Detailed Summary
The video begins with Thomas waking up optimistic, inspired by the thought that he could achieve anything if he could run as fast as the Flying Scotsman. He imagines being streamlined, a concept he believes would make him faster and more aerodynamic. A musical sequence follows where Thomas sings about the advantages of streamlining, describing it as a way to become slinky, slicker, and swifter, contrasting this with the limitations of his current tank engine design. Later, Thomas approaches Sir Topham Hatt with a proposal to have an engine streamlined to win races at the Great Railway Show. Sir Topham Hatt agrees that it is an excellent idea but decides that Gordon, rather than Thomas, is the one who should be streamlined to become faster than ever. The scene shifts to the busy Brendam Docks where Thomas, still upset about the decision, vents his frustration to Diesel. He complains that Sir Topham Hatt refused to streamline him, joking that a streamlined Tank Engine would be a sight to see.
