Ding-a-Ling! (magazine story)

Ding-a-Ling! is a magazine story, illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
Freddie is given the special job of collecting a bike from James for the Thin Controller, who was going on a family cycling holiday through the mountains. James is grumpy, as usual, and when the bike is loaded onto Freddie's flatbed, James states that the bicycle hasn't got a bell. As Freddie chuffs on, he thinks about what James has said and decides that a bell must be important. As Freddie enters the Top Station, he spots Bobo the clown on the platform. He had bells hung around his neck. Freddie was delighted as the bells would make an excellent bell for Mr. Percival's bike!
