A Bad Day for Sir Handel

"We are much to good for this old shack" Sir Handel complaining about the shed.

"A Bad Day for Sir Handel" is a fourth season epsiode.

Plot
Peter Sam and Sir Handel have arrived at Crovan's Gate. Peter Sam is kind, but Sir Handel is bad-tempered, and insults Skarloey and the sheds. The next day, Sir Handel is chosen to pull the train to the top station. He does so grudgingly, and, after insulting the coaches by calling them "cattle trucks" and surprising Gordon with his knowledge of coaches, makes his way to the top station. There, he is angry to discover he is expected to go to the quarry and collect trucks, and refuses to do so, punctuating his point by deliberately derailing himself. In the end, Peter Sam helps him back and the Fat Controller scolds him.
