Salty's New Shed

***Salty's New Shed*** is the sixth episode of the tenth series.

## Plot

One blustery morning, Diesel was taking some trucks to Arlesdale End when he saw Salty coming out of his shed. Salty was surprised to see that he was all wet. Once Salty had left, Diesel looked inside his shed and saw the roof of the shed had holes in it. Diesel went to Knapford to tell the Fat Controller about Salty’s shed and he agreed that Salty’s roof must be repaired. Salty arrived to pick up some passengers. Diesel told Salty the news, but Salty looked worried and left after all his passengers had boarded his train.

Later, Diesel picked up some workmen from Maithwaite and took them to Salty's shed as they started to take it apart. At a junction, Diesel met Dennis who was delivering a bird house to Farmer McColl for his doves. Diesel told Dennis about helping to build a new roof for Salty’s shed. After Dennis suggested that Salty would be very happy, Diesel said he didn’t look happy when he told him. Dennis thought that Salty liked his old roof.

Later, Diesel picked up some lumber for the roof and set off for Salty's shed. On the way, he met up with Salty and showed him the lumber. Salty wanted to tell Diesel something, but Diesel left before he could. When the roof was repaired, Diesel was proud of it, but Salty didn't seem happy. Salty told Diesel that he was sad because he liked listening to the birds that roosted in the old shed's roof to make their nest and that it was also their home too. Salty rolled sadly into his shed, leaving Diesel very surprised and terrible.

Diesel had never felt so miserable, until he saw the birdhouse that Dennis had delivered to Farmer McColl's Farm for his doves which gave him an idea. He went back to the lumber yard and told the workmen to build a bird house out of the old lumber from Salty’s old roof. Diesel delivered the new bird house to Salty’s shed, and it made the two engines very happy.

The Diseamie

***The Diseamie*** is the thirteenth episode from the second series.

## Plot

Splatter and Dodge are diesel shunter twins who work at a china clay quarry. Their jobs are to take the china clay in trucks along the main line for engines and ships.

One day, Splatter and Dodge arranged some trucks and leave to pick up more, but return to find them gone. Their drivers notice a patch of water on the tracks and suspect that a steam engine is responsible for taking the trucks. Mishearing this as "diseamie," the twins remember a notice in their shed saying "coughs and sneezles spread diseasels," and they argue over who is responsible. Their drivers intervene and make a plan to get the trucks back which involves removing the twins' nameplates and making them identical, as the steamie is unaware that they are twins.

The twins find the trucks in a yard, with a blue tender engine at the front. Dodge hides behind, with Splatter going forward to demand the trucks back. The steamie claims the trucks are his and tries to shoo Splatter away, but Splatter reverses behind the trucks and Dodge rides forward surprising the steamie (thinking it is the same engine). This continues for a while, causing the steamie to get dizzy. The twins then reveal themselves to him.

BoCo arrives at the scene and asks what Splatter & Dodge are doing there. They claim that the steamie stole their trucks, but BoCo scolds them for their rudeness. The twins apologise and the steamie forgives them. He introduces himself as Edward and explains that he got his trucks mixed up with Splatter and Dodge's. BoCo then sends the twins to take their lot back once they have picked up Edward’s trucks in exchange for theirs. After Splatter & Dodge leave, BoCo tells Edward that they do not mean any harm but can be maddening at times. Edward laughs and replies that "maddening" is the word.

Diesel 10 and the Engineer

**Diesel 10 and the Engineer** is the fourth episode of the eleventh series.

## Plot

One day, all the points on the Fat Controller's Railway were jammed, and Diesel 10 was asked to collect an engineer from Maron.

When he arrived, he saw a man with a toolbox, thinking he was the engineer and had him climb onboard. The stationmaster warned him to wait for Bulgy to bring more passengers, but Diesel 10, knowing that fixing the points was important, left anyway. However, Diesel 10 didn’t know that the engineer was in fact one of Bulgy’s passengers back at Maron and that the man in his express wasn’t the engineer.

When Diesel 10 arrived at the signal box, Diesel told the man about the points, but he says that he was a carpenter who thought Diesel 10 was taking him to Brendam. Diesel 10 now realized he had left the engineer behind and that he had to go back to get him, but the signalman told him he couldn’t go back on the express line with his coaches. Diesel then suggested that Diesel 10 used his line to reverse down to Maron. Diesel 10 left his coaches and reversed to the next station, but Bert was in the way. Diesel 10 told him to move, but Bert told him he could only go as far as where 'Arry was. Thinking quickly, Diesel 10 suggested Bert reversed to the next station to get 'Arry to reverse to Maron to collect the engineer and then work forwards again. The idea worked and the railway returned to running normally again.

