Write a hilarious joke ridden 17+ Thomas transcript based on this prompt:

Ever since Thomas left the yard to run his branch line, life has become harder for Gordon, Henry and James. Without a station pilot, they must shunt in sidings and fetch their own coaches, and their complaining causes the Fat Controller a lot of trouble. In addition, while Thomas, being a tank engine, does not need a turntable, the larger tender engines do, as it is dangerous for them to run fast backwards. However, Gordon soon starts acting as though his tender is a symbol of his importance.

One windy day, after talking to Thomas about the recent work, Gordon heads for the turntable at the end of the line. The turntable is near the ocean, so the wind is very strong, and it becomes difficult to turn unless an engine is perfectly balanced on the turntable. Gordon is in a bad mood and is unable to get perfectly balanced, and neither his crew nor the workmen are able to get him to cooperate. After several attempts, they give up and tell Gordon that he has to pull his next train backwards.

When Gordon arrives at Elsbridge, a group of schoolboys taunt him by calling him a tank engine. Thomas, waiting on the other side of the platform, laughs and suggests that Gordon should scrap his tender and get a nice bunker. James passes by with his train and laughs at Gordon as well. Gordon warns him that he may also stick on the turntable, to which James replies that he is not “fat” like him.

James later returns to the sheds and carefully lines up on the turntable, allowing it to move very easily. But the strong wind begins to spin James around like a top. Gordon arrives and sees the whole thing. When the turntable finally stops spinning, James is very dizzy, with his face having turned green. Gordon laughs and asks James if he was playing “roundabouts” as James silently backs into the shed, still dizzy, and completely humiliated.

Gordon, James, and Henry hold an indignation meeting that night. After the day’s events, they decide it would be best to go on strike.

Title: The Great Sodor Spin-Out

[The scene opens with Thomas chuffing away happily from the yard, heading to his branch line, leaving Gordon, Henry, and James grumbling about their new responsibilities.]

Gordon: (huffily) “It’s unbecoming for engines of our caliber to fetch our own coaches. Where’s the dignity in shunting?”

Henry: “I miss Thomas… At least he never complained about the dirty work.”

James: (snootily) “Well, if the Fat Controller expects me to shunt, he can expect my paint to suffer!”

[Their complaints reach the ears of the Fat Controller, who sighs deeply.]

Fat Controller: “Gentlemen, we all must do our part. Thomas has his line to manage.”

[The engines simmer down, but not for long. Later, Gordon, haughty as ever, heads towards the turntable by the ocean.]

Narrator: “Gordon, believing his tender signified his importance, strutted to the turntable like a peacock. But the wind had other plans.”

[Gordon’s attempts to balance perfectly on the turntable are futile, the wind buffeting him from side to side.]

Gordon’s Driver: “Gordon, you must balance perfectly or we’ll never turn you around.”

Gordon: (grumbling) “It’s this ridiculous wind! It has it in for me!”

[After several attempts, they give up. Gordon is told he has to go backwards.]

Gordon: (indignantly) “Backwards? I might as well be a tank engine!”

[At Elsbridge, a group of schoolboys spot Gordon.]

Schoolboys: “Look! Gordon’s pretending to be a tank engine! Maybe he wants to be like Thomas!”

[Thomas, overhearing, can’t help but chuckle.]

Thomas: “Maybe you should ditch the tender, Gordon. A nice, compact bunker would suit you!”

[James passes, laughing, until Gordon warns him about the turntable.]

Gordon: “You may not escape the turntable’s trickery, James.”

James: “Nonsense! I’m not ‘fat’ like you.”

[Later, back at the windy turntable, James aligns himself perfectly, only for the wind to catch him, spinning him like a merry-go-round.]

James: (dizzily) “Stop! I want to get off!”

[Gordon arrives in time to see James, face as green as his paintwork, finally stopping.]

Gordon: “Enjoying ‘roundabouts,’ James?”

[James, too dizzy to retort, just mumbles as he backs into the shed.]

[That night, Gordon, James, and Henry convene an indignation meeting.]

Gordon: “This indignity cannot stand. Are we not the pride of the line?”

Henry: “Absolutely. This additional work is most disagreeable.”

James: (still slightly dizzy) “I propose a strike. No more shunting or fetching!”

Gordon: “Agreed. We shall take a stand. For dignity!”

[The engines, united in their disgruntlement, puff quietly in the shed, not aware of the chaos their decision would bring.]

Narrator: “And so, plans for a strike began to simmer among the engines, unaware of the adventures and lessons this decision would entail on the Island of Sodor.”

[The scene fades out, setting the stage for what will surely be an eventful confrontation with the Fat Controller in the morning.]
