Plot
Thomas the tank engine enjoys his work at Knapford Station, bring in the coaches to a fro so bigger engines can pull trains out and about along the main line. One of these engines is called Gordon, the express engine. Thomas is always cheeky to him, and soon Gordon is tired of Thomas’ fooling about. So one day, after Thomas has a hard time starting, Gordon orders the passengers to clamber aboard the coaches as quickly as possible. Thomas is confused by this, as are the station staff, who forget to uncouple Thomas. Thomas is pulled faster than fast along the rails, behind the big express. They rumble over bridges and through tunnels until they finally stop at Edward’s Station. Thomas is uncoupled, turned around, and then given a long drink. He then steams back to Knapford, a sadder and wiser engine. He now knows not to be cheeky to Gordon again.