Buffer Bother

***Buffer Bother*** is the eleventh episode of the sixth series.

## Plot

Splatter and Dodge have been working hard in the quarry. One day, the Fat Controller came to inspect the quarry's engines; he discovers Molly and Splatter were in fine condition, but finds that Dodge's buffers were damaged and the Fat Controller sends him to the works to have replacement buffers fitted. Splatter - feeling jealous - tells Dodge that he only needed new buffers because he was clumsy and the two argue. Molly scolds them for being grouchy/crab pots and Splatter went back to work while Dodge leaves.

Splatter, still thinking of Dodge's new buffers, becomes careless, slams a truck into buffers mounted on a wall, causing him to knock a pipe into his air vent and sneeze it out. He tries thinking about birds, trees and anything that might make him forget about Dodge’s new buffers, but it was no use. Molly tells him to be happy that he is in working order (and not in need of new buffers), but Splatter simply huffs and blows soot all over Molly by accident.

When the trucks overhear that Splatter was cross about Dodge getting new buffers, they start teasing him, making him crosser still. Splatter tries to stop the trucks from their teasing by bumping them, but accidentally reverses himself into a ditch with a truck behind him and damages his buffers in the process. Dodge arrived from the works with a new pair of shiny buffers and sees his twin's predicament. When the Breakdown Train arrived to rescue Splatter, the Fat Controller scolds him for his misbehaviour and tells him that before he gets new buffers, he must learn how important it was to be a responsible and reliable engine.

Once Splatter was back on the rails, he compliments Dodge on his new buffers and the two properly make up for their quarrel.

Diesel in Trouble

**Diesel in Trouble** is the eighth episode of the eleventh series.

## Plot

After being sent for maintenance, Diesel was awaiting his final inspection. After Daisy exited the shed, D199 laughed at Diesel and joked that he had broken down, making him cross. Then the Fat Controller came to see if he was ready to collect the school choir for a concert. Diesel knew that if he said he was not ready yet, the choir would get taken by somebody else. so he didn’t listen to him by acting like he was ready and heads off to collect the choir without his final inspection. He soon began to make very unusual noises, which made his coaches wonder if something was wrong. But Diesel was too excited to care.

At Knapford, Diesel arrived to collect the school choir. Daisy noticed the noise and asked who was making it. Realising it was Diesel, she asked if he had his final inspection. Diesel just said he was fine, and he set off to deliver the children. But when he stopped at a signal, he was red in the face and felt very tired. Salty asked if Diesel took on enough fuel at the fitter's yard, but once again, Diesel claimed that nothing was wrong with him.

At a level crossing, Diesel met Dennis. He also asked if everything was alright, but Diesel still refused to admit that there was something wrong with him. But as he left, he began to blow black smoke. He slowed down, diverted onto a siding, and while grinding to a halt, he broke down. Diesel felt awful, thinking he had let everybody down. He saw Diesel 10, but he was too busy pulling the express to help him. Then Diesel heard D199; D199 found it very funny that he had actually broken down, but he promised to get the choir to the concert on time. Later, Class 40 came and took Diesel back to the repair yard to be mended properly. At the repair yard, he was repaired and has his final inspection, before going back to collect the choir.

Diesel 199 Goes Too Far

***Diesel 199 Goes Too Far*** is the sixteenth episode of the eighth series.

## Plot

One day, Dennis was taking the mail and pulls up alongside D199 at a red signal. His signal turned to green and D199 was annoyed as he was there before Dennis; but his driver explained that Dennis' mail was more important than D199's slow-goods. Later, D199 was still grumpy when Diesel cut in front of him at the fuel tower because of the same reason.

Later, D199 was given an important job to deliver coal to all the stations. Feeling important, D199 refused to wait to take on more fuel and wouldn’t help BoCo with his job. However, once he collected the coal trucks and started his job, D199 soon ran out of fuel. Then BoCo pulled alongside with his passenger train, but he couldn’t help D199 as he was running late. BoCo warned the signalman up ahead, and soon, Toby arrived to help D199, who finds himself being scolded by the tram engine for not helping BoCo. Toby then reminds him that no job was more important than helping another engine.

