The Narrow Gauge Engines is a song from the eleventh season featured on the DVD, Engines and Escapades. It is dedicated to the engines on the Skarloey Railway.
Lyrics
- High up in the Sodor Hills
- Among the lakes and trees
- There are some very special friends
- Thomas likes to see
- They are the narrow gauge engines
- Running on narrow gauge track
- Friends like Rusty, Duncan,
- Fearless Freddie, Mighty Mac
- They've got their own Controller
- Mr. Percival is his name
- And 'though they're small, they're strong,
- And Really Useful just the same
- They're Sodor's best kept secret
- Who people hardly know
- Because they're small, they take the loads
- Where bigger trains can't go
- They work with James and Thomas
- At the transfer yard
- And 'though they're cute and friendly
- These engines work so hard
- They are the narrow gauge engines
- Running on narrow gauge track
- Skarloey, Peter Sam, Rheneas
- Sir Handel at the back
- They've got their own Controller
- Mr. Percival is his name
- And 'though they're small, they're strong,
- And Really Useful just the same
- Walkers, campers, fishermen
- To all of them they're friends
- Puffing proudly up the slopes
- And rattling round the bends
- They are the narrow gauge engines
- Running on narrow gauge track
- Friends like Rusty, Duncan,
- Fearless Freddie, Mighty Mac
- They've got their own Controller
- Mr. Percival is his name
- And 'though they're small, they're strong,
- And Really Useful just the same
- They are the narrow gauge engines
- Running on narrow gauge track
- Friends like Rusty, Duncan,
- Fearless Freddie, Mighty Mac
- They've got their own Controller
- Mr. Percival is his name
- And 'though they're small, they're strong,
- And Really Useful just the same
