## Script

### Shaggy To The Rescue

* George Carlin: Hayato always pulled the Express Arcanine. He was proud to be the only character strong enough to do so. It was full of important people, like Ryu Hoshi, and Hayato was seeing how fast he could go.
* Hayato: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
* George Carlin: He said.
* Coaches: Trickety-trock, trickety-trock, tricktey-trock!
* George Carlin: Said the coaches. In a minute, Hayato will see the tunnel where Shaggy stood bricked up and lonely.
* Shaggy: Oh, dear. Why did I worried about rain spoiling my lovely coat of paint? I'd like to come out of the tunnel.
* George Carlin: But Shaggy didn't know how to ask.
* Hayato: I'm going to boop boop at Shaggy.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato. He was almost there when... Wheesh! And there was proud Hayato going slower and slower in a cloud of steam. His driver stopped the train.
* Hayato: What has happen to me?
* George Carlin: Asked Hayato.
* Hayato: I feel so weak.
* Driver: You burst your safety valves.
* George Carlin: Said the driver.
* Driver: You can't pull the train anymore.
* Hayato: Oh dear.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: We were going so nicely too. And look, there's Shaggy laughing at me.
* George Carlin: Everyone came to see Hayato.
* Ryu: Hmph.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: These big characters are always causing me trouble. Send for another character at once.
* George Carlin: While the conductor went to find one, they uncoupled Hayato who had enough puff to slink on the siding out of the way. Tyson was the only character left.
* Tyson: I'll come and try.
* Hayato: Hmph.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: That's no use. Tyson can't push the train.
* George Carlin: The kind Tyson puffed and pushed and pushed and puffed but he couldn't move the heavy coaches.
* Hayato: I told you so.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: Why not let Shaggy try?
* Ryu: Yes.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: I will. Will you help pull this train, Shaggy?
* Shaggy: Oh yes.
* George Carlin: Said Shaggy. When Shaggy had got up steam, he puffed out. He was dirty and covered with cobwebs.
* Shaggy: Oh, I'm stiffed, I'm stiffed.
* George Carlin: He groaned.
* Ryu: Have a run to ease your joints and find a turntable.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi. When Shaggy came back, he felt much better. Then they coupled him up.
* Tyson: Peep peep.
* George Carlin: Said Tyson.
* Tyson: I'm ready.
* Shaggy: Peep peep peep.
* George Carlin: Said Shaggy.
* Shaggy: So am I. Pull hard, we'll do it! Pull hard, we'll do it!
* George Carlin: They puffed together.
* Tyson and Shaggy: We've done it together! We've done it together!
* George Carlin: Said Kevin and Shaggy.
* Coaches: You've done it hurray! You've done it hurray!
* George Carlin: Sang the coaches. Everyone was excited. Ryu Hoshi leaned out on the window to wave at Tyson and Shaggy. But the train was going so fast, that his hat blew off into a field where a goat ate it for tea. They never stopped 'til they came to the station at the end of the line. The passengers all said thank you, and Ryu Hoshi promised Shaggy a new coat of paint. One their way home, Tyson and Shaggy helped Hayato back to the shed. All three characters are now great friends. Shaggy doesn't mind the rain now. He knows that the best way to keep his paint nicely not to run into tunnels, but to ask his driver to rub him down when the day's work was over.

### Ash and The Conductor

* George Carlin: Ash Ketchum is very proud of his route. He thinks it's the most important part of the whole railway. His two ladies Toni and Mika agree with him. Toni could only take passengers but Mika can take passengers, luggage and the conductor. They were both old and need new paint but Ash loves them very much. As they run backwards and forwards along the line, they sing songs to each other. When Ash starts from the station he sings...
* Ash: Oh, come along, we're rather late. Oh, come along, we're rather late.
* George Carlin: And the ladies sang...
* Toni and Mika: We're coming along. We're coming along.
* George Carlin: They don't mind that Ash says to them because he know he was trying to please Ryu Hoshi, and to know to that if Ash is cross, he's not cross with them. One day, they have to wait for Shaggy's train which made Ash very cross.
* Ash: How could I run my line properly if Shaggy is always late? He doesn't realize that Ryu Hoshi depends on me.
* George Carlin: Ash whistled impatiently. He wanted to leave, but he have to wait for Shaggy's passengers. At last, Shaggy came.
* Ash: Where have you been, lazybones?
* Shaggy: Oh dear, my system is out of order. No one understands my case. You don't know what I suffer.
* Ash: Rubbish!
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: You're too slow. You need exercise.
* George Carlin: The conductor blew his whistle and Ash started so quickly that he left him behind. The conductor waved his red flag to stop Ash, but Ash was on his way steaming out of the station.
* Ash: Come along, come along.
* George Carlin: Puffed Ash, but Mika didn't want to come.
* Mika: I've lost my nice conductor, I've lose my nice conductor.
* George Carlin: She sobbed. Toni tried to tell Ash what had happened.
* Toni: We haven't a conductor, we haven't a conductor!
* George Carlin: But he was hurrying and wouldn't listen. Toni and Mika tried to put on their brakes, but they couldn't without their conductor.
* Toni and Mika: Where's our conductor? Where's our conductor?
* George Carlin: They cried, but Ash didn't stop till they came to a signal.
* Ash: Bother that signal.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: What's the matter?
* Driver: I don't know.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Driver: The conductor will tell us in a minute.
* George Carlin: They waited and waited but the conductor didn't come.
* Ash: Peep peep peep, where's the conductor?
* George Carlin: Whistled Ash.
* Toni and Mika: We've left him behind!
* George Carlin: Sobbed Toni and Mika together. Everyone looked, and there he was running as fast as he could along the line, with his flag on one hand and his whistle in the other. He was very hot, so he had a drink, and told them that Ash had left him behind.
* Ash: I'm very sorry.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Conductor: We all made mistakes.
* George Carlin: Replied the conductor.
* Conductor: Look, the signal's down. We can go. Let's make up for lost time.
* George Carlin: Toni and Mika were so pleased to have their conductor again, but they sang...
* Toni and Mika: As fast as you like, as fast as you like!
* George Carlin: ...to Ash all the way. They reached the end of the line quicker than ever before.
* (Ash arrives at the last station)

