Diesel, Dennis and the Dragon

***Diesel, Dennis and the Dragon*** is the second episode from the third series.

## Plot

Dennis is still ribbing Diesel about the time he thought Dennis was a ghost. At first, Diesel pretends that he knew it was a trick the whole time. Dennis jokes about him being afraid of the dark, but Diesel simply goes to sleep. The next morning, Diesel is asked by the Fat Controller to collect a special load from Brendam Harbour. Diesel wonders what it is, but The Fat Controller tells him to wait and see.

Meanwhile, Dennis gets stuck in a siding while shunting at Lower Suddery and has to stay there for the night due to jammed points while waiting for Class 40 to pass with a goods train. His driver and fireman go home for tea, and Dennis watches the other engines heading back to Tidmouth. He gets scared when he hears a shrieking noise, not knowing it is only an owl, and wishes Diesel was with him.

When Diesel is waiting for his load at the harbour, he is horrified to find it was a dragon, but his driver tells him it is made of paper and is needed for a carnival. Workmen put lights on the dragon for Diesel to travel safely, and he sets off for the carnival. Dennis is sleeping until Diesel passes by with the dragon, which terrifies Dennis to the point that he refuses to open his eyes until his driver returns.

The next day, the points are mended and Dennis tries to tell Diesel 10 about what he'd seen. Unfortunately, the big yellow ochre diesel thinks Dennis has been in the sun too long and rolls away with the express. This soon leads to the other engines teasing him about it. He begins to think he might have imagined the dragon, but later sees it again but is indignant when he sees Diesel pushing it. Diesel explains what happened and the two make up for their teasing.

Diesel and the Breakdown Train

***Diesel and the Breakdown Train*** is the seventh episode of the first series.

## Plot

The Fat Controller always comes to visit Diesel in the yard on his way on the station. He always tells Diesel that while he may not be as big or as fast as Diesel 10, he can still be a Really Useful Engine. While shunting, Diesel notices a strange green coach and two cranes. His driver explains that they make up the Breakdown Train and are used to lift engines and rolling stock in the event of an accident.

One day, while Diesel is working, he hears an diesel honking for help. The diesel, a new one named D199, is being pushed by a long line of trucks and cannot stop as his brake blocks are on fire. As D199 disappears under a bridge, Diesel gapes in shock and wishes to teach the trucks a lesson. Soon, an alarm rings and the signalman informs them that D199 has derailed. Diesel is coupled to the Breakdown Train and heads to the scene of the crash.

Further down the line, D199 is lying on his side in a field. His driver check him for damages and tell D199 that the fault lies in his brakes, which they had never approved of. Diesel arrives with the Breakdown Train and removes the trucks that are still on the rails, while the workmen deal with the ones in the field. Diesel works as hard as he can, going backwards and forwards with the trucks until they have all been cleared away.

Soon, D199 is lifted out of the field by the cranes and carefully set back onto the rails. He is unable to move by himself, so Diesel pulls him back to the shed as evening falls. Waiting for them is the Fat Controller, who congratulates Diesel on all his hard work. He arranges for D199 to be given proper brakes and a new coat of paint and rewards Diesel with a main line of his own.

BoCo the Very Useful Engine

***BoCo the Very Useful Engine*** is the fourteenth and final episode of the sixth series.

## Plot

Diesel 10's hatred of BoCo resurfaces, but he takes it to greater extremes this time: he insists that BoCo was worthless and deserves to be unceremoniously retired. The other big engines agreed with him, but Dennis was concerned about this. He tells his driver about what Diesel 10 had said about BoCo and the driver tells the Fat Controller, who attends to the matter immediately.

The Fat Controller arranges for BoCo to teach Bear how to run the completed loop line, while Class 08 did BoCo’s work. Class 40 was happy about this, but it makes no difference to Diesel 10. BoCo enjoyed working with Bear, but Class 08 didn't enjoy working with the trucks, especially when they held him back on Diesel 10's Hill. Class 08 was stuck on Diesel 10's line, and it was too late to switch Diesel 10, who was due any minute, to the middle line, so the guard tried to flag Diesel 10 down. However, Diesel 10 passes by and tries to push Class 08 up, but it was no good.

