A Proud Day for James

"A Proud Day for James" is the fifth episode of the first season.

Plot
James, after proving himself useful, is to shunt coaches in the Yard. Garten puffs by, boasting about himself as usual, saying he could take the Express by instinct. James ignores him, and continues working. Later, James sees Garten puff into the station quietly and sadly. He finds out Garten was switched the wrong way and got lost. The Fat Controller is cross with him, and James teases Garten. James ends up taking the Express, and is delighted. He has a great time pulling the train, and the Fat Controller tells him that he can pull it again when Garten is busy. He meets Garten afterwards, who is pushing cars. They become friends, and don't tease each other about bootlaces or being stuck on a hill ever again!
