BoCo and the Mail

**BoCo and the Mail** is the seventh episode of the eleventh series.

## Plot

Dennis is in need of repairs and the other engines nominate BoCo to do the mail run, thinking that he knows what to do, but BoCo does not, but he decides to collect the mail anyway so as not to look silly. Along the way, BoCo decides that he will have to figure out how to do it on his own. However, he mixes up all the deliveries, dropping Farmer McColl's parcels off at Maithwaite, giving party equipment to Abbey School, and unloading the school supplies at Farmer McColl's. When BoCo finds out what he has done, he collects the parcels again and tries to get them to the right places, but on his way back to McColl Farm, he is in such a hurry that he does not stop to ask a signalman which is the fastest route, taking a wrong turn and running into a barrier on a closed branch line. BoCo realises that he needs Dennis' help and goes to the works, where Dennis explains he delivers the parcels in a certain order, and he always starts at the furthest away location and then works his way back to Tidmouth. BoCo finally does everything right and feels wiser for taking advice.

BoCo was one of the steadiest engines on Sodor. And to the Fat Controller: “A steady engine, is a really useful engine.”

One day at Brendam Docks, BoCo was chosen to take a new brass water wheel along the express line to Great Waterton Waterworks, but he chose to take the branch line so people could see him and his special. Although BoCo was warned that the line ahead was bumpy, he continued onwards as the school was nearby. He wanted the children to see his magnificent waterwheel, but as he was travelling, the ropes were digging into the sharp sides of the waterwheel. After going up Diesel 10's Hill, the ropes teared in half, and the waterwheel came loose. It rolled down the hill, onto some flatbeds Diesel 10 was taking to the Smelters. BoCo chased Diesel 10, going along every shortcut he knew. BoCo saved it just in time and had it chained on so it wouldn’t fall off again. BoCo delivered the water wheel to Great Waterton Waterworks, where it was put on display.

Respect for Diesel 10

***Respect for Diesel 10*** is the fifth episode of the ninth series.

## Plot

Diesel 10's engine had lately been rattling whenever he cools down at night, which had resulted in teasing from Diesel and Dennis. Diesel 10 told them that little diesels have very bad manners, though he felt quite embarrassed about his problem.

The next morning, Diesel 10 found Dennis still teasing him. When he arrived at Knapford, the teasing continued, this time by Daisy and Thomas. Diesel 10 felt like he had had enough, and he decided to make demands in order to stop the teasing. So, he pulled ahead of D199 at the fuel column, then tells Dennis not to hang around at platform one as it was his platform. And finally, he tells Diesel, D199 and Daisy to give a polite "toot toot" of their horns the next time they saw him - because he was the fastest and best.

However, when Diesel 10 passed Daisy, he didn’t get the polite "toot toot" that he expected. Instead, she ignored him intentionally. Diesel 10 was so angry that he missed a red signal and crashed into a train of jam tankers ahead of him, getting covered in jam. While he waited to be rescued, Diesel 10 got teased again by Dennis, D199 and Diesel, leaving him feeling very foolish and humiliated. Soon, BoCo arrived with the breakdown train and took Diesel 10 to the Works to be cleaned and mended. With the amount of jam in his air vents, Diesel 10 had to stay at the fitters yard for a long time.

Meanwhile, Daisy and Class 40 took in turns to pull the express and they quickly realized that Diesel 10 was quite strong to do it regularly, as they find it to be hard work. Even Dennis missed Diesel 10 as the rattle helped him go to sleep. A few days later, Diesel 10 was mended with all the jam cleaned out of his vents and in addition, the workmen had repaired his engine so that it was no longer rattling. That night, Diesel 10 apologized to his friends for his rattling engine and for his "toot toot" demands because he didn’t deserve it. However, Diesel and the other engines stated that Diesel 10 did deserve it as he worked very hard as the express engine.

From then on, all of the Fat Controller's engines greeted each other with a polite toot of their horns for being Really Useful.

