Day of the Diesels

Day of the Diesels is an upcoming feature-length Thomas and Friends special due to be released in the Summer/Fall of 2011.

Plot
A new engine (presumably Belle) arrives on Sodor and Thomas is chosen to show it around. Percy believes the new engine will replace him as Thomas' best friend. The Diesels see this, and bring Percy back to the Sodor Dieselworks, a run down Diesel equivalent of the Sodor Steamworks. Percy is then tricked by the Diesels to bring Thomas to the Dieselworks, where he's kept captive. Realizing what he's done, Percy and the others try and set Thomas free, only to realize the Diesels only want the Dieselworks restored. At some point during the special, there will be a fire (presumably started by the Diesels) that will trap Thomas. It will then be extinguished by new fire engine, Flynn.

Characters

 * Percy
 * Diesel 10

Diesel, 'Arry and Bert, The Fat Controller, and the rest of the Steam Team are likely to appear. Due to the facts that Flynn is a fire engine and that Dart and Den's first appearance is in the fifteenth season, Belle is most likely the new engine.
