Calling All Engines!

"You gave me BANANAS!"

- Diesel accusing Thomas of mixing up his delivery

Calling All Engines is an hour long special.

Plot
A new airport is being built, and when Diesel, 'Arry and Bert shove their weight around Thomas plays tricks on them. Thomas regrets his actions when he discovers the diesels' deliveries were intended for the new sheds at Tidmouth.

That night, a hurricane ravages Sodor. In the aftermath the Suspension bridge collapses, and Diesel is furious when Thomas is asked to lower an I-beam for the bridge. Diesel, in retaliation, upsets the paint Thomas is supposed to deliver, sparking a war between the steam engines and the diesels.

In a dream, Thomas is told by Lady that the engines will have to settle their differences if the airport is to be completed, and Thomas asks Mavis to help him organise the engines into a meeting at the coaling plant, but Thomas gets cold feet when trying to pluck up courage to ask Diesel 10 to attend. The meeting is almost called off, but Thomas arrives in the nick of time and the engines decide to reconcile and work together to get everything done. Thomas eventually finds the strength to get Diesel 10's help, and when the job is finished the engines discover a new berth has been added to Tidmouth Sheds, allowing Emily to sleep with the rest of the engines.

Trivia

 * Stock footage from "Thomas to the Rescue" and "Squeak, Rattle and Roll" is used.
 * Although Diesel 10 and Lady return, Splatter and Dodge are still absent, probably because their models were repainted for 'Arry and Bert.

Goofs

 * Toby is pushed onto the coal tipper, but even though the tipper goes at a 45-degree angle Toby does not fall off.
 * It would be dangerous for Thomas to travel past Diesel 10 while the latter was using his claw.
 * Everyone was told to the coaling plant, except Edward, although he was later shown traveling to the meeting.
 * The narrator says Thomas and Diesel 10 puffed as fast as they could but Diesel 10 is a diesel and therefore cannot 'puff'.
 * The Engines Dreams are quite unlikely the most likely thing is that they would be scrapped!
 * James had to sleep at the coaling plant, but he was seen travelling there.
