- “Careful, James! You know what we engines say, 'Coughs and sneezles spread diseasels'!”
- ― Thomas
Diesel Day! is a magazine story.
Plot
James is having a sneezing fit at the station. Thomas reminds James that "coughs and sneezles spread diseasels". No sooner had James sneezed than Diesel oiled into the station. Then BoCo, Mavis, Daisy, The Diesel/Class 40 and D199 all arrive. Thomas is cross as he thinks that James has caused all the diesels to arrive. The Fat Controller tells the engines that it is "Diesel Day" at the station where people can admire the diesels. Thomas tells them that the thought of a "Diesel Day" makes him feel ill, so he calls it "Diseasel Day".