Diesel 10's driver sends for BoCo to help both engines and as the strange train sets off and pulls into the station, Diesel 10 felt rather embarrassed. He was then told off by the Fat Controller for saying very rude things about BoCo, who has proven to be really useful, reliable and very helpful. The next day, Diesel 10 apologized to BoCo and thanks him for his help, telling him that he really is a useful engine. The Fat Controller's plan has worked, and there is no more talk about Edward retiring from this point on.

Salty's Afternoon Off

***Salty's Afternoon Off*** is the third episode of the tenth series.

## Plot

Salty has finished all of his jobs early and intends on visiting the farm when the Fat Controller asks him to do some odd jobs. At first devastated that this will mean he cannot go to the farm, he has an idea; if he can ask someone to help him with one of his jobs, he might be able to get to the farm. Salty's first job is to shunt some trucks. He asks Molly for help, but she is too busy. Then Salty has to take some trucks to the depot. He asks Diesel for assistance, but he is running late and has no time to help. Finally, Salty has to help Big Mickey with some cargo and asks Toby to share the workload, but Toby is busy delivering a wheel. However, Big Mickey states that the ship has been caught in rough seas and will not arrive until the next morning, leaving Salty time to visit the farm.

On the way back, however, he meets Class 40 who asks Salty where he is going. After Salty states about his jobs and how he had tried to ask Molly, Diesel and Toby for help, Class 40 states that were too busy to help Salty because they were helping him; Class 40 had broken down and Molly was getting him his special oil, Diesel was taking away his passengers for him and Toby was taking him his wheel. Toby feels ashamed for thinking they were being unkind, now knowing why his friends were unable to help, and offers to take Class 40's coaches home. This shocks Class 40, since Salty will now miss his afternoon off, but Salty knows that it does not matter if he helps Class 40. This leads to Class 40 thanking Salty and apologising for him missing his afternoon off, but Salty does not mind.

Trust Diesel

***Trust Diesel*** is the sixth episode from the third series.

## Plot

It was a beautiful day and Diesel is rolling along his main line, enjoying himself enormously. He soon meets Bulgy, who is having a most unpleasant journey driving over the bumpy roads. At the station, Diesel finds out that Bulgy has lost his trust in the railway's service after it failed to deliver tar to mend the roads two weeks earlier, and resolves to find the source of the problem.

Meanwhile, D199 was complaining about having to do Dennis' work while the grey diesel engine is at the harbour, and takes his anger out by bumping his trucks, who vow to pay him out. Diesel 10 advises D199 that if he pretended to be sick, he would not have to shunt trucks or go to the quarry, and D199 happily decides to try it. When Diesel arrives, D199 pretends to be ill, and Diesel offers to take D199's trucks for him to the Quarry. The trucks, who are still cross at D199 for bumping them, decide to take their anger out on Diesel, deciding that one engine is as good as another. On the way back from the quarry, the trucks push Diesel over some points and onto a jetty, which floats across a muddy pond and sinks. Diesel finds the unexpected incident humiliating, especially since the day started so well too.

Class 08 handles the trucks, and BoCo brings Diesel home on a flatbed. On the way, Diesel then remembers about the missing tar and informs BoCo about it; he recalls a tar tanker was left at Wellsworth and offers to collect it to ensure it reaches Bulgy’s road. D199 and Diesel 199 apologise for the trick, and Bulgy arrives saying the road is being mended and he has regained his trust in the railway. Diesel 10 and D199 slowly leave for the shed, but Diesel is still not alone, for it so happens that a toad from the pond has stowed away on his valence for company, and is looking forward to a ride home.

Diesel the Jet Engine

***Diesel the Jet Engine*** is the thirteenth episode of the sixth series.

## Plot

Diesel 10 is boasting about how fast he can go, which none of the other engines care about, when Diesel has given the job of delivering a jet engine to Dryaw. He now wishes he could go faster than Diesel 10.

