Premium Engines

Premium Engines is the first episode of the Second Season. It follows The Diesel's boasting and accident when collecting his own coaches.

Plot
After taking a rest from shunting, Duck is unpleasantly greeted by an old foe - The Diesel. The Diesel puts Duck down for shunting, explaining that you’d never see a “premium engine” like himself sitting in yards and doing such light work. Duck is offended by this.

The Diesel picks up the slack on the railway, pulling goods and even Gordon’s express. He wins the passengers over, much to the other engine’s dismay.

One morning, The Diesel waits impatient for his train to be arranged. The stationmaster tells him that no tank engines are available and he’ll have to fetch his own coaches. The Diesel reluctantly agrees. After troubling navigation, The Diesel finds his coaches. He backs down quickly, and smashes both them and himself off the rails.

The Diesel is met with disapproval from his driver and the yard foreman, who tells him he’ll have to wait for the breakdown crane. Other engines pass him during the day, laughing at the sight of such a cocky engine off the rails. The Diesel feels embarrassed.

Duck comes to The Diesel’s rescue in the evening. He is surprised to see such a “premium engine” sitting in a yard.

That night the Fat Controller scolds The Diesel for his arrogance. Next day, he is seen off by the steam engines. Duck cheekily encourages him to learn to be a “premium engine”. The Diesel can’t help but take these words to heart as he leaves Sodor a sadder and beaten engine.
