==Plot Summary==
+
==Plot==
  +
Henry is taking a goods train to the Mainland, but a faulty signal at Vicarstown causes him to crash into the back of Hiro's train and derailing over the edge of the bridge.
Determined to prove his importance on Sodor, Thomas takes James' trucks and sets off on a big adventure to the Mainland. On the way he makes friends with the cheerful and helpful "Experimental Engines," but after a wrong turn, he finds himself lost in the steelworks. There, Thomas encounters two mysterious engines who instantly make him feel welcome, but who are not what they first seem.
 
   
  +
Thomas the Tank Engine is happily going down his branchline with Annie and Clarabel, but as he enters Knapford, a cheery James the Red Engine begins to boast about him being the Fat Controller's favourite engine, which Thomas heavily disagrees with. James then calls everyone's attention in the station and allows Thomas to explain how he is more important, but before he can, James continues about himself before departing. Thomas is still fuming over James' boasting as he collects pigs from Farmer Trotter's farm, and James passes with the Sodor Brass Band.
After Thomas fails to return, James sets off to the Mainland, but runs into trouble himself and so it is up to Thomas and the Experimental Engines to save the day.
 
  +
  +
At Vicarstown, Henry is re-railed and brought to the Steamworks for repairs. The Fat Controller starts to shuffle through his engines in order to find a replacement for Henry, and eventually settles on James taking the train, while Thomas continues his work. Thomas overhears this and decides to tease James about it, but he quickly realises that the goods train is bound for the Mainland, making him dismiss the fact that the train consits of trucks, calling it "special". Thomas goes to complain to the Fat Controller about James always taking important jobs, to which he remarks that every job is important, ranging from the mail train, the Flying Kipper and Thomas' branchline. At the sheds that night, Thomas mentions the issue for Percy, who does not comment on it before departing to take the mail train, but acknowledges to have heard Thomas. As James arrives at the sheds, Thomas gets an idea.
  +
  +
Early next morning, James arrives at the Vicarstown yards and searches for Henry's train. When he cannot find it, he asks Rosie where it is, who tells him that Thomas came early to pick it up, much to James' surprise. In the meantime, Thomas excitedly crosses the Vicarstown Bridge over to the Mainland. James arrives at the Steamworks to inform the Fat Controller about Thomas, but he does not seem to be bothered, and asks James to work on Thomas' branchline in his absence.
  +
  +
As Thomas crosses a viaduct over to the Mainland, he takes in the sites, but the Troublesome Trucks continue to tease him, and he tries to make them quiet. As they approach a junction, they continue to tease him and comment that he is lost. With all the noise around him, coupled with the trucks' teasing, it becomes too much for him just as the trucks push him through a tunnel.
  +
  +
Back on Sodor, James' excessive speeding and continues misses of platforms, starts to annoy Annie and Clarabel, who also pray that Thomas will return soon.
  +
  +
On the Mainland, Thomas arrives at a canal, before a crane loads a boat on to the tracks, blocking him from continuing. He asks who he is and asks him to tell more about himself, which Thomas does. When it is proven to be not enough, Thomas improvises his explanation, all the while the Troublesome Trucks tease him for being lost. Thomas eventually decides to change tracks in order to get past the crane, who introduces himself as Beresford, much to his dismay.
  +
  +
Thomas continues onto what seems to be an old line covered in trees, but soon realises that he has run out of coal and water. He comes to a halt at the entrance of a yard, where he meets Lexi and Theo, two experimental engines. He asks them if they know the way to Bridlington, which they say they do not. He then asks them if they could help with coal and water, which they confirm, and lead him to the water tower and coal chute, although not being able to move, Theo is asked by Lexi to tow him. Despite them offering him to stay, Thomas determinedly heads out to find Bridlington. Sometime later, he arrives at the Steelworks, where he is greeted by Frankie and Hurricane. The latter puts his trucks in a siding before the two introduce him to their workplace and their duties. After having tried it out himself, Thomas tries to leave, but they ask him to stay, since it is already late.
  +
  +
At Tidmouth Sheds, Percy voices his concern for Thomas' absence, but James doesn't care about Thomas and think Thomas got lost on the Mainland, [[Down the Mine|fell down a mine]], or [[Thomas Comes to Breakfast|crashed into a stationmaster's house]]. But the engines were very furious at James, and he blames it on Thomas himself.
  +
  +
At the Mainland Steelworks, Thomas awoken by Hurricane and is quickly rushed back to work. Singing joyfully as he does so, Thomas accidentally backs some trucks into another, causing a spill. Hurricane warns him to be careful, citing that the substance could melt an engine's wheels.
  +
  +
On Sodor, James approaches the Fat Controller and asks if he could go to the Mainland to search for Thomas. The Fat Controller praises his proposal, but notes that he cannot spare another engine and that he will continue his work on Thomas' branchline. Percy cheers him up and says that he tried.
  +
  +
