I have made my own stories that feature my own Characters and also some gathered from Non-Canonical Characters and Videos on Youtube with Credit given to the Original Creators though some modified by me (Dont Sue Me Over This Im Never Gonna Publish These) and the Return of old ones such as Duck, Oliver, Donald and Douglas. These stories arent official Canon though I consider them to go after The Last Season in order to not mess with any Official Canon of the Show. though no new engines are shown though Silly Billy, Whiff and Stanley might be shown. Also I Have my own Character named after me (Like Invader ZIM Fanon Character Invader Ian) Ian he is an engine come from America taken to Britian and later on Loan from the British Railway. TUGS character Puffa also makes Cameos and other engines from TUGS as well despite they come from the 1920s. For this Book there are a Total of 132 Stories.

 * 26: Something Smells - Thomas is waiting impatiently at the quay because he's late. He goes off and find Gordon but Gordon is told to pull the Goods train instead. Thomas believes that it's smelly in the air. Gordon ignores him until he's waiting in front of the broken rail and a damage comes to Gordon and the train. The Fat Controller punishes him for pulling a goods train, but instead he decides to pull a passenger trains.


 * 27: Stevie Takes Plunge - Stevie is boasting to Ernest. Neville shows up and angrily sends Ernest away. Stevie tells Neville that Ernest isn't silly and teases him by saying "water is nothing to an engine with deremination". Stevie on the other hand says he's not afraid of water. Later, at the harbour, Stevie is sitting idle with 16 looking at a "Danger" board, sitting on a quay that has sunk into the water. 16 warns Stevie about it but Stevie scoffs at it. A few days later he asks some trucks to give him a bump when they get to the quay. He plans to have the truck push him past the board, and then make him stop. They bump him, and kinock his driver and fireman off the footplate. Stevie slides past the board, but can't stop, and runs right into the water! The Fat Controller comes in a boat and scolds Stevie, and tells him that he can' be rescued until high tide. It's late at night when floating cranes come and lift Stevie out of the water. Stevie feels very silly when he is taken to the works on Neville's goods train. Neville teases him about the incident saying he didn't have enough determination, and says he might like it next time. Stevie is now quite confident that there won't be a next time.


 * 28: Truffey - Truffey is in such a temper when he starts being difficult. Donald and Douglas remarks about Truffey is the oldest and rudest truck. Duck and Oliver arrive in the Yard to find Truffey who is also always complaining. They work hard all day, and finally get to go on the turntable in the yard. But Oliver holds a grudge against Truffey, and finally makes a plan to arrange trucks. He tries to pull Truffey and the Troublesome Trucks. Unfortunately for Oliver, the trucks' brakes are still on, and Oliver pulls them so hard in half that the brakes snap and he crushes Truffey! The Fat Controller inspects the mess soon after, and quietly tells Oliver that Truffey was in a poor state anyway, so what happened was inevitable!


