Tomos and Persi

-puffing along the railway bridge.

-He didn't see Edward puffing by...

-..with a truck

-laden with engine parts for Hiro.

-That night, Tomos and Persi

-puffed to Hiro's hiding place.

-Look at me now.

-Hiro's boiler was ready.

-Hiro was a combination of colours

-by now.

-Tomos and Persi were very happy.

-You look great.

-Hooray!

-Thank you. I'm worried about you.

-That silver engine

-was snooping around last night.

-Keep away for a while.

-Your friends are looking after me.

-Today, Edward was wise.

-Tomorrow, Jems will be here.

-Jems isn't wise.

-He's a bossy boiler.

-HE LAUGHS

-For the first time...

-..Tomos and Persi

-heard Hiro laughing.

-He laughed the heartiest laugh

-of all.

-The following morning, Tomos and

-Persi searched for the mail trucks.

-They didn't see the trucks

-but they did see Spencer.

-Mavis was happy to see Spencer.

-Spencer, what an honour.

-Can I give you a tour of the quarry?

-Tomos and Persi

-thought this was very funny.

-Spencer didn't.

-While he was reversing,

-he didn't see Jems puffing by...

-..pulling a truck of engine parts.

-Mavis and Spencer

-went under the slate drop.

-Spencer puffed too quickly

-and then too slowly.

-Then he went back too far.

-Dust and slate

-filled his chimney and boiler.

-Later, Tomos and Persi

-were picking up coal.

-Emili puffed by.

-She had a truck of parts for Hiro.

-She was very excited.

-Good luck, Emili.

-Tomos saw Spencer. Persi gulped.

-Fire and brimstone.

-Spencer was being pulled by Edward

-and shunted by Henri.

-The slate dust

-had filled his chimney.

-Spencer had to visit

-the steam works.

-Now, Tomos and Spencer

-could visit Hiro without fear.

-They were so happy.

-Hiro was looking more and more

-like an efficient engine.

-Tomos, I have to be

-a very, very efficient engine...

-..before the Fat Controller

-can see me.

-You will be, don't worry.

-I'll make sure of that.

-Listen, Spencer,

-that long face won't help us work.

-You'll be fine tomorrow.

-Come on, smile.

-Just to show me you can.

-Tomos and Persi puffed in.

-Kevin!

-Victor noticed that Spencer'd closed

-his eyes because of the noise.

-Victor winked at Tomos.

-No problems, Kevin.

-That hook is slippery. You're doing

-a good job, Kevin. Carry on.

-Oh, ooh!

-Less noise.

-Tomos puffed carefully

-away from Spencer.

-Off we went to meet Hiro,

-with all the train parts.

-Hiro, what do you think about

-when you're alone?

-My home.

-Since I've spoken about it

-with you and your friends...

-..I've missed it more and more.

-Tomos understood how hard it was

-for Hiro to be far from home.

-He wanted to lift his spirits.

-Tomorrow, Persi will go

-to the other side of the island...

-..to fetch the final part.

-You won't have to be lonely then.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-You understand me completely.

-That night, the Fat Controller

-was waiting for Tomos in the sheds.

-He was very angry.

-Tomos, the mail trucks

-are still missing.

-Spencer's in the steam works...

-..the building materials

-are still in the docks...

-..and you're not working

-on the rural line.

-What's going on?

-I'm sorry, sir. I'll make sure

-everything is sorted out tomorrow.

-Tomorrow then, Tomos.

-Don't worry, Tomos.

-Tomorrow, Persi will pick up

-Hiro's final part.

-We'll all look after Hiro.

-Tomorrow,

-everything will be alright.

-Don't worry.

-Thank you.

-As dawn broke over Sodor Island...

-..Spencer was back on the tracks.

-Today, I will discover

-what Tomos the trickster is doing.

-Spencer was searching for clues.

-He searched behind the bushes.

-He steamed down the siding.

-He puffed closer and closer

-to Hiro's hiding place.

-Suddenly...

-Suddenly...

-

-HOOTER

-..Spencer whistled long and loudly.

-What's this, I wonder?

-Jems and Tobi heard Spencer

-and rushed out.

-Blistering boilers.

-I've found Persi's mail trucks.

-This is part

-of trickster Tomos's trickery.

-Suddenly, Jems and Tobi rushed out.

-Spencer had puffed

-too close to Hiro.

-Jems whistled

-and Tobi rung his bell.

