Later, Diesel and Bulgy were at the sheds, when Dennis arrived. He told them he was taking the Fat Controller to the venue. Diesel told him he could see the egg and spoon race there, where the children raced with eggs on spoons. The winner of the race would get a medal. Diesel told Dennis and Bulgy that he wished he could have a medal, and Dennis told him he would have to win a race. Bulgy challenged Diesel to a race to the station. Diesel accepted the challenge and the race began.

Bulgy edged in front at first, but managed to get stuck behind a slow George and Diesel took the lead. However, he didn’t keep the lead for long, as he has to stop to pick up passengers. Bulgy regaind the lead as he rumbled over the bridge. Then, Bulgy had to stop at a level crossing and Diesel took the lead again.

Diesel was almost at the station when he spotted a signalman with a red flag in his hand and the Fat Controller. The Fat Controller explained that the medals were left in his office and asked Diesel to retrieve them. Diesel, no longer caring about the race, rolled away to retrieve the medals.

Down the line, Bulgy arrived at the station having won the race. Bulgy then waited keenly for Diesel, but he never came. Diesel was purring back for the medals. He arrived at Knapford, where the stationmaster gave Diesel’s driver the medals. Diesel arrived at the venue, with the medals, just in time for the medals to be handed out.

The next day, Diesel was at Maithwaite station when the Fat Controller and Bulgy arrived with a surprise for Diesel, despite him not winning the race this time. A boy gave Diesel his own medal and wrapped it around his latter. The Fat Controller and the boy express

Mind that Bike

***Mind that Bike*** is the ninth and final episode of the fourth series.

## Plot

Tom Tipper was the local Sodor postman who takes the mail from Diesel and Dennis’ post trains to deliver to the residents of Sodor. He is very friendly and always helps to load the mail vans, but knows he could never do his job without his trusty post van.

One morning, Tom was absent and his substitute - who was forced to use a bicycle - dumps the mail bags on the platform and leaves without explanation. Dennis’ driver attributes his bad mood to having to use the bike. When Tom does return, Dennis discovers that he has also been given a bike as his van was considered too expensive to run. Due to this, Tom no longer has time to help load the trains, which makes him very upset. Dennis wishes he could cheer Tom up, but is unsure how.

Just as Tom was about to leave, he is called to the Fat Controller's office to sign some important papers. Knowing this will make him very late, he rushes off and - in his haste - leaves his bike propped up against one of Dennis’ mail vans, despite the diesel engine's attempts to stop him. Dennis’ driver does not know this and Dennis couldn’t do anything to keep himself from moving. When he started, Tom's bike gets dragged beneath the train, destroying it in the process.

When Tom returns, Dennis apologies for the predicament. Tom assures Dennis that it was not his fault, but laments the fact that he will now have to deliver all the mail on foot. However, when Dennis returns the next day, he finds that Tom has received a brand new van. Tom explains that the postmaster, after learning about the bike's destruction, decided that the van was worth the expense, and cheerfully goes back to work. Dennis was delighted that he was able to help his friend after all, albeit by accident.

Diesel and the Golden Eagle

***Diesel and the Golden Eagle*** is the eighteenth episode of the ninth series.

## Plot

A golden eagle had been spotted at Bluff's Cove and Diesel and Dennis were hoping to take the birdwatchers to see the golden eagle, but were disappointed when Dennis to take milk to the dairy and Diesel had to take stone to the docks as Daisy was chosen to take the birdwatchers.

When Diesel arrived at the quarry, he was surprised by how long his train was.

On the way to docks, Diesel stopped at a junction where Dennis and Daisy passed by with the birdwatchers. Diesel then had an idea so that he and Dennis could see the eagle. Dennis took half of Diesel's trucks to Brendam while Diesel went to Bluff's Cove and later he could collect the other half of his trucks to the docks while Dennis took his turn to see the golden eagle. Diesel left his trucks in a siding and set off to Bluff's Cove as Dennis backed up to Diesel's train and headed to the docks.

But when Diesel arrived at Bluff's Cove, he was disappointed when he couldn’t see the golden eagle, but Bulgy came in with some news that the eagle had been spotted near Diesel 10's Hill, prompting Diesel to go on a wild goose chase looking for the golden eagle. But all the excitement made Diesel forget all about his trucks of stone to take to the docks and Dennis.