With Toby's help, D199 had more fuel and carried on with his deliveries. When he saw Thomas broken down, he remembered Toby's words and helped Thomas to the repair yard. After that, he carried on with his coal deliveries. The next day, the Fat Controller praises D199 for learning his lesson by helping Thomas and getting his job done.

Diesel and the Pigs

**Diesel and the Pigs** is the third episode of the thirteenth series.

## Plot

Farmer Trotter asked Diesel to collect some straw for the piglets, which were soon to be born. But on the way, Diesel saw other things he thought the piglets would like, so he collected milk from Dennis, apples from D199, and chestnuts from the children, completely filling his flatbed.

When Diesel got to McColl Farm, Farmer McColl told Diesel that there was no room for the straw. So, Diesel took the unusual cargo to Farmer Trotter, who told Diesel that piglets didn’t like apples, chestnuts and milk as the straw was the main priority as soon as they were born.

Farmer Trotter told Diesel to empty his flatbed and collect the straw. On the way, Dennis and D199 try to tell Diesel their ideas about what the piglets would like, but Diesel had no time to listen to them as he was running late. Finally, Diesel collected the straw from Farmer McColl and rushed back to the pig farm. Diesel couldn’t see the pigs thinking he was too late, but Farmer Trotter told him that he was just in time. One of the piglets took a shine to Diesel, so Farmer Trotter named the piglet, Diesel.

## Plot

One day, Daisy was taking visitors to the ruined castle, where a queen once lived. Daisy wished she could be a queen, since they tell everyone what to do. She decided to visit Dennis and Salty in the shunting yard, which was just down the line from the castle while waiting for the visitors to explore the castle.

Salty and Dennis were waiting to take away some trucks, and Daisy decided to play at being "Queen for the Day." Salty however, thought Daisy idea was silly, as she needed to be clever and know the right thing to do. Daisy crossly claimed she always knew what to do, but Salty just laughed at her and made Daisy crosser, wanting to prove Salty that she did know best. Before leaving with his trucks, Salty told Dennis if he needed help, then Salty would help him once he got back. Not long after, Salty left with his trucks. Dennis was struggling to move his line of trucks. This gave Daisy the perfect chance to prove that she knew best. She told Dennis to take his trucks along her track, which he does. However, Daisy soon heard a loud crash in the distance and went to investigate.

When Daisy saw what had happened, she then realized that telling Dennis to go on her track, he had crashed into Molly, who was on the same line and the trucks had knocked over a telegraph pole on the line. Then Salty ran into the wreckage too, damaging his buffers in the process. Daisy knew that she wasn’t as clever as she thought. With Salty’s advice, Daisy got the stationmaster at Maithwaite to call for help. Soon, Dennis and Salty were back on the rails, though Salty’s front was still badly damaged. The Fat Controller was very cross with Daisy for causing trouble, but Daisy had learnt her lesson; from now on, she will always leave the "knowing the right thing" job to Salty.

Diesel Gets it Right

***Diesel Gets it Right*** is the twelfth episode of the eighth series.

## Plot

An overnight storm had swept across Sodor and had caused a lot of damage. The Fat Controller assigns his diesels jobs to help clean up the island. Diesel 10 and D199 hoped to make as many journeys as possible, so did Diesel. Diesel 10 went to the timber yard, D199 collecting workmen, and Salty going to the builders for new roof tiles. Diesel was sent to Maron, where Farmer McColl was waiting with boxes of newly-laid eggs. Once the eggs were loaded into the van, Diesel was keen to be off, but Farmer McColl was going with him, as his eggs must be delivered safely and Diesel must go slowly. This was the last thing Diesel wants; a slow journey which might take him all day. Diesel gave a sad toot of his horn and pulled away very slowly with the eggs.

However, Diesel stopped at a crossing to let Diesel 10 pass with the express; he had already done his timber delivery, which made Diesel sad. At Maithwaite, four boxes of eggs were unloaded for the village store, and D199, delivering workmen to fix the station roof, tells Diesel that he was on his third journey. Diesel carried on, feeling miserable. Diesel soon met Salty taking on fuel. Even the dockyard diesel was on his second journey.

Diesel then thought it wasn't fair that the other engines could go faster than he can, so he decided to be fast and careful, but Diesel was going too fast and Farmer McColl tells him to slow down, but he didn’t hear and clattered over some points, causing some eggs to fall off the pile and break on the floor of the van. When Diesel approached a red signal, Diesel stops by Farmer McColl's orders. The Farmer checked the eggs in the van, and saw that a few of them were broken. Diesel apologies and promised to go slow.

