S1E1: Thomas And The New Engines

It was a beautiful day in the Island of Sodor. The engines were doing their jobs to help get the Island going. One morning, Gordon was pulling the express to Vicarstown.

"EXPRESS COMING THROUGH!" exclaimed Gordon as he thundered along the main line. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a yellow streak zoomed by Gordon, followed by two more streaks, one purple, one blue, leaving him behind in the dust.

"RAIL RAIDERS!" shouted Gordon.

All over the island, all of Gordon's friends were experiencing the same thing.

"Bust my buffers!" exclaimed Percy as he was switched into a siding with the mail train.

"Careful with my paintwork!" wheesed James as he was being cleaned at the wash down.

"Oh, my," shuddered Henry as he was waiting at a red signal.

"Slow down, you speedy engines!" shouted Edward as the 3 streaks sped by Brendam Docks.

"Those three are definitely fast," chimed Cranky. "But I'm not going anywhere."

"Arrr, me matey! Probably those engines may be the Sirens Of Odysseus, harr," said Salty. Everyone was silent for a moment, including the Troublesome Trucks.
"Never mind. Continue your jobs, me maties."

At Maron Station, Thomas was picking up passengers to take to Ulfstead Castle. Suddenly, the three streaks of yellow, purple, and blue sped by Thomas.

"Cinders and ashes! What was that?!" exclaimed Thomas.

"Angalia mahali unakwenda!" shouted Nia in Swahili as she gets covered in mud.
"That means, watch out where you are going!"

"Trembling tracks!" wheesed Emily as the three streaks caused her trucks of coal to come off the tracks.

"Am I dreaming?" said The Mobile Classroom as the three streaks sped by him in the yard. "But school isn't in session right now."

"Maybe it will take long for these three to stop, according to my calculation," said Rebecca, pulling the milk train.

At Knapford Station, all the engines were talking about the three new engines.

"One of them is yellow," said James.

"The second was purple and aquamarine," chimed Toby, having only seen the latter.

"The third one was blue and pink," said Henry.

"They are big, to be honest," replied Edward.

"They are so fast that they overtook me," said Gordon. "Oh, the indignity."

Just then, Sir Topham Hatt, also known as the Fat Controller, came out of his office. He looked to all of the engines, cheerfully.


"Good afternoon, everyone," said the Fat Controller.
"Good afternoon, Sir," replied everyone.
"Today, three new engines have arrived on Sodor. They will be here shortly. I want you to show them with respect," he explained.

"I hope it's not those fast engines," muttered Gordon.

Thomas then saw three clouds of smoke appear near the junction.

"It must be those new engines," he said in amazement.

Everyone looked as the three clouds of steam get closer and closer to Knapford. Then the three mysterious engines stopped. When the smoke disappeared, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Right there, was the three engines that everyone described.

The first one, which is a NYC Hudson 4-6-4 locomotive like Connor, was yellowish orange, and purple lines streaked on its sides. At the front, were nameplates that read "Adagio." On its tender was a music note with an orange gem on it.

The second one, a Baltimore & Ohio P7 locomotive similar to Caitlin, was moderate purple with light brilliant aquamarine lines on its sides. Nameplates on the engines read "Aria". And finaly, there are stars near the face. On its tender was a purple star with something that looked like a flipped and tilted "S".


The third and final locomotive, also an NYC Hudson 4-6-4 locomotive, was artic white blue with pink coupling rods. On the sides were nameplates that read "Sonata"
On its tender was a heart with a blue zigzag music note in it.

All three engines sport "NWR" on the sides, which stands for, "North Western Railway", and also, red gems, known as pendants.

"Everyone, I like you to meet Adagio, Aria, and Sonata," said the Fat Controller. "Ladies, welcome to the Island of Sodor."

All of the engines peeped and whistled "Hello". The three streamlined engines whistled back.

"Greetings, everybody," replied the yellow 4-6-4, known as Adagio.

"Hi, everyone. I love tacos!" shouted the blue 4-6-4, known as Sonata, in excitement.

"Ugh! Can you please keep it down? I'm trying to make new friends here," said the purple Baltimore & Ohio P7, known as Aria.

Sir Topham Hatt then turned to the blue tank engine.

"Thomas, your job is to show them around the island. New engines have to be familiar with the railway. As for everyone else, except Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, we have a railway to run."

"Yes, sir, I will be honored to show the new engines," replied Thomas.

So everyone except for Thomas, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata went to their jobs.

"I'm Thomas. You must be Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, is that correct?" he introduced himself.

"Yes, we are," said the three engines.

"Okay then. You are now at Knapford Station, one of the island's two biggest stations. The other one is Vicarstown," said Thomas.

"Oh, nice," replied the three engines.

Thomas then showed them the next place, Brendam Docks.

"Salty, Cranky, and Diesel, these are Adagio, Aria, and Sonata," said Thomas.

"Hi, there, ladies, I've seen you gone fast earlier. You nearly knocked my cargo off my crane," said Cranky.

Aria and Sonata blushed. But not Adagio.

"So you must be the Sirens Of Odysseus, right, me maties?" asked Salty. Everyone, including Thomas, Adagio, Aria, Sonata, Carly The New Crane, Porter, and The Troublesome Trucks was silent for a moment.
"Never mind. Continue what you are doing."

Adagio, Thomas, Aria, and Sonata laughed, including Diesel.

So Thomas showed the three big female engines the rest of the island. Soon, by the time the four got back to Tidmouth Sheds, it was dark.

"I'm so tired that I want to sleep," said Adagio.
"Me too," said Aria.
"Me three," said Sonata.
"You can sleep in my berth, Adagio," said Percy.
"Thanks, Percy," replied Adagio.
"Unaweza kulala katika berth yangu, pia, Aria," said Nia. "It's Swahili for "you can sleep in my berth, too, Aria."
"Thanks for the offer," yawned Aria.
"You can sleep in my berth, three, Sonata," said Emily.
"Thank you very much!" beamed Sonata.

Soon, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata were fast asleep. The end.
