Bold and Brave

"Bold and Brave" is a ninth season episode.

Plot
Thomas is collecting equipment for the seaside station, and Diesel warns him of the "curse of the cliffs". Thomas is sceptical, but when Harold warns him of fog near the headlands Thomas is frightened. He later finds Ben outside a tunnel, who tells him Diesel says a monster is lurking inside. Thomas goes to investigate, and realises the monster is really a generator powering some lights. Thomas puffs onwards and comes across the fog, but thinks about Diesel's other lie and bravely goes on. In future, Thomas knows not to believe Diesel, but to believe in himself.

Goofs

 * The narrator says, "Diesel chugged away", but Diesel is, obviously, a diesel.
 * As there are some workmen (presumably) repairing the tunnel, Thomas and Ben shouldn't have been able to go through it.
 * Fog usually comes when it is very cold in the atmosphere, so it would be impossible for the fog just to roll away so quickly, or be on the beach in the first place.
