Gallant Old Engine, retitled The Gallant Old Engine in American releases, is the fourteenth episode of the fourth season.

Plot
Skarloey, dismayed by Duncan's stubbornness, tells Duncan and Peter Sam the story of the time Rheneas single-handedly ran the Skarloey Railway. Skarloey had been feeling sick, so Rheneas did his work. Then, one miserable day, Rheneas was puffing home with a full train when his valve gear jams. Rheneas feels sore, but manages to get home safely. Duncan sees the error of his ways and apologises.

The next day, Rheneas returns and a big celebration is held. However, Rheneas feels happiest when he's back with his friend Skarloey.