Dennis collected the milk after delivering Diesel's trucks and headed for the dairy. On his way, he saw that Diesel's stone trucks hadn't been delivered. So Dennis decided to take the rest of Diesel's trucks to the docks, not wanting his best friend to get into trouble. Once he had delivered them on time, he headed for the dairy again.

Meanwhile, Diesel was rolling up Diesel 10's Hill and waited for the golden eagle, but was upset to find that it was gone. Suddenly, Diesel remembered that he had forgotten to pick up his stone trucks to take to the docks and Dennis. Diesel raced to the siding to collect his trucks, but they were nowhere to be seen.

Diesel found Dennis who explained he had delivered the last of his trucks, but now he couldn’t deliver his milk because he had run out of fuel. Then Bulgy stopped by and with some more news that the golden eagle had been spotted, but Diesel refused as he had to help Dennis deliver the milk or he would get into trouble. Diesel delivered the milk to the dairy and shunted Dennis.

On the way to the coaling plant, the two were amazed to see not one, but two golden eagles perched on a cliff face. The two engines thought the eagles were wonderful, but not as wonderful as helping friends.

Diesel and the Statue

***Diesel and the Statue*** is the eleventh episode of the ninth series.

## Plot

A statue had been ordered to celebrate the Fat Controller's Railway and Diesel was sent to collect it from Brendam Docks. At Brendam Docks, Diesel was very eager to see the statue. Big Mickey asked if it was because Diesel thought that it might be a statue of him, which made Diesel think it was as the statue's shape, outlined by the tarpaulin, was similar to his own. That night, Diesel couldn’t wait to tell his friends, but they were all asleep. So he woke up Dennis, who told Diesel that having a statue of himself was nice.

The next morning, all of the engines were sent to have a washdown while Diesel collected other things for the statue ceremony. Diesel then began bragging to BoCo and Daisy about it being a statue of him, which made them very cross. When he began to tell Dennis about it, Dennis became fed up and told him that he and the other engines didn’t want to hear about "his statue" or talk to him anymore. After his jobs, Diesel headed back to Tidmouth, determined to put things right with his friends.

However, the Fat Controller was there and was worried; the snow had blocked the tracks to Abbey where the statue ceremony was to take place. Diesel kindly offered to clear the tracks of the snow, the other engines were surprised about this knowing that Diesel hated wearing his snowplough and it would make him late to see the statue, but the Fat Controller agreed. Diesel set to work and felt bad about how egotistical he had been. Soon all of the tracks to Abbey were clear for the engines. However, they were still cross with Diesel.

Suddenly, the snow started to melt off of the statue and to everyone's surprise, it wasn’t a statue of just Diesel; it is a statue of the entire Diesel Team with the Fat Controller. Even Diesel was relieved when he saw the true identity of the statue.

BoCo

* II
* I

**BoCo** is a green mixed-traffic diesel engine who works on the North Western Railway, and is number 2. He runs his own main line with Edward in Wellsworth, where he later moved to upon leaving Tidmouth Sheds. BoCo is one of the oldest engines on Sodor and is occasionally chastised for his age. Despite this, he is wise, optimistic, and clever, spreading his knowledge and encouraging other engines.

## Biography

BoCo has a penchant for telling spooky stories on Halloween that the other engines enjoy. In the fifth series episode Haunted Class 40, Edward told Class 40 that whenever an owl hoots, mist rolls in and when the mist is about, there is a ghost about too. In the sixth series episode Scaredy Engines, he told them a story of a ghost diesel that returns to the smelters in search of his lost whistle every Halloween.

In addition to running his main line, BoCo often acts as a banker for other engines up Diesel 10's Hill to help them when their trains are too heavy. In spite of BoCo's great history with the railway and his good relationship with the other engines, his old age makes some engines think that he is unreliable. Diesel 10 would sometimes still tease and talk down about him, even going as far as suggesting that he should "retire". When Dennis told his driver about this, who told Sir Topham Hatt, he arranged for BoCo to show Bear how to run the loop line, while Class 08 did his work. Unfortunately, Class 08 got stuck on Diesle 10's Hill when the Troublesome Trucks held him back. When Diesel 10 came behind him, he could not push Class 08 up the hill. BoCo was sent to help the double train up and when they arrived at Knapford Station, the Fat Controller rebuked Diesel 10 for his horrible comments about BoCo. Diesel 10 apologised to BoCo the following day and from then on, he never suggested him "retiring".
Diesel 10 and the Gremlin