Toby's Secret

***Toby's Secret*** is the first episode of the sixth series.

## Plot

Toby is a dockyard tram engine who enjoys working near the sea. It was his first day working on Sodor and as the island is surrounded by the sea, he is hopeful he will be working near it. Naturally, he was disappointed when he was sent to work at the quarry to help Molly, Splatter and Dodge with an important job for the Fat Controller. Splatter and Dodge think that they didn’t need help, or that Toby would be able to manage all of the trucks. However, when they saw that Toby manages to win the trucks over with his tales and songs of the sea, the twins were surprised and rather jealous. But Toby still longs for the sea.

One night, Molly and the twins see him alone outside. Splatter and Dodge call him names and express boredom from his stories, but Molly tries to comfort him. Toby wanted to be near the sea again, but he knows that the quarry work was important. The next day, Toby tries to show Splatter and Dodge his secret with the trucks, which was singing a tune for the trucks to sing along with. Splatter and Dodge try singing a rhythm to get the trucks moving, but they could not make them move the way Toby could.

Later, the Fat Controller arrives at the quarry, and is surprised to see that the job has been completed. Molly tells him that they could not have done it without Toby. Luckily for him, there is no further need for him at the quarry, so he was finally transferred to Brendam Docks, which is his dream place to work. It was where he feels really useful, and he sorts out the trucks better than any other engine.

The Trouble with Mud

***The Trouble with Mud*** is the fourth episode from the third series.

## Plot

One morning, Diesel was being cleaned when Diesel 10 arrives covered in mud. Diesel tells Diesel 10 to have a wash down, but Diesel 10 does not care and leaves. A strong wind was blowing and Diesel 10’s driver tells him to slow down, but that only makes Diesel 10 more cross at being dirty and late.

In the goods yard at the next station, Diesel 10 sees a sign saying "All trains must wash down daily." D199 was just finishing with his wash down and Diesel 10’s driver tells him it is his turn now, but Diesel 10 angrily lets off smoke and mud flies all over his driver, the workmen, and even D199. Diesel 10’s driver scolds him and now he has to wait until D199 gets another wash, but Diesel 10 does not and leaves to pull the express. The Fat Controller is waiting for Diesel 10 at the big station and is shocked to see the big diesel engine looking very muddy. He tells Diesel 10 that Class 40 will have to pull the train instead and orders him to get cleaned up at once.

After Diesel 10 finally receives a wash down, he pulls and shunts trucks for the rest of the day, much to his anger, while D199 gets ready to take the express. Earlier, a storm swept across Diesel 10’s Hill, blowing leaves onto the tracks. Though the storm is over, the hill was still slippery. Diesel 10 warns D199 about the hills being slippery and says that he may need help, but D199 denies this and leaves.

When D199 comes to the hill, he picks up speed as he tries to pull the train over the hill by himself. But halfway up, despite his best efforts, his wheels begin slipping on the leaves and he rolls back down the hill. Diesel 10 sees everything and after teasing D199 for not listening to his advice, he decides to help him up the hill. Then, thanks to D199's pushing from behind, D199 makes it to the top.

That night, Diesel asks the Fat Controller if Diesel 10 can pull coaches again. The Fat Controller says that Diesel 10 may, as long as he understands the importance of having a good wash down. As the other diesels settle to sleep, Diesel 10 states that "Dirty or clean, I'm a famous machine," even though there is no one else left awake or around to hear him.

## Plot

BoCo is an old, green diesel, who is feeling sad, as he has not been out in a long time. One day, his driver saw how upset he is, so hi choose him over the other engines. BoCo has a wonderful day pulling coaches. The coaches are very proud and impressed with BoCo, as is his driver. That night, BoCo tells the other engines that he will go out again tomorrow, but falls asleep before he could understand what they thought of it.

Next morning, Diesel 10 is bragging to BoCo. He tells the old diesel to watch him rush by with the express that afternoon. BoCo ignores him and goes to shunt trucks in the yard. However, instead of coaches, Diesel 10 is pulling a train of dirty trucks, much to his anger. He soon begins to climb a hill, and stops halfway up. BoCo is soon called to be Diesel 10's banker. The big yellow ochre diesel does not think that BoCo can do it, though he pushes all the same. The train is brought back to the bottom of the hill and then both engines puff together up the hill. All the while Diesel 10 persistently complains but to his surprise, they have made it to the top. Diesel 10 thunders away at high-speed, cheering for himself, and leaves BoCo far behind forgetting to thank him.

