Show Time

Show Time is a magazine story.

Plot
A circus has arrived on the Island of Sodor and all of the engines are excited. Daisy is the first engine to see the circus grounds. She sees clowns, jugglers, trapeze artists and acrobats rehearsing.

At the sheds, Daisy shares what she had seen with the other engines. Diesel thinks it all sounded boring, but Thomas is amazed. The next day, Bertie arrives with three passengers; the acrobats from the circus. They have come to stick circus posters up at the station.

Suddenly, Gordon lets off a big puff of steam which blows the guard's scarf onto the station's roof. The guard is about to fetch a ladder, when the acrobats offer to retrieve the scarf. They carefully stand on each other's shoulders and soon the scarf is returned to the guard. All the engines are very impressed and even Diesel has to agree that it was spectacular.
