It is a sunny day on Sodor and Thomas is asked to work at the Quarry. When he arrives, he discovers that Diesel is working there as well. Later, Thomas is shoved under a pouring hopper by Diesel and then is insulted. That night the tank engine has a dream about the steam engine being scrapped. The next day Mavis and Diesel recieve new fuel and start boasting. However, they start to fail and soon break down and it is discovered that water has leaked into the drums. Thomas is sent to deliver fuel to Salty, 'Arry and Bert and then the Quarry diesels. Everyone is impressed, even Diesel!

Season Six was awful, Season Seven was only a small improvement. But you can tell even from this episode that Season Eight is going to be awful. For one thing, Diesel was meant to have gone away a very long time ago but he is still poisoning our prescenes! And Thomas has stolen the centre attention again by being bullied and then saving the day. That storyline has gone old and everyone is sick and tired with it. And none of the other charecters even got a large role. Mavis and Salty got one line and the rest just got sick. However, the only good thing was that the storyline was slightly realistic and they brought back the fear of steam engines being scrapped. The longer episodes really bother me but the new forms of direction is good but there needs to be more than that to win me over.moreless

Thomas is sent to help out Mavis at the quarry. When he arrives, Diesel is also there helping out. He makes fun of Thomas when Thomas arrives. First, Diesel shunts him under the hopper. Thomas gets covered in gravel. When Thomas lets off steam, Diesel insults him and says that Sir TopHam HAtt is thinking of scrapping steamies. Thomas didn't believe Diesel. That night, he dreams of what would happen if Sir TopHam Hatt did scrapthe steamies. Thomas was worried. Next day, Salty arrived to deliver fuel to Diesel and Mavis. When Diesel shows off, he starts billowing black, smelly smoke from his exhaust. It turns out that water had leaked into the tanks. Thomas was sent to fetch new fuel and deliver it to all the diesels everywhere. Diesel then saw that what he said was wrong.moreless