Bulls Eyes

***Bulls Eyes*** is the sixth episode of the fourth series.

## Plot

Salty was designed to prevent animals from getting hurt if they stray onto the line, but Emily thinks he looked ridiculous and believes that Salty is simply afraid of getting hurt himself. She tells Salty that any animal - even something as big as a bull - will always run away if she toots her whistle and looks them in the eye, despite Salty’s insistence that they will not. Later that day, Emily was asked by a policeman to guide a stray bull back to his farmer. She sets off, eager to prove to Salty that she can handle bulls, despite the fact she has never actually encountered one before.

Although not usually very fierce, Champion the bull had been cross that morning, which resulted in him crashing through the fence and sliding down the valley onto the line. Just as he begins to eat the nearby grass, Emily arrives and toots for him to move. Despite several attempts, Champion ignores her and continues eating. Eventually, he notices Emily and advances curiously towards her. Emily becomes unnerved, as the bull is not running away as she expected him to. Her driver assures her that Champion is harmless, but Emily was worried that she might be hurt (though she tries to hide this). Champion then sniffs at Emily, which proves to be the last straw as Emily retreats back to the station.

Salty soon learns about what happened and goes to shoo Champion away himself, although not without reminding a now silent and embarrassed Emily that a bull should always run away if they look one in the eye. Although Salty’s horn prove ineffective against the still-grazing bull, he eventually retreats after Salty blows smoke at him and reunites with the farmer further down the line. Later that evening, Emily felt exhausted but glad that her day's work is over. Some boys at the platform then tease her with some "Bull's Eyes" sweets. Annoyed, Emily shrugs off the joke and leaves to rest in her shed.

Salty Feels Left Out

***Salty Feels Left Out*** is the ninth episode of the ninth series.

## Plot

It was spring on the Island of Sodor and the Fat Controller announced to the engines at Tidmouth Sheds that the new Sodor Museum was opening soon, and all his engines would be repainted. Later at Knapford station, D199 told Salty about the museum and their repaints, but Salty hadn’t been informed about this. D199 suggested that he must’ve been left out. That night, Salty kept worrying about what D199 had said. In the morning, he met Diesel at Abbey and jumped to the conclusion that the Fat Controller had decided to put him in the museum. Diesel told Salty to ask the Fat Controller, but Salty didn’t want to know the truth. Diesel departed, saying that "Really Useful Engines were Really Busy Engines."

Salty decided to keep himself busy so as to convince the Fat Controller that he was really useful enough to not be a museum piece. So when the Fat Controller ordered Daisy to go for her repaint, Salty offered to take the flour in her place and he scurried away before the Fat Controller had a chance to finish talking to him. After delivering the flour to the docks, Salty saw the Fat Controller again and scurried off once more. Then Salty offered to take Diesel's coaches while he went to have his repaint. Then he delivered coal from the coal mine in D199's place, and then shunted some stone trucks at the quarry for Dennis.

Then, Salty saw the Fat Controller nearby and scurried away again, only to derail by reversing into a large stone blocking his track, damaging his rear axle in the process. The Fat Controller demanded an explanation to why Salty had been evading him. Salty told the Fat Controller how he was worried that he would be put into the museum because he was a very old diesel and not really useful anymore. The Fat Controller then told Salty that despite being old, he was far too useful to be put in a museum, especially as he had been working hard for everyone else all day. The Fat Controller went on to tell Salty what he had been trying to say all day: Salty was to get washed and polished so that he could take the important visitors to the opening ceremony of the new museum.

After Salty was repaired, wash and polish, he was very happy to be a really useful dockyard diesel engine and took the important visitors to the opening of the new Sodor Museum.