-Both of them thundered after Spencer

-along the tracks, away from Hiro.

-The three engines

-raced to the junction.

-Tomos puffed towards Spencer.

-Spencer couldn't move.

-He couldn't puff

-forwards or backwards.

-He had Persi's mail trucks.

-Spencer, why did you take

-Persi's mail trucks?

-You've caused confusion and delays.

-I didn't...

-I didn't...

-

-I'm not interested in excuses.

-Go and look for Persi

-and give him his mail trucks back.

-Right away.

-I'll get my revenge on Tomos.

-That afternoon,

-Hiro was waiting for Tomos.

-He was so excited.

-His steam swirled everywhere.

-Persi will be here soon

-with the final part.

-You'll need it

-to produce more steam.

-I wonder if the Fat Controller

-has seen any photos of me.

-Of course he has. He'll be glad

-to have you as part of the team.

-I'm so happy.

-I've waited for this

-for a long time.

-HOOTER

-They could hear the sound

-of a loud hooter.

-The hooter they didn't want to hear.

-It's Spencer.

-He's found us. Help, Tomos.

-He'll make sure I get sent

-to the smelting works.

-No, he won't, you're almost ready.

-You can puff away from him.

-Follow me.

-Hiro coughed, puffed and hissed.

-He was on the track.

-He followed Tomos,

-away from Spencer.

-Hiro steamed down the track, hissing

-and puffing, every piston pumping.

-His boiler was blistering.

-Well done, Hiro.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-Then the trouble began.

-Spencer caught up with Tomos.

-Here you are, Tomos.

-Spencer?

-Tomos's wheels spun like a windmill.

-Hiro hissed as quickly as he could.

-He wanted to move away from Spencer.

-Spencer saw Hiro and gulped.

-He'd never seen an engine

-as strange as Hiro before.

-Who are you?

-Hiro!

-Tomos!

-That engine can't puff properly.

-Hiro stared to creak,

-shake and shudder.

-He coughed and spluttered.

-Hiro was worried.

-Without the final part,

-he could only cough and shake.

-Hiro's lamp hit Spencer.

-Hiro started to shake and shudder.

-Parts of him fell away on the track.

-No!

-Carry on, Hiro.

-Tomos, help me!

-The more Hiro hissed,

-the more he shook.

-Hold on, Hiro.

-More parts shook loose.

-Tomos!

-Hold on.

-He can't.

-Hiro knew Spencer was right.

-The hero of the railway

-was falling to pieces.

-Hiro could puff no more.

-This is what you've been doing?

-Fixing scrap

-that's only fit to smelt?

-That's the only place

-for this engine.

-The Fat Controller

-will make sure of that.

-Tomos felt terrible.

-After working so hard,

-he'd failed to look after Hiro.

-How can I stop Hiro

-ending up in the smelting works?

-Tomos heard another whistle.

-It was Gordon and the express train.

-Let's have a race back

-to the station, Spencer the snail.

-I'll win.

-Spencer watched Gordon

-thundering away.

-Oh, no, you won't. I'll win.

-Spencer steamed after Gordon.

-His pistons pumped

-and his wheels spun.

-Spencer didn't notice Tomos

-eyeing up another line.

-Don't worry, Hiro.

-We'll hide you in here.

-Everything will be OK.

-Hiro looked sadder than ever.

-Gordon rushed to the station

-ahead of Spencer.

-Spencer couldn't puff with Persi's

-mail trucks shaking behind him.

-I won. I told you so.

-Before Spencer could answer,

-the carriage door opened...

-..and the Duke and Duchess

-stepped out.

-They were angry.

-Trembling trucks.

-Spencer, you've disappointed us.

-You were meant to be in charge

-of the summerhouse.

-The house isn't ready.

-The Fat Controller told us

-that you've spent the whole time...

-..watching Tomos.

-..watching Tomos.

-

-And taking mail trucks.

-You said you were returning them

-to Persi.

-You haven't.

-Spencer's confidence was in pieces.

-There's an old engine,

-a pile of scrap...

-..I was racing after it.

-To be honest, you should...

-Spencer, leave it.

-Racing after a pile of scrap,

-really!

-We'll have to send you back

-to the mainland.

-You're not fit to work here.

-Can I help Spencer with

-the summerhouse, if you please?

-Together,

-I'm sure we can finish it in time.

-The Duke and Duchess were thrilled.

