Day of the Diesels

"...you will see, Diesel 10, that some things are worth waiting for..."

- The Fat Controller

Day of the Diesels is an upcoming feature-length Thomas and Friends special due to be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in September 2011.

Plot
Thomas and his best friend Percy fight a fire (possibly at a farm house) until Flynn and Belle, two new fire engines who are experts at putting out fires, arrive to save the day. When Thomas starts to spend all his time with Flynn and Belle, Percy feels left out. Diesel uses Percy's loneliness to lure him to the Sodor Dieselworks. At the Dieselworks, Percy is made to feel very special by none other than Diesel 10! As Percy spends all his time with the Diesels, chaos ensues and Thomas becomes trapped at the Dieselworks! Only when the Diesels are running amok in the Sodor Steamworks does Percy realize his folly in trusting Diesel 10. Percy then wastes no time in rallying his friends to retake the Steamworks and save Thomas! In the end, it's revealed that the Diesels just wanted the Dieselworks restored.