Cows

***Cows*** is the first episodes of the second series.

## Plot

BoCo's age is beginning to show due to having some worn-out parts, causing him to make clanking sounds. One day, BoCo is pulling some cattle wagons to a nearby market town; the trucks are making a lot of noise, as is he by this point. Near the line is a field where some cows are grazing, and they become provoked by the noise from the train as they are not used to them. As BoCo passes by the fence, a number of cows break loose, charge across the line and break a coupling, causing the last truck and guard's van to be left behind. Believing the jerk to be the trucks misbehaving, BoCo continues on his journey. It is not until BoCo gets to the next station that he or his driver realize what happened.

Diesel 10 and Class 40 hear about the incident and find it very funny, leading them to tease BoCo about letting a few cows break his train and brag that they could handle cows easily to his annoyance. Salty is also indignant towards the larger engines as he knows they have never encountered cows like he has and do not understand the trouble they cause.

A few days later, BoCo's mood is still bad when Diesel 10 sails through Wellsworth with the express, still teasing him. Diesel 10 continues down the line, telling the coaches to hurry until he and his driver think they see something on the upcoming bridge. The driver shuts off steam and as Diesel 10 slows to a stop, he sees that the obstacle is a cow. He tries to shoo it, but she refuses to budge from her loneliness due to the fact that her calf has disappeared. Diesel 10's driver and passengers try to get the cow to leave, but to no avail.

Class 40 soon comes by with his train and also thinks that the cow can simply be ordered away, but is also unable to get her to move and nervously reverses so as not to hurt her. Once back to the station, Class 40's guard tells the stationmaster about the cow blocking the line. The porter realizes that it is Bluebell, declaring that her calf is at the station and that they will send it to the bridge in a truck pulled by Dennis.

Arriving at the bridge, Dennis reunites the calf with its mother and the two cows are easily led away by the porter. Diesel 10 and Class 40 make an agreement not to tell anyone about the incident, but the story quickly gets around. That night, BoCo is ready to tease Diesel 10 and Class 40 in the shed. Diesel 10 defends himself and Class 40, claiming that they stopped to prevent Bluebell from running up against them. BoCo says that he understands, but Diesel 10 worries that BoCo understands all too well.

Bulgy's Chase

***Bulgy's Chase*** is the second episode of the second series.

## Plot

One morning, BoCo is waiting at Wellsworth to pick up passengers from Diesel's train and is growing impatient. His driver gets up on the cab roof, but says he can only see Bulgy, who is likely carrying tourists. With no sign of Diesel, they just leave the station. As they pass a level crossing, Bulgy pulls up shouting that he has Diesel's passengers on board since Diesel's driver is absent, but neither BoCo nor his driver hear him. Bulgy's driver tells him that they must keep their promise to Diesel and they start to chase BoCo.

Bulgy tries to catch up with BoCo, but to no avail. He soon finally reaches the top of a hill and sees BoCo at Lower Suddery, stopped at the level crossing. Bulgy tears down the hill at top speed, but the crossing gates close and BoCo rolls away just as Bulgy comes into the yard.

Bulgy is now both very upset and tired. He apologizes to the passengers, who tell him not to worry and encourage him to start after BoCo again. Bulgy is not so sure, but his driver says that there is a good chance of catching BoCo, as Bulgy can climb hills better than him. After checking with the stationmaster, Bulgy sets off again.

As they carry on, BoCo comes to a hill. The coaches start grumbling, but soon they reach the top. Still oblivious about Bulgy, they run smoothly into Upper Brendam. The guard blows his whistle, but as the driver looks back, he cannot see a green flag. Suddenly, Bulgy comes into the station, and the stationmaster tells the driver and guard what happened. BoCo apologizes to Bulgy, who claims everything was his fault. The passengers board the train and cheer for Bulgy, while BoCo says goodbye and continues with his journey. Bulgy heads off to tell Diesel that all is well. Diesel is grateful to Bulgy and thanks him for being such a good friend.

