00:00Gordon is a very proud steam engine. He's the fastest engine on the island of Sodor.
00:07He loves speeding along his line with the wind blowing across his funnel.
00:14You've broken the record again, said his driver.
00:17I'm the fastest, boasted Gordon.
00:20But not all the engines were impressed.
00:22Speed isn't everything, said James smugly.
00:25But being reliable and useful is, said Thomas.
00:28You slow engines will never understand, snorted Gordon,
00:32because you'll never go as fast as me.
00:35The Fat Controller arrived with news of a special for Thomas.
00:39I want you to collect a jet engine and take it to the airfield.
00:43What's a jet engine? asked Percy.
00:46A jet engine goes forward by pushing hot air out of its back, the Fat Controller said.
00:51Just like when you blow up a balloon and let it go, added Thomas.
00:55It's very fast.
00:59Thomas likes making special deliveries for the Fat Controller.
01:03It makes him feel special.
01:05But secretly, he wished he could go as fast as Gordon, just once.
01:12Thomas arrived at the docks excited to see the jet engine.
01:19It was shiny and modern, and Thomas had never seen anything like it.
01:24He just couldn't wait to start his journey.
01:27But Cranky was taking his time.
01:30Hurry up, puffed Thomas. This is a special special.
01:35Cranky did not like being told what to do, especially by an engine.
01:39He became so cranky that he was careless with his hook.
01:43His hook knocked the switch, and the switch started the jet engine.
01:48And the engine began to whine.
01:51The whine got louder and louder and louder.
01:55Oh, said Cranky.
01:57Before he could say anything else, the jet engine was rocketing Thomas up the track.
02:03Oh, said Thomas.
02:08The driver tried to put on the brakes, but Thomas couldn't stop.
02:12Oh, boy!
02:15The station master called ahead.
02:19Clear the lines. It's a runaway train.
02:24Signals were changed, and points were switched.
02:27Thomas had never been so excited.
02:32Thomas flew by James, and rocketed past Henry.
02:42And raced by Percy. They were amazed.
02:46Bertie was excited when he saw Thomas flying down the track.
02:50Want to race, Thomas? Beep Bertie.
02:55Never mind.
02:56No one had ever seen an engine go so fast.
03:00Gordon had no idea that Thomas was racing along the main line.
03:06I am the fastest, said Gordon proudly.
03:13Hi, Gordon. Bye, Gordon.
03:16Gordon could not believe what he had seen.
03:21At last, the jet engine ran out of fuel, and Thomas was back under his own power.
03:31He steamed up the track.
03:34Oh, said Thomas.
03:37Thomas had no idea that Thomas was racing along the main line.
03:41Want to race, Thomas? Beep Bertie.
03:45Never mind.
03:48He steamed gently back into Knapford Station.
03:56Sorry for overtaking you back there, Gordon.
04:00Overtake me? I didn't notice, Gordon huffed.
04:04You didn't notice the fastest engine on the island, said Henry.
04:08Yes, I am the fastest, puffed Thomas.
04:11Percy felt a little sorry for Gordon.
04:13Gordon doesn't have to go as fast as a jet engine. He's a steam engine.
04:18But he's still full of hot air, whistled James.
04:22And Gordon wheeshed away.
