Dirty Work

"Duck called me a galloping sausage Rusty red scrap iron I'm old square wheels!"

- Gordon, James and Henry

Dirty Work, retitled Diesel's Devious Deed in American releases, is a second season episode.

Plot
Diesel is furious at Duck for making him look silly and spreads rumours that Duck has made offensive jokes about the big engines. When the big engines find out, they bar Duck's entry to the shed. The Fat Controller is unsure what to make of the situation, and so sends Duck to Wellsworth to work with Edward for a while. Duck leaves and Diesel is sure he is triumphant in his plan.

Goofs

 * The truck Duck bumps appears to be pulled by string.
 * The camera wobbles when James says "Disgusting!"
 * The lines at the large yard with the trucks all lead to the brick wall in the background, so this means that the trucks are trapped there.
 * When Diesel speaks to the trucks none have faces; but when Diesel sniggers away they do.
 * The lighting subtly changes between Gordon and Henry passing the trucks.
 * When Duck turns on the turntable, the top of his face is falling off.
 * When Gordon, James and Henry bar Duck entry to the shed, Duck acts as if those are the only spots left, when there are clearly two other stalls unoccupied.
 * In a close-up of Gordon, James and Henry at the sheds Gordon's eyes are wonky.
 * The Fat Controller tells Duck to go to Wellsworth. Duck then puffs behind the shed, even though Wellsworth is in the other direction.
 * In the close-ups of Gordon, James, and Henry at Tidmouth Sheds, all three are missing their tenders!