On his way to the docks, Thomas heard an impatient D199 blowing his horn behind him, but Diesel ignored him and carries on slowly. That night, the Fat Controller was pleased with his engines, but Diesel felt unhappy that he only made one journey and broke some eggs. However, the Fat Controller tells Diesel that Farmer McColl gave him the broken eggs for his breakfast and that Diesel was still really useful for doing his job right.

Toby's Stormy Tale

***Toby’s Stormy Tale*** is the sixth episode of the seventh series.

## Plot

It was a sunny day at the docks, and Toby warned Diesel and Dennis that a storm was coming. But the two diesel shunters begin to mimic his voice, which offended Toby without knowing it but was glad to be sent to collect Derek from the smelters. Daisy rolled up wondering what was wrong. Toby told her that no one liked being made fun of by silly small diesels and left for the smelters. Daisy knew who Toby was talking about and set off to find Diesel and Dennis.

Dark clouds filled the sky when Daisy found Diesel and Dennis, who were still mimicking Toby's voice again. Daisy gets cross and scolded the two engines for offending Toby, who agreed to go apologise to him, but he was nowhere to be seen and the two became worried. Meanwhile, Toby arrived at the smelters yard to pick up Derek, and the two set off down the line.

On the way home, the storm had arrived and a fuse blew in the lighthouse, confusing a ship's captain at sea. However, Toby and Derek saw the lighthouse keeper, who informed them that the lighthouse's light has gone out and that the generator was broken down. Toby then suggested using Derek's engine to power the generator. Derek was attached to the generator and the light was back on just as the ship was about to be in danger and they went back.

When Toby and Derek arrived at the docks the next day, they were delighted to be lauded by, amongst others, the ship captain and the Fat Controller. Then Dennis and Diesel showed up and apologized for teasing him, but the reason they were imitating him was because they though Toby was grand, for which Toby was flattered.

Diesel and the Trucks

***Diesel and the Trucks*** is the sixth episode of the first series.

## Plot

Diesel is fed up with his job of shunting coaches and complains relentlessly to the other diesels about it every night saying that he wishes to see the world for a change, despite the others taking little notice. One night, BoCo comes to the shed and feels sorry for Diesel. BoCo offers to let Diesel take his goods train, while he shunts coaches for him. Diesel happily agrees.

The next morning, their drivers agree and Diesel sets off happily for the yard. Troublesome Trucks talk a lot, do not attend to what they are doing and often play tricks on engines who are not used to them. BoCo is well aware of this and has warned Diesel to be careful but he is too excited to listen. Diesel prepares his train and once coupled up, he starts to pull, but the trucks are not ready. Despite their cries to and wait, Diesel just ignores them as he rolls out of the station rather stubbornly.

Diesel goes faster and faster passing through Class 40's Tunnel and the junction along the journey, but the increased speed makes the trucks very cross. Diesel eventually slows down while climbing Diesel 10's Hill, but as his driver is trying to apply the brakes at the top, the trucks begin to push him down the hill. Diesel loses control of the trucks as they rush into Maron. He swerves into a siding at the goods yard and shuts his eyes until finally he stops in front of the buffers, narrowly preventing an accident. The Fat Controller, having seen everything, questions him why he came in so fast. Diesel explains that the trucks pushed him, while the Fat Controller advises Diesel that he has a lot to learn about trucks and that after pushing them about in the yard for a few weeks, he will know much more about them as BoCo. And then he will be a Really Useful Engine.

The Sad Story of Class 40

***The Sad Story of Class 40*** is the third episode of the first series.

## Plot

It is a very rainy day on Sodor and a big green diesel named Class 40 is pulling a passenger train. He runs into a tunnel and stops there, not wanting to go any further. Class 40's driver argue with him, but he refuses to come out, reasoning that the rain will spoil his green paint. The guard tries blowing his whistle and waving his flag, but Class 40 instead blows smoke at him.

Just then, another passenger train arrives and on board is the railway director Sir Topham Hatt, better known as the Fat Controller. He decides that Class 40 will be pulled out of the tunnel. Attaching a rope to Class 40, all the passengers try and pull him except for the Fat Controller, citing it as his doctor's orders. When Class 40 does not move, the passengers move to the other end of the tunnel and then they try to push Class 40 out, again without the Fat Controller's help, but with the same results.

