Dialogue
Narrator: Thomas was still going pretty fast, as he arrived at the big station in Vicarstown, The last mainline stop on the Island of Sodor.
(Scene changes inside the station terminus with Thomas racing in whistling, he then brakes sharply and stops while bumping Annie and Clarabel)
Thomas: Hoo, hoo, hoo! ahh, One day I'm going to race right through this station and over the bridge to the mainland again.
Clarabel: Not today Thomas, this train terminates here.
(Suddenly a loud whistle could be heard and a large engine with 2 tenders backs down into the station)
Thomas: Oh wow, Who's this with two tenders, hello, are you from the other railway? I was built on the mainland you know, and once a long time ago, I went back across with the other famous engines from Sodor.
Flying Scotsman: Is that so? I didn't think there were famous engines on Sodor. [sees Gordon] Oh, hello Gordon.
Thomas: Do you two know each other?
Gordon: Yes, Thomas, we know each other, this is my brother, they call him "The Flying Scotsman".
Flying Scotsman: Indeed they do, it almost makes me sound famous. [winks at Thomas] Oh Gordon, I wanted to tell you my news, I've been invited to take part in the Great Railway Show on the Mainland, I shall be racing.
[Gordon gasps]
Thomas: The Great Railway Show? What's that?
Flying Scotsman: Oh The Great Railway Show is where engines compete to see who's the fastest or the strongest, or what have you, but I'm not sure any engines from Sodor will be going.
Gordon: I wouldn't want to go anyway, not if it's full of engines like you always boasting about how exciting things are on the Mainland.
Thomas: Well, I want to go!
Flying Scotsman: Of course you do, Thomas, and with any luck, maybe you shall. Flying Scotsman, coming through!
Thomas: [sees a big blue engine up ahead] Gordon? Gordon! [puffs up to the big blue engine and whistles] Thanks goodness I've found… [notices that the big blue engine is actually a female] Look at you, you're not Gordon.
Frieda: [scoffs; in a German accent] My name is Frieda. [whistles and puffs away]
[Last lines]
Thomas: Ashima, I've thought maybe...you've gone.
Ashima: You didn't think I'd leave without saying goodbye, did you? But... I do have to catch that ferry and go home.
Thomas: Oh! That means we don't have to say goodbye yet! You can come back to Sodor, and catch your rail ferry from there! It stops at Brendan Docks, remember?
Ashima: Good idea! You are clever... [winks] Sometimes.