The Deputation

***The Deputation*** is the twelfth episode from the second series.

## Plot

Snow has fallen on the Island of Sodor, and while most of the engines hate it, Arry and Bert are used to these conditions and do a good job of clearing the lines. They soon encounter one snow drift which is deeper than the rest and hear a whistle; it turns out to be Class 40, who is nearly buried. The twins promise to get him out.

Class 40 is rescued and soon returns to the shed, but both Arry and Bert are upset. The Fat Controller will be returning soon, and after their previous mistakes, they are worried that he will send them back to England. The other engines agree that Arry and Bert both deserve to stay and decide something has to be done, but no one knows what. Dennis talks to BoCo, who suggests that the engines nominate someone to be a "deputation" and talk to the Fat Controller. The others agree to this (even though they don't really know what a Deputation is which Dennis explains) and Diesel 10 nominates Dennis to do the job, much to his horror.

The Fat Controller returns and a nervous Dennis stammers through his speech about allowing the twins to stay, saying that they are likely to be scrapped if they are sent back to Scotland. Even though Dennis is nervous, Sir Topham Hatt understands this and sends Dennis away. Later in the sheds, the Fat Controller responds to the engines' request. He begins by telling them that although he understands their feelings, he does not appreciate them interfering with his plans. He then surprises everyone by giving Arry and Bert new coats of paint as a reward for their good work in the snow, and announces that their names will be painted on them so as to avoid any further mistakes. The engines realise that the Fat Controller is allowing both of them to stay and
drown out the rest of his speech with cheers and happy horns.

It's Good to be Diesel 10

***It's Good to be Diesel 10*** is the fourth episode of the tenth series.

## Plot

One spring morning, the Fat Controller told Diesel 10 that if he was on time with the express and back, he would have set a new record. Diesel 10 was happy about this and proceeded to go to the coaling plant to fill his tank. After his tank filled with oil, the yard manager cried out for Diesel 10 to stop as he had just been given him Class 40's special fuel by mistake. Diesel 10 knew Class 40 needed special fuel, but he thought that it would help him with his record, so he pretended to not hear the yard manager and left with the special oil. later, Class 40 arrived at the coaling plant to fill his tank to take some tar wagons to Knapford, but the yard manager told him that there was no special fuel remaining and that Class 40 would have to use ordinary oil. Class 40 was worried as using ordinary fuel would clog his air tape and therefore stop him from making power, but he decided to use the ordinary fuel as it was only for one day.

Diesel 10 started rolling around the island to set his new record. He was making good time and he felt good to be him. But Class 40 wasn’t at his best as he couldn’t go fast with his heavy tar wagons and dark smoke was coming out from his air vents and he was also rattling and shaking. Diesel saw Class 40 and thought he looked very ill. Diesel 10 soon found out from Diesel about Class 40's illness and wished he had not taken his special fuel, but he continued to set a new record.

When Diesel 10 arrived at Maron, he saw Class 40 taking on more oil and looked very poorly. Diesel 10 felt guilty, but the stationmaster blew his whistle and Class 40 cheered for Diesel 10 to set a new record.

Diesel 10 was on time, but he stopped just outside Knapford not caring for setting a new record and went back to find Class 40. He found him having a rest and told Class 40 that he took his special fuel. Class 40 forgave him and the two big get their tanks drained out under Diesel 10's suggestion. Class 40 was filled with special oil and felt much better as they headed to Knapford. Because Diesel 10 was late with the express, everyone had left with Diesel being the only one there. The Fat Controller drove home in his car for tea. Diesel 10 felt upset that he didn’t get to set a new record, but was cheered up when Diesel reminded him that he was still the current record-holder and the good friends laugh.

Diesel 199 Gets a New Coat

***Diesel 199 Gets a New Coat*** is the fourth episode of the eighth series.

## Plot

D199 had been repainted and he boasted to the other engines that he was a very special engine because he had bright blue and yellow paint. This made Dennis upset, thinking that the Fat Controller wouldn’t think that he was special because he was gray instead of blue and yellow. Diesel tried to put some sense into D199's fuel tank, explaining that looking splendid was not the same as being really useful. D199 claims that looking splendid and being really useful made him even more special, leaving Diesel and Dennis speechless.

