Looks like we are in for more Cranky fun. Today he is bitching at Percy for being late. Percy explains that he has been running late due to to all the work to do on the island. Cranky suggests that the engines should be replaced by lorries or trucks, for us Americans. Percy's eyes nearly rolled out of his head over the shock of such a suggestion.
Don't worry there little guy, you can work on a Heritage Railroad.
Percy heads off to spread to gospel of Cranky to the other engines at the shed. They all dismiss Percy's fear. Unlike Percy, the know the show is called Thomas The Tank Engine and they aren't going anywhere.
Soon enough, Percy's fears come true, 3 lorries appear. They were being unloaded from a ship in the harbor.
Flying lorries!
Cranky nearly pees himself with glee over this. Percy arrives to be loaded up. Cranky starts to mock Percy that his job is gone. He then informs Percy that one of the lorries would like to have chat with him
The Lorry calls Percy a steaming pile of scrap iron and shoos him away. Percy was the most upset at being called this and rolls off.
You know he is a bad ass with his whiskers.
Percy then later sees Thomas and James. Another one of the lorries was laying into them. The lorry then turns his attention to Percy. He calls him a little green goblin on wheels and states that he will be scrapped. The lorry the drives off.
Thomas starts to complain over the rudeness of the lorry. James agrees.
Someone should put sugar in his tank.
Meanwhile with little Toby, a lorry has arrived to harass him too. The lorry points out that Toby should be a museum. Toby replies with the very useful engine line we all know. The Lorry in which tells him to tootle along. Toby's driver breaks it up and sends Toby to the flour mill.
This is the angriest I ever seen Toby.
At the flour mill, Toby had found that he has been replaced there too. His driver decides to head out to the farms. He has an idea that they will be needed and loved there.
Toby's railway runs through a gorge. While Toby could go through, vehicles have to take a long winding road around. Toby had arrived at the gorge, he sees the lorry from the quarry with a load of rocks on the pass. The lorry was out of control. The lorry then drives off the road.
Toby's reaction was priceless.
I hope they don't pin me.
The lorry's driver was thrown from the vehicle. He obviously was not wearing a seat belt. How he survived is a good question.
He could have also been drunk too.
The lorry was taken to the docks to be recycled into a soda can, I presume. Percy sees the lorry at the dock and teases the lorry about being a steaming pile of scrap. The lorry insists he'll make a comeback.
Butch the tow truck, arrives with the lorry at the flour mill. Turns out this lorry had broke down from being overloaded.
James arrives whistling, he had seen the third lorry on the barge. This one had reversed himself into the sea.
Thomas then arrives to laugh at their misfortune. He calls them the "Brothers Grimm".
I would have called them, The Dip Shits.
The lorries never returned to the island. They are now being drank from and then recycled again. Maybe, one day they'll turn into an airplane and return.