***Diesel 10 and the Gremlin*** is the third episode of the fifth series.

## Trivia

Diesel 10 is having problems with his fuel, and the fuel lighter jokingly suggests it is due to gremlins. Despite being a joke, Diesel and Dennis get excited, but D199 thinks it is nonsense. The diesels argue about the issue until the Fat Controller arrives and informs the engines that he's got a VIP coming and she has heard a lot about how Really Useful the engines are. After Dennis mentions the gremlins in Diesel 10's fuel, the Fat Controller warns Diesel 10 to be on his best behaviour as he's taking the VIP.

The goods yard's turntable malfunctions with the special coach on it, making Diesel 10 late. However, he makes up for the lost time and manages to get to Kirk Ronan on time. Diesel arrives with the special passenger and Diesel 10 takes her to Wellsworth. On the way, Diesel 10 goes at high speed, much to the passenger's disliking. At Wellsworth, the passenger's Dalmatian runs away after being frightened by Diesel 10's loud horn and, after confronting a bull in a field, runs into Diesel's cab and rides there during the trip to the docks.

At Brendam, Diesel's driver inquires about the dog's name, to which the Fat Controller's VIP decides to rename him "Gremlin" after the day's events. After the Fat Controller laughs at having finally met one, he reveals the woman is his mother and that she agrees with him about how Really Useful the engines are, to which he adds that his mother is always right.

A Close Shave

***A Close Shave*** is the ninth episode from the second series.

## Plot

After being framed by Thomas for telling lies about the big diesels to the Troublesome Trucks, Class 08 sadly goes to Wellsworth and tells BoCo about what has happened. BoCo assures Class 08 that everything will be alright and suggests helping him with his goods train, which cheers Class 08 up.

The two diesels work hard all afternoon to make the trucks behave while taking them up Diesel 10's Hill. Once at the top, Class 08 says goodbye to BoCo and he heads back to the station. As he coasts down the hill, enjoying the breeze, he suddenly hears a guard's whistle. He has been knocked out of his van, as BoCo's trucks have broken away and are racing towards Class 08 at breakneck speed, intending to derail him.

Class 08 hurries down the branch line, trying his hardest to outrun the trucks, but they gradually catch up to him until they finally hit him on the viaduct and begin pushing him. Just as they are starting to regain control, Class 08 and his driver see D199 on the same track, pulling a passenger train out of Crosby Station. Class 08 puts all of his weight against the trucks, but is unable to stop. He shuts his eyes and prepares for the worst, but gets diverted onto a siding at the last second after being slowed down long enough for D199 and his coaches to clear the platform and the points.

While Diesel arrives to help clear the mess, the Fat Controller comes in to speak with the barber, who is still fuming. The Fat Controller explains that Class 08 and his crew helped to prevent a much larger accident with D199, adding that it was a "very close shave". The barber quickly washes the lathering off of Class 08's face and apologizes for misjudging him.

After the trucks have been pulled away, Diesel pulls Class 08 out of the wrecked barbershop, and the Fat Controller tells him he will be returning to the yard once he is mended. Class 08 is worried at first, believing that the big diesels still hate him. The Fat Controller, however, replies that he never believed Thomas and sent him packing; the other diesels are now sorry and want Class 08 to come back.

A few days later, after being mended, Class 08 returns to the shed where the other diesels welcome him back with happy horns, as he proudly takes his place among them.

Squeak, Rattle and Roll

***Squeak, Rattle and Roll*** is the tenth episode of the eighth series.

## Plot

Diesel 10 thinks pulling the express makes him the most important engine on Sodor. While departing from Brendam Docks with the Express, he ends up making Thomas cross when he had to move to let Diesel 10 through. And to spite him, tells Diesel 10 that diesel engines would soon be scrapped. Diesel 10 dismisses the claims as nonsense. But when he started to hear a squeaking noise from his wheels, he started to fear if Thomas would be telling the truth, but when he encounters a hill, he discovers that the squeak disappears if he went slowly.

