The Posh Coaches (magazine story)

Plot
During the busy holiday season, the Fat Controller borrows some coaches from the Mainland to help him out. But, the coaches are very posh, so posh that they insult Annie and Clarabel and don't even speak to Diesel. The posh coaches stay in the sidings, and a friend of the Fat Controller, a museum owner seems interested in buying them. But when Diesel tells the posh coaches the museum owner, they decide to be really useful rather than idle. So, they work with the express coaches and Gordon. After their work, the posh coaches are dirty and the museum owner can't tell that they are the coaches he wanted to buy. But, the Fat Controller tells his friend that the posh coaches aren't for sale and don't belong to him; they are just on loan to his railway.