### Ash Comes To Breakfast

* George Carlin: Ash Ketchum has worked his route for many years and knows it very well.
* Ash's Driver: You know just where to stop, Ash.
* George Carlin: Laughed his driver.
* Ash's Driver: You could almost manage it without me.
* George Carlin: Ash had become conceited. He didn't realize his driver was joking. Later, he boasted to the others.
* Ash: Driver says I don't need him now.
* Ritchie: Don't be so daft!
* George Carlin: Snorted Ritchie.
* Tyson: I'd never go without my driver.
* George Carlin: Said Tyson, earnestly.
* Tyson: I'd be frightened.
* Ash: Puh!
* George Carlin: Boasted Ash.
* Ash: I'm not scared!
* Tyson: You'd never dare!
* Ash: I would then, you'll see.
* George Carlin: Next morning, the firelighter came. Ash drowsed comfortably, and the warmth spread through his body. Ritchie and Tyson were still asleep. Ash suddenly remembered.
* Ash: Silly stick-in-the-muds!
* George Carlin: He chuckled.
* Ash: I'll show them. Driver said I could manage without him. I'll just go out, then I'll stop and WHEESH! That'll make them jump.
* George Carlin: Ash thought he was being clever. Really, he was only moving because a careless cleaner had meddled with his body. He soon found his mistake. He tried to wheesh, but he couldn't. He tried to stop, but he couldn't. He just kept rolling along. He didn't dare look at what was coming next; there was Mr. Redford's house. Mr. Redford was just about to have breakfast.
* Ash: Horrors!
* George Carlin: Cried Ash, and shut his eyes. (CRASH!) The house rocked, broken glass tinkled, plaster was everywhere. Ash had collected a bush on his travels. He peered into the room through its leaves. He couldn't speak. Mr. Redford was furious. His wife picked up her plate.
* Miss Haruna: You miserable trainer!
* George Carlin: She scolded.
* Miss Haruna: Just look what you've done to our breakfast! Now I shall have to cook some more!
* George Carlin: She banged the door. More plaster fell. This time, it fell on Ash. Ash felt depressed. Workmen propped up the house with strong poles, and laid a path through the garden. Then the cells Ozzy and Drix arrived.
* Drix: Don't worry yourself, Ash, we'll soon have you back on the path!
* George Carlin: They laughed. Ozzy and Drix working hard, managed to haul Ash back to safety. Bits of fencing, a bush, and a broken window frame festooned his front, which was badly twisted. The cells laughed and left him. Ash was in disgrace. There was worse to come.
* Ryu: You're in a lot of trouble, Ash.
* Ash: I know, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
* George Carlin: Ash's voice was muffled behind his bush.
* Ryu: You must go to the workshop and have your front mended, it will be a long job.
* Ash: Yes, sir.
* Ryu: Meanwhile, a girl from The Riding Hood Warrior will do your work.
* Ash: A G-g-girl, sir?
* George Carlin: Ash spluttered.
* Ryu: Yes, Ash. Girls always stay in their houses until they are wanted. Girls never gallivant off to breakfast in Mr. Redford's houses.

