Storyline
Thomas is to take some visitors around the Island with Sir Topham Hatt. He sets off, a little too quickly so Sir Topham Hatt lets Thomas know he should slow down before continuing on his journey. Thomas reaches Brendam Docks to let the visitors take pictures, as he acknowledges Bulstrode and Cranky working hard at the docks.

Thomas is eager to get pictures for the visitors, but is going too quickly approaching a busy crossing, so Sir Topham Hatt gives Thomas information to slow down at the busy crossing. Thomas reaches the quarry and fills up on coal, before continuing on, as he gets ready to race up the hill to the Scottish Castle. As he races up the hill, Sir Topham Hatt tells Thomas to slow down on the hills and he does.

Thomas notices a deer and tries desperately to get closer, but accidentally startles the deer, ruining the pictures for the visitors and so now he carries on his journey. Thomas is getting sick of going slowly, but Sir Topham Hatt says that he can do it, he just has to persevere.

He gets through the trouble and carries on to the Culdee Fell to give the viewers some nice pictures of the best features of the railway, as he carries on and leaves the Fell behind. Thomas finally comes to the realisation that sometimes, going slow is not all that bad, when the Fat Controller told him and he agreed, as the story comes to a conclusion.
