Old Square Wheels is the third story in the 1990 Annual.
Plot
After having a bad time on his first day on Sodor, Diesel vows revenge on Duck for making the trucks laugh at him. One day, Henry's trucks push him down Gordon's Hill. But as soon as the brakes are applied, his wheels