00:00Toby feels left out.
00:04It was springtime on the island of Sodor.
00:08All the engines were working hard in the sunshine.
00:12One morning, the Fat Controller arrived at Tidmouth Sheds.
00:17He had some exciting news.
00:20The new Sodor Museum opens soon, he announced.
00:24Lots of very important people will be coming to the island for the grand opening.
00:30What's a museum? asked Percy.
00:33It's a place where they put old things so that people can stand and look at them, huffed Gordon.
00:39I want you all to look your best so everyone is to have a repaint.
00:46All the engines were very pleased.
00:51Later that morning, Toby met James at Knapford Station.
00:56Have you heard about the opening of the new museum? puffed James.
01:01We're all having a repaint. I shall look wonderful with a brand new coat of red paint.
01:07I've not heard about that, said Toby.
01:11Why hasn't the Fat Controller told me?
01:14You must have been left out, chuffed James.
01:21That night, Toby couldn't sleep.
01:25He kept worrying about what James had said.
01:28Why hasn't the Fat Controller told me about the museum? he wondered.
01:33Why have I been left out?
01:39By the next morning, Toby thought he knew the answer.
01:43He met Thomas at Abbey Station.
01:47Have you heard about the museum? asked Toby.
01:50Yes, puffed Thomas excitedly. We're all being repainted.
01:55I'm not, puffed Toby sadly.
01:58But I think I know why. I am a very old steam tram.
02:02Maybe the Fat Controller has decided to put me inside the museum.
02:07Thomas wasn't so sure.
02:09Why don't you ask him? huffed Thomas helpfully.
02:13Toby looked worried.
02:15He was frightened of what the Fat Controller might say.
02:19Must go, puffed Thomas.
02:21Really useful engines are really busy ones.
02:24And he chuffed away.
02:26Toby thought for a moment.
02:29I'll show the Fat Controller that he can't put me in a museum, said Toby.
02:34I'll show him I'm a really useful engine.
02:39Toby arrived at Tidmouth Sheds.
02:42The Fat Controller was talking to Emily.
02:45Emily, you must go to the yard for your repaint, said the Fat Controller.
02:51Emily was very happy.
02:54Another engine must collect your flour, said the Fat Controller.
02:59I'll do it, sir, said Toby quickly.
03:02Thank you, smiled the Fat Controller.
03:05And before he could say anything else, Toby steamed off.
03:09He didn't want the Fat Controller to tell him he was going to be put in the museum.
03:16Toby waited impatiently at the flour mill.
03:19Hurry up, hurry up, he wished.
03:21I must get to the docks as soon as I can.
03:28When Toby delivered the flour, he saw the Fat Controller standing on the dockside.
03:33He was talking to the dockmaster.
03:36The Fat Controller saw Toby.
03:39He wanted to speak to him, but Toby steamed off as fast as he could.
03:47Later, Toby saw Thomas again.
03:50He was pulling Annie and Clarabel.
03:53I'm off for my repaint, chuffed Thomas happily.
03:56I can pull Annie and Clarabel for you, said Toby.
04:00Thank you, Toby, tooted Thomas.
04:06So Toby pulled Annie and Clarabel on Thomas's branch line.
04:12And while James was getting a shiny new coat of red paint,
04:19Toby collected coal trucks from the mine for James.
04:24And while Percy was having his repaint,
04:28Toby shunted trucks full of stone in the quarry for Percy,
04:33even though it was dusty, dirty work.
04:38At last, Toby had finished.
04:41He was very tired and very dirty.
04:44Suddenly, he saw the Fat Controller waiting by the track.
04:48Toby still didn't want to speak to the Fat Controller.
04:52Quickly, he reversed into a siding
04:55and didn't see that a big rock had fallen on the line.
05:02Bust by cowcatchers, he cried.
05:06Luckily, no one was hurt,
05:08but Toby's axle and his cowcatchers were broken.
05:12He couldn't move.
05:15The Fat Controller hurried over.
05:18Why have you been running away from me all day? he asked.
05:23I don't want to be put in the museum, Toby said sadly.
05:28Why would I do that, Toby? asked the Fat Controller.
05:32Because a museum is full of old things.
05:35I'm an old steam tram and I'm not really useful anymore.
05:40The Fat Controller smiled.
05:43Toby, you may be old,
05:45but you are far too useful to be put in the museum.
05:49You have worked harder today than any other engine.
05:54And, as Sodor's only steam tram,
05:57I have a very special job for you.
06:00First, you will have a special polish.
06:03Then, you are to take all the visitors to the museum for the grand opening.
06:10Toby felt very happy.
06:12He let out a great whoosh of steam.
06:15I've been trying to tell you that all day, added the Fat Controller.
06:19Toby smiled.
06:21He felt very foolish.
06:26So, Toby's axle and cowcatchers were repaired,
06:30and then he was polished until he looked as good as new.
06:37On the day of the museum opening,
06:39Toby picked up the visitors at the docks
06:42and puffed them proudly to the new museum.
06:48Toby was proud to be old,
06:50and he was even prouder to be the only really useful steam tram on the island of Sodor.