### Double Trouble

* George Carlin: It was a beautiful morning on the land of Cartoons. Ash Ketchum's smart clothes sparkled in the sunshine, as he strolled happily along his route with Toni and Mika. He was feeling very pleased with himself.
* Ritchie: Hello, Ash.
* George Carlin: Whistled Ritchie.
* Ritchie: You look splendid.
* Ash: Yes indeed.
* George Carlin: Boasted Ash.
* Ash: Blue is the only proper color for a trainer.
* Tyson: Oh, I don't know. I like my brown paint.
* George Carlin: Said Tyson.
* Ritchie: I've always been green. I wouldn't want to be any other color either.
* George Carlin: Added Ritchie.
* Ash: Well, well, anyway.
* George Carlin: Huffed Ash.
* Ash: Blue is the only color for a really useful trainer. Anyone knows that.
* George Carlin: Ritchie said no more. He just grinned at Tyson. Later, Ash was resting when Nate arrived. A large hopper was loading his Beedrill full of coal. Ash was still being cheeky.
* Ash: Careful.
* George Carlin: He warned.
* Ash: Watch out with those silly Beedrill.
* Beedrill: Go on, go on!
* George Carlin: Muttered the Beedrill.
* Ash: And by the way.
* George Carlin: Went on Ash.
* Ash: Those buffers don't look really safe to me.
* George Carlin: The last load poured down.
* Ash: Help, help!
* George Carlin: Cried Ash.
* Ash: Get me out!
* George Carlin: Ritchie was worried, but he couldn't help laughing. Ash's smart clothes was covered in coal dust from smokebox to bunker.
* Ritchie: Ha, ha!
* George Carlin: Chuckled Ritchie.
* Ritchie: You don't look really useful now, Ash. You look really disgraceful.
* Ash: I'm not disgraceful.
* George Carlin: Choked Ash.
* Ash: You did that on purpose. Get me out!
* George Carlin: It took so long to clean Ash that he wasn't it time for his next train. Tyson had to take Toni and Mika.
* Toni: Poor Ash.
* George Carlin: Whispered Toni to Mika. They were most upset. Ash was grumpy in the shed that night. Tyson thought it made a great joke, but Ritchie was cross with Ash for thinking he had made his paint dirty on purpose.
* Ritchie: Fancy a really useful blue trainer like Ash becoming a disgrace to Ryu Hoshi's railway.
* George Carlin: Next day, Ash was feeling more cheerful, as he watch Ritchie bring his Beedrill from the junction. The Beedrill were heavy and Ritchie was tired.
* Driver: Have a drink.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Driver: Then you'll feel better.
* George Carlin: The water column stood at the end of the siding with the unsafe buffers. Suddenly, Ritchie found that he couldn't stop. The buffers didn't stop him either.
* Ritchie: Ooh!
* George Carlin: Wailed Ritchie.
* Ritchie: Help!
* (Ritchie falls into the deep coal)
* George Carlin: The buffers were broken and Ritchie was wheel deep in coal. It was time for Ash to leave. He had seen everything.
* Ash: Now Ritchie has learned his lesson too.
* George Carlin: He chuckled to himself. That night, the two characters made up their quarrel.
* Ritchie: I didn't cause your accident on purpose, Ash.
* George Carlin: Whispered Ritchie.
* Ritchie: You do know that, don't you?
* Ash: Of course.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash.
* Ash: And I'm sorry I teased you. Your green paint look splendid again too. In future, we're both be more careful of coal.