Diesel is very excited when he arrives at the Docks and sees Big Mickey lowering the jet engine onto the rails. He is soon ready to leave, but Big Mickey is taking his time. Diesel tells him to hurry up and Big Mickey gets cross because he does not like to be told what to do by an engine. Suddenly, Big Mickey carelessly turns the jet engine on with his hook. The jet engine starts to whine loudly, and is soon rocketing Diesel along the track. Diesel's driver tries to apply the brakes, but Diesel cannot stop.

Signals are changed and points are switched for the runaway Diesel, who is very excited and soon flies by D199, Class 40 and Dennis, who are all very amazed. When Bulgy sees Diesel, he asks him if he would like to have a race, but when Diesel whooshes past him, Bulgy quickly reconsiders. Diesel 10, who is pulling the Express, does not know Diesel is racing on the main line. Soon Diesel whooshes past Diesel 10, who is very surprised.

At last, the jet engine runs out of fuel and Diesel is back to his normal speed. Still on his way to the jet engine's destination, he honks gently into Knapford and teases Diesel 10 by saying that he is the fastest engine. Class 40 and James agree, but Dennis feels sorry for Diesel 10 and tells the engines that he does not have to go as fast as a jet engine even though D199 says that Diesel 10 is full of hot air and Diesel 10 fumes away.

Dennis and the Signal

***Dennis and the Signal*** is the fifth episode from the second series.

## Plot

Dennis works in the yard and although he works hard, he can also be very cheeky and often plays jokes. One day, Dennis is feeling particularly cheeky; he startles Diesel 10 by telling him his train is ready, which makes Diesel 10 think he is running late. Dennis then pulls out to reveal a line of dirty trucks, which makes Diesel 10 very cross. Diesel 10 begins to think of a way to get back at him.

Next, Dennis goes to D199, and tells him that the Fat Controller had sent a message for D199 to stay in the shed until he comes to see him. D199 is delighted, thinking the Fat Controller wants him to pull a special and refuses to leave when his driver and fireman try to take him out. As a result, the other engines have to do D199's work as well as their own. Finally, an engine inspector arrives to find out why D199 will not leave his shed; D199 tells him about the message the Fat Controller supposedly sent. The inspector points out the Fat Controller could not have sent a message as he is away for a week. D199 is furious and quickly leaves to find Dennis, but Dennis has disappeared. When the Fat Controller returns, he tells both engines off for causing trouble.

Sometime later, Percy is boasting to Gordon and James that he is taking trucks to Thomas' junction. He believes that the Fat Controller chose him because he is a Really Useful Engine, though James thinks it is simply to keep him out of the way. Gordon, realizing what route Percy is taking, indicates to James that they have a chance to give Percy a taste of his own medicine. They claim they were talking about being careful with the signals at the junction, especially "backing signals". Percy, keen to show off, claims that he knows all about signals, but worries as he has never heard of backing signals before.

Dennis soon arrives at a signal set to "danger", but then sees its arm move to "line clear". Dennis is surprised when it moves up instead of down, having never seen anything like it before, and guesses that it is one of the "backing signals" Diesel 10 and D199 were discussing. Dennis begins reversing, and his driver quickly stops him. Dennis insists that it is a "backing signal" and tells him what Diesel 10 and D199 had said. The driver tells Dennis the truth, which makes him eager to leave before he is seen, but Diesel 10 goes past and sees that Dennis fell for the trick. Humiliated, Dennis quickly and quietly finishes his work.

That night in the sheds, Diesel 10 and D199 talk about nothing but signals; while they think it is funny, Dennis thinks they are being very silly.

Dennis Gets it Right

***Dennis Gets it Right*** is the first episode of the seventh series.

## Plot

During the autumn, Dennis is rolling along Salty's old line with a train of tomatoes to take to market. But suddenly, he crosses over a wobbly section of track. His driver inspects the line and sees that the earth under the track is crumbling. Dennis decides to tell the Fat Controller.

