One day, the Fat Controller had sent Philip to work at the docks, and when he got there, he was bumping trucks all over the place. Porter could see Philip shunting and pulled up alongside him. "Woah! Steady there." he said "You could cause an accident." "Oh, sorry!" said Philip "I'm just '''so''' excited to work here, I haven't worked here in a while." Porter laughed "I know you haven't, Philip." he said "But we have work to do. Now come on!" "Okay!" said Philip and he got to work.

Philip had shunted a goods train for an engine to collect it and that engine was Murdoch, Philip gasped when he saw how big Murdoch was, he was long, he had orange paintwork and ten drive wheels. Philip quickly grew excited "Wow!" he said "I've never seen a engine like that before." Philip then looked at the nameplate on the side of Murdoch. "So, his name is Murdoch?" he said "It must be!" Then Philip had an idea. "I know!" he said "Maybe I could talk to him." and he went to pull up alongside Murdoch. Murdoch however was enjoying the peace and quiet then Philip pulled up alongside him "Hello Murdoch!" said Philip cheerily. "My name's Philip! I love racing! I love racing! Oh, and didn't you hear the race I had with Gordon? and guess what... I won!" Murdoch just rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Can you please be quiet?" he asked. "I can't stop to talk as I have to take this goods train to the Other Railway and Murdoch puffed away, leaving a down Philip behind.

Murdoch was chuffing happily through the countryside, he was enjoying the peace and quiet as he chuffed through Henry's Tunnel, as he was approaching the Vicarstown Bridge, he saw Hiro taking a goods train to the yards. "Hello Murdoch." said Hiro. "Hello Hiro." said Murdoch. "Isn't it a lovely day?" asked Hiro "Yes indeed!" said Murdoch, but he didn't look happy. Hiro could see the expression on Murdoch's face. "What's wrong, Murdoch?" asked the wise Japanese engine. Murdoch sighed "Today I met this boxy engine at the docks today, he's so chatty and he never stops talking." said the orange tender engine. Hiro chuckled. "Well Murdoch." he said "That's what little engines like that do." "I know!" said Murdoch. "But they can get so irritating sometimes." "I agree with you Murdoch." said Hiro. "Anyway, I can't stop to talk, as I have to take this train to Knapford Yards. I'll see you later." and Hiro puffed away and Murdoch went on his way to the Other Railway.

Meanwhile, Philip was shunting in the yards, he kept thinking about Murdoch. "That engine is amazing." said Philip to himself. "He is very strong, like me." but Philip wasn't really strong, he just likes to show the other engines that he can be. Then Philip heard a whistle, he knew who it was, he started to become more excited. "It's him!" he said. Murdoch had chuffed into the yard to collect another train so he could take it to the docks and Philip had to shunt his train for him, but Philip was too excited to do his job and he raced over to Murdoch. "Hey Murdoch!" cried Philip "Look at me, I'm very strong." and he coupled up to a long line of empty trucks. "Look how many trucks I have!" but Murdoch rolled his eyes. "I don't care how many trucks you've got and just please shunt my train." cried out Murdoch "Oh... okay." said Philip and he shunted Murdoch's goods train for him, Murdoch puffed away leaving Philip sad and down.

That evening, Murdoch backed into Knapford Sheds, he was thinking about Philip because of how chatty he was, Harvey saw the unhappy expression on his face, he cocked an eyebrow. "What's wrong, Murdoch?" asked Harvey, Murdoch sighed "Today I met this diesel boxcab and he is so irritating." he explained. Harvey understood Murdoch. "I see," said the crane engine "I'm sure Philip won't be annoying you if you stay doing your jobs all day." This gave Murdoch an idea "Harvey, you're right, I will stay doing my jobs tomorrow." he said. Harvey was pleased his plan had worked.

The next morning, Murdoch woke up so he could do his jobs, he arrived at the docks, the Fat Controller was there. "Murdoch," he said "I want you to take a goods train to the Other Railway." "Yes sir." said Murdoch and he chuffed away to the yards. Murdoch arrived at the yards and he waited for Sidney to shunt his train.

