narrator: Donald and Douglas
were on their way
to Brendham Docks
to pick up a special shipment
of steel to take
to Vicarstown.
- Whoa, Dougie.
Look at all these flatbeds.
- Aye. I feel sorry
for the engine
that has to pull
that lot, Donnie. [laughs]
- Ahoy, shipmates.
Here's your train. [laughs]
- Whoa. That's too much, Salty.
Even for two engines.
- Away an' weesht!
We can pull that, no bother.
Come on, Dougie.
[whistles blows]
Let's show this old sea dog
what we can do.
- I'm not getting behind
that train, Donnie.
It's too much
for the two of us.
- Nonsense, Dougie.
We can manage
that wee train, no bother.
- We cannae! It's too heavy.
- Ah, we can, of course.
- Cannae!

- Hello, Emily.
[whistle toots]
What are you doing down here?
- I'm just on my way down
to help Donald and Douglas.
- [laughs] Good luck with that.
- What do you mean?
- They can't agree
with each other,
let alone another engine.
- Cannae!
- Can!
- Cannae!
- Can!
- [laughs] Oh, I'm sure
I'll be fine, Thomas.
- Well, then you'd better
hurry up.
Because they're
already arguing. [laughs]

Get to the back of the train.

You're blocking the line.

- Hello, everyone.
I hear this train
could use an extra engine.
- Aye, that's right.
[whistle blows]
Thanks, Emily.
Looks like me and the lassie
will have to do this
on our own.
- What? No. Wait a minute.
You're not taking this train
without me.
- Oh!
- Ready to go, Donnie.
[whistles blowing]

was on its way to Vicarstown.
About time.
And everything could go back
to normal
at the docks.

- You know,
thanks for helping, Emily.
- No trouble at all, Donald.
- Ack, no. I'm Douglas.
Donald's my brother.
He's the difficult one.

- All right. What's so funny?
- He tried to make out
that it was me who pushed him.
I said, you pulled me,
more like.
He was proper salty all day.
- Really? [laughs]
- Aye, and I'll tell you
something else about my brother.

into the signal box.

I'm not going any further.

on the line.

- What? Why?

laughing away, ha ha ha.
It's no fair, me being stuck
out at the front on my own.

Ah, ah.

that's enough.
We're swapping back.

Let's swap back.