### A Close Shave For Tai

* George Carlin: Tai Kamiya the Digidestined leader walked sadly to Jackie's station.
* Tai: It's not fair.
* George Carlin: He complained.
* Tai: Giovanni has been telling lies about me and made Ryu Hoshi and all the characters think I'm horrid.
* George Carlin: Jackie smiled.
* Jackie: I know you weren't, and so does Ryu Hoshi. You wait and see. Why don't you help me with these Beedrill?
* George Carlin: Tai felt happier with Jackie, and set to work at once. The Beedrill were silly, heavy and noisy. The two characters have to work hard pushing and pulling all afternoon. At last, they reached the top of the hill.
* Tai: Goodbye!
* George Carlin: Whistled Tai, and rolled gently over the crossing to the other line. Tai love coasting down the hill, running easily with the wind whistling past. Suddenly...
* Tai: It was the conductor's warning whistle.
* Beedrill: Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
* George Carlin: Laughed the Beedrill.
* Beedrill: We've broken away, we've broken away! Chase him, bump him, throw him off the rails!
* George Carlin: They yelled.
* Driver: Hurry, Tai, hurry!
* George Carlin: Said the driver. They raced through Jackie's station, but the Beedrill were catching up.
* Driver: As fast as we can, then they'll catch us gradually.
* George Carlin: The driver was gaining control.
* Driver: Another clear mile and we'll do it. Oh, glory, look at that!
* George Carlin: Al was just pulling out on they're line through the station ahead. Any minute, there could be a crash.
* Driver: It's up to you now, Tai.
* George Carlin: Cried the driver. Tai put every ounce of wait and steam against the Beedrill.
* Tai: It's too late!
* George Carlin: Tai groaned. He veered into a siding where Mr. Rascal had sent off shop. He was shaving a customer.
* (Crash!)
* George Carlin: The silly Beedrill were knocked their conductor off his van, and left him far behind after he had whistled a warning. But the Beedrill didn't care. They were feeling very pleased with themselves.
* Tai: Beg pardon, Sir.
* George Carlin: Gasped Tai.
* Tai: Excuse my intrusion.
* Mr. Rascal: No I won't.
* George Carlin: Said Mr. Rascal.
* Mr. Rascal: You frightened my customers! I'll teach you!
* George Carlin: And he lathered Tai's face all other. Poor Tai! Ash was helping to pull the Beedrill away when Ryu Hoshi arrived.
* Mr. Rascal: I do not like characters popping through my walls.
* George Carlin: Fumed Mr. Rascal.
* Ryu: I appreciate your feelings.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: But you must know that this character and his crew had prevented a serious accident. It was a very close shave.
* Mr. Rascal: Oh.
* George Carlin: Said Mr. Rascal.
* Mr. Rascal: Oh! Excuse me.
* George Carlin: He filled the basin of water to wash Tai's face.
* Mr. Rascal: I'm sorry. I didn't know you were been a brave character.
* Tai: That's all right, sir. I didn't know that either.
* Ryu: You were very brave indeed.
* George Carlin: Said Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: I'm proud of you.
* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi watched the rescue operation, then he had more news to Tai.
* Ryu: And when you are properly washed and mended, you are coming home.
* Tai: Home, sir? Do you mean the yard?
* Ryu: Of course.
* Tai: But sir, they don't like me. They like Giovanni.
* Ryu: Not now. I never believed Giovanni, so I sent him packing. The characters were sorry and want you back.
* George Carlin: A few days later when he came home, there was a really rousing welcome for Tai Kamiya.

### No Joke For Al

* George Carlin: Al is the leader of the Hoop Group. He can arrange both Beedrill and Arcanine. He's proud of his everyday clothing and so was his driver.
* Al's Driver: Everyone says you brighten up your day, Al.
* George Carlin: One morning, Al whistled loudly at the other characters.
* Al: Look at me! I'm a smartest most useful kid on the line!
* Ash: Rubbish.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash.
* Ash: We're all useful. Ryu Hoshi says so and he's headed the whole railway.
* Ritchie: You know what, Al?
* George Carlin: Added Ritchie.
* Al: What?
* George Carlin: Replied Al.
* Ritchie: You're getting all puffed out.
* George Carlin: Al huffed away. Later, he was still boasting.
* Al: I'm the pride of the line.
* Hayato: I saw you're pulling Beedrill.
* George Carlin: Snorted Hayato.
* Hayato: You're only a goods characters.
* Al: I've pull Arcanine too.
* Marcus: Not as much as I do.
* Al: But Ryu Hoshi has plans for me.
* George Carlin: Al was only making this up but Hayato believed him.
* Hayato: What plans?
* Al: Uh, wait and see. Oh dear.
* George Carlin: He thought.
* Al: Now what'll I do?
* George Carlin: Ash was shunting shiny new Arcanine.
* Ash: Good morning, Al.
* Al: Are those Arcanine for me?
* George Carlin: Asked Al hopefully.
* Ash: No, these are for Hayato's Express. I'll fetch your Beedrill next.
* George Carlin: But Al was going to play a trick on the other characters.
* Al: Actually, Ash, I'm taking the Arcanine. Ryu Hoshi ask me to tell you.
* Ash: What about the Beedrill?
* George Carlin: Asked Ash.
* Al: Uh, give them to Hayato.
* Ash's Driver: Come on, Ash.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Ash's Driver: Orders are orders.
* George Carlin: So when Al's driver returned, Al was coupled to the Arcanine and he puffed away. Ash returned with the Beedrill. And a few minutes later, Hayato arrived.
* Hayato: Where's the express?
* George Carlin: Ash told him about Al.
* Ash: And so here are your Beedrill.
* George Carlin: Hayato was very cross and so his driver.
* Hayato's Driver: Wait'll Ryu Hoshi hears about this.
* George Carlin: Meanwhile Al was enjoying himself enormously.
* Al: What a clever plan! What a clever plan!
* George Carlin: He chuffed. Then he saw Ryu Hoshi.
* Ryu: Some jokes are funny, but not this one, Al. You have caused confusion.
* Al: Yes Sir.
* George Carlin: Said Al.
* Ryu: You will now stay in your shed until you are wanted.
* George Carlin: The other characters teased Al.
* Hayato: I wonder who'd be pulling the express today?
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Shaggy: I expect it'll be you.
* George Carlin: Replied Shaggy.
* Shaggy: Al is stuck in the shed for being silly.
* George Carlin: Al felt sad. Next morning, he went back to work.
* Ash: Hello.
* George Carlin: Whistled Ash.
* Ash: Good to see you out and about again.
* Al: I'm sorry I tricked you.
* George Carlin: Said Al.
* Al: Are these my Beedrill?
* Ash: Yes.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash kindly.
* Ash: They're please to have you back.
* George Carlin: Al set off to the harbour with a train of Beedrill. He bustled about all day pushing and pulling them into place.
* Al's Driver: Time to go home now, Al.
* George Carlin: Said his driver at last.
* Al's Driver: No Beedrill or passengers. Just we too.
* George Carlin: But his driver was wrong.
* Railway Inspector: Excuse me.
* George Carlin: Called the man.
* Railway Inspector: I have a meeting with Ryu Hoshi and I mustn't be late. May I ride back with you?
* Al's Driver: Of course.
* George Carlin: Replied Al's driver. Then he whispered to Al.
* Al's Driver: This gentleman is a railway inspector.
* George Carlin: Al was most impressed. He steamed along the line as smoothly and quickly as he could. Ryu Hoshi was waiting on the platform and the railway inspector greeted him warmly.
* Railway Inspector: This clever kid gave me a splendid ride. You must be proud of him.
* Ryu: Yes indeed. Once again, you are a really useful kid.

