Sir Topham Hatt came to see the engines at the sheds.

“Good morning,Everyone.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.”We are getting extra work.So,I’m sending a new engine here.Hate to say it.But,A diesel is all that’s available.His name is Lucas.Please be sure to avoid any...Ugh..Disturbances.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt before leaving.

“What does that mean?”Flitter asked.

“That’s means this new diesel is difficult.”Said James and he was when he arrived.Benjamin surveyed the shed.

“Not bad.I’ve seen worse.”He said.”At least you’re all clean.”The engines and ponies glared.”But,That doesn’t matter.Sir Tophom Hatt will scrap you all soon and send diesels like me.And I’m off.A fill of oil,A touch on the starter,And I’m off.No bother and no waiting.They have to fuss at you for hours until you’re ready.”Everyone was furious!

Next day,Stepney and Fluttershy were moving down the line with their goods train.Lucas spotted them while moving down the track.”I think it’s time you learn a lesson.”He blew his horn long and loud.The signalman was so surprised,He accidentally flipped the points.Stepney swerved onto an old track.He was going so fast,The rails did took Stepney and the trucks weight and a rail snapped!Stepney slid off the tracks and his load crashed down the ditch.Luckily,No one was hurt.But,Stepney and Flitter were cross.

“Hey,You!”Called Flitter angrily.”Get back here!”But,Lucas didn’t listen.The next day,Stepney and Fluttershy told the engines and ponies all about their accident.

“Unbelievable!”Scolded Rainbow Dash.

“Disgraceful!”Grumbled Gordon.

“How horrid!”Said Rarity.

“Disgusting!”Said James.

“Unforgivable!”Scolded Fluttershy.

“Despicable!”Said Henry.

“To say such things to us!”Said Rosie.

“It’s to teach him a lesson we’d be wanting!”Said Stepney.

“But,How do we do it?”Flitter asked.Their chance come sooner than expected.A railway inspector was doing some final checks on Benjamin’s air in tank.The wind tugged on the inspectors hat and blew it right off his head.Soon,Benjamin was ready.He saw his coaches at the platform.He backed up to them and set off with the passengers.

“Look at me!”He called to Flitter and Stepney.”Now,I’ll show you what I can really do!”Suddenly,Benjamin’s engine shakes and spluttered.The passengers were being bumped and bounced in the coaches.With a final cough,The diesel stopped.Meanwhile,The inspector was looking for his hat.When he looked at Lucas,There was the hat in his air in tank.

“My hat!”Gasped the inspector.”You sucked it in through your air in tank!”

“Oh dear.Now,Who’s going to take the passenger train?”Said Sir Tophom Hatt.

“Please,Sir,Can me and Stepney do it?”Flitter asked.

“That sounds like a great idea.”Said Sir Tophom Hatt happily.”It’s a long train.You need another engine to help.”

“We can help.”Said Twilight.

“Two engines are better than one.”Said Thomas.So,Thomas and Stepney backed up to the coaches and set off.

“Time for a little sprint.”Sad Stepney.

“We’re ready when you are.”Said Thomas.They wizzes through Edwards station and raced up Gordon’s hill.It was a heavy load.But,They finally made it.At last,They arrived at Wellsworth station.Gordon and Rainbow Dash were just leaving with the express.

“Hey,You two!”Said Gordon.

“Sir Topham Hatt punished that diesel for me and Stepney's accident.”Said Flitter.

“Serves him right for derailing you two.”Said Rainbow Dash as Gordon steamed away.At the yards,Lucas spoke to Flitter and Stepney.

“I’m truely sorry about your accident.”

“That’s alright.I think it’s time you need to be more useful.”Said Flitter.Lucas smiled.