-Thank you, Tomos. You're very kind.

-Can you keep an eye on Spencer?

-I don't think he's feeling too well.

-Spencer steamed away

-in shame and disgrace.

-Later that afternoon,

-Tomos puffed to Hiro.

-Hiro was very sad.

-You tried your best, Tomos.

-I now know that the smelting works

-is the only place for me.

-No. No indeed.

-I won't let that happen.

-I promise. Keep the faith.

-Tomos puffed sadly

-back to the sheds.

-All the engines

-were worried about Hiro.

-They were annoyed with Spencer.

-I'm sorry for leaving

-the mail trucks so close to Hiro.

-I didn't know he was there.

-I just saw a hiding place for them.

-Don't worry, Persi.

-We all did our best.

-What are we going to do now?

-What are we going to do now?

-

-I'll tell the Fat Controller.

-Why?

-We failed to fix Hiro on our own.

-So, we need his help.

-First, I'm going to finish

-the summerhouse with Spencer.

-Then, the Fat Controller

-will think I'm an efficient engine.

-He's bound to help.

-He's bound to help.

-

-All the engines fell silent.

-They knew Tomos was right

-but they were worried about Hiro.

-He was their friend.

-They wanted to look after him.

-Since I'll be busy,

-can you visit Hiro?

-Of course we will.

-All the engines whistled.

-They were a team, for Hiro.

-Over the next few days, Tomos and

-Spencer worked hard on the house.

-Tomos didn't let Spencer

-out of his sight.

-Tomos's friends

-went to look after Hiro.

-He was never alone for long.

-He told Emili, Gordon and Persi

-stories about his home.

-He listened to Edward's wise words.

-He was surprised to learn

-that Henri needed special coal.

-He admired Jems's red paint.

-He thought Tobi was very special.

-He'd never seen anyone like Tobi.

-The Duke and Duchess

-visited the summerhouse.

-It was almost finished.

-They were thrilled.

-Spencer smiled and told them

-what had been happening.

-Tomos saw an opportunity

-to puff quietly away to visit Hiro.

-Hiro was glad to see Tomos.

-Hello, Tomos, my best friend.

-Hello, Hiro.

-Tomos sensed that Hiro was sad.

-Hiro, I won't let them scrap you,

-believe you me.

-Tonight, I'll sort everything out.

-Tomos puffed back

-to the summerhouse.

-He arrived just as

-the Duke and Duchess were leaving.

-Thank you, Tomos.

-Without you, Spencer would never

-have finished in time.

-I have to go now.

-I'm meeting the Fat Controller.

-Spencer grimaced.

-You're going to tell the Fat

-Controller about the scrap engine.

-I'll get there first

-to make sure your plan fails.

-The smelting works

-is the only place for him.

-Spencer hissed and puffed

-and click clacked after Tomos.

-Tomos could hear Spencer's wheels

-spinning behind him.

-I'll puff the hardest,

-hiss the fastest - I can do this.

-It was a race to remember.

-Tomos steamed over bridges

-and whistled through tunnels.

-He sped past the junctions

-and raced around the corners.

-Spencer thundered and roared

-but he couldn't pass Tomos.

-Tomos puffed ahead at the junction.

-Then he turned suddenly to the side.

-Spencer thundered on.

-Then he stopped.

-He reversed to the junction.

-He raced after Tomos

-along the narrow track.

-The old track had been laid

-over wet marshland.

-Tomos knew this was

-the best way back to the station.

-Tomos puffed and Spencer hissed.

-Spencer was catching up.

-Then the trouble began.

-The track was broken

-and Spencer was too heavy.

-The track broke and Spencer

-slid into the muddy marshland.

-Tomos stopped. He knew what had

-happened but he could do nothing.

-Sorry, Spencer.

-I didn't know the track was broken.

-I'll get help. I'll be right back.

-I'll get help. I'll be right back.

-

-Tomos steamed away.

-He puffed into the station

-tired and muddy.

-The Fat Controller was having lunch

-with the Duke and Duchess.

-The station master phoned him and

-asked him to come to the station.

-Tomos was shaking all over.

-By now he knew he would have

-to tell the Fat Controller...

-..everything about Hiro.

-The Fat Controller listened.

-Hiro is an old, important engine.

-I didn't want to see him

-being scrapped. We tried to fix him.

-The Fat Controller stared at Tomos.

-Tomos was worried. He was sure Hiro

-would be sent to the scrap yard.

