Episode 1: Gordon, and the new diesel
It was a wonderful ngày on the island of sodor. Thomas was running his branchline as usual, when he stopped at a station. Gordon stopped tiếp theo to him.
"Good morning Gordon." đã đưa ý kiến Thomas. "How are bạn on this fine day?"
"I'm doing alright Thomas." Gordon replied, "And I heard we're getting a new engine."
"That's awesome." Wheeshed Thomas, "Do bạn know when the new engine will be getting here?"
"I think he'll meet us at Tidmouth Shed's tomorrow morning." Gordon told Thomas, then he steamed off with the express. Then, Thomas took off with his train.
The tiếp theo morning, Sir Tophamm Hat was at Tidmouth Sheds with a silver diesel that had three stripes.
"Everyone, meet Sean." đã đưa ý kiến Sir Tophamm Hat. "He is the new engine that I ordered."
"A pleasure to meet bạn all." đã đưa ý kiến Sean.
All the engines đã đưa ý kiến hello to the new engine, except for Gordon. He seemed jealous, and thought that Sean was going to replace him.
"Gordon," đã đưa ý kiến Sir Tophamm Hat, "I need bạn to carry the express."
"Yes sir," đã đưa ý kiến Gordon, and he left the yards at once.
When Gordon got to Knapford station, he noticed the express was a little larger then it normally was. It was seven passenger cars long.
Gordon coupled to the train, and left the station when the signal turned green.
'This may be hard to get up that hill' Gordon thought. It seemed to be easy at first, but Gordon knew he would have a hard time going up the hill.
A few phút later, near the station, Sean was waiting for his first assignment. A engineer came to him.
"Gordon is stuck on the hill, and needs your help." đã đưa ý kiến the engineer.
"I'll get on it right away." Sean said, and raced out of the station to Gordon's hill.
"Years of going up this monstrous hill, and I still can't get a train up here." Gordon exclaimed, "Bother!"
Sean soon arrived, "Don't worry Gordon, I'm here to help."
"Oh great." Gordon said, "The engine that Sir Tophamm Hat got to replace me."
"Is that why bạn think I'm here?" Sean asked.
"Yes!" Gordon answered. "Everytime Sir Tophamm Hat gets a diesel, they threaten to replace us!"
"I don't want to replace anyone." Sean said, as he coupled to the train.
"Alright," đã đưa ý kiến the conductor, "Let's get a di chuyển on."
Sean pushes, as Gordon pulled. Together, they got the train up Gordon's đồi núi, hill with ease. As they reached the top, Sean uncoupled from the train, and watched Gordon take off.
Later, Sir Tophamm Hat came to see him at the tiếp theo station, "Sean is not replacing any engines, and bạn should know better. He helped bạn go up a đồi núi, hill after bạn made that accusation. As a punishment, you're going to pull freight trains for three weeks."
"Oh, the indignity." đã đưa ý kiến Gordon, and left the station right when the conductor blew his whistle while waving his green flag.
Meanwhile at the sheds, Sean was talking to Thomas, Percy, and Duck.
"My trước đó owner replaced me with newer diesels called a genesis." Sean told the three, "They can use a third rail for electricity."
"We don't have any engines like that on our lines." con vịt, vịt said.
"What is a third rail?" Percy asked.
"It's another rail that is parallel to the tracks." Sean explained, "Some diesels are capable of using the third rail to use electricity for power. I'm not one of them."
Just then, Gordon arrived at the sheds, "What are bạn telling these engines?" Gordon asked.
"What my trước đó railroad was like." Sean told him.
"Sure." đã đưa ý kiến Gordon, not believing him.
"Why don't bạn believe him?" con vịt, vịt asked.
"It's not like he wants to take over our jobs" Percy said, "Some engines did that to him already."
"Really?" Gordon asked.
"Sad, but true." đã đưa ý kiến Sean.
'Maybe, this guy isn't so bad after all.' Gordon thought, "Could bạn tell me what your line was like?" Gordon said.
So that night, the engines heard a lot of stories that Sean told them, about how he pulled trains when he was brand new, but that's another story.
The End.
