Speaker Dialogue
The episode begins one morning in Arlesburgh West Shed. Mike, Rex, Bert, Jock, and Frank are all there when Mr. Fergus Duncan arrives.
Fergus Duncan Good morning engines. Rex, I need you to collect wool from the farmers along the line and take it to market.
Rex Yes, Sir.
Mike (chuckles) Be careful, Rex. You don’t want to have an accident like last time.
(Rex huffs and puffs away. We now see him puffing down the line pulling a full train of wool. Unbeknownst to him, he gets switched down the wrong line. He continues to puff down the overgrown line.
Rex I don’t think I’ve ever been down this line before.
Finally, Rex comes to a point where his line meets the NWR at an old, boarded up tunnel entrance.
Rex Hmm, what’s this? I’ll have to tell the others about it.
The scene changes to Arlesburgh West. Mike, Bert, Duck, and the Slip Coaches are there when Rex puffs in with his train of wool.
Mike Running late, Rex?
Rex I got sent down the wrong line and ended up at an old boarded up tunnel. And your line met it, too, Duck.
Bert An old boarded up tunnel?
Rex That's what I said.
Duck Must be the old Crystal Island tunnel.
Bert Crystal Island tunnel?
Duck There’s an island, not too far from our own, where they mine gemstones. Us engines used to travel to the island ourselves, because the island and it’s railway had no engines of its own. But, ever since they got their own engines, the tunnel has been boarded up, and the gemstones now come to the jewelry factories by ship.
Rex Maybe we should unblock the tunnel. I’m sure it would be more economically efficient for us to go back and forth than to have to pay for ships to bring things.
Fergus Duncan
(off screen)
You're right, Rex.
The camera pans to the station platform, where Fergus Duncan stands.
Fergus Duncan I was just talking to Sir Topham about the tunnel and he agrees. So, I want you to be the first to go through it. And, Duck, Sir Topham would like you to go as well. As soon as you’re done with your train, that is.
Rex/
Duck
Yes, Sir.
The scene changes to later that day at the Crystal Island tunnel. The wooden boards have all been removed. Duck and Rex puff up to the tunnel.
Duck Duck
Rex As ready as I'll ever be.
The two puff into the tunnel. The scene then changes to the other side. We see Garnet and Bismuth both puff side by side past the tunnel entrance with trains of 7 plank trucks. As Duck and Rex emerge from the tunnel, Lapis and Topaz puff over to them.
Lapis Hello, there! You must be the Sodor engines. I'm Lapis.
Topaz And I'm Topaz. Welcome to Crystal Island.
Lapis We'll take you to collect your trains.
Lapis and Topaz lead Rex and Duck to the Crystal Island Shunting Yard. Amethyst is just shunting a brake van onto Duck's train when they arrive. Rex and Duck are coupled to their trains and puff away as the episode ends.