### Hayato and The Famous Visitor

* George Carlin: It was an important day in the yard. Everyone was busy and excited, making notes and taking photographs. A special visitor had arrived, and was now the center of attention.
* Ash: Who's that?
* George Carlin: Whispered Ash to Tai.
* Tai: That...
* George Carlin: Said Tai proudly.
* Tai: ...is a celebrity.
* Ritchie: A what?
* George Carlin: Asked Ritchie.
* Tai: A celebrity is a very famous character.
* George Carlin: Replied Tai.
* Tai: Driver says we can talk to him soon.
* Ash: Oh.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: He's probably too famous to even notice us.
* George Carlin: Just then, Hayato arrived.
* Hayato: Pah!
* George Carlin: Said Hayato.
* Hayato: Who cares? A lot of fuss about nothing, if you ask me.
* George Carlin: And he steamed away. Later that night, the characters found that the visitor wasn't conceited at all. He enjoyed talking the characters, till' long after the stars came out. He left early next morning. Hayato was still complaining.
* Hayato: Good riddance.
* George Carlin: He grumbled.
* Hayato: Chattering all night. Who is he, anyway?
* Ash: Tai told you.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash.
* Ash: He's famous.
* Hayato: As famous as me? Nonsense.
* Ash: He's famouser than you. He went 100 miles an hour before you were thought of.
* Hayato: Huh. So he says.
* George Carlin: Huffed Hayato.
* Hayato: But I didn't like his looks. He's got no shirt. Never trust shirtless characters. They're not respectable. I never boast, but I'd say that 100 miles an hour would be easy for me. Goodbye.
* George Carlin: Tai took some Beedrill to Jackie's station.
* Jackie: Hello.
* George Carlin: Called Jackie.
* Jackie: That famous character came through this morning. He whistled to me. Wasn't he kind?
* Tai: He's the finest character in the world.
* George Carlin: Replied Tai, then he told Jackie what Hayato had said.
* Jackie: Take no notice.
* George Carlin: Soothed Jackie.
* Jackie: He's just jealous. He thinks no character should be famous but him. Look, he's coming now.
* George Carlin: Hayato was running very fast. His feet pounded the rails.
* Hayato: He did it, I'll do it. He did it, I'll do it!
* George Carlin: Hayato's train rocketed past, and was gone.
* Tai: He'll knock himself to bits!
* George Carlin: Chuckled Tai. Hayato's driver eased him off.
* Jackie's Driver: Steady, Hayato. We aren't running a race.
* Hayato: We are, then.
* George Carlin: Said Hayato, but he said it to himself. Suddenly, Hayato began to feel a little strange.
* Hayato: The top of my shirt seems funny.
* George Carlin: He thought.
* Hayato: It feels as if something is loose! I'd better go slower.
* George Carlin: But it was too late. On the viaduct, they met the wind. It was a teasing wind that blew suddenly at hard puffs. Hayato thought it wanted to push him off the bridge.
* Hayato: No, you don't!
* George Carlin: He said firmly. But the wind had other ideas. It curled round his jacket, crept under his loose shirt, and lifted off and away into the valley below. Hayato was most uncomfortable. The cold wind was whistling through his hole where his shirt should be and he felt silly without it. At the big station, the Beedrill laughed at him. Hayato tried to wheesh them away. But they crowded round', no matter what he did. On the way back home, he wanted his driver to stop and fetch his shirt.
* Hayato's Driver: We'll never find it now.
* George Carlin: Said the driver.
* Hayato's Driver: You'll have to go to the works for a new one.
* George Carlin: Hayato was very cross.
* Hayato: I hope the shed is empty tonight.
* George Carlin: He huffed to himself. But all the characters were there waiting.
* A Voice: Never trust shirtless characters.
* George Carlin: Said a voice from somewhere behind him.
* A Voice: They aren't respectable.