-Did you say Hiro?

-Yes, sir.

-Hero of the railway?

-Yes, sir.

-He's very famous.

-Famous?

-He's the hero of the railway.

-Why did you think I'd scrap

-the hero of the railway?

-Why didn't you ask me?

-Because I'm silly, sir!

-I was worried.

-I tried to fix him myself.

-You're not on your own anymore.

-We have to help Hiro right away.

-Send him to the steam works.

-Victor will make sure he's fixed.

-He'll be as good as new in no time.

-Tomos was so happy.

-He wanted to whistle out loud.

-Thank you, sir, thank you.

-What about Spencer?

-He needs help, too.

-I told Spencer not to leave

-the summerhouse. But he did.

-He'll have to wait for help.

-Hiro comes first.

-Hiro, I've just seen

-the Fat Controller.

-He knows that you're

-the hero of the railway.

-You're going to the steam works,

-not the smelting works.

-Hooray for Tomos!

-Hooray for Hiro!

-The following day, Tomos and Persi

-pulled Hiro into the steam works.

-The Fat Controller was there.

-Welcome, Hiro. It's nice

-to meet you after all this time.

-Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

-Thank you for Tomos.

-Tomos did his very best.

-Victor will make sure that you're

-the hero of the railway again.

-Of course, sir, anything for you.

-I'll do my very best. We all will.

-Sorry, boss!

-Sorry, boss!

-

-Sorry, sir.

-The hook is slippery.

-The hook is slippery.

-

-So I see.

-Don't worry. Victor's the best.

-A few days later,

-every engine visited Hiro.

-He puffed out slowly.

-All the engines stared at him

-in awe.

-Wow!

-Hiro looked incredible.

-As good as new.

-How do you feel?

-How do you feel?

-

-Very happy, Tomos.

-The dream is alive.

-Good work, Victor.

-Welcome back, hero of the railway.

-Thank you, sir.

-Now, Tomos,

-let's get Spencer out of the mud.

-Here I am. I've come to help you.

-You can't help me, Tomos.

-You're not strong enough.

-You're right, Spencer, but I know

-an engine that can help you.

-Who are you?

-Who are you?

-

-I'm Hiro.

-You're the scrap engine?

-I was the scrap engine.

-Blistering boilers.

-Spencer, it's time to haul you

-out of the mud.

-Hello, Spencer.

-Who'd have thought?

-Hiro shunted and hauled Rocky

-to the right place.

-Slowly, and carefully, Rocky hauled

-Spencer back onto the tracks.

-Pumping his pistons...

-..Hiro hauled Rocky and Spencer

-back to steam works.

-When Spencer was fixed,

-he joined Hiro and Tomos.

-Together, the three worked hard

-on the summerhouse.

-They hissed and puffed

-as best they could.

-Tomos, sorry for thinking

-you were playing tricks.

-Hiro, I'm sorry for calling you

-a pile of scrap.

-You're both wonderful,

-and great friends.

-Just then, the Duke and Duchess

-arrived for their holidays.

-They were thrilled

-with the summerhouse.

-That night,

-Tomos and Hiro were resting.

-They were tired

-after all the hard work.

-Tomos noticed that Hiro was sad.

-What's wrong, Hiro?

-You've been very kind, Tomos.

-You're the best friend

-anyone could have...

-..but I want to go home.

-I understand, Hiro.

-I can help you. Wait here.

-Before Hiro could whisper

-hero of the railway...

-..Tomos had puffed away.

-Sir, I need your help.

-I'm sure you'll understand.

-Hiro wants to go home.

-He hasn't been home for a long time.

-He misses his friends

-and his island.

-I understand.

-You did the right think

-in asking me. I'll help you.

-Tell Hiro to stop worrying.

-A few days later, every engine

-converged on the docks.

-There was a lot of excitement.

-Here he comes.

-Here he comes.

-

-OK, everyone.

-One, two, three.

-All the engines blew their hooters.

-Suddenly, one long hooter was heard.

-It was Hiro.

-Hiro puffed slowly along the track.

-He stopped next to Tomos and Persi.

-It's time for you to go home.

-Yes indeed, Tomos.

-I'll never forget

-what you did for me.

-I'll never forget you.

-Can I come and see you one day?

-Maybe you can visit us one day.

-Maybe, Persi.

-Sodor will be your home forever.

-I know, Tomos.

-Thank you.

-.
