- Diesel

Diesel Does it Again is the eighth episode of the third season. It first aired on Shining Time Station in the episode Yabba, Yabba, Yabba in 1991.

Plot
Duck and Percy are struggling to cope with their work at Brendam, so another engine is sent to help. Unfortunately for them, Diesel is the only engine available and when the two see him, they refuse to work. The Fat Controller sends them back to work, but Diesel becomes unbearable after spilling some cargo and talking the others into not snitching. At last, Diesel carelessly pushes several trucks of china clay into the sea and is sent away for good.

Trivia

 * In the restored version, Percy stops rolling his eyes after being bumped by Diesel.
 * Vienna from Tugs can be seen in the backround.

Goofs

 * In one scene, Percy has Thomas' tired face mask on.
 * When Thomas is seen leaving the station, he blows off steam, but it suddenly disappears as another train comes in, thus indicating a film cut.
 * The trucks Diesel shoved and made spill their loads were overloaded in the first place. In addition, the trucks hit the end of the set, as Diesel's wheels continue moving.
 * The narrator says that Diesel scowled when he bumped into Percy, but he looks happy.
 * Brakevans should have been added to Percy and Duck's trains.
