Diesel is cross when he has to move to let Gordon through and to spite him he tells him the steam engines will soon be scrapped. Gordon starts to fear that Diesel may be tellnig the truth after a squeaking starts coming from his wheels, but he discovers that if he goes slow the squeak disappears. The next day, Gordon is given the job of taking the Fat Controller and some children to Brendam for a boating trip, and starts noticing a knock.
