00:00The engines on the island of Sodor like feeling responsible, reliable, and really useful.
00:09They work hard to complete their jobs on time.
00:12They don't like confusion and delay.
00:18But the troublesome trucks delight in mischief, and their mischief causes trouble, as poor
00:23Henry found out.
00:28Henry has had an accident and been sent for repairs, said the Fat Controller.
00:32There are no other engines available, so diesel will help until Henry returns.
00:37Yes, sir, puffed the engines, but they weren't happy.
00:42The engines didn't like diesel.
00:44He was always being rude and always showing off.
00:48I hope Henry's mended soon, said Percy.
00:51He moves more trucks than three diesels put together, agreed Thomas.
00:56Trucks are no one's friend, puffed Gordon.
01:01The next day, diesel was working at the docks.
01:04When the Fat Controller sees how good I am, he bragged to the trucks, he'll get rid of
01:09steam engines once and for all.
01:14This gave the troublesome trucks an idea.
01:17As diesel shunted them together, they started to sing.
01:21Is that all you can haul?
01:22Henry's loads are longer.
01:24Is that all you can haul?
01:26Henry must be stronger.
01:29Diesel was crossed.
01:30He was sure that he was stronger than Henry.
01:33I'll push you all at the same time, he said.
01:37The trucks giggled.
01:38Push us all, that's the longest.
01:41Push us all, you'll be the strongest.
01:43That's me, said diesel, the world's strongest engine.
01:51Diesel shunted five trucks together, then ten, then fifteen.
02:07Soon he had an enormous line of twenty trucks.
02:11What's diesel doing, cried Percy.
02:13He thinks he's the world's strongest engine, replied Thomas.
02:20Diesel didn't know the shunters had set the brakes on the trucks.
02:23The troublesome trucks knew, but encouraged diesel to push anyway.
02:28Push, push, push.
02:31Diesel pushed, and he pushed, and he pushed.
02:38But the trucks didn't move, so diesel decided to pull the trucks instead.
02:46Heave-ho, heave-ho, you can pull, but we won't go, sang the trucks.
02:53This made diesel very cross.
02:55He pulled, and he pulled, and he pulled, and he pulled.
03:07Help!
03:09Grease and oil, diesel sulked, as the trucks laughed and laughed.
03:26The fat controller looked down crossly at diesel.
03:29I thought you would be a proper dockyard diesel, but I was wrong, he said.
03:35Can you make up for lost time, Henry?
03:38Oh, yes, sir, Henry replied happily.
03:45He backed up to the trucks, and the shunters released the brakes.
03:52Then Henry pulled away as easy as pie.
04:05And the engines cheered.
04:10Diesel was sent home in disgrace, but the engines had learnt a lesson.
04:16Even troublesome trucks can do you a favour sometimes, chuffed Thomas.
04:21Like getting rid of smelly old diesel, puffed Percy.