At the Steelworks, Frankie and Hurricane prepare to head out with a delivery, and Thomas notes that he should return home to Sodor, but Frankie insists that he should continue to help them. She also asks him to shunt some trucks and have things sorted by the time they return. Reluctantly continuing to work, Thomas begins to grow homesick and begins to reminisce about his friends and how he wanted an adventure to the Mainland. He then spots an old siding, which he decides to head down, only to find himself derailing on old tracks.
  +
  +
On Thomas' branchline, James grows impatient with some sheep who have stopped on the rails. Annie and Clarabel advise him to wait for the farmer to shoo them away, which James does not want to do and proposes to blow his whistle. Just as he is about to do so, Farmer McColl arrives and shoos the sheep away from the rails.
  +
  +
Later that evening, Frankie and Hurricane return and pull Thomas back on the rails. He also reluctantly accepts to continue to work and help them. That night at Tidmouth Sheds, Percy proposes that James could go to the Mainland to search for Thomas, and says that he could be a hero. At first James is reluctant, but suddenly likes the idea, before heading off into to the night to find Thomas. At the same time, Thomas uses the rain, thunder and lightning as a cover in an attempt to escape the Steelworks. Despite some of the noise, in combination with the weather, wakes Frankie and Hurricane temporarily, Thomas continues his escape attempt. When pushing open the gates does not work, he decides to get some flatbeds with pipes to push through with. With a few tries, he eventually succeeds just as Frankie and Hurricane are awoken again and chase after him. Thomas finds a siding into a forest, and stops there for the night. While there, he meets a new voice, who claims to be a stealth engine. He explains that he can be invisible, and urges Thomas to close his eyes and do the same. However, the next morning, Thomas cannot regain contact with him.
  +
  +
James arrives at Bridlington yards and asks around if anyone has seen Thomas, which none of the diesel shunters have. The Troublesome Trucks from Henry's train eventually tell him that they were brought to the yards by Hurricane, and confirm that Thomas did pull them. James tries to ask for Hurricane, but the shunters ignore him.
  +
  +
Thomas returns to the experimental engines' yard, where he asks them if they can help him back to Sodor, which they say they cannot. Lexi and Theo then explain how they were made and how they cannot do anything. Shortly afterwards, Merlin reveals himself, and is more positive in helping Thomas, but Lexi and Theo discourage him to do so. Despite this, he insists that they can try. Thomas decides to head out without them, and returns to the canal, where a curious Beresford wants to continue their previous conversation, and picks him off the rails, expressing that he wants them to be friends. Thomas advises him that he should not force someone to be his friend, but rather make them like him to then become his friend. In addition, he tries to ask him to put him down again, but just then, Hurricane and Frankie pass by with James, and Thomas asks Beresford to hide him before they pass. After they pass by, Merlin arrives and praises his choice of hiding. Thomas tells Beresford the urgency of now rescuing James, and is finally put down on the rails again.
  +
  +
At the Steelworks, Hurricane and Frankie pull the same introduction to James as they did Thomas, but after some time, James confronts them about Thomas, but despite his efforts, they force him to work with them.
  +
  +
At the experimental engines' yard, Thomas, Lexi, Theo and Merlin put together a plan to save James, with Lexi and Theo to cause a distraction while Thomas sneaks in to rescue James and Merlin to be the lookout. The distraction works and temporarily draws Frankie and Hurricane from the Steelworks, allowing Thomas to sneak inside looking for James. But Merlin, becoming uneasy of Thomas' whereabouts, begins to sneak inside himself, but a nervous Theo manages to give him away and a chase into the Steelworks ensues.
  +
  +
Thomas eventually finds James and desperately encourages him to join him escaping, which he is more then happy to do. As he reverses, his trucks block Hurricane's path as he speeds past Merlin and derails the trucks. Thomas urges James to take the track around the Steelworks just as they narrowly avoid Frankie. James instead heads inside the Steelworks and tries to hide from Frankie and Hurricane. However, they discover him with a spotlight and the chase continues. Hurricane attempts to block his path with trucks, but Theo and Thomas push them back, allowing James to pass. However, the trucks derail and activates a magnet, which picks up Thomas and hovers him above a cauldron of magma. Theo tries to save him by pulling back the lever with the derailed trucks, but it has the opposite effect, dropping Thomas towards the cauldron. Just in the last second, another crane arm jolts Thomas away from the cauldron and almost lands him back on the rails, but causes a truck to spill. Hurricane rushes forward and pushes Thomas out of the way just as the magma reaches his own wheels, causing them to melt. A now helpless Frankie breaks down and explains how they just wanted someone to help them and not to be alone. Thomas then suggests that they could help them, encouraging Lexi and Theo to do the same, citing that the most important thing is being friends. The experimental engines help Frankie and Hurricane, while Thomas and James reconcile as they head back to Sodor. Back at Tidmouth Sheds, the other engines are happy to see them return, including the Fat Controller. Henry, having simultaneously finished being repaired at the Steamworks, arrives and asks if he has missed anything.