The passengers point out to Class 40 that the rain has stopped, but Class 40 still refuses to move, believing that the rain will start again. Diesel arrives to help and tries to push Class 40 out, but even with another engine pushing, Class 40 remains in the tunnel. Finally, the Fat Controller admits defeat and, having had enough of Class 40's stubbornness, tells him that they will leave him there. Soon the rails are taken up and a brick wall is erected in front of Class 40.

Now Class 40 can only sit and watch the other engines pass through the other tunnel. He soon regrets his actions as he sees BoCo and Diesel 10 pass by. BoCo always honks hello with his horn, while Diesel 10 always laughs at Class 40, saying it serves him right. Class 40 has no smoke to answer them and the soot and dirt from the tunnel has ruined his paint anyway.

Bulgy

**Bulgy** is a red double-decker bus who works alongside Diesel's Main Line. He is owned by Sodor Roadways.

## Biography

Bulgy raced Diesel in 1948 after claiming he was the faster of the two but lost after having to stop at a traffic light.

When Diesel's driver did not come into work, Bulgy promised to help his passengers catch BoCo's train. However, he was late at the junction and missed him at the station. Bulgy chased after BoCo and almost caught him at the next station, but arrived just as he left. Due to being able to climb hills better than him, Bertie finally caught up to BoCo at the third station. Edward apologised to Bertie for the chase and the passengers cheered at him.

When the Viaduct was being repaired, the Branch Line engines were delayed in bringing Diesel his passengers, thus making Diesel late in meeting Bulgy at the stations along the branch. Bulgy teased Diesel about being slow because of this and even challenged him to another race, but had to eat his words after breaking down. Diesel took his passengers home and called for help at the next station. When he was repaired, Bulgy apologised to Diesel for teasing him and thanked him for helping his passengers.

When BoCo had an accident on the day before he was to take the Brass Band to a concert, Bulgy had to take them instead but got stuck in the mud again. Luckily, BoCo was repaired and took the Brass Band to their concert.

Bulgy is continuously alluding to his race with Diesel and how he could win next time. He actually raced Diesel again and won after Diesel got side-tracked with collecting the sports medals.

Fish

***Fish*** is the eighth episode of the fourth series.

## Plot

A special load of fish is ordered, for which extra vans were needed for The Flying Kipper. To Class 40's frustration, the only ones available are old and unused. Class 08 shunts them into position and moments later, Diesel arrives with the post train. He warns Class 08 to take care. Class 40 was still complaining about his extra load, but his driver tells him that at least another engine will be helping them up Diesel 10's Hill.

At Wellsworth, Class 08 was waiting for Class 40 while workmen light up his lamp and his water tank was filled. After Class 40 arrives, Class 08 moves to the back of the train to help him to the top of Diesel 10’s Hill without being coupled up so Class 40 can continue on. As the train nears the top of the hill, Class 40 begins to inadvertently pull away from Class 08 while the tail lamp on the last van falls off, causing Class 08 to lose sight of the train as he tries to catch up. He tried to honk, but Class 40 doesn't hear him. Worse still, Class 40 slows down as he feels his train growing heavier. Class 08 then accidentally crashes into the last van, causing loads of fish to spill out, and derails himself in the process. Class 40 soon stops as soon as he hears the crash. And the bad smell of fish hung in the air all night long.

The mess was cleaned up later that morning and the fallen tail lamp was found at the bottom of the hill. The Fat Controller tells Class 08 that the accident was not his fault and that the crew should have fitted the tail lamp on properly, and assures him that he will be in working order again. Class 08 reflects that Diesel's earlier advice about fish was right, and tells the Fat Controller that they got him in "a right pickle."

Molly

* II
* I

**Molly** is a privately-owned quarry steam engine who works for the Ffarquhar Quarry Company, based at Ffarquhar Quarry. She also works at the Sodor Slate Quarry. Her main job is to shunt trucks around the quarry, but she also takes occasional goods trains and does other temporary duties around the island when needed.

## Biography

Molly continuously put the trucks at Ffarquhar Quarry in different places, much to Salty's frustration. Salty finally left Molly to put the trucks wherever she wanted. Molly was supported to do so by Thomas and took the trucks to a level crossing, where the trucks held her back and she got stuck on the crossing, trapping Bulgy. Molly was rescued by Salty and sent back to the quarry. She felt embarrassed after the accident and upset when she was not allowed to leave the quarry. Dennis tried to knock some sense into her, but she refused to listen. She eventually made a plan with the trucks to go as far up the line as possible, but this resulted in putting Toby in danger. Molly rescued Salty and the Fat Controller let her go further down the line occasionally.