The next day, Diesel 10 was given the job of taking the Fat Controller and some children to Brendam for a boat trip. As he was on his way to Knapford, he picked up speed and his squeak began to come back again, and eventually started noticing a rattle. Diesel 10 started to slow down again while having to choose between being late for going slowly or being scrapped when he starts to pick up speed. This results in the Fat Controller questioning Diesel 10 for going slow and reminds him that he was the fastest engine on Sodor. Proud at these words, Diesel 10 picked up speed and then heard his squeak and rattle, followed by a knocking noise. However, Diesel 10 ignored them as he ended up thinking that if this was going to be his last trip, he was going to make it count by going as fast as he could.

At Brendam, the children make it on time, while the Fat Controller noticed the noises and didn't have Diesel 10 scrapped, but instead be sent to the repair yard. Diesel 10 spent the following day in the repair yard having his axles and wheels thoroughly lubricated. He finally no longer making any more noises when he had to run quickly.

However, while on his way to the coal mine, Andreas saw an old line leading towards some bushes. Andreas breaks through the barrier, and Fred had seen everything. He asked Andreas why he broke through the barrier, and Andreas told him he wanted to have an adventure. Fred tells him that he and Andreas had work to do and not have an adventure right now. Ignoring Fred's reminder, Andreas went down the old line which lead to an old mine entrance. Carelessly, Andreas crashed into a roof support, causing the entrance to collapse behind him.

Meanwhile at the coal yards, Andreas hadn’t arrived yet. So Fred attempted to look for him.

Meanwhile, Andreas carried on into the mine until he hit something. At first thinking they were buffers. Once he heard a squeaking noise and realized that he ran into some coal trucks.

## Plot

A set of yellow twin diesels named 'Arry and Bert have arrived from England to work on the railway; however, the Fat Controller has only sent for one engine. He still intends to send one of the engines back to England.

A brake van named Toad in the yard takes a disliking to Bert and causes trouble whenever Bert has to take him out, making his trains late and Bert is worried. 'Arry, his twin, is angry at Toad for treating his twin in such a cruel manner and bumps him violently, threatening him witt more to come if he misbehaves. Toad starts behaving better afterwards. One day, however, 'Arry loses control while reversing onto some slippery rails and accidentally crashes into buffer-first a signal box. The Fat Controller is quite disappointed and speaks severely to 'Arry, as he had intended to keep him and send Bert back home. Now 'Arry will need to have his buffer mended and D199 will have to do his work, which The Fat Controller knows he will not like.

The Fat Controller is proven right; D199 is very angry about the extra work and grumbles dreadfully. Bert mentions about D199's accident with the tar wagons, worsening his bad mood. He takes a train of trucks, including Toad, who decides to make work difficult for D199 and has the trucks hold back, quickly tiring D199 out.

Meeting Bert at Wellsworth, D199 asks for his assistance in climbing up Diesel 10's Hill and Bert agrees.

The engines were very busy delivering items to help set up the fair and all were looking forward to it, especially Diesel. However, he was told by the Fat Controller to take some of Farmer McColl's chickens from Dryaw to Brendam Docks. When Diesel arrived at Dryaw, Farmer McColl wasn't there; his truck had a flat tyre, so Diesel had to wait. Then, D199 arrived and told Diesel that he could go over to the fair and be back before Farmer McColl showed up. Diesel agreed with D199 and left Dryaw to see the children at the fair.

However, Diesel began to worry that Farmer McColl would be a Dryaw while he was gone or Diesel would be held up by a red signal on the way back, which would make the Fat Controller cross if he was late with the chickens. Diesel put his job on first and reversed back to Dryaw. By the time Farmer McColl arrived at Dryaw with the chickens, it was already evening. Once the chickens were loaded up into the vans, Diesel left for Brendam Docks.

At Abbey, Diesel met Diesel 10, who told Diesel that if he was fast, he would be on time to see the fair. So when their signals turned green, Diesel 10 departed with the express, closely followed by Diesel who sped away. However, Diesel 10’s next signal was green while Diesel's was red. Diesel braked hard and the chickens got very cross. As soon as he stopped, Diesel remembered that he was told to go slowly with the chickens, which he did for the rest of the journey. By the time he got to Brendam Docks, it was already night and Diesel knew he wouldn’t be able to go to the fair.

However, Diesel was asked to get a new generator for the fair. Once there, the generator was unloaded and put to work, bringing the fair back to life. Diesel was very happy that, against all the uncertainties, he was finally at the fair.