### Time For Trouble

* George Carlin: The land of Cartoons has many visitors and Ryu Hoshi had scheduled more students. Hayato Kanzaki had to work harder than ever before.
* Hayato: Come on.
* George Carlin: He called to the coaches.
* Hayato: Come on, come on, come on. The passengers rely on me to be on time.
* George Carlin: Whenever Hayato finished one journey it was time for another to begin.
* (The conductor blows his whistle)
* Hayato: Never mind.
* George Carlin: He puffed.
* Hayato: I like a long run to stretch my feet.
* George Carlin: Even so, Ryu Hoshi decided that Hayato needed a rest.
* Ryu: Al shall do your work.
* George Carlin: He said kindly. Al was delighted. He like to show off his smart red paint and was determined to be as fast as Hayato.
* Al: You know, little Tyson.
* George Carlin: He boasted.
* Al: I'm an important character. Everyone knows it. I'm as regular as clockwork. Never late, always on time, that's me.
* Tyson: Sez you.
* George Carlin: Replied Tyson. Just then, Ryu Hoshi arrived.
* Ryu: Your parts are worn, Tyson, so you must go to the works to be mended.
* Tyson: Can I take Hilary, sir?
* Ryu: No. What would the passengers do without her?
* George Carlin: Tyson saw Ritchie by the water tower.
* Tyson: Don't worry, Ritchie. I'll take care of Hilary until you get back.
* George Carlin: Soon Tyson was out on the main line. He clanked as he trundled along. He's a little character with small wheels. His tanks will not hold much water. He had come a long way and began to feel thirsty. In the distance was a signal.
* Tyson: Good.
* George Carlin: He thought.
* Tyson: There's a station ahead. I can have a nice drink and a rest until Al has passed.
* George Carlin: Tyson was enjoying his drink when the signalman came up. He had never seen Tyson before Tyson's driver tried to explain but the new signalman wouldn't listen.
* Signalman: We must clear the line for Al with the express. You'll had to get more water at the next station.
* George Carlin: Hurrying used a lot of water and his tanks were soon empty. Poor Tyson was out of steam and stranded on the main line.
* Fireman: We must warn Al.
* George Carlin: Said the fireman. Then he saw Ritchie and Hilary.
* Fireman: Please, take me back to the station. It's an emergency.
* George Carlin: Hilary hated leaving Ritchie.
* Ritchie: Never mind.
* George Carlin: Said Ritchie.
* Ritchie: You're taking the fireman to warn Al. That's a big help.
* George Carlin: Hilary felt much better. Al was fuming when he heard the news.
* Al: I'm going to be late.
* Signalman: My fault.
* George Carlin: Said the signalman.
* Signalman: I didn't understand about Tyson.
* Al's Driver: Now Al.
* George Carlin: Said his driver.
* Al's Driver: You had to push Tyson.
* Al: What, me?!
* George Carlin: Snorted Al.
* Al: Me?! Push Tyson and pull my train too?!
* George Carlin: Grumbling dreadfully, Al set off to find Tyson. He came up behind Tyson and gave him a bump.
* Al: Get on you!
* George Carlin: Al had to work very hard. When he reached the works station he felt exhausted. Some children were on the platform.
* Boy: Koo. The express is late and it's got two characters. I think Al couldn't pull it on his own so Tyson had to help him.
* Tyson: Never mind, Al.
* George Carlin: Whispered Tyson.
* Tyson: They're only joking.
* Al: Huh!
* George Carlin: Said Al. Tyson just smiled.