This article is about the special. You may be looking for the Sticker Activity Book, the storybook or the Golden Book.

“Think positively, Lexi! Ask yourself what can you do!"
"You mean, anything?"
"Uh, no, we can't do anything..."
"But we can try!”
― Thomas, Lexi, Theo and Merlin

Journey Beyond Sodor is a 2017 feature-length Thomas & Friends special. It is the thirteenth Thomas & Friends film overall.

Plot

Henry is taking a goods train to the Mainland, but a faulty signal at Vicarstown causes him to crash into the back of Hiro's train and derailing over the edge of the bridge.

Thomas the Tank Engine is happily going down his branchline with Annie and Clarabel, but as he enters Knapford, a cheery James the Red Engine begins to boast about him being the Fat Controller's favourite engine, which Thomas heavily disagrees with. James then calls everyone's attention in the station and allows Thomas to explain how he is more important, but before he can, James continues about himself before departing. Thomas is still fuming over James' boasting as he collects pigs from Farmer Trotter's farm, and James passes with the Sodor Brass Band.

At Vicarstown, Henry is re-railed and brought to the Steamworks for repairs. The Fat Controller starts to shuffle through his engines in order to find a replacement for Henry, and eventually settles on James taking the train, while Thomas continues his work. Thomas overhears this and decides to tease James about it, but he quickly realises that the goods train is bound for the Mainland, making him dismiss the fact that the train consits of trucks, calling it "special". Thomas goes to complain to the Fat Controller about James always taking important jobs, to which he remarks that every job is important, ranging from the mail train, the Flying Kipper and Thomas' branchline. At the sheds that night, Thomas mentions the issue for Percy, who does not comment on it before departing to take the mail train, but acknowledges to have heard Thomas. As James arrives at the sheds, Thomas gets an idea.

Early next morning, James arrives at the Vicarstown yards and searches for Henry's train. When he cannot find it, he asks Rosie where it is, who tells him that Thomas came early to pick it up, much to James' surprise. In the meantime, Thomas excitedly crosses the Vicarstown Bridge over to the Mainland. James arrives at the Steamworks to inform the Fat Controller about Thomas, but he does not seem to be bothered, and asks James to work on Thomas' branchline in his absence.

