Скачать или смотреть Gordon Takes a Dip (Off The Rails) GC Remake

One morning, Gordon is resting in a siding, while noting to himself that being an important engine can sometimes be very tiring. Henry suddenly pulls up, rudely waking Gordon with his whistle and calls him names. Gordon is very cross, believing that an engine like him, who has never had an accident, should be respected. Then, Percy comes and asks Gordon if jammed whistles and burst safety valves count as accidents. Gordon denies it, saying that those things could happen to any engine, unlike Henry who actually came off the rails from his accident with the Flying Kipper.

Later. it is Henry's turn to take the Express and as he prepares to leave, Gordon warns him not to come off the rails, much to the green engine's annoyance. After Henry leaves, Gordon tries to go back to sleep, but is soon awakened by his driver who tells him that he is to pull a special train. Gordon asks if it's coaches or freight cars, but becomes angry when he learns it is cars, as he would rather take coaches. Gordon's fire is unable to burn right away, so Edward pushes him to the turntable to be turned around. Gordon complains the whole way and Edward rebukes him. At last, the blue engines reach the turntable and the movement had shaken Gordon's fire, which was now burning nicely and making steam. As the turntable rotates, Gordon is so cross that he is willing to do anything to get out of taking the special, regardless of the consequences. When the table is halfway round, he moves slowly forward in an attempt to jam it like the last time, but he is unable to stop and slides down some old rails into a marshy ditch. Gordon is horrified and shouts for someone to get him out, but his crew sternly refuse, telling him that he is stuck.

In his office, Sir Topham Hatt receives a phone call from Gordon's crew who tell him all that has happened. Seeing Gordon from his window, he orders to have Edward to take the special train instead and leave Gordon where he is for now so that he can learn a lesson. Meanwhile, some little boys come by, see Gordon's predicament and tease him with a rhyme, leaving him humiliated. Gordon stays in the ditch all day, wondering if he will ever get out. But late that night, a rescue team finally comes and after some extensive work removing his tender, preparing a road of sleepers to keep his wheels out of the mud, cables are then hooked to Gordon's back end and he is soon pulled out by James and Henry. Afterwards, a filthy and disgraced Gordon crawls back to the shed, a much sadder and wiser engine from his experience.
