Once upon a time, there was a special train named Brock. Brock wasn’t just any train; he was a construction train! One day, Brock and his friend Nico found themselves in a tricky situation. The walls around them were closing in!
“Brock, can you stop the walls?” asked Nico. Brock thought hard. “I’m a construction train, not a treasure train,” he said. But then he had an idea! “My quick-drying cement can stop the walls!” Brock used his cement mixer, and it worked! The walls stopped moving. “Phew! You saved us, Brock!” said Nico. Brock smiled and said, “Any construction train could have done the same.”
As they continued their journey, they came across a big gap. “Uh-oh, now we can’t go forward or back!” said Nico. Brock felt unsure. “I’m just a construction train, not a treasure finder,” he said. But Nico encouraged him, “Don’t give up, Brock. We just need to find a way over the gap.”
Brock thought, “What would a builder do?” Then he had another idea. “I could dig up some dirt to make a ramp!” he said. “Great idea!” cheered Nico. Brock used his mega-digger to build a ramp, and it worked perfectly!
With the gap behind them, Brock and Nico had to choose the right tunnel to find the treasure. “I say we take the gold one,” suggested Nico. “King Toot loved gold!” Brock agreed, and they went down the gold tunnel slowly, just to be safe.
At the end of the tunnel, they found the Treasure of King Toot! “It’s our pleasure to get the treasure!” they cheered. But suddenly, a big boulder started rolling towards them!
“Can you stop that boulder, Brock?!” asked Nico. “I got this!” said Brock. He used his plow to push the boulder away. “You saved us again!” said Nico. “I knew you were the right train for this mission!”
With the treasure safe, Brock and Nico headed to Museum Station. “We did it!” they cheered. Everyone was so happy to see the Treasure of King Toot. “Congratulations on the amazing delivery!” they said. Brock and Nico were proud of their adventure and couldn’t wait for the next one!

The walls are closing in! Brock! Can you stop the walls? Yes! I mean, maybe. I’m a construction train, not a treasure train. What would a builder do? Think, Brock, think. I might have a good idea! My quick-drying cement can stop the walls! Phew! Brock, you saved us! Nah, my cement mixer did! Any construction train could have done the same. Ah! Not good, very bad! Go, go, go! Phew! That was close! The map says go around this corner. But go slowly. Very, very slowly. This way looks clear. No obstacles! Uh-oh. Obstacle! Now we can’t go forward or back! I knew I wasn’t the right train for this job. I’m just a construction train, not a treasure finder. Don’t give up, Brock. We just have to find something to get us over the gap. What would a builder do? Hmm, I could try to dig up some dirt to make a ramp! Great idea! Like you always say, “Build-It Brock builds it best!” OK, Nico. I’ll try! Mega-digger activate! I think that might work. Think? Might?! Hold on tight! Ah! Great job! I knew you could do it! Even though my eyes were closed. Thanks, Nico. Now, according to the map, the treasure is down one of these tunnels. But we have to pick the right one. Hmm… I say we take the gold one. King Toot was all about the gold. I agree! Let’s go! But let’s go slowly still. Just in case. The Treasure of King Toot! It’s our pleasure… to get the treasure! But go slowly still. Just in case! Toot! We can’t back up! Can you stop that boulder, Brock?! I got this! It’s plow time! You saved us! I knew you were the right train for this mission! Aw, shucks! Thanks, Nico. I guess I am. Now let’s get that treasure. It’s beautiful! I can’t wait to show everyone! We did it! Next stop, Museum Station! Done and delivered! I can’t believe you found the treasure of King Toot! Awesome! Yeah! Congratulations on the amazing delivery! Did you have any problems? Naw!
