Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure is a 2015 feature-length Thomas & Friends special. It is the tenth Thomas & Friends film overall. This movie and The Adventure Begins were both made to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the railway series.
Now without further ado, let's jump straight to the movie's plot.
It was a bright sunny day on the Island of Sodor, Thomas was working on his Branch Line with Annie and Clarabel. Thomas sees Bertie and races him but nearly gets into trouble along the way, narrowly avoiding rail work and nearly having a head-on collision with Toby when he passes a red signal, he races by. Bertie believes that he will win, due to him being in first place for most of the race, but his chances of winning become slim when he must slow down for Oliver the excavator, who is slowly trundling along the small countryside road. Thomas gets the upper hand in the race and Bertie finally gets past Oliver, who takes a shortcut.
When Thomas stops at Ffarquhar, he is very pleased with himself for winning, but Annie and Clarabel are not and scold him for racing, but he just ignores their scolding, remarking he has raced on his Branch Line for years. Bertie arrives at the Station, cross that he has lost, remarking that ever since the new Branch Line's Construction Site has started work, he has been held up by construction vehicles. Annie and Clarabel fear their Branch Line will be closed in Favour of the new one, but Thomas dismisses it. (The new Branch Line will run from Arlesburgh Harbour to Harwick).
Marion was on her way to work on the construction of The Fat Controller's new Branch Line. As she goes along the tracks, she sees something race past her and shuts her eyes believing she is seeing things. She bumps into Oliver's train and apologizes to him. A small red engine races up the chute with some hoppers, frightening Marion. Toad introduces Marion to Rex, Mike and Bert, three miniature engines. Marion is interested in the little engines' size, asking if they are real. A Cross Mike tells her they are real and that they deliver ballast, wool, and passengers for the big railway. Toad and Oliver then leave for the Construction Yard, just as a black engine raced past Marion.