 * 29: Pirate Diesels - Engineering parts need to be taken to Samuel the dredger. Thomas is given the job on this day. He delivers the truck loaded with the parts, and after encountering Buck and Bob, moors the truck - and sees Salty moving in an old building... That foggy night, Salty steals Thomas' trucks. Buck and Bob find it is missing the next morning, and are sure Thomas sole it. They go to tell the Fat Controller, who tells how he has already received a complaint from the client, and orders Thomas on dredger detail with Samuel as punishment. As Thomas is working with Samuel, Duck pulls in. He says how he has heard the whole story, which Thomas certainly does not find amusing! 'Arry and Bert happen by, and taunt Thomas. Percy, who has just arrived, informs Thomas he has to do more work for the DAB-Stacks, which is part of the punishment. Thomas must pull an oil tanker. After more taunting from 'Arry and Bert, he heads off. That night, Duck can't sleep, and goes out for a nosey round the island. He encounters Salty, who stole the truck the previous night, which Thomas was blamed for. Duck sees he is stealing Thomas' oil tanker, and worries who it could be. Through the night, even more trucks still, disappear. In an old smelter, Salty is being ordered by two sinister, green-eyed diesels to steal another truck. He must do so for keep Marvin, the biggest and strongest diesel on Sodor, from being crashed. Duck sees everything, luckily not being spotted. James is paired with Henry, which he is not in the least big happy about! Thomas and paired together. Percy tells Thomas not to worry. Duck suddenly emerges and tells them about what he saw and that their "Pirate" is Salty. Thomas and Percy are very surprised. Also paired are Buck and Bob, who see Thomas and Percy leaving their posts with Duck, out to find Salty, but think they are out to steal barges! Buck and Bob gain chase. The green-eyed diesels put out lightengines, lighthouses, and cover up singals to remain undetected. Menawhile, Salty is found by Thomas and Percy. He explains about Marvin. They come up with a big plan to capture the villains. Buck and Bob find the old smelter and are chased out by the green-eyed diesels! Duck goes to save Marvin. Thomas, Percy and Salty take the chance to charge the villains, and put their green lights out once and for all! Henry that something is going on, and ends up knocking a flare truck which has been set up, upon moving forward! The next morning, Henry and James take the villains away, Duck goes off for a nice rest. Nearby are Buck and Bob. They boast to Thomas and Percy that nothing scares them. Buck then clumsily bump into a flare truck behind him, and bothe he and Bob run away in fright, which Thomas and Percy find a great joke.


 * 30: Muntions - Our story opens with Edward having just brought in the fuel tankers. But then Bignose, the officious Naval tender engine pulls up, and gives Edward an earful. But Edward ignores him and leaves. Meeting up with Toby, Toby sympathizes for Edward about Bignose, but shortly after, Bignose passes by, ordering Toby to keep the trucks strictly in line. He then orders the Fire Locomotive to head out for fire practice, but after leaving the Fire Locomotive just stays where he is. At the Sheds, The Fat Controller explains that they're on Naval maneuvers again, and starts handing out the jobs each engine has to do. James grumbles about having to work with Bignose, but Henry jokingly suggests taking over his garbage duties. ames leaves after receiving some harsh words from The Fat Controller and an earful of laughter from the other engines. Thomas heads out to collect the new fuel tanker; Percy goes to take Rocky home, and Gordon is to pick up the last of the trucks before returning to the Sheds. At the Munitions Factory, the DAB-Stacks are waiting to leave. Diesel tells 'Arry & Bert that their job is very important, and that they can't afford any slip-ups. So slowly, they leave, one-by-one - Bert leaves first, followed by 'Arry, and finally Diesel. Meanwhile, Thomas has a small argument with Bignose when he encounters the Naval tender engine, who scrapes Thomas's fuel tanker on purpose. Night has fallen. Toby and the DAB-Stacks are gathered at the docks, watching from a safe distance as Cranky loads the last of their dangerous loads aboard the naval tramper Kraka Toa. But they are rudely interrupted by Bignose, who demands to have his load fuel unloaded. When Thomas arrives, things worsen, and Bignose accidently bumps into the fuel tankers, setting them ablaze! Quickly, Toby and the DAB-Stacks back