In the fourth series, Molly was one of the engines who took over the jobs of the engines who went to England. In the fifth series, she had clearly matured and she and Salty received help at the quarry from Bear, who was visiting the railway.

In the sixth series, she was able to keep Splatter and Dodge in order. When Toby came to work at the quarry, he was upset that he was not working by the sea, so Toby did her best to comfort him while trying to stop Splatter and Dodge from complaining about Toby's talent with working with trucks. Molly tried to stop Splatter from being so jealous and grumpy when Dodge went to get new buffers.

In the seventh series, Derek was sent to help Molly and the twins. Molly got on well with Derek and helped him out of a rockslide caused by Splatter and Dodge. In the eight series, Mavis was one of the steam engines given bad water. This resulted in her and the other engines breaking down, so Diesel collected new water and helped them.

Diesel 10 Takes a Shortcut

**Diesel 10 Takes a Shortcut** is the sixth episode of the twelfth series.

## Plot

Some workmen and a group of railway inspectors were waiting at Great Waterton. Diesel 10 tried to take a shortcut to beat Lincoln there, but when he ignored advice from Class 08, D5701 and the Spiteful Brake Van, he ended up getting lost. After banging into Dodge's log truck, spilling logs onto Lincoln's line, he realized that trying to take a shortcut hadn't been such a good idea after all. Diesel 10 knew he must stop Lincoln from hitting the logs, so he asked for directions from the other engines on how to get down to Lincoln’s line. He managed to stop Lincoln just in time. The two went to Great Waterton, and as a sign of friendship, Diesel 10 allowed Lincoln to take the inspectors.

One day, Diesel was given the task to take important visitors on a tour of the Island. Diesel 10 didn’t think that Diesel could handle that, as he was a big engine, he could show the visitors all the sights in one day. So Diesel decided to prove Diesel 10 wrong by taking the visitors to as many sights as possible. However, Diesel only succeeds in causing trouble as he accidentally leaves all of his passengers behind at Brendam Docks, Black Loch, and Callan Castle.

At the Fishing Village, Bulgy arrived carrying the stranded passengers. After Bulgy told Diesel what he did, Diesel realized that he left all the passengers behind. Quickly, Diesel went back over his tracks to collect the important visitors and carried on with the tour.

However, when Diesel stopped at a signal by the seaside, he decided to allow the visitors to spend the rest of the day at the beach. The visitors enjoyed the fun at the beach and so did Diesel. Diesel 10 arrived to tease Diesel, but Diesel told him that it was better for the visitors to see one place properly than lots of places in a hurry.

Diesel and the Circus

***Diesel and the Circus*** is the eleventh episode of the eighth series.

## Plot

The circus was coming to the Island of Sodor and all the engines were excited and wanted to take the circus train. The Fat Controller gives Diesel the job to take the circus train and tells him to share the load with another engine if the train gets too heavy. When Diesel left, D199 and Dennis were hoping to pull the circus with Diesel soon.

When Diesel arrived at the docks, he was amazed by all the circus cars he could see. When Diesel backed up to his coach, Toby rolled up and asked Diesel if he wanted him to help. Even though Diesel knew the train was heavy and what the Fat Controller said, he still wanted to pull the train by himself and keep the glory to himself. Diesel rolled along the countryside and was having so much fun as the people at the station cheered for him. Soon Diesel stopped by a bridge where Dennis was waiting and some children waved to Diesel. Dennis asked Diesel if he needed any help, but Diesel says no, as he wanted to have the fun to himself and rolls on, leaving a very disappointed Dennis.

But soon, Diesel started to get tired as he noticed how heavy the train was. Diesel then saw D199, who offered to help, but Diesel still wanted to pull it on his own. Soon Diesel wasn’t having fun anymore pulling the train by himself. Then Diesel’s side rods break from the strain of him pulling the heavy train, forcing him to stop.

While the driver called for help, the performers tried to cheer Diesel up by practising, but he didn’t cheer up a bit. Then D199 and Dennis arrived with hay for the horses and Diesel's new side rods. Diesel says to them that he wished he had asked them to share the train with him. Dennis and D199 agreed to help Diesel so that they could have fun together and they both watched the performers while Diesel was fitted with his new siderods. Dennis and D199 were coupled up and they helped Diesel with the train. While they watched the circus tent being put up, Diesel thanked his friends and admited that sharing the fun was the best fun of all.
