Push Me, Pull You

"Fizzling fireboxes! I wanted to pull the Puppet Show Special on my own, Now look what I've down. The children won't have ice cream or flags, they won't have their puppet show. Help!"

- Skarloey (after falling into the lake)

Push Me, Pull You is the nineteenth episode of the twelfth season.

Plot
A puppet show is coming and Skarloey wants to have the puppet show special to himself, even though the train is too heavy for one engine. Skarloey engages in a tug-of-war with Rheneas with the train in the middle, but the coupling breaks and Skarloey speeds down the hill, crashing into Duncan in bunting and Rusty in ice cream before falling into the pond. Rheneas rescues him and takes the train while Skarloey sorts out the mess he had made, and arrives in time for the puppet show.