As Thomas crosses a viaduct over to the Mainland, he takes in the sites, but the Troublesome Trucks continue to tease him, and he tries to make them quiet. As they approach a junction, they continue to tease him and comment that he is lost. With all the noise around him, coupled with the trucks' teasing, it becomes too much for him just as the trucks push him through a tunnel.

Back on Sodor, James' excessive speeding and continues misses of platforms, starts to annoy Annie and Clarabel, who also pray that Thomas will return soon.

On the Mainland, Thomas arrives at a canal, before a crane loads a boat on to the tracks, blocking him from continuing. He asks who he is and asks him to tell more about himself, which Thomas does. When it is proven to be not enough, Thomas improvises his explanation, all the while the Troublesome Trucks tease him for being lost. Thomas eventually decides to change tracks in order to get past the crane, who introduces himself as Beresford, much to his dismay.

Thomas continues onto what seems to be an old line covered in trees, but soon realises that he has run out of coal and water. He comes to a halt at the entrance of a yard, where he meets Lexi and Theo, two experimental engines. He asks them if they know the way to Bridlington, which they say they do not. He then asks them if they could help with coal and water, which they confirm, and lead him to the water tower and coal chute, although not being able to move, Theo is asked by Lexi to tow him. Despite them offering him to stay, Thomas determinedly heads out to find Bridlington. Sometime later, he arrives at the Steelworks, where he is greeted by Frankie and Hurricane. The latter puts his trucks in a siding before the two introduce him to their workplace and their duties. After having tried it out himself, Thomas tries to leave, but they ask him to stay, since it is already late.

At Tidmouth Sheds, Percy voices his concern for Thomas' absence, but James doesn't care about Thomas and think Thomas got lost on the Mainland, fell down a mine, or crashed into a stationmaster's house. But the engines were very furious at James, and he blames it on Thomas himself.

At the Mainland Steelworks, Thomas awoken by Hurricane and is quickly rushed back to work. Singing joyfully as he does so, Thomas accidentally backs some trucks into another, causing a spill. Hurricane warns him to be careful, citing that the substance could melt an engine's wheels.

On Sodor, James approaches the Fat Controller and asks if he could go to the Mainland to search for Thomas. The Fat Controller praises his proposal, but notes that he cannot spare another engine and that he will continue his work on Thomas' branchline. Percy cheers him up and says that he tried.

At the Steelworks, Frankie and Hurricane prepare to head out with a delivery, and Thomas notes that he should return home to Sodor, but Frankie insists that he should continue to help them. She also asks him to shunt some trucks and have things sorted by the time they return. Reluctantly continuing to work, Thomas begins to grow homesick and begins to reminisce about his friends and how he wanted an adventure to the Mainland. He then spots an old siding, which he decides to head down, only to find himself derailing on old tracks.

On Thomas' branchline, James grows impatient with some sheep who have stopped on the rails. Annie and Clarabel advise him to wait for the farmer to shoo them away, which James does not want to do and proposes to blow his whistle. Just as he is about to do so, Farmer McColl arrives and shoos the sheep away from the rails.

Later that evening, Frankie and Hurricane return and pull Thomas back on the rails. He also reluctantly accepts to continue to work and help them. That night at Tidmouth Sheds, Percy proposes that James could go to the Mainland to search for Thomas, and says that he could be a hero. At first James is reluctant, but suddenly likes the idea, before heading off into to the night to find Thomas. At the same time, Thomas uses the rain, thunder and lightning as a cover in an attempt to escape the Steelworks. Despite some of the noise, in combination with the weather, wakes Frankie and Hurricane temporarily, Thomas continues his escape attempt. When pushing open the gates does not work, he decides to get some flatbeds with pipes to push through with. With a few tries, he eventually succeeds just as Frankie and Hurricane are awoken again and chase after him. Thomas finds a siding into a forest, and stops there for the night. While there, he meets a new voice, who claims to be a stealth engine. He explains that he can be invisible, and urges Thomas to close his eyes and do the same. However, the next morning, Thomas cannot regain contact with him.

