Buffer Bother!

Buffer Bother! is a magazine story, illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
The Fat Controller comes the quarry to inspect Bill and Ben. He finds that Ben has broken buffers and sends him for repairs, leaving Bill working with Mavis. Ben is pleased, but Bill is not. He thinks that if his twin gets brand new buffers, he should too. Ben puffs off to the Works, laughing. Bill is left feeling very cross and sorry for himself. Bill gets into such a temper thinking about Ben's new buffers that he falls behind with his work. Mavis tells Bill to be happy that he's in good working order, but Bill just scowls and blows soot all over Mavis!

The troublesome trucks notice Bill's angry demeanor and tease him even more. Bill charges towards the trucks, but they just laugh and push him off the rails, into a pile stones. The Fat Controller arrives to find Bill sat in the stones with broken buffers. He refuses to let Bill have new buffers until he behaves himself again. As the Fat Controller leaves, Ben rolls up with his shiny, new, golden buffers. Ben apologises for boasting and Bill admits to being naughty, too. Ben laughs and says that it's because they're twins!
