male narrator:

The missing breakdown train.

[whistles toot]

male narrator:

The breakdown train

consists of a small coach,

some flatbed cars,

and two cranes,

whose names are

Judy and Jerome.

Judy and Jerome love

rescuing engines

that have broken down

or come off the rails.

[whistle toots]

- Hello.

- Oh.

- Emergency!

- Judy?

- Jerome!

- Where's the accident?

- There's no emergency.

I was just...

saying hello.

- Oh.

- Oh.

narrator: Unfortunately,

Judy and Jerome

haven't dealt

with any emergencies

for some time.

- My name is Ryan.

- Well. Hello, Ryan.

My name's Judy.

- And my name's Jerome.

both: And we're

the breakdown train.

- Oh. [chuckles]

Like Rocky.

- Well...yes, I suppose.

- Since they built

that Search & Rescue Center,

no one uses us anymore.

Rocky gets all the good jobs.

- And we're left looking

at the Yard, day in, day out.

- Oh, dear.

Well, I'm on my way

to Arlesburgh Harbour.

I could take you there,

for a change?

both: Oh, yes please!

[whistle toots]

- Oh, this is nice,

isn't it, Jerome?

- It certainly is--

an adventure!

[duck quacks]

[ducks quacking]

- Right then, you two,

I'm off to work.

Are you going to be okay?

Oh, yes. We love it here.

Don't we, Judy?

- Oh, we do!

[laughs]

Thanks, Ryan.

See you later.

- [laughs]

Cheerio!

[whistle toots]

- Oh, sea air.

You can't beat it.

- And what a view.

[gasps] Look, Judy,

a boat--on the railway line.

- I've never seen

anything like it.

- [sighs]

Look at the lighthouse.

- And the ships.

- And the seagulls.

[gulls cawing]

Oh. There he goes again,

that boat-train.

- Oh, yes.

Funny-looking thing.

[gull caws]

I don't think

I like seagulls.

[gasps]

- That lighthouse

doesn't do much.

- Hmm, it just goes round...

and round.

- [snoring]

[gull caws]

Ahh! Ooh, Shoo!

Shoo shoo shoo shoo!

- Judy?

- Ohh, Jerome.

- [sighs]

[gears screeching]

You know, I don't think

the sea air is

good for my gears.

[gears screeching]

- Oh. You're right.

And we are

the breakdown train,

so we have to be ready

in an emergency.

- That last engine was nice,

so why don't we ask another one

if they'll move us along?

We could try

somewhere else.

[whistle toots]

- Ah.

- [chuckles]

both:

Thanks, Oliver.

[sheep bleating]

- Ohh, this is

a beautiful spot.

[sheep bleating]

- So nice and peaceful,

and ever so...so...

so...

both: Boring!

- [sighs]

It really is.

All these green fields

look the same.

- And I've counted

all those sheep five times,

and there are still

of them.

It never changes.

[sheep bleats]

[sheep bleating]

[whistle toots]

- Are you thinking

what I'm thinking?

- Mm-hmm.

Hey, Duck!

Over here!

narrator: Meanwhile,

Daisy the diesel railcar

was on her way

back to her shed,

but then

there was trouble.

[bull moos]

- Oh!

[brakes screeching]

- Oh, no!

Look out!

- Ah! [gasps] Oh! Oh.

Help! Oh!

Help!

Ah!

[dramatic music]

- Judy! Jerome!

Where are you?

- Thomas.

What's happened?

- It's Daisy.

She's come off the tracks

on her way back to the shed,

but I can't find

the breakdown train.

Now I'll have to go

all the way

to the Search & Rescue Center

for Rocky.

- No, Thomas, don't.

I know where

the breakdown train is.

Leave it with me.

[whistle toots]

narrator:

But the breakdown train

wasn't at the harbor

anymore.

- Oh, no.

Where have they gone?

- Are you looking

for Judy and Jerome?

- Yes!

Yes, I am!

- Oliver took off

with them

down Duck's branch line.

Funny looking--

[whistle toots]

Oh.

narrator:

But the breakdown train

wasn't on Duck's

branch line either.

[whistle toots]

- Oliver!

[brakes screeching]

[whistle toots]

- Oh. Hello there.

- Where is the breakdown train--

Judy and Jerome? Do you know?

- I left them on a siding

down the line,

but Duck moved them

somewhere else.

- Where? I need to find them

as quickly as possible,

there's an emergency!

- What do you think,

Jerome?

It's a bit dusty

round here, isn't it?

- Yes.

And very noisy!

- What's that, Jerome?

- I said very n--

[whistle toots]

Oh, hello, Ryan.

- What?

Oh!

- Emergency!

- Emergency? Really?

Oh, great!

- Oh.

[whistle toots]

Finally, a chance to do

what we do best.

- Okay.

- Ooh, mind my springs.

- Don't worry, Daisy.

We've got you. [grunts]

- Easy now, Judy.

Steady as she goes.

narrator: Judy and Jerome

were so happy.

At last they had a chance

to be really useful again.

[peaceful music]

- Judy and Jerome,

you did a good job today,

but it's very important

that we all know where you are.

Otherwise,

when there's an emergency,

you'll only add

to the confusion and delay.

- Sorry, sir.

- We didn't mean to cause

any trouble, but--

- We had been stuck in the yard

for a very long time and--

- We never seemed to attend

any emergencies anymore.

- Yeah, I appreciate that,

and today you have reminded me

that Rocky is not

the only breakdown crane

on the island.

So from now on I propose

that you should stay here

in the Arlesburgh Goods Yard,

then you will be

on hand and ready

when there's an emergency

on this side of the island.

[both cheering and laughing]

[whistle toots]

- Thank you, sir.

- [laughs]

narrator: Judy and Jerome

were very happy,

and they were more than ready

to help their friends

the next time

they were needed.

[laughter]

- Oh. Oh!

Shoo!