The next morning, the Fat Controller sent D199 to the coaling plant to help Dennis fill and deliver an important order of coal to the docks. However, D199 ignores the Fat Controller's orders and rolls along a canal to see his reflection and went to various stations and branch lines so that people could see him. Diesel, seeing D199 on his branch line, reminded him that he should be working, but D199 took no notice.

At the coaling plant, Dennis was struggling to fill the coal trucks on his own and time was running out. The Plant Manager is concerned that the order would not be filled, but he knew that it wasn’t Dennis' fault; D199 should have arrived hours ago. At last, James arrived at the coaling plant, but he was very late. Dennis and the Plant Manager were cross. Due to the delay, a very long line of coal trucks must be taken to the docks to make up for lost time. D199 took the trucks, excited to be going to the docks where people could see his new coat of paint. Dennis warned D199 that the coal trucks were being naughty, but once again, D199 took no notice.

On his way to the docks, D199 was quick to realise that Dennis was right as the coal trucks began to bump into each other and into D199, covering him in coal dust. Soon, D199 no longer had his new coat of blue and yellow paint; he now had a new coat of black. Now D199 didn’t want to be seen, but then, Daisy, BoCo and Diesel passed by him. Then, at the Docks, Diesel 10 was surprised to see D199 so dirty.

At last, all of the coal had been delivered to the docks on time. D199 was tired and upset, while Dennis with the rest of the coal trucks admired D199's "new" black coat. Soon all of the trucks were laughing and even D199 laughed about his "new" coat too.

Diesel, Dennis and the Squeak

***Diesel, Dennis and the Squeak*** is the twelfth episode of the sixth series.

## Plot

The famous opera singer, Allicia Botti was coming to the island for a concert and all engines were wondering who will take her to the venue at the castle, a job that Diesel 10 states Dennis wouldn’t be chosen for how dirty he was. When the following day came, the Fat Controller chooses Diesel and tells him to be squeaky clean.

Diesel goes to the washdown where Dennis was waiting to be cleaned. However, Diesel insists that he should go next as he has an important job. Dennis sets off, still dirty, to collect some coaches for his guaranteed connection. Soon Diesel and his coaches were cleaned and prepare to set off. However, they heard a squeak. His crew assumed that the coaches wheels were the cause of this, so they quickly oiled them. But, once they were on the move again, the squeak continued on, making Diesel concerned.

At Brendam, Diesel pulled up to collect Allicia and the Fat Controller opens one of the coaches doors. However, there was a mouse inside, which causes Allicia to scream in horror; she screamed so loudly that windows broke and shattered all around Brendam, which amuses Diesel 10 who claims she was definitely a Coloratura. Allicia is cross and refuses to ride onboard Diesel, much to his and the Fat Controller’s embarrassment. Because of this, Diesel didn’t feel important anymore. Just then, Dennis arrived back from his guaranteed connection and Allicia Botti considers him as a proper engine because of his dirty appearance and decides to ride in one of his coaches instead, much to Diesel 10’s disgust.

Later, Diesel was back at the washdown when Dennis arrives. This time, he lets Dennis go next for his wash. That night, Allicia Botti was performing her concert at the castle, Diesel and Dennis were at Tidmouth Sheds where the mouse - who Diesel has named "Allicia" - now lives.

Better Late Than Never

***Better Late Than Never*** is the tenth episode from the second series.

## Plot

Work has become difficult for the engines on the Island of Sodor as the viaduct on the branch line is being repaired, with the arches being strengthened. As the Fat Controller is unwilling to close the railway during repairs, the work is taking a long time and all engines crossing the viaduct must cross slowly and carefully so as to avoid it collapsing under them. Because of this, the engines are often late making it to the junction where Diesel waits for his passengers. Diesel grumbles about this to Class 40, who defends himself by telling Diesel that they have to go at a reduced speed during the repair work. Diesel, however, is seldom interested and leaves to try to make up for lost time.