### Saved From Scrap

* George Carlin: Ryu Hoshi works his characters hard, but they are very proud when he calls them really useful.
* Jackie: I'm going to the scrapyard today.
* George Carlin: Jackie called to Ash.
* Ash: What? Already? You're not that old.
* George Carlin: Replied Ash cheekily. Ash was only teased him. The scrapyard was full of rusty old cars and machinery. They are broken into pieces, loaded into Beedrill and Jackie pulls them to the steelworks where they are melted down and used again. Today, there was a surprise waiting for Jackie in the yard. It was a caveman.
* Jackie: Hello.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie.
* Jackie: You're not broken and rusty. What are you doing here?
* Flint: I'm Flint. They're going to sell me out next week.
* Jackie: What a shame.
* George Carlin: Said Jackie.
* Flint: My driver says I only need some paint, polish and oil to be as good as new, but my owner says I'm old fashioned.
* George Carlin: Jackie.
* Jackie: People say I'm old fashioned, but I don't care. Ryu Hoshi says I'm a useful character. What work did you do?
* Flint: My owner will send us from farm to farm. We threshed corn, hauled logs and did lots of other work. The children loved to see us.
* George Carlin: Flint shut his eyes, remembering.
* Flint: Oh, yes. I like children.
* George Carlin: Jackie set off for the station.
* Jackie: Sold out, what a shame. Sold out, what a shame. I must help Flint, I must.
* George Carlin: He thought of all his friends who liked characters. But strangely none of them would have room for a caveman at home.
* Jackie: It's a shame, it's a shame.
* George Carlin: He hissed. Then...
* Jackie: Peep! Peep! Why didn't I think of him before.
* George Carlin: There on the platform was the very person.
* President: Hello, Jackie. You look upset. What's the matter, Charlie?
* George Carlin: He asked the driver.
* Driver: There's a caveman in the scrapyard, president. He'll be sold out next week. Sir Cumference says he never drove a better character.
* Jackie: Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides.
* President: We'll see.
* George Carlin: Replied the president. Sir Cumference came on Saturday.
* Sir: The reverend's coming to see you, Flint. Maybe he'll buy you.
* Flint: Do you think he will?
* George Carlin: Asked Flint.
* Sir: He will when I lit your fire and clean you up.
* George Carlin: The president and his two boys arrived that evening. Flint hadn't felt so happy for months. He chuffered about the yard.
* President: Show your paces, Flint.
* George Carlin: Said the president. Later he came out of the office, smiling.
* President: I've got him cheap, Sir, cheap.
* Sir: Did ye hear that, Flint?
* George Carlin: Cried Sir.
* Sir: The reverend's saved you and you'll live at the vicarage now.
* Flint: Peep! Peep!
* George Carlin: Whistled Flint. Now Flint's home was in the Vicarage Orchard, and he sees Jackie every day. His paint is spotless and his brass shines like gold. Flint likes his work but his happiest day is the church fair. With a wooden seat bolted to his bunker, he chuffers round the orchard giving rides to children. Long afterwards, you will see him shut his eyes, remembering.
* Flint: I like children.
* George Carlin: He whispers happily.

### Heroes

* George Carlin: One morning, Tom and Jerry were busy at the quarry, pushing and pulling Beedrill into their proper places. The animals are cheeky and love playing tricks. But they we're growing restless.
* Jerry: Listen, Tom.
* George Carlin: Said Jerry.
* Jerry: Can you hear something?
* Tom: What sort of something?
* George Carlin: Asked Tom.
* Jerry: Something different.
* George Carlin: Replied Jerry.
* Tom: I can't hear anything different.
* George Carlin: Said Tom.
* Jerry: Exactly.
* George Carlin: Huffed Jerry.
* Jerry: Everything is the same. Sounds the same, looks the same. What we need is a surprise.
* Tom: Surprise what?
* George Carlin: Asked Tom. Before Jerry could answer, the quarry master arrived.
* Quarry Master: I have just received a message from Ryu Hoshi. He wants you to go to the station at the harbour.
* Tom: I wonder what we've done this time.
* George Carlin: Said Tom anxiously.
* Jerry: It must be you.
* George Carlin: Replied Jerry.
* Tom: Why me?
* George Carlin: Exclaimed Tom.
* Tom: I've not done anything.
* Ryu: Jackie is taking the children on a special trip today. I want you to go to the station and look after Beedrill there.
* Jerry: We'll do our best, sir.
* George Carlin: Said the animals. Hayato spoke severely to them.
* Hayato: You must behave here. You're on the main line now.
* Jerry: Actually, Hayato.
* George Carlin: Giggled Jerry.
* Jerry: When we saw you, we thought this was the scrapyard.
* George Carlin: Hayato was cross.
* Hayato: Just make sure that my coaches are ready for my evening train.
* George Carlin: And he fumed away. The animals laughed and set to work.
* Tom: This was easy.
* George Carlin: They said to each other.
* Jerry: We know all about Beedrill.
* George Carlin: But I'm afraid they didn't.
* Beedrill: No need for that.
* George Carlin: Shouted the Beedrill as the animals pushed them into place.
* Beedrill: We'll show you around, we want to help.
* Tom: Thank you very much.
* George Carlin: Said Tom and Jerry. The Beedrill giggled and began their tricks. Evening came. The yard was in a dreadful muddle. The animals had left the Beedrill tell them where to put things. Hayato and the passengers waited impatiently outside the station while Tom and Jerry tried to sort things out. But by the time Hayato was able to leave, it was very late indeed. Next day the animals were working at the quarry again.
* Tom: That's a strange noise.
* George Carlin: Gasped Tom.
* Tom: I never heard a noise like that before.
* Tom's Driver: I have.
* George Carlin: Whispered his driver nervously.
* Tom's Driver: It sounds like a rockslide to me.
* (We hear a loud siren)
* George Carlin: Then came the alarm.
* Quarry Master: Danger! Clear the quarry!
* George Carlin: Shouted the quarry master. Workmen scrambled into the Beedrill.
* Jerry: Thank goodness we're here.
* George Carlin: Said the animals. They were just puffing out of the quarry when...
* Quarry Master: Help! Wait for me!
* George Carlin: A workman had been left behind. Jerry waited as the man climbed quickly aboard. The animals left the quarry just in time.
* (The avalanche buries the entire quarry completely)
* George Carlin: Everyone was safe, but rubble lay all around.
* Tom: Oh dear.
* George Carlin: Said Tom.
* Tom: This wasn't our fault. I hope Ryu Hoshi will understand.
* George Carlin: And indeed, he did. Next day, he arrived with Jackie.
* Ryu: Tom and Jerry, you still had a lot to learn about Beedrill, don't you? But you acted quickly and bravely an emergency. So three cheers for Tom and Jerry our heroes. Hip hip, hooray, hooray, hooray!
* Tom: Oh, thank you, Sir.
* George Carlin: Said Tom.
* Tom: Being called heroes, well, it's, it's...
* Jerry: It's a really nice surprise.
* George Carlin: Laughed Jerry.