Later, Dennis diesels into the yard and announces that the track on Salty's line is wobbly. Diesel 10 grumbles and tells him that the track being wobbly are like Salty and claims it's not important news and leaves, thus Dennis is briefly annoyed, as he thinks that Diesel 10 does not want to listen to him.

Next, Dennis tries to tell the Fat Controller, but he does not listen to him either, as he is too busy talking to Diesel. The Fat Controller tells Diesel to go and collect the prize bull from the farm on Salty's line, which prompts Dennis to warn the Fat Controller that the line is wobbly, but he dismisses this, thinking that it is fine. Dennis is briefly annoyed again and begins to think that at this point, nobody cares to listen to him.

Diesel collects the bull and sets off on his way. It is raining and the tracks are more wobbly than ever. Up ahead, a landslide occurs right in front of Diesel. He tries to stop, but runs into the soft dirt and gets stuck.

Later that night, Dennis is worried that Diesel has not returned to the sheds yet. Diesel 10 and D199 take no notice, but Dennis' driver believes him and they set off to find Diesel.

The tracks wobble as Dennis puffs along, but he is determined. At last, he finds Diesel buried under the dirt. The two friends are very happy to see each other. Dennis pulls Diesel out and helps him get back home.

When they arrive at the station during the daytime, the Fat Controller is waiting. Diesel announces that Dennis saved him, and even the bull agrees. The Fat Controller apologizes to Dennis and promises that everyone will do a better job of listening to him in the future. Dennis is very pleased to hear this.

Off the Rails

***Off the Rails*** is the sixteenth episode of the first series.

## Plot

One morning, Diesel 10 is resting in a siding while noting to himself that being an important engine can sometimes be very tiring. Class 40 suddenly pulls up, rudely waking Gordon with his horn and calls him names. Diesel 10 is very cross, believing that an engine like him who has never had an accident should be respected. Then Dennis comes and asks Diesel 10 if jammed horns and burst valves count as accidents. Diesel 10 denies it, saying that those things could happen to any engine, unlike Class 40 who came off the rails.

It is Class 40's day to take the Express and as he prepares to leave, Diesel 10 warns him not to come off the rails, much to his annoyance. After Class 40 leaves, Diesel 10 tries to go back to sleep, but is soon awakened by his driver who tells him that he is to pull a special train. Diesel 10 asks if it's coaches or trucks, but becomes angry when he learns it is trucks, as he would rather take coaches.

Diesel 10's engine is unable to start right away, so BoCo pushes him to the turntable to be turned around. Diesel 10 complains the whole way and BoCo rebukes him. The movement has gotten Diesel 10's engine staring nicely and making smoke. As the turntable rotates, Diesel 10 is so cross that he is willing to do anything to get out of taking the special, regardless of the consequences. When the table is halfway round, he moves forward in an attempt to jam it, but it backfires as he is unable to stop and slides down some old rails into a marshy ditch. Diesel 10 is horrified and shouts for someone to get him out, but his crew sternly refuse, telling him that he is stuck.

In his office, the Fat Controller receives a phone call from Diesel 10's driver who tell him all that has happened. Seeing Diesel 10 from his window, he orders to have BoCo to take the special train instead and leave Diesel 10 where he is for now. Meanwhile, some little boys come by, see Diesel 10's predicament and tease him with a rhyme, leaving him humiliated.

Diesel 10 stays in the ditch for hours, until late at night when a rescue team finally comes. After extensive work removing his tender and preparing a road of sleepers to keep his wheels out of the mud, cables are hooked behind him and then he is pulled out by D199 and Class 40. Afterwards, a filthy and disgraced Diesel 10 crawls back to the shed, much sadder and wiser for his experience.

What's the Matter with Class 40?

***What's the Matter with Class 40?*** is the fourth episode of the seventh series.

## Plot

It was the end of another busy day and all of the diesels were happy, except Class 40, who was feeling ill once again. He complained that his boiler was grumbling. Diesel teased him about it, but Class 40 crossly moaned that Diesel didn’t care and leaves. Daisy noticed a puddle of oil where Class 40 had been parked.