"Sorry Murdoch!" said Sidney "I forgot where your goods train was." Murdoch just rolled his eyes and puffed away quickly "Wait a minute, who just raced away from me?" thought Sidney. Murdoch was chuffing along the line as fast as he could, he wanted to make sure that Philip wasn't around "Philip isn't here." he said to himself. "Well, I'm fine." said Murdoch and he continued his way.

Philip was sent to the docks again that night and now he had to shunt the Flying Kipper for Henry, but Philip couldn't find the Flying Kipper anywhere and Henry had already arrived, Henry could see that the Flying Kipper wasn't there. "Come on, Philip!" said Henry "I need to pull the Flying Kipper or else I'm going to be late." Philip had finally found the Flying Kipper. "Here you go Henry." said Philip "Finally!" said Henry "I can deliver the fish." and he chuffed away. However, Philip was still thinking about Murdoch however.

The next day, Philip was back at the yards again, he was very sad, Stanley was shunting trucks nearby and he could see Philip looking sad, he wanted to know why. "What's wrong, Philip?" asked Stanley "You're usually bright and cheery, not down and miserable." Philip sighed "It's Murdoch." he said "I'm trying to be his friend, but he doesn't seem to like me." said the diesel boxcab. Stanley could see Philip's problem. "Philip!" exclaimed Stanley "The reason why Murdoch doesn't like you is probably because as you're a boisterous little boxcab, Murdoch is a quiet and peaceful tender engine." he explained. "What! Really?" asked Philip "Yes!" said Stanley "Sorry Philip, but I can't stop to talk to you." he said "I have shunting to do, I'll see you later Philip." and Stanley carried on shunting. Philip also carried on shunting all day still thinking about Murdoch.

A while later, Philip saw Murdoch resting in a siding. "There he is." said Philip and he raced up alongside him. "Hello Murdoch." said Philip quietly, Murdoch sighed "Oh, it's you again." he muttered "What do you want?" Philip took a deep breath and sighed. "Murdoch!" said Philip "I was just asking, but can we be friends?" asked the little boxcab. Murdoch smiled and laughed "Oh, Philip, I am your friend." he said. Philip was confused "Really?" he asked confusedly "Yes of course." said Murdoch "The reason why I didn't want to talk to you is because you were being very chatty and loud and I prefer the peace and quiet." said the big orange engine "I know." said Philip "I can be quiet too you know." he said "I know!" said Murdoch "Now I have to take a goods train to the yard at Tidmouth station, can you shunt my goods train for me please?" asked Murdoch "Yeah, sure." said Philip and he raced away to fetch Murdoch's goods train. Philip had shunted Murdoch's goods train for him and Murdoch chuffed away.

Philip and Murdoch are now good friends, they talk to each other every time they meet, even if Philip was being a bit too loud. "Hello Murdoch!" said Philip "Goodbye Murdoch!" Murdoch rolled his eyes and smiled. "Goodbye Murdoch! GOODBYE!!" shouted Philip as he raced into the distance far away.

Plot

Philip is a cheery little diesel boxcab, he loves racing against other engines, and once he had a race with Gordon the big engine and he won it, Philip has told lots of engines this already, but to Gordon, he finds it too irritating to listen to.

One day, the Fat Controller had sent Philip to work at the docks, and when he got there, he was bumping trucks all over the place. Porter could see Philip shunting and pulled up alongside him. "Woah! Steady there." he said "You could cause an accident." "Oh, sorry!" said Philip "I'm just so excited to work here, I haven't worked here in a while." Porter laughed "I know you haven't, Philip." he said "But we have work to do. Now come on!" "Okay!" said Philip and he got to work.

Philip had shunted a goods train for an engine to collect it and that engine was Murdoch, Philip gasped when he saw how big Murdoch was, he was long, he had orange paintwork and ten drive wheels. Philip quickly grew excited "Wow!" he said "I've never seen a engine like that before." Philip then looked at the nameplate on the side of Murdoch. "So, his name is Murdoch?" he said "It must be!" Then Philip had an idea. "I know!" he said "Maybe I could talk to him." and he went to pull up alongside Murdoch. Murdoch however was enjoying the peace and quiet then Philip pulled up alongside him "Hello Murdoch!" said Philip cheerily. "My name's Philip! I love racing! I love racing!