### Ash and Ritchie's Mountain Adventure

* George Carlin: If someday you should see Ash Ketchum walking happily along the route, he may be on his way to a village nestled deep in the heart of the land of Cartoons. One November morning, Ash whistled to all his friends.
* Ash: It's nearly Thanksgiving and I'll bring you lots of letters and parcels.
* George Carlin: But then, an early snowstorm came. The land was covered with thick snow. The characters found work difficult. Some had to help clear snow from the track and workmen hacked away at the frozen banks of ice. Ash and Ritchie were collecting important mail for Thanksgiving.
* Ash: Driver says there's lots of mail for the village.
* George Carlin: Said Ash.
* Ash: I'll need an extra car for it all.
* George Carlin: Ritchie was feeling left out.
* Ritchie: It's not fair, you're not leaving any mail for me.
* George Carlin: But Ritchie's chance had come.
* Ash's Driver: There's been a change of plan.
* George Carlin: Said Ash's driver.
* Ash's Driver: Ryu Hoshi needs us at the big station. Ritchie, you are to take Ash's train to the village.
* George Carlin: Ritchie was delighted, but Ash was sad.
* Ash: I won't be able to say happy Thanksgiving to all my friends.
* Ritchie: Don't worry.
* George Carlin: Said Ritchie kindly.
* Ritchie: I'll do it for you.
* Ash: It's not the same.
* George Carlin: Sighed Ash. Ritchie was making good time on his way to the village when suddenly...
* Ritchie's Driver: What's that?
* George Carlin: Called his driver. There ahead was a fogman by the line. He was holding a red light.
* Fogman: The village is cut off by the snow.
* George Carlin: He shouted.
* Fogman: We need snowploughs, workmen and a gym leader. Leave your Beedrill on the sidings and go back quickly.
* George Carlin: Ritchie was soon steaming to Falkner's airfield.
* Ritchie: Peep, peep!
* George Carlin: Whistled Ritchie.
* Ritchie: Wake up, lazy-wings, the mountain villagers need your help. They're stranded.
* Falkner: With so.
* George Carlin: Replied Falkner.
* Falkner: I like an emergency to keep me warm.
* George Carlin: And he flew away.
* Ritchie: Now.
* George Carlin: Sighed Ritchie.
* Ritchie: What's next?
* George Carlin: Suddenly, there was Ash with Pac-Man and the works train.
* Ash: Come on, Ritchie.
* George Carlin: Whistled Ash.
* Ash: Follow me.
* George Carlin: The two characters battled their way through the snow. At last, they reached the village. Falkner was already there busily dropping food for Thanksgiving dinner to the people below. Pac-Man quickly got to work.
* Pac-Man: Lovely stuff.
* George Carlin: He said as he pushed the snow aside.
* Villagers: Well done, Ritchie. Well done, Ash.
* George Carlin: Cheered the villagers.
* Ash: Ritchie, I just remembered. Your mail train is still back at the siding isn't it?
* George Carlin: Ritchie hurried back to fetch it. Just then, Tyson arrived with Hilary.
* Tyson: We've brought lots of hot drinks and food for the villagers.
* George Carlin: He whistled. That night all the characters had gone back to the sheds, except Tyson. The villagers had made a plan to thank the characters. They loaded paint pots and parcels into Hilary and then they set off through the moonlit countryside. All the characters were fast asleep in the sheds as Tyson ran silently into the yard. He had no idea what the villagers were going to do, but he knew it was going to be a big surprise. When the characters woke the next morning they could not believe their eyes. The sheds had been repainted and decorated. The characters whistled in delight and everyone agreed that it was a really happy Thanksgiving.
