Plot
One day, The Fat Controller is at Brendam Docks with a new engine there. The engine introduces herself and her name is Molly with a big tender for her coal, shiny wheels, and a sparkling funnel. The Fat Controller then tells her to learn the lines of the island and Molly puffs away.

Soon, Molly is puffing along the line through the countryside. She loves seeing the sights and hearing the sound of the birds singing, knowing she has never seen a railway like this then she hears a whistle and heads on to see who it is. It belongs to James who is just going back to work. When he has gone, Molly looks around but no one is there and she puffs away, feeling worried.

At the next station, Gordon is just waiting for his passengers to climb aboard his express coaches and sets off, just as Molly arrives and hopping there will be someone there this time, but the station is empty and no one answers. Molly then puffs sadly away, hoping she is not alone as she hates being alone. She puffs past the field where James had his accident and then Molly sees smoke rising above trees and she blows her whistle as loud as she can. It is Percy who is pulling the mail train, is waiting at the red signal, while Percy is paying attention to Molly’s whistle and thinking about the trip to the mountain village. The signal drops and he sets off and then he hears the whistle again. He wants to know who it was from, but he does not want to be late and disappears into a tunnel. Molly arrives at the junction to see it is empty, she looks left and then right but no one is there at all.
