Henry needs to go to the works after being derailed, and unfortunately Diesel is the only engine available.

Goofs

 * At Tidmouth Sheds, the buffers behind Thomas are resting on top of the rails.
 * After shunting the trucks Diesel runs on the third line, but he should have travelled on the first line; the next scene shows the third line is blocked by the trucks.
 * After the trucks say "Push! Push! Push!", look at Thomas in the background; smoke is being sucked underneath him.
 * In the close-ups of Diesel's wheels turning, gravel keeps flying back and forth.
 * When the camera moves with Diesel a wire is attached to his coupling.
 * As the trucks laugh they are not in the formation that Diesel arranged them, but as they were before jeering at Diesel.
 * When the Fat Controller looks down at Diesel, he has a small crack on his left-hand side.
 * A brakevan should have been at the end of the train.
 * The Fat Controller said that he was not going to invite Diesel back under any circumstances in "Diesel Does it Again".
 * They said the train had 20 trucks, but when Henry pulls it there are only 19.
 * When Diesel falls off the quay head-first he lands on the barge back-first - isn't it odd the way he lands, he took a nose dive, but ends up with his front facing up.
 * When Diesel says Heeeelllpppp!!!, Alec Baldwin uses prerecorded audio from Dunkin' Duncan.
 * Michael Angelis says that the trucks brakes where still on.If the truck's brakes where on,how could Diesel move them in the first place?


 * Isn't it extremely likely that Diesel would have punctured the barge,and would have sunk with it?