The next morning, the Fat Controller Class 40, Dennis and Diesel to collect some coal trucks and take them to the docks. The two little diesels dieseled quickly away. But Class 40 was still feeling ill. Despite this, really useful engines don’t complain, so this time, he tries to move anyway, worried that the Fat Controller wouldn’t care if he was ill again.

Class 40 was still leaving a trail of fuel behind him as he rolled along, which worries Daisy even more. Diesel and Dennis continued to tease Class 40, thinking he was being lazy. When they arrived at the coaling plant before Class 40, they made a plan. Diesel lies to the manager that Class 40 wanted to take more trucks, with Dennis adding that Class 40 was bigger. The manager agreed. Meanwhile, Daisy told the Fat Controller about Class 40's problem and he sent her to find him.

Class 40 arrived at the coaling plant and was horrified to see a long line of trucks left by Diesel and Dennis. But he still had to take them, so he sets off and pulls with all his might. However, the trucks proved too much and Class 40 grinded to a halt in the middle of the line. Daisy pulled up alongside and saw that Class 40 needed some help. So she changed tracks and coupled up to Class 40 while his oiler uncoupled the trucks. Then they set off towards the docks.

When they arrived, the Fat Controller praises Daisy and commends Class 40 for his bravery for taking the trucks despite being ill. Diesel and Dennis felt ashamed and apologized to Class 40 for not believing he was really sick. The Fat Controller sent Diesel and Dennis to fetch Class 40’s train.

Soon, Class 40 was mended and back at work, but complains and claims that the workmen didn’t look at his brakes, gauges, or wheels. Daisy assured him that he was back in good condition again, but Class 40 was still unhappy with the workmen's work.

Diesel and the Firework Display

***Diesel and the Firework Display*** is the seventh episode of the eighth series.

## Plot

Tonight was the Fat Controller's harvest fireworks display, for which he decided to give D199 the job of collecting the fireworks from the depot. This upsets Diesel because he wanted the job, but D199 tells him that he was chosen because he is as blue as a rocket and twice as grand.

At the Coaling Plant, Diesel was furious about D199's job and angrily shunts some trucks around. D199 arrived at the depot to collect the fireworks and rolled off to Knapford Station. But along the way, D199 breaks down and his driver went to phone for help.

Meanwhile, Diesel arrived at Knapford Station, where Diesel 10 was letting off people from all over the island to see the fireworks, and seeing the children happy made Diesel happy. The Fat Controller gave Diesel the news that D199 had broken down and that Diesel must push him to the station or the fireworks display would be cancelled. Realising that this would make the children sad, Diesel headed off to find D199.

Diesel found D199 and called him a busted boiler, teasing him that he didn’t look really useful now, which made D199 cross and embarrassed. Diesel buffers up to the brake van and tells D199 that he must look out for things ahead for him, as he could not see ahead. D199 forgives Diesel after hearing that the children would be upset if the fireworks didn’t get to Knapford and they started on their way.

Back at Knapford Station, the Fat Controller saw that it was late and nearly the children's bedtime, so he decided to cancel the display. While heading towards Knapford, D199 was confused that a signal they have reached is red. Diesel though a passenger train was coming and D199 realized that Diesel 10 was about to take the children home, so they tried blowing their horns loudly, but it didn’t work because no one could heard them.

As Diesel 10 was just about to leave, Diesel had an idea to let his driver set off a firework, and Diesel 10 and the Fat Controller saw it, realising it was a signal from Diesel and D199 and that the fireworks display was on again. The signal then turned green and Diesel and D199 arrived at the station.

At Tidmouth Sheds, Diesel and D199 watched the fireworks. D199 tells Diesel that they were both Really Useful Engines and Diesel says that they were most useful when they work together.

