00:00The island of Sodor is a wonderful place. Thomas enjoys puffing all over the island.
00:11There are lots of special places to visit. Where's this?
00:18That's right, it's Knapford Station.
00:24Every day is a busy day at Knapford. Carriages rattle and roll, and passengers and porters pack the platforms.
00:35Knapford Station is also a place for special events.
00:40One day, the Fat Controller presented Gordon with special coaches. Gordon had set a new record for pulling the express.
00:50Then Emily arrived with a special prize for diesel. He had set a new record too.
00:57He had shunted more trucks than any other diesel. Everyone cheered.
01:05Knapford Station is also a place where races are started.
01:10Once, Spencer arrived. He boasted that he was faster than all the Sodor engines.
01:19Then the Fat Controller announced that he had a special for Edward.
01:23Edward was to take the Duke and Duchess' furniture to their summer house. Spencer wanted to have a race.
01:31Edward was worried.
01:34Spencer's bigger boiler only means more hot air, tooted Thomas.
01:39And by the end of the day, Edward proved that he could win the race.
01:46Knapford Station is also very special for one engine, and that's Thomas.
01:53It was the day of the Fat Controller's mother's birthday party.
01:58All Thomas' ideas for her celebration had gone wrong.
02:03Then Thomas had his best idea ever.
02:07He would have the party for Dowager Hat at Knapford Station.
02:12The station never looked more wonderful.
02:17There were flags and flowers and fine food.
02:22Thomas gave one toot, and then one after the other.
02:28All the engines hooted and tooted and whistled and blew,
02:35Happy birthday to you!
02:38Dowager Hat smiled from ear to ear.
02:42Thomas thought this was his best idea yet.
02:47So that's why Knapford Station is a very special place for Thomas.
02:55There are so many special places on the island of Sodor.
03:00Next time, Thomas will show us somewhere else.
