Wash Behind Your Buffers! (magazine story)

Wash Behind Your Buffers! is a magazine story, illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
Madge is very excited; it is the day of the Engine Rally. The Thin Controller had asked her to bring the engines soap and brushes to make sure they are extra clean! First she went to Rheneas and told him to ask his engineer to scrub his nameplate. Next, she rushed to the Quarry where she met Skarloey. Madge waited for him to be cleaned, to make sure his paintwork sparkle but this makes her late. At the Town Square, the Thin Controller is very proud of his engines. Then, Madge rolls in. She is filthy, much to Mr. Percival's surprise. Madge was sad; being cleaned would mean she will miss the Engine Rally. Skarloey and Rheneas promise to help her get clean in double quick time! Their engineers knew how to wash Madge quickly because she had helped them before. Soon she was finished and her paintwork sparkled - just like Skarloey's and Rheneas'!
