Thomas the Tank Engine meets Gordon's brother, the Flying Scotsman, who is taking part in the Great Railway Show on the Mainland and encourages Thomas to try and take part as well. Although every engine on Sodor wants to take part, Sir Topham Hatt has not made up his mind yet, and Thomas fears he won't be picked to go to the competition.
The Earl says that he has a "special job" for Stephen but warns Thomas not to tell him just yet. However, upon his restoration, Thomas tells Stephen about the special job to boost his spirits. As expected, Stephen gets very excited and starts searching Sodor for his new job. Upon learning of an abandoned mine below Ulfstead, he heads there.