BoCo, Diesel 10 and Class 40

***BoCo, Diesel 10 and Class 40*** is the fourth episode of the first series.

## Plot

Diesel 10 always pulls the Express and is proud to be the only engine strong enough to do it. One day, he heads down the line with the Fat Controller onboard the train, when he sees the tunnel that Class 40 has been left bricked up in and abandoned for refusing to come out. Class 40 feels sorry for himself and wonders if he will ever be forgiven and let out.

Diesel 10 plans to honk rudely at Class 40, only to burst his valve and he is forced to stop just in front of the tunnel. Upon being told by his driver what has happened and that he can no longer pull his train, Class 40 is very upset, especially since they were having a nice run. To add insult to injury, Class 40 has seen Diesel 10's mishap and is laughing at him. The passengers come out to see Diesel 10, including the Fat Controller, who promptly orders for another engine to come to take the Express, while Diesel 10 is uncoupled and moved onto a siding. BoCo is the only engine left in the yard and offers to take the train, but when he tries to push the coaches he finds that he is simply not strong enough. Diesel 10 suggests that Class 40 should be allowed to try and the Fat Controller agrees, as does Class 40 upon being asked.

Soon workmen break down the wall and replace the rails, then Class 40 comes out of the tunnel. His paint is very dirty and he feels stiff, but after having a quick run to loosen his joints and being turned on a turntable, he feels a lot better and then he is coupled to the coaches. With Class 40 pulling and BoCo pushing, the two engines manage to move the long train. The Fat Controller leans out the window to wave to them, but the train ends up moving very fast and causes his hat to blow off and land in a field where it is eaten by a goat. The two keep running until they reach the last station where the passengers cheer, and on the way home, they help Diesel 10 back to the sheds.

Class 40 is rewarded with a new coat of paint and no longer minds the rain as he now knows that the best way to keep his paint nice is not to hide in tunnels but to ask his driver to wash him down after the day's work is done.

Mavis

**Mavis** is a kind black diesel shunter.

## Biography

When Mavis first came to the railway, Daisy laughed at her for having to haul "empties" to the Coaling Plant. Mavis' feelings were hurt, so Diesel came up with an idea. He had workmen decorate Mavis' trucks with lanterns and cover them with tarpaulins, to make them look special to the other engines. The wind, however, blew off a tarpaulin in front of Diesel 10, Dennis and Daisy. Molly ran away, embarrassed until she learned that engines at the depot needed her empty trucks to carry coal. When Mavis arrived at the depot, BoCo, Diesel 10 and D199 were grateful to see her; but Diesel 10 was irritated when he had to wait at a signal for Mavis' and Diesel's trains to pass.
Sticky Toffee Diesel

***Sticky Toffee Diesel*** is the seventh episode of the tenth series.

## Plot

A children's costume party was being held, and the engines had various jobs to do for it. Dennis was collecting cakes and buns, Salty was delivering sticky toffee, and Diesel arrived with the tables and chairs. When saw some children making costumes, he wanted to go to the party in costume too. The Fat Controller then instructed Diesel to have a washdown so he would look his best for the train rides he would give at the party later.

When Dennis saw Diesel at the washdown, he jokingly tells Diesel that he looked like a giant bubble. Diesel then took Dennis' joke the wrong way and rolled off, still covered in soap suds. On his journey, some bubbles got into Diesel's eyes and he couldn’t see where he was going. He then crashed into Salty and the toffee tanker, breaking Salty’s axle. Diesel offered to take the tanker. The Fat Controller agreed to this, but told Diesel not to try to get into costume. Soon Diesel set off after the bubbles were cleaned off him, but after seeing an air plane in the air and contemplating going as a plane, his concentration drifted away from him.

Once Diesel had caught himself daydreaming, he realized how late he was and raced along the line at top speed. Unaware the points have been changed, he crashed into some buffers, opening the toffee tanker and getting covered in toffee. Having foiled the whole purpose of being washed, which was to give train rides at the party, Diesel was upset and regretted not thinking of what he was doing.