After trying to help his friends, Dennis quickly remembered that he had not delivered any of the fuel. To make matters worse, Daisy and D199 had run out of it. Dennis now realized how wrong he was to abandon his job and rushed away to collect his coal trucks.

Very soon, thanks to Dennis, the fuel towers were refilled and all of the engines were on the move again. At last, the funfair was ready and Dennis arrived just as the entertainment began. Now Dennis knew that delivering fuel was a very important job.

One Halloween, after BoCo tells the other diesels a story of a ghost diesel that returns to the Smelters in search of his lost horn, The Fat Controller sends Diesel, Dennis, and Class 08 to collect a special from the smelters. Dennis, however, can't stop thinking of BoCo's ghost story, which leads to Diesel teasing Dennis; after making him look up to see twisted scrap hanging from the ceiling, Diesel keeps on teasing Dennis about being scared of ghosts. Class 08 tries to comfort Dennis, but Dennis claims he's not scared and goes back to work.

When the yard manager asks for a diesel to get another load, Class 08 volunteers Diesel to give him a taste of his own medicine. Diesel agrees, but is not so confident when he is all alone, seeing the twisted scrap metal and hearing sparks going off. After he ends up reversing into a smelting shed, he runs into some chains, wheeshes and sets off an old diesel horn. He panics and dashes out of the Smelters, thinking the ghost diesel train is after him. He even races past Class 08 and Dennis at Callan Station. Class 08 is very convinced his trick had worked.

Dennis is concerned when he cannot find Diesel at the Halloween fireworks display, although Dennis believes Diesel deserves to miss the fireworks after his teasing. Dennis dismisses this and goes looking for Diesel. He eventually finds Diesel at Tidmouth Sheds and forgives him for his teasing, and they both agree everyone can be scared some of the time. The two, happy to be friends again, watch the fireworks together.

## Plot

Salty is enjoying his new live on the Island of Sodor, but because of his paintwork, D199 often mocks them and calls him "dirty object". One day, Salty asks why D199 is blue and D199 says that it is because he is a splendid diesel who is never dirty. Salty then teases D199 by reminding him of the time he needed bootlaces to mend a hole in his coaches, much to D199's anger.

Later, at the end of the line, D199 leaves his coaches behind and stops at several stations to pick up trucks for a slow goods train at each station, which he despises. Although the trucks initially behave well, D199 is so rough with them that they decide to pay him back. At the top of Diesel 10's Hill, D199 should remember to have his brakes pinned down, given his previous accident with trucks, but he is too busy thinking of what he will say back to Salty. Seizing the opportunity, the trucks push D199 down the hill. Unable to stop, D199 flies through Maron Station and crashes into a line of tar tankers. Although D199 is not badly hurt, he is left completely covered in tar, while the tankers and some of his trucks are destroyed.

As Dennis and Salty arrive at the scene, they both tease D199, pretending not to recognize him due to his dirty paint. They take D199 back to Tidmouth Sheds where the Fat Controller is waiting. He commends Dennis and Salty for their hard work and tells D199 he needs to be cleaned immediately. The Fat Controller rewards Salty with a new coat of paint. Salty happily runs off, while D199 watches in silence, knowing full well that he is now the "dirty object".

During the last few days of Bear's visit to the North Western Railway, an engine shortage has occurred and the only engine available is a LMS Stanier Class 5 "Black Five" steam engine. The big engine soon arrives and immediately insults the diesels, stating them to be out of date compared to him.

The diesels are furious, but cannot think of a plan for revenge. There is no need though, as the next day, the wind blows an inspector's hat off and into the engine's smokebox. This causes him to suddenly break down just as he is about to take an express, much to his fury and to Bear and Class 08's amusement. As the two diesel engines shunt the failed Stanier Class 5 into the shed, the inspector sees his hat jammed in the engine's smokebox , but the Fat Controller is more concerned about the train being late.

Bear - who has anticipated a long run on his last day - volunteers with Class 08 to pull the train. Pulling together, the two engines set off down the Branch Line, passing BoCo's station and struggling over Diesel 10's hill. They then in record time reach Crovan's Gate, where Diesel 10 waits to take over from halfway.

Bear leaves the next day and the diesels bid him a fond farewell, hoping to see him again soon. Meanwhile, the engine creeps sulkily away leaving only two things to remember him by; a rather nasty smell and a battered bowler hat.
