Gordon gets stuck/Thomas, Wilson, Brewster, and Koko arrive

This is where Gordon gets stuck on his hill, and where Thomas, Wilson, Brewster, and Koko make their intros in *Wilson, Brewster, and Koko's Adventures of Thomas & Friends: The Adventure Begins*.

[We then come to Gordon where he's now approaching to a really steep hill]

Narrator: Gordon didn't like pulling heavy goods trains, but he especially didn't pulling them up the big hill on the main line.

[The trucks hold Gordon back as their couplings tighten as Gordon feels the strain. He tries to pull them up the hill but then he stops]

Gordon: Oh. (strains) Oh, I give up.

[Gordon's driver and fireman peek out of the cab]

Gordon's driver: What's he up to now? [gets out and walks up to Gordon's front] Come on, Gordon, you're not even trying.

Gordon: Ha. I can't do it. Those noisy cars hold an engine. If they were coaches, now that would be different. [At Knapford, in Sir Topham Hatt's office, Sir Topham Hatt is reviewing some notes on a clipboard when the phone rings. He picks it up]

Sir Topham Hatt: Hello. [realizes he's got the phone the wrong way round and turns it the right way up] Ahem. Hello?

Narrator: The man in charge of the little railway was Sir Topham Hatt.

Sir Topham Hatt: I see. (more sternly) I see.

Narrator: It was his job to make sure all the trains ran on time.

Sir Topham Hatt: (while rubbing the back of his head) Oh, dear. Okay. Goodbye. [puts the phone down] Hmmm.

[Later, in the yard, Sir Topham Hatt approaches Edward, who is currently shunting a line of cars into a siding]

Sir Topham Hatt: Hello, Edward. I'm afraid Gordon needs your help.

Edward: *My* help, Sir? Are you sure?

Sir Topham Hatt: Yes. He can't get up the hill with his goods cars, apparently.

Edward: (whistles) Alright, Sir. I'm on my way.

[The scene changes to Gordon trying to get up the hill, as he's backing up back down to the bottom to get a better start upward, just as Edward arrives]

Edward: (whistles) Hello, Gordon. I've come to push.

Gordon: Huh. No use at all. A small engine like you.

Edward: Humph. (He buffers up to Gordon's brake van and starts to push)

Edward: Oh, please Gordon, try.

Gordon: All right, all right.

[Gordon tries going up while Edward pushes]

Gordon: I can't do it.

Edward: I will do it.

Gordon: I can't do it.

Edward: I will do it.

Gordon: I can't do it.

Edward: I will do it.

[They reach the top and Gordon puffs down the other side]

Gordon: I've done it. I've done it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I knew I could do it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

[panting, Edward then reaches the crest of the hill and stops at the top, as he looks down the other side where Gordon left]

Edward: Not even so much as a "thank you". Humph.

[Later, Edward is back in Knapford Yard shunting some cars]

Narrator: Later, Edward was back in the yard. When he heard a voice he never heard before.

Male voice: Excuse me. Can you tell me where Knapford is?

James: But this *is* Knapford. Where are you from?

Male voice: Oh, uh, Brighton on the mainland.

Edward: (gasps) Sir Topham Hatt's new engine! (whistles before backing up to look at the new engine in question)

Male voice: That's where all the best tank engines come from.

James: Is it really?

Male voice: I'm really happy to be here. I've never been to Sodor before.

Edward: (gasps)

Narrator: Edward couldn't believe his eyes. The new engine had six small wheels, a short stumpy boiler, a short stumpy dome and a short stumpy funnel.

[as the Narrator speaks, we see the engine is an 0-6-0 Class E2 Tank Engine painted teal green with white lining. While also sporting "L.B.S.C" (London, Brighton, Southern and Coast Railway) on his tanks and the Number 70 in yellow lettering with red lining on his bunker]

Tank Engine: ...And that's why I've always wanted to come here. I... (notice Edward staring) Hello? What's the matter? Do I have soot on my face?

Edward: No. It's just... well... You're not a big engine.

Tank engine: Yes, I am.

James: (laughs) No, you're not.

Tank engine: Well, I was big enough to do my work on the mainland. [puffs away]

Edward: Wait. Wait. All I meant was... [reverses back] you're not as big as I am.

Tank engine: I might not be as big as you. But I'm very hard working.

