Thomas drops off the part at Hiro's hideout and sets for home when he notices that the new summer house is dangerously close to where Hiro is hidden. Spencer rumbles past and does not see Thomas. Victor says it is only taking up space anyway, so Thomas rushes off with it.Īs he leaves, he hears Spencer behind him and quickly hides in a siding covered with trees. Thomas finishes his day's work and then comes by later to see if the parts are still there. Victor scolds him for rushing around, while Thomas notices some engine parts on a flatbed. Victor's assistant Kevin then drives clumsily over to Thomas and Victor. Gobsmacked, Spencer is then scolded by Victor for taking up space and sitting around chattering and leaves, while very cross about having been spoken to in such a manner. Spencer starts to boast, but Thomas simply congratulates him on his win. Thomas is soon repaired and then Spencer puffs into the Steamworks. One particular engine lives there is Victor, a kind and enthusiastic engine. The Steamworks is a busy, bustling place, with all sorts of work being done. Thomas later goes to the Sodor Steamworks to have his brakes mended. So instead, Thomas promises to not tell the Fat Controller until Hiro can be a Really Useful Engine once again. Thomas' immediate reaction is to tell the Fat Controller, but Hiro believes that the Fat Controller will scrap him if he finds out about Hiro. He was hidden to avoid scrap, but the parts never came from his island and he was quietly forgotten.
However, as the years went on, he began to show his age and Sodor did not have the necessary parts to repair him. Sodor was nothing like his old home, but he was quite content. Hiro tells how he once worked on another island far away and how he was known as the "Master of the Railway." He sailed to Sodor on a big ship. Thomas is amazed and asks Hiro what he is doing there. After stopping, Thomas finds an old, abandoned engine named Hiro.
Then the inevitable happens - Thomas' brakes fail and he thunders down the hill and along the main line until he races onto a rickety, old track. Spencer draws ahead while Thomas struggles up a hill with his load. Spencer and Thomas race across the Island. Thomas and Spencer are coupled to their heavy loads and Edward whistles to announce the start of the race. All of the engines gather in the yard to wish Thomas good luck. Spencer then challenges Thomas to a race to take place at dawn the next day. Thomas is fed up and the other engines agree with him. The next morning, at Brendam Docks, Spencer teases Thomas about his size and strength. That night, all of the engines are tired and cross because they have all been teased by Spencer. Needless to say, nobody is pleased with the news, especially when Spencer rushes around with his work, teasing the other engines. It turns out that he is staying for the summer to help the Duke and Duchess build their summer house. Halfway through their conversation, Spencer arrives. All of the engines soon have similar experiences and gather at Knapford to figure out what is going on. Thomas is taking on water when an engine rushes past.
