Dialogue
edit- Thomas: Look at that green engine from the other railway, he's built on the Mainland's railway, you know, and once, a long time ago, he goes back across with the other famous engines from Sodor.
- Flying Scotsman: I don't believe there are famous engines on Sodor. [sees Gordon] Oh, hello, Gordon.
- Thomas: Do you two know each other?
- Gordon: Yes, Thomas, we know each other, this is my brother, his name is the Flying Scotsman.
- Flying Scotsman: Indeed they do, it almost makes me sound famous. [winks at Thomas] Hello Gordon, listen to me, I'm taking part at the Great Railway Show on the Mainland, I shall be racing.
- [Gordon gasps]
- Thomas: The Great Railway Show? What's that?
- Flying Scotsman: The Great Railway Show is where engines compete to see who can be the fast engine or the strong engine, or what have you, but I'm not sure if any engines from Sodor are coming.
- Gordon: I wouldn't want to go anyway, not if it's full of engines like you always boasting about how exciting things are on the Mainland.
- Thomas: Well, i want to go!
- Flying Scotsman: Of course you do, Thomas, and with any luck, maybe you shall. Flying Scotsman, coming through!
- Thomas: [sees a big blue engine up ahead] Gordon? Gordon! [puffs up to the big blue engine and whistles] Thanks goodness I've found… [notices that the big blue engine is actually a female] Look at you, you're not Gordon.
- Frieda: [scoffs; in a German accent] My name is Frieda. [whistles and puffs away]
