It was a freezing cold day on Sodor and James had to use the turntable. James was concerned that he would slip on the ice and scratching his paintwork. Diesel laughs and rolls onto the turntable, cracking all the ice. Diesel turns on the table and then rolls away still laughing at James, who feels very silly.

Later, James finds Diesel sitting on the line just before an icy bridge. This time, Diesel was worried. He was worried that a big icicle might fall down and dent his roof. James has and idea and chuffs under the bridge until he is beneath the icicle. He calls to his fireman, asking for more steam. The fireman shovels extra coal into the firebox and James blew huge clouds of hot smoke all over the icicle which soon melts away. Now it was James' turn to laugh at Diesel who is left feeling very silly.
