A Better View for Gordon

A Better View for Gordon is a remastered episode of Thomas & Friends.
==Plot==
The engines are helping with the construction of a brand new station of Kirk Ronan. Edward bought a new TX-1000 public address system for Kirk Ronan. One morning, Gordon is complaining. This is annoying James, who asks why the express engine complains all the time. Gordon replies that he is a big engine that knows everything and shall complain whenever he wants, while James is just a small red engine with ideas above his station and that one day he will show just what a big engine can really do.
Later, upon taking the express at Tidmouth, Gordon is ordered by the Fat Controller to pull an empty express train to Kirk Ronan for a dress rehearsal to test the new station building. At first he does not want to do it since Henry usually likes idling in stations, but the Fat Controller does not care and tells him to do as he is told. But while along the way, he begins to feel sick. His fireman tells him that he should go to the Works as his pipes are clogged. Gordon soon arrives at the station. He is impressed, but is disappointed when in front of him is a blank wall and a huge set of buffers. Gordon remarks the "view" to be boring and says that important engines should have a panoramic view so that people can see him, but is relieved when it is time for his return journey.
On the return journey, Gordon tries to build up speed, but he breaks down and comes to a complete stop in a siding. His fireman tells him that something inside of him is broken and that he is in complete need of repairs at the Works. When James arrives to collect his coaches, he tells Gordon that he was too puffed up in his smokebox and it serves him right. Soon Edward arrives and takes Gordon to the Works to be repaired.
When Gordon is repaired a few days later, he is still boasting and claims he is the finest engine on the Island of Sodor, and probably the world. He then leaves for the official opening of Kirk Ronan with the Fat Controller riding in the cab with his crew. When he approaches the station however, there is trouble; his crew are unable to apply his brakes due to an unknown jam. His driver reduces steam but Gordon is still going too fast to stop in time and crashes through the back of the station, completely destroying the wall and suffering damage to his buffers and front undercarriage. His crew and the Fat Controller also suffer minor injuries. The Fat Controller tells Gordon that he knew he wanted a panoramic view, but is not the way to achieve it. After workmen prop up the wall with poles, Donald and Douglas arrive and with pull Gordon back onto the rails while revealing his front to be battered and bent
Upon his second return from the Works, Gordon arrives back at the station for its second official opening and this time he arrives safely. Gordon is delighted to discover the broken wall has been turned into a panoramic window, affectionately named, "Gordon's View." The Fat Controller tells him that it is here to stay and he trusts that he will always see through it from the safety of his own rails. Gordon heartily agrees.