off, with Thomas following, having to rescue Bignose after he can't move. But the trouble isn't over; Cranky's dock is going up in flames! But he makes a bold and daring move, as he tips himself over, much to the engines (and Bignose's!) horror. With Cranky gone, and the docks burning up in smoke and flames, what will the engines do now? Will Cranky be repaired and lifted out of the water the next day? James is with Donald and Douglas, when they see the fire. Donald and Douglas joke that it's probably a dockside celebration, but James dismisses that as rubbish. Just then, the Fire Locomotive and Percy race past, telling James about the fire and that they need his help. Meanwhile, the engines continue to watch helplessly as the fire spreads about the dockyard. Thomas is horrified, as he sees Bubba is near, and could get caught. So the engines shout to warn the goods engine, and he barely escapes, just before a huge explosion goes off, setting the fuel tanker Thomas brought in on fire. He decides to go and move it out of the way. Henry and Whiff spot the fire; Whiff thinking it's still evening. Henry doesn't think this, and rushes to help in what's going on in the direction of the fire. Thomas meanwhile tries to get the fuel tanker moving. The Fire Locmotive soon arrives, and Toby explained about what Bignose had done. The Fire Locomotive soon starts handing out orders, and Percy goes to tackle the flames, but worries when he sees Thomas taking the burning fuel tanker away. Henry soon arrives and is sent to help too. Diesel and the others laugh at that, thinking Henry's too dumb to do something as dangerous as that. Meanwhile, Percy watches in vain as the fire continues to rage. Henry has trouble with flames too, (one of the pieces of debris from the fire hits him!) but stays when the Fire Locomotive warns him to get back, because Bubba got scorched by the flames. Meanwhile, Thomas got the fuel tanker at a safe distance away from the docks, but is horrified to see it's almost about to go off, so he backs quickly away. The tanker goes off, and Percy sees this. He fears the worst for his friend. Just then, the tramper starts setting off a series of explosions, as it slowly starts to sink. The Fire Locomotive warns everyone to stand back, as it slowly keels over on its side and plunge into the depths of the harbour. Toby is amazed by the sight of how burned and scorched the dockside is. The Fire Locomotive agrees, but also says that if it hadn't been for Percy and Henry's help, the fire would have damaged the city too. James then appears, albeit a bit late, which Diesel, 'Arry and Bert make a joke out of. Morning has dawned at last, and the fire is smothered. But during the aftermath, Percy is sad, thinking Thomas is gone when the fuel tanker went off. But a distant whistle says otherwise! Thomas did survive, albeit he's a complete mess. But Duck was there to help bring him in. Percy, Toby and the other are relived. Duck chuckles as he takes a still shocked Bignose away, commenting "Well I've been used for a few strange jobs before, but never have I brought in a switcher, and taken away... a twitcher!" And with that, Bignose is gone for good, much to everyone's relief!


 * 31: Rogue Arrives - Rogue was a rough riding engine from The United States of America. He often derailed and lost time, but didn't care about it. "Listen, Bud, back in the States we don't care for a few spills," he would say. One day though, the manage said he'd make Rogue useful at last - he turned him a generator. Rogue has arrived into Sodor. He is certainly not one to be messed with. Rogue decides to now slip into port, to meet his "business pals". Nearby is Rheneas on duty to help any other engines in distress, and soon sees Rogue come into view from around the corner. He introduces him as he's the "roughest, toughest, most rip-roarin' engine on all of the Railways." Rheneas, however, declaring that he's the second-oldest engine on the island after Skarloey and before Duke, has a few tricks up his sleeve. Skarloey arrives to the briefing covered in coal dust from working all night. Rogue sees Skarloey waiting - impatiently. Rogue says how they're all supposed to be on log detail. Skarloey tells Rogue how the Thin Controller told him to take some old coal trucks to the breaker's yard on his way. Rogue jumps in to help Skarloey get it to the breaker's yard on his way. But Rogue pushes too hard, which causes the vessel to go out of line and jam right across the railway. He causes the whole jam to break up. The Thin Controller shuts Rogue in the shed until further notice.