[Then Gordon puffs in and whistles as the tank engine gasps]

Gordon: (chuckles) And *Who* are you?

Thomas: I'm Thomas.

Edward: The new engine!

[James reverses next to Edward]

Gordon: Oh dear, Sir Topham Hatt must've made a terrible mistake. I think he was expecting someone: "really useful".

Thomas: I *am* really useful!

Gordon: (chuckles) For fetching coaches, perhaps.

[Then 3 unknown horns are heard]

Edward: (gasps) Those most be the exchange engines!

???: That's right.

[3 engines are heard pulling up]

Edward: (gasps)

Narrator: Edward couldn't believe his eyes. The exchange engines were not steam engines, but 3 unique, diesel and electric engines! One was colored red with chrome plating, the second was blue with yellow stripes and front, while the third was green, white, and purple, and was also a girl!

Red engine: Is this Knapford? Vee told us we'd meet the controller at Knapford.

Blue Diesel: Yes, we came a long way to... (notices Edward staring) What? What's wrong?

Green, white, and purple engine: Is our paint dirty?

Edward: No. It's just...well.... you three aren't exactly what we were expecting in lines of engines.

Red Engine: How so?

Edward: It's just... well... you're not steam engines.

Blue and yellow engine: No. We're diesel and electric chuggers.

James: Oh, is that so?

Red Engine: Yes, is something wrong with that?

Edward: No, no. I'm just not use to seeing engines of your types. We've been working around Steam Engines for our whole lives.

Blue Diesel: Well, if it helps you feel better, we *do* have steam engines back on our railway.

Gordon: (chuckles) And *Who* are you three?

Red engine: I'm Wilson.

Blue Diesel: I'm Brewster.

Green, white, and purple engine: And I'm Koko!

Gordon: Oh dear, Sir Topham Hatt must've made a terrible mistake. I think he was expecting someone: "really useful", not childish. (Indicating Koko) Or even one that's a girl.

Koko: (offended) Hey! We *are* Really Useful! And I can do work just as well as guys can!

Gordon: Well, I'll believe it when I see it from you three. Oh, well, if you four stick around long enough, you might be lucky enough to see me pulling the express. (whistles) That will be a fine sight for you.

[He puffs off, leaving Thomas and the trainees sulking]

Edward: (sighs) Sorry about Gordon, guys. I'm afraid he's often like that.

Koko: Humph! Well, I don't mind being called: "childish", but he didn't need to make fun of me being a girl!

Edward: Don't mind him. But, I'll quickly say, I think it will be nice to work with a girl engine.

Koko: Really?

Edward: Yes. I'm Edward, by the way.

James: And, I'm James.

Sir Topham Hatt: (off screen) Hello, hello, hello!

James: And here comes the boss.

Edward: Sir Topham Hatt!

Sir Topham Hatt: (chuckling as he walks up to Thomas) Oh. You must be Thomas, my new Tank Engine. (indicating the trainees) And you three must be the engines from Chuggington. Welcome to Sodor! I, am Sir Topham Hatt.

Thomas: Pleased to meet you.

Brewster: Very nice to me you, Mister.

Sir Topham Hatt: (looks confused for a minute before he clears his throat)

[But this confuses Thomas, Wilson, Brewster, and Koko]

Wilson: (softly to Brewster) What's wrong with him?

Brewster: (softly) I haven't a clue.

Edward: Sir!

Koko: Huh?

Edward: (softly) You're supposed to call him, "Sir"!

Thomas: Oh! I'm pleased to meet you, *Sir*.

Brewster: Yes, it's very nice to meet you, *Sir*.

Sir Topham Hatt: I'm very pleased to meet you too! Now, as you can see, I'm a very busy man. And this, is a very busy railway. So, I expect you to make yourselves, "Really Useful" right away! Edward will show you what to do.

[Edward grins at this]

Wilson: We won't let you down, Sir!

[Sir Topham Hatt starts to walk away but trips on a piece of rail on the ground as his assistants quickly catch him and help him to his feet]

Sir Topham Hatt: Eh! Oh! Yes, (clears throat) Um, uh, Really Useful! (chuckles nervously) Yes, right, carry on. (to his assistants) This way, lads. (walks away) Oh!

Koko: Sir Topham Hatt is definitely a lot more lively than Vee is.

[this leads Edward and James to share a laugh as Thomas and the chuggers then join in]
