Master of Complaints is a short released apart of North Valley Shenanigans. It aired on February 17th, 2022.
== Plot: ==
One day, Billy arrives back with the morning Mountaineer passenger train. He goes to get oiled up at the workshops, where he meets Luke. Luke tells him he's concerned because a special guest star was going to arrive to assist, but he was arriving with Eddie. Meanwhile, Eddie was at the CSX interchange at Hazard switching, and he starts complaining about switching. Just then, Barry arrives. Him and Eddie get into a short argument, because to quote Barry, he wasn't up to "Eddie's standards." Eddie puts the train together, and they go back to North Valley's main yard. When they arrive, they switch the cars into the yard, and Eddie leaves Barry with Matt. At first, Barry and Matt get along talking about Eddie, when Benton arrived to place irony at Matt. After that, Matt starts showing off his hatred for diesels to Barry, which offends Barry. Barry goes to get some work done. At night, Taylor, Ken, Barry, Paul, and Matt are at the sheds. Taylor and Ken are chatting, as they always do before going to sleep, and then Matt gets mad. Him and Barry get into a little argument, and Paul tells them to stop. But they don't listen, and keep arguing. Sarah and Ethan, meanwhile, are racing by with a manifest and talk about what's going on in the sheds. The next day, Barry is racing up the mountain branch with a string of loaded boxcars. He stops at the mid-point where he has to wait for Billy to depart. He gets impatient, and Billy leaves after roasting him. Barry then departs, and proceeds to deliver the boxcars. He then returned to the workshops where Derek was sitting, and started making fun of Derek for being short. Derek leaves, and then Matt arrives to tell Barry he's taking him back to the CSX interchange. It ends with Luke saying "Moral of the story? I don't know really.. Don't be like them I guess?"