 * 32: Trapped - The engines are having to work together, alongside Scamp, an alligator engine who handles the dynamite. Meanwhile, Diesel comes up with a sceme that effects Buck. After the trucks collapsed a tower across the tracks, Percy and James are next to be stuck, but Percy goes back to find help. Meanwhile, Thomas is working as Diesel sneaks in, and tells him about the blockage, Diesel goes of to get 'help' leaving Thomas. Back near the block Percy meets an old friend, but is unpleased about the way he thinks of 'fun' and 'help' and at that point, they both go off to help. (as seen in Number 3) Thomas sees the block and has a chat with James about the tower. On the other side, Toby has an idea will it work? Back at the yards, we meet Harvey the crane engine. The engines try again to get the barrier out the way, but fail! Scamp's plan doesn't work, but he soon sorts out the problem and blows up Diesel! + * 32: The Escape from Happy Island Repair Yard


 * 33: High Tide - Gordon gets teased by Henry and James. Then James boasts about how superior. The Fat Controller then punishes by sentencing him to work with Donald, Douglas and Whiff. James is so cross about working with Whiff that he has an argument. Then Spencer leaves. Percy is sent to help Thomas with his train and Toby is sent to collect a new boiler for Duke of Sodor. Gordon and Henry are sent to compete with 'Arry and Bert for the steel contract. Thomas and Percy are worried that they have to rescue Annie and Clarabel. As Cranky was preparing for the move to the new location, Gordon & Henry run into 'Arry and Bert, who are competing for the steel contract. 'Arry and Bert tease the two engines before going on their way. Cranky loads the steel, and Gordon & Henry begin their trip to the new steelworks location. Shortly after, 'Arry and Bert decide to cut through the canal, seeing as it's too narrow for the big engines & them to go through at the same time. Gordon & Henry find out about this, but they don't worry about losing the contract, because with the diesels were in for a nasty shock! Meanwhile, James is also going through the canal with Donald, Douglas & Whiff. He spots the two diesels, and they argue over who will pass, & who will turn back. 'Arry & James decided to both try to go through, and find out who'll make it through, but then James backs away, seeing that 'Arry's load will hit the railway bridge. 'Arry can't reverse, and he winds him ramming the railway bridge. After James tells him off, 'Arry and Bert go for help. As the diesels go for help, the mail train makes way toward the bridge, which was weakened by 'Arry's steel. James has an idea. He plans to prop the bridge up with 'Arry's load. The steel is put into place, and it holds up long enough for the mail train to pass. Right after, though, the steel collapses, followed by the bridge, just as a goods train makes its way to it. Whiff has an idea: to attempt to catch the train by waiting in front of the broken rail. His idea works, and no damage comes to Whiff, an goods engine, or the trucks. Thomas and Percy had worked hard rescuing Annie and Clarabel. Miss Jenny wasn't happy about the damage done by the diesels so Gordon and Henry were given the steel contract as the bridge was rebuilt.
 * 34: 'Arry and the High Winds - A rough-riding engine with strong language, Smuggler has arrived into the Island of Sodor boundaries. He is certainly not one to be messed with. If he's ever seen about, one can be sure he's up to nothing but no good. However everyone else on Sodor is worried about the high winds coming. Meanwhile, in the heart of Sodor, Toby is advising Thomas and Percy to get a move on with their work before the storm arrives. Before leaving, Toby also tells them to bring in Samuel later, after finishing his dredging in the bay. Toby leaves, and then Thomas and Percy see that 'Arry, passing through, has a barge coming loose. Thomas helps push the trucks back into place. 'Arry is thankful, but doesn't want to admit it. Out in the estuary, Smuggler decides to now slip into island, to meet his "business pals". The Railway guard sees him and calls to inspect, but Smuggler runs him into rock! Nearby is 'Arry, on duty to help any engines in distress, and soon sees Smuggler come into view from around the corner. Smuggler orders 'Arry to bring him into the harbour. 'Arry doesn't have much choice, and obeys Smuggler's orders to take him to the old disused dock, where he will meet his "criminal friends". Once in island, Smuggler gives 'Arry a further order, to steal coal for him or, "Just get it when nobody's lookin'," as he puts it! Years go, something happened between the Mean Controller and Smuggler, so 'Arry can't tell the Mean Controller about him. As 'Arry worries about what to do, he sees Thomas and Percy struggling to secure Samuel. He needs to get home before the storm breaks, but the wind's too strong for the tank engines to handle. Thomas calls to 'Arry for help. At first, he refuses, but when Percy reminds of Thomas rescuing 'Arry's trucks, 'Arry changes his mind. He kindly helps secure Samuel, but hopes the Mean Controllers does not find out! Later, thinking no-one is about, 'Arry steals some coal trucks but James sees him, and goes to check with the Fat Controller. 'Arry bring the coal to Smuggler, who lets him away, but wants him back that night. Further away, Henry speaks to Gordon about how Laura told him that Edward has Victoria in tow, who has been damaged at rail. They go to tell Toby, so they can all help bring her in. Out in the estuary, 'Arry finds the Railway Guard trapped on the rocks. The Railway Guard tells 'Arry about Smuggler. 