James arrives at Bridlington yards and asks around if anyone has seen Thomas, which none of the diesel shunters have. The Troublesome Trucks from Henry's train eventually tell him that they were brought to the yards by Hurricane, and confirm that Thomas did pull them. James tries to ask for Hurricane, but the shunters ignore him.

Thomas returns to the experimental engines' yard, where he asks them if they can help him back to Sodor, which they say they cannot. Lexi and Theo then explain how they were made and how they cannot do anything. Shortly afterwards, Merlin reveals himself, and is more positive in helping Thomas, but Lexi and Theo discourage him to do so. Despite this, he insists that they can try. Thomas decides to head out without them, and returns to the canal, where a curious Beresford wants to continue their previous conversation, and picks him off the rails, expressing that he wants them to be friends. Thomas advises him that he should not force someone to be his friend, but rather make them like him to then become his friend. In addition, he tries to ask him to put him down again, but just then, Hurricane and Frankie pass by with James, and Thomas asks Beresford to hide him before they pass. After they pass by, Merlin arrives and praises his choice of hiding. Thomas tells Beresford the urgency of now rescuing James, and is finally put down on the rails again.

At the Steelworks, Hurricane and Frankie pull the same introduction to James as they did Thomas, but after some time, James confronts them about Thomas, but despite his efforts, they force him to work with them.

At the experimental engines' yard, Thomas, Lexi, Theo and Merlin put together a plan to save James, with Lexi and Theo to cause a distraction while Thomas sneaks in to rescue James and Merlin to be the lookout. The distraction works and temporarily draws Frankie and Hurricane from the Steelworks, allowing Thomas to sneak inside looking for James. But Merlin, becoming uneasy of Thomas' whereabouts, begins to sneak inside himself, but a nervous Theo manages to give him away and a chase into the Steelworks ensues.

Thomas eventually finds James and desperately encourages him to join him escaping, which he is more then happy to do. As he reverses, his trucks block Hurricane's path as he speeds past Merlin and derails the trucks. Thomas urges James to take the track around the Steelworks just as they narrowly avoid Frankie. James instead heads inside the Steelworks and tries to hide from Frankie and Hurricane. However, they discover him with a spotlight and the chase continues. Hurricane attempts to block his path with trucks, but Theo and Thomas push them back, allowing James to pass. However, the trucks derail and activates a magnet, which picks up Thomas and hovers him above a cauldron of magma. Theo tries to save him by pulling back the lever with the derailed trucks, but it has the opposite effect, dropping Thomas towards the cauldron. Just in the last second, another crane arm jolts Thomas away from the cauldron and almost lands him back on the rails, but causes a truck to spill. Hurricane rushes forward and pushes Thomas out of the way just as the magma reaches his own wheels, causing them to melt. A now helpless Frankie breaks down and explains how they just wanted someone to help them and not to be alone. Thomas then suggests that they could help them, encouraging Lexi and Theo to do the same, citing that the most important thing is being friends. The experimental engines help Frankie and Hurricane, while Thomas and James reconcile as they head back to Sodor. Back at Tidmouth Sheds, the other engines are happy to see them return, including the Fat Controller. Henry, having simultaneously finished being repaired at the Steamworks, arrives and asks if he has missed anything.

  • The events of this special are mentioned by James in Big World! Big Adventures! during the song, Where in the World is Thomas?
  • According to a show reel by Chris Renshaw, when Thomas meets Lexi and Theo for the first time, the musical score would continue to play for much longer than in the final cut of the film. This was omitted for unknown reasons.
  • During a few scenes after Thomas runs into Beresford and also during the "Who's Thomas" song, Thomas can be seen turning his face sideways to look up at him. This is the only time an engine is seen doing this.

Goofs

  • In the shot showing the town of Arlesburgh, the ocean is floating above the beach.
  • On the back of the DVD, Theo's lamp is white instead of gold.

