Plot
A new engine with a crane on his boiler called Harvey has arrived, but before the Fat Controller keeps him he wants to see Harvey demonstrate his worth to the Railway Board. Harvey is upset when the others ostracise him for his looks, but Thomas and the Fat Controller are quite understanding. The next day, Percy's trucks go out of control and derail at Bulgy's Bridge, preventing Bertie and the Railway Board from passing. Harvey goes to the rescue, invariably creating a demonstration for the Railway Board. The Board is impressed and allows him to stay. Even better, the others agree that Harvey is Really Useful after all.