'Arry takes him to Happy's Yard for repairs. The Railway Guard guesses that 'Arry has hidden Smuggler somewhere, and says he ought to run him in for questioning. "Some thanks I get for rescuing you," says 'Arry. 'Arry sees Diesel, who says how he's supposed to be out answering calls, and continues with: "I'll tell you where you've been. You've been helping those steam shunters. You creep. Like to be a goodie-goodie Steam Engine would you?" 'Arry ingores Diesel, and rolls away from him. Just by, the Steam Team are docking Victoria. It's very difficult and dangerous work, thanks to the high winds and furthermore her damaged rear wheels, which means she can't assist. All seems lost when the Steamies starts to lose her, and any second will be crushed between her and the quayside. "We need another engine!" exclaims Toby. 'Arry darts in, and saves the day. "Diesels will have my motor for this," 'Arry says to himself. Once again, 'Arry meets up with Smuggler, as ordered. Just as Smuggler is about to give more diry work for 'Arry to do, Edward shows up! He says Smuggler shall be taken to the authorities. Smuggler tries to escape, but 'Arry stops him getting away by blocking him in. Smuggler get his just deserts, and is indeed held by the authorities, who give official thanks to both 'Arry and Edward. It is soon dusk, and the weather is now lovely and calm. Thomas and Percy happen upon 'Arry. 'Arry tells them how happy the Mean Controller is about how Smuggler's now locked up! While Thomas and Percy give him further tanks for helping out with Samuel. "Er, 'Arry," ventures Thomas, "if you ever think of leaving the DAB-Stacks..." "What?!" 'Arry exclaims. "You crazy? Today was today, okay?"


 * 35: Quarantine - It is the hottest summer in Sodor occurs. Toby's engine is acting up, seeing he's old. Bluck and Bart - the two scrap dealers - have their eyes on Toby. They have already made an offer to The Fat Controller for him, but so far, Toby is not for sale. Thomas and Percy arrive at Tidmouth Sheds, late for the early briefing. After threatening to scrap them, the Fat Controller informs the two tank engines that they were supposed to collect a fire tanker from the station across the harbour, and that Toby is already taking care of it. If Toby is alright, Thomas and Percy are then to join the others, ready to take away vessels cleared from quarantine. Meanwhile, Toby, on his way to the ferry pier with the tanker, is watched by Bluck and Bart. The two scrap dealers delight at the ound of his choking engine. At the same time, the Railway Ferry follows an intersecing path, on a regular delivery. Toby suddenly spots a jet engine rapidly approaching him from the distant harbour entrance. At first, he thinks nothing of it, then it is right on top of him. Toby reverses out of the way just in time, but his unexpectedly engine turns him quickly, swinging his tanker into the Railway Ferry. The ferry now has a large hole, causing her to list. Thomas, on his way out to meet Toby, sees the situation and tries to save the Railway Sodor with a tow-line. But he is forced to cut the rope and the ferry crashes to the bottom. Percy arrives, not too far behind Thomas, and is sent to get the emergeny services. At Tidmouth Shed, Bluck and Bart make a second attempt to purchase Toby. The Fat Controller refuses. Back at the scene of the Railway Ferry, the Fire Locomotive arrives and cranes are put into position to raise the crashed ferry. Diesel and Buck arrive to blame Toby for the accident, and gloatingly express their delight that there will be fewer steam engines available for quarantine work. When Thomas and Toby arrive at the mouth of the harbour, they find James nad the two DAB-Stacks still waiting. The Railway Guard informs the engines that all ships waiting to get in are suspected of Microbionic Plague, and have been quarantined. Thomas is surprised when Diesel sends Buck home and say that he himself will go further out. Thomas, knowing Diesel, suspects foul-play. Percy is out of port, looking for the diesel "Bunbucket", when he spots the tramper (flying a yellow flag). He makes sure not to go too close. The tramper lowers its flag. As Percy moves closers, Bunbucket asks Percy to give him a tow. With not customs boat in sight, Percy hurries away, not wanting to risk being infected. Diesel sees Percy on his way out and asks what he is doing. Thomas and Toby quickly come to Percy's aid. Percy explains that the tramper's yellow flag was pulled down. Diesels tries to seize upon this "golden opportunity" by simply rushing out to the ramper immediately. Thomas gives chases, determined to beat Diesel to it. Toby follows Thomas (doing considerable damge to his engine in the process), and stops him. Bluck and Buck briefly pass. Toby brushes off the two tank engines' concern for his burnt out engine, telling them that they both could have been quarantined. Diesel triumphantly reaches Bunbucket, while Thomas and Percy are forced to tow Toby back to Tidmouth Shed. Thomas and Percy try to explain to the Fat Controller what happened, when Bluck and Bart show up yet again and make their fianl offer for Toby. The Fat Controller turns them down, and instead tells Thomas to take to Happy's Yard for a new engine. Back at the Quarantine area, the Railway Guard arrives and orders both Diesel and Bunbucket to put out quarantine flags. Bluck and Bart pass Diesel and snigger at his dilemma. Diesel end up quarantined alongside Bunbucket for a full forty days.