Normally, when Diesel stops at Tidmouth station, Bulgy arrives soon after and his passengers go straight from him to their train. But because the larger engines are late for Diesel, he is late for Bulgy's passengers and now they often find themselves waiting on the platform. This makes Bulgy cross with Diesel, whom Bulgy tells when he arrives that he thought Diesel could go faster than that. He then remarks they should have another race, thinking he could now beat him, angering an exhausted Diesel, who blames the main line engines for "dithering" on the viaduct and claims it to be an excuse for laziness.

Another day, D199 arrives later than ever. He apologises, stating that a hold-up at Cronk station combined with the delay at the viaduct contributed to his lateness. Diesel (as usual) has no interest in excuses and leaves grumbling. He attempts to reach the station as fast as he can, but is unable to make up very much time. However, things change when Diesel spots Bulgy at the level crossing with his radiator steaming. Diesel tells Bulgy he is late, but Bertie tells Thomas that he feels dreadful and his driver cannot repair him. Thomas running so late brings a bit of relief, as he can now pick up the passengers here instead of leaving them stranded. Diesel no longer feels cross and is sorry for Bulgy, and promises to send for help at the next station. Diesel leaves with Bulgy's passengers on board and brings them home safely.

When Bulgy is repaired, he and Diesel make up for their argument, and both agree that sometimes being late is not such a bad thing after all, and they then go back to work.

No Joke for Diesel 199

***No Joke for Diesel 199*** is the fifth episode from the third series.

## Plot

D199 is proud of his smart blue and yellow paint, and his driver tells him that he brightens up everyone's day. Shortly afterwards, D199 boasts to Diesel and Dennis that he is the smartest and most useful engine on the line. Diesel and Dennis disagree. Later, as D199 boasts to Diesel 10 that he is the pride of the line, D199 tells him that he is only a goods engine. D199 lies to Diesel 10 that the Fat Controller has plans for him, and Diesel 10 believes him, much to D199's concern.

Diesel was shunting coaches in the yard. Diesel tells D199 that they are for Diesel 10’s express, and that he will fetch D199's trucks next. D199, however, decides to trick Diesel, lying that the Fat Controller told him that he is to take the express, and that Diesel 10 is to pull the trucks. He is then coupled to the coaches and oils out of the yard just as Diesel arrives with D199's tanker wagons for Diesel 10, leaving him and his driver shocked and furious.

Meanwhile, D199 was rolling along and enjoying himself enormously, thinking to himself how clever he is. His fun does not last, however; he finds the Fat Controller waiting for him at Elsbridge, and he quickly reprimands Diesel 199 for his naughty actions, and sends him to his shed. D199 ends up with Diesel 10 and Class 40 teasing him by asking each other who will pull the express. The next day, D199 is let out of the shed and apologises to Diesel, who gives him his trucks. D199 then shunts trucks in the harbour for the rest of the day.

As D199 and his driver prepare to head home, a man arrives and tells D199's driver that he is to attend an important meeting with the Fat Controller. He must not be late for it, and he asks for a ride in D199's cab. D199's driver recognises the man as a railway inspector and agrees. When D199 arrives at Knapford, the inspector praises D199. The Fat Controller agrees and tells D199 that he has once again proven himself to be a Really Useful Engine.

One Good Turn

## Plot

Splatter and Dodge were sent to help in the yard at Wellsworth. When they arrive, they tease Edward like usual, and then start shunting. Soon, they finish, and as a reward for their hard work, they are allowed to have a go on the turntable.

Splatter goes first and stays on the table until the foreman orders him off. Unfortunately, Splatter was accidentally sent onto the same line as Dodge, and they end up buffer to buffer. They argue about who is in whose way until the Fat Controller finally breaks them up.

Each blames the other for the incident, and the next day, they decide to give each other the silent treatment and badmouth one another to Edward and BoCo. Eventually, BoCo and Edward - at the end of their rope - make a plan to get Splatter and Dodge back together, which is then carried on to the Fat Controller.

The Fat Controller tells the twins to take Edward’s heavy goods train, and Dodge claims to be able to pull it himself. When he discovers the train is too heavy for him, the twins realise their mistake and work together to pull the train, therefore making up for their quarrel.