  • The visuals and audio of the UK and Australian release are out of sync.
  • James' American accent is heard when Frankie and Hurricane chase him into the steelworks in the UK dub.
  • In the close-up shot of Hiro's wheels, his eccentric rods are disconnected from his connecting rods.
  • In the first shot of James passing Thomas with the band, his mouth is not animated to show him humming. Also, in the US dub, James hums with his British accent instead of his American accent.
  • As Connor passes Henry, he has Caitlin's whistle sound.
  • The trucks that Hiro is pulling at the beginning change between the crash scene and the recovery scene.
  • In the opening shot of Emily pulling a goods train, her tender chassis and body do not line up.
  • When Thomas and James enter Knapford, James has Thomas' whistle sound.
  • In the scenes of James in the goods yard, the letters on Vicarstown are missing.
  • When Frankie laughs and says "Well isn't he a clever little tank engine", her wheels are clipping through the rails.
  • At Bridlington Goods Yard, when the Troublesome Trucks are being pushed, their buffers do not touch each other.
  • The points, such as the ones inside the steelworks, do not have rails.
  • In the scenes of Tidmouth Sheds, the bushes behind the sheds are clipping through the brick wall.
  • In the distance shot of Vicarstown, the station is missing its letters.
  • Throughout most of the special, with the exception of a few scenes, James' tender chassis is positioned further back than usual, making it clip through his tender bufferbeam.
  • In the first shot of the Mainland Junction, Hiro's brake van appears to be nearly in the middle of his goods train instead of the back.
  • The coaches that the engine resembling Toby pulls at the Mainland Junction do not have a brake coach at the back.
  • When Merlin says "I can do something!" the audio is out of sync.
  • In the close-up of Lexi when she explains how they are fully stocked in coal and water, Thomas is not present.
  • During We Can't Do Anything, Thomas' driver's hand clips through his cab door.
  • When Theo runs into the pole and it falls over, it is made of wood, but when it hits the barrels, it is made of metal.
  • When Thomas travels along the canal, he passes the area where Beresford usually is, but Beresford is absent. In the next scene, Thomas has been moved back, as Beresford is back in his original position, with Thomas passing the same building twice.
  • Some of the trucks swap voices throughout the special.
  • A few times in the US dub, a character says "cars" but their mouths move to say "trucks".
  • During The Most Important Thing is Being Friends, Beresford can be heard singing before he visually does.
  • The front cover of the DVD shows Frankie puffing steam, despite the fact that she is a diesel engine.
  • Most of the tracks outside near the slag pit are floating.
  • During I Want to Go Home, Rusty can be seen in front of Porter, but he is narrow gauge, and the tracks are not dual gauged. Also, the load on Thomas' flatbeds changes when he is inside the Steelworks.
  • After Hurricane shunts the trucks to block James' way, his mouth stops moving when he says "ya" at the end of his sentence.
  • In the Korean dub, the North Western Railway is translated as "북서 철도" (bugseo cheoldo), however, 북서부 철도 (bugseobu cheoldo) is the correct translation for North Western Railway.
  • In the Korean dub, there is one scene where "Frankie" was mistakenly called "Frank" by Thomas.
  • When Henry is pulling the goods train at the start of the special, he is pulling thirteen trucks. Yet when Henry crashes into Hiro right before he goes off the bridge, he only has eight.
  • Theo's funnel changes size between shots a few times.
  • Throughout most of the special, Hurricane's siderods connecting his four rear most driving wheels are not linked to those connecting his foremost six wheels, giving him the appearance of a 0-6-4-0 wheel arrangement rather than the correct 0-10-0 arrangement.
    • This was presumably done so he could round the tight bends in the steelworks, similar to how Victor was scaled down to narrow gauge as oppose to his basses being standard gauge so he could go around tight turns and through small spaces at the Steamworks.
  • When the narrator says "So with coal in his coal bunker and his water tank full, Thomas set off once more in search of the goods yard", the truck that says "Are we there yet?" seems to have turned around. It is facing the right way when it starts talking directly after.
  • The second time that Theo and Lexi go up the hill forwards, during "We Can't Do Anything", Theo's driver is not rendered properly, and thus is a static CGI Model with no facial-features.
  • During Who's Thomas the brake van appears to move when the trucks first sing.