 * 36: Ghost Engines - Winter arrives early in Sodor, and the fog that comes with it. It was much more difficult to navigate through fog in these years, due engines having neither a radio nor radar. One night, Gordon is traveling home to Tidmouth Shed, after working with Samuel, who has been telling him ghost stories. The fog makes everything seem very spooky. Just then, Gordon sees some engines - silent white engine that appear to be ghosts! Gordon thinks it's the Ghost Engine Samuel told him about. Gordon rushes home, and while reluctant at first, tells the others. The engines make great fun of Gordon. The next morning, the engines still make fun of Gordon. He wishes he hadn't told them now! That night, on Henry's way back to port, Shaun, Oliver, Stepney and Arthur are using him a guide. Suddenly, Henry sees a mud bank, and swerves just in time. But they can't react in time and end right up on the mud bank! Then, Henry sees the Ghost Engine too! Further away, Dennis is about to attempt to get into port free, using the fog as cover. Diesel comes across Dennis and taunts him about it. He then leaves Dennis. Up ahead, Diesel sees what appears to be a engine approaching - but it turns out to be the Ghost Engine! Meanwhile, Dennis has started away on his own! Before long, he too sees the ghosts. A frightened Diesel has traveled right round in a circle, and ends running straight into Dennis' side! A desperate Dennis, wanting to get into port away from the ghosts, offers Diesel to tow him for any price. Diesel though, also scared, says he will pull him in free as he needs some company on the way back to the port! Toby is also on the way back to port, after escorting two engines out to sea. He takes a shortcut thorugh the inlet where old cranes are kept. The fog makes everything look very creepy. Suddenly Samuel raises his dredger out of the water, startled by Toby, while Toby is startled by Samuel! Toby soon continues on - and sees the Ghost Engine pass right on by! James is now traveling home, after a long day. He is suddenly startled - but merely by a steam train crossing the rail bridge. The fog and all, it would seem, is getting to James' nerves as well. Upon steering between two idle diesels, James sees the Ghost Engine, and docks behind a diesel to hide, thinking he is miles from home. Thomas and Percy are taking coal to Emily, but it's hard-going. Just then, they hear a strange cracking noise. To add to that, the Ghost Engine arrives. And further still, an large, old tender engine slowly rises from the rails ended with water. Lighting strikes it all over, several times, and a freakish face appears in front of the smokedoor and speaks in an slow, ghostly voice, of which Percy observes looks like King Jupiter. The two engines clear the scene in terror. Next morning, Duck finds James. Duck has to blow his whistle. As he does so, it happends to ho in James' face, waking him up with a start! James shouts for the ghosts to go away and sees Duck, telling him he must have been dreaming! Duck makes great fun of James for mooring there, as he is only "500 yards from the steam engine sheds." James heads over to the shed, and tells the other all about what he saw. Toby says how, "We've all seen them. Thomas and Percy have seen a engine, too." James continues to gon and no about the ghosts. Edward, just arriving back, hears the commotion. "Ghosts? What's that about, me dears?" Edwards asks. The engines tell Edward all about the Ghost Engines. Edward, smiling widely, explains. "They're the White Engine, down here from Northern Railway, on the trail of an iceberg on water. These engines sail at time off, listening for cracking ice. There was a wooden engine frozen in this iceberg, which must have melted in our warmer water." And just then, Bluck and Bart pulls the old engine by and King Jupiter from the night that Thomas and Percy scared, arrives in. The steam engines can only but laugh. Although Percy is till uncertain as to Jupiter's face.