Determined to at least deliver the sticky toffee on time, Diesel decided to use a shortcut -- a long since disused line he suddenly spotted off to the side. No longer thinking of costumes, Diesel pushed through the overgrowth, despite the sticky toffee causing him to get covered with branches and leaves. When he arrived, Diesel explained how he brought the toffee but couldn’t give train rides due to being messy. The children declared to him that wasn’t messy but rather in costume -- the best costume of all.

Dennis' New Horn

***Dennis' New Horn*** is the first episode of the  eighth series.

## Plot

One day while delivering trucks to the quarry, Dennis tooted a greeting to Donald and Douglas, who laughed at Dennis' horn. Dennis was determined to show the scottish twins that his horn was just as good as their whistles. As Dennis rolled through the countryside, he practiced honking loudly. Later, he went back to the quarry and sneaks up behind Donald and Douglas. He blew a loud toot on his horn, which startles the two scottish engines.

Now that he had a super-loud horn, Dennis couldn’t wait to use it again. When he saw Diesel shunting trucks in a siding, he blew another loud horn. Diesel jumped forward and biffed into his trucks, making him very cross, but Dennis was too busy having fun to notice. Later, when he Bulgy, Dennis let off another loud horn, startling Bulgy as he swerved across the road and into a snowy ditch, also making him cross as well, but Dennis didn’t realise this.

That evening, Diesel told Dennis about all the trouble he had caused that day. Dennis apologized and promised never to do it again. But the next day, while rolling through the countryside with a milk train, he wished that he could have one last loud toot on his horn. Dennis didn’t see anyone about, but he didn’t know that George was delivering food to feed some sheep on the hill above. Dennis' loud horn startles George and he jolted backward and knocked a log down the hill. The log collected snow and turned into a giant snowball as it rolled down and crashed into Dennis at the bottom of the hill. Dennis' driver was cross, as he went to go for help.

Soon, the Fat Controller arrived on board Diesel and told Dennis that horns are for safety, not for playing games. Dennis promised to only use his whistle when the time was right. The next day, Dennis was a very quiet engine. But, as he came out of a tunnel, he spotted a snowdrift on the line. Then, he heard Diesel approaching with his coaches. Dennis blew a warning toot and Diesel gridded to a halt just in the nick of time. That evening, Dennis was praised by the Fat Controller and now only uses his horn responsibly.

Middle Engine

***Middle Engine*** is the eighth episode of the sixth series.

## Plot

The engines enjoy their work, except they don't like being a "middle engine", pushing trucks in front and pulling trucks behind. One day, Dennis was collecting coal trucks from the Smelters Yard to take to the coaling plant, but Donald and Douglas play a trick on him by shunting trucks in front of him, making him a "middle engine." Dennis had to go slowly between the rakes of trucks and D199 teases him by calling him a "slowcoach." Dennis had to shunt the front trucks onto the tipper for the coal to be dumped.

Dennis knows it was against the rules for an engine not to go onto the tipper's loading ramp while it is operating. But when his driver and oiler leave, Class 40 arrives to collect some coal trucks, unaware that Dennis was there and accidentally bumps him onto the loading ramp. Dennis was then lifted up and brought back down. The yard manager was cross with Dennis for causing confusion and delay and reports the incident to the Fat Controller.

That night at the sheds, D199 returns to see the Fat Controller scolding Dennis for the incident. Although Dennis tries to admit that it wasn't his fault and that it was because Donald and Douglas made him a middle engine, but the Fat Controller didn’t care and restricts him to shunting in the yard as punishment. D199 quietly brags that he can handle Donald and Douglas, but is heard by the Fat Controller who sends him to the smelters yard to do Dennis’ work the next day (much to D199's dismay).

At first, D199 didn’t let Donald and Douglas’ bullying get in his way and thinks he has put them in their place. However, once it was time to take the train out, Donald plays the same trick they did on Dennis the day before. Not wanting to be like Dennis or a "middle engine," D199 refuses to move, so Dennis had to pull him with his train to the docks. Dennis then jokes that D199 was learning to be a "middle engine," leaving D199 angry and embarrassed as he tries to cover himself in smoke.
