Thomas & Friends: The Tales & Stories of Sodor (Hiatus)

S1 E7: Winter's Wonders.

Narrator: One morning, The engines were relaxing in the sheds when the men came out, The cold chilly air suddenly came in and they felt like it was very cold.

Percy: Bother this snow. It feels like it's going for years!

Alex: I don't mind the snow, It seems like it's not much of a bother.

Thomas: I really hate wearing my snowplow. It hurts and it's tight and uncomfortable.

Alicia: We got to do what we have to do. Hey, Where on earth is the works unit coach? Do I have to search for it now?

Gordon: No, It's Donald and Douglas. They both couple their tenders between the thing.

Alex: That's one way to move snow, We never have those issues. We don't even have snow at our railway.

Henry: Best advice: Don't get snowed under.

Alicia: Okay...? I better get my plow before pulling my express. I don't know why it is like this sometimes.

Emily: Well asides from that, You have to wait if your caught under snow to get help.

Eric: Who likes it anyway?

Thomas: Shitty white stuff. Hate being stuck.

Toby: Or try digging the snow out yourself.

Percy: Don't sleep outside during a blizzard. I had icicles on me and it was cold, Trust me.

Alex: Huh. Why can't I get my fire started for goodness sakes?

Alex's Driver: It's so cold and hollow inside... Hold on, Probably some fluid? Oh there we go.

Alex: Finally. Now I feel warm and comfy to start.

Narrator: Soon alex left the sheds and collected his heavy goods train he carried to Vicarstown's yard, As he was making up progress. He was pushing snow with his snowplow before coming up to Henry's tunnel where he noticed something was suddenly looking off...

Alex: Wow, This snow doesn't seem to be down hard. Too shameful I- WHOA SHIT!

Narrator: Alex then applied his brakes as he reached up Henry's tunnel. He skidded along with the ice before he stopped completely. He was surprised as it was nothing more than a thick white giant wall blocking the tunnel. Alex was amazed how he saw it.

Alex: Goodness me, It's gonna take me till christmas to get past this huge drift of bloody snow! I can't push all that aside but I guess we got to clear all this.. It's gonna be a while.

Narrator: Soon, Alex and his crew got to work. It felt like it wasn't gonna go away anytime soon, So they kept on pushing and pushing through. He was getting tired and he was getting more impatient, Alicia blew her whistle and puffed up behind him.

Alicia: Hey hon. What's wrong? You look tired and annoyed.

Alex: I am. Sorry Hon, It's just this big pile of snow is in the way.

Alicia: It's okay. If there is one thing we wonder with snow, We work through it together. Ready hon? 

Alex: I am ready honey, Whenever you are ready.

Alicia: Ready Hon! 1...2....3!

Narrator: The two of them charged at the snow drift and did cave in some snow, They both backed up and plowed into it again leaving a hole, They backed up again and the lovers engines charged right through it. Opening a hole and entering the tunnel.

Alex: We did it honey! It's broken through!

Alicia: Amazing! Now we can continue!

Narrator: Soon, The two trains began making their trip back as they noticed more and more snow as what Alex saw. Nothing but white sheets when they arrived at the yard where it seemed a little scuffle was going on.

Alex: What's going on here?

Samantha: Oh! Alex! There you are.

Thomas: We have a bit of a scuffle cause snow is jamming the points and James and Happ are stuck in that siding by themselves..

James: How fun, Damn you nature! Why us!

Happ: Eh, We have been through worse... Right? Right???

James: WORSE?! Snow is a pain! Look! Were stuck and-

Alicia: *Hears James Squabbling but focuses back on Thomas* My driver used to deal with this issue, Let him handle this. He's a master on breaking jammed points.

Thomas: Well consider me surprised. Go for it.

Alicia: Alright, Here we go.

Narrator: Soon, Alicia's driver got working on the frozen points as it took a while before they were fixed, Soon Alex and Alicia helped out Happ finish their goods in the yard before they all went back to tidmouth sheds for the discussion of snow.

Thomas: Well this is a one time thing every year for winter to come and move snow over.

Edward: Agreed, But I have my doubts that snow is bad. It's cold but for us it can be helpful.

Duck: I have to agree, The North western railways would always have trouble with it but we push through to success for our railway.

Edward: But that's our wonders, And the beauty of snow.

Alex: We all know one thing for sure, Snow might be magical and fun. But it always can cause some problems. Right everyone?

Alicia: Right. Snow is one way. Ice is another one to issue.

Thomas: Right as well Alex and Alicia. Snow is both fun and mean in it's way. *Laughs*

Narrator: All the engines chuckled as they said more about Snow and the winter of how they wonder around, Would snow be good or bad for you?