 * 37: Up Rail - It is winter in Sodor. The worst of it is over, and the snow is starting to melt. It's a very bust time. One of the big tasks is logging, which under the Fat Controller's held contract, the steam engines must take thousands of logs from Down Rail to the sawmills. A large jam has formed, which Gordon and Percy are finding difficult to overcome. Gordon advises Percy to take care. Percy continues to ram, unluckily cuasing a chain-reaction which starts the logs to tumble down and trap him. Bubba steams up, who goes to get help from Down Rail. Gordon is concerned about how the logs are heating up. Bubba, meanwhile, has found Thomas, and tells him everything. Gordon tries to shift the logs to free Percy, but can't. Gordon and Percy find that smoke is starting to rise from the logs! Thoams arrives. Gordon says for Thomas to help try and shift the logs, to get Percy out. Then Scamp arrives - with a small load of dynamtie! Thomas suggests Scamp set off a little blast to free Percy. The smoke continues to build, and the logs are now well on fire. Scamp sets up his dynamite. Upon countdown, up the logs go, and Percy is free! It was a very big bang though, which has caused the whole jam to break up. The logs charge Down Rail. They could wreck Brendam! Bubba arrives. Thomas tells Bubba to warn Brendam, who steams off as fast as he can. The engines set off down the way. It's difficult to puff along the icy river, but Bubba presses on. He toots warning all the way down the line, and soon arrives in Brendam Docks, where James, Toby and Henry are working. Bubba tells them everything. James says how the logs will wreck the whole quayside and themselves! Henry comes up with a plan to build a "dam" across the rails entrance. Once all are in place, including Harvey, they prepare themselves for the logs. The logs continue to charge along, demolishing a small quay along the way. Some logs are stopped by the wreckage, but many more still continue. Thomas, Percy and Gordon follow along still. At Brendam, the church bells are ringing to warn everybody. The logs begin to approach - but Henry is on the wrong side of the dam! Toby says they should all rev their engines to try and push back the logs diverting them. The logs glance off and take out a factory due for demolition in spectacular, "explosive" fashion. At least the owner won't have to pay now! Thomas, Percy and Gordon arrive to the others. Henry is dubbed a hero, and the engines head to clear up.


 * 38: Oliver's Coal - After Oliver has a incident with Truffey, the Fat Controller tells Oliver that he has to go to the works to have his rear mended. Oliver looks bad when a villianous No. 1 coal truck named Edward (not be confused with the steam engine Edward and like Scruffey) laughs as the Troublesome Trucks sing Pop Goes Oliver to bully Oliver. Truffey is rebuilt with a new body. He speaks to Toad about it, and Toad tells him that Edward is doing for the trucks being rude to Oliver. Duck comes to him and a conclusion that Oliver needs different coal like Henry. Welsh coal is soon available for Oliver, and he feels better than ever. Oliver bumps the trucks. Edward let Oliver load him and arrange into trains for him and Edward, the devious No. 1 coal truck who decide to take revenge. He tries to pull them from a station yard. Edward's brakes are still on, and Oliver pulls him and the trucks so hard that his brakes snap and he pulls and crushes him in half! The Fat Controller inspects the mess soon after, and quietly tells Oliver that Edward was in a poor state anyway, so what happened was inevitable! However, the trucks don't know this, and from then on, a healthy respect was forged for Oliver in future! Oliver stays in his olive green paint and never gets to painted dark green again. Truffey says nothing at all.
