Thomas: I wanted to be repainted.

Ashima chuffs down the line, with Annie and Clarabel. Thomas follows them.

Thomas: I thought the Fat Controller would take me to the Railway Show if I was decorated in some special way.

Ashima: (puzzled) What do you mean, Thomas? You mean, like me?

Thomas: (hesitantly) No, not like you. Well, yes. Sort of.

Ashima: (giggles) You are a very funny little tank engine! (starts singing) Every engine that I ever knew. Was at least a little different from the others. And some of were very, very different too. Even from their sisters or their brothers. You can only be you, there's nothing else you can possibly do It's plain to me that you're trying too hard So instead just be who you are

Thomas: I don't wanna be me!

Ashima: You wish you could be faster, bigger, stronger You wish you could have more than six small wheels You think if you were just a little longer You'd have that Railway Show appeal

Thomas: (singing) Of course! Every bit of me is short and stumpy! My funnel and my boiler and my dome! Can't you see my paintwork's old and frumpy? That's why I'll be the one who's left at home. Why do I have to be me? Is this what I'm really meant to be? Break me, shake me, take me all apart. There has to be a better place to start.

Ashima: Every bit of you is neat and tidy There's nothing that you need to rearrange If you ask me, you're completely bona-fide What makes you think there's anything to change?

The Great Railway Show Judge: With a ga to the unusual events join the final moments of the shunting challenge, we would like to declared there to be two winners! (laughs) Ashima the Tank Engine from India for competing the challenge in the fastest time. And, in life of the sacrifice an events years made to help another engine, Thomas the Tank Engine from Sodor!

Ashima: Congratulations, Thomas!

Thomas: (laughing) Congratulations to you, too!

Sir Topham Hatt: (furious) THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE!!! I didn't relize that you

Thomas: (desperately) I only came

Sir Topham Hatt: (shocked) You mean,
