New Paint is a magazine story.

Plot
Michael is a new painter at the engine shed. He was nervous, but soon settled in, but then, it was the Scottish twins turn. They told the painter to take off their nameplates so they don't get splashed with paint and that all the other painters always start by painting their tenders. With no numbers or nameplates, Michael doesn't know which twin is which. Then, the Fat Controller arrives and soon sorts the problem out! It turns out that the Fat Controller didn't actually know which was which, he just guessed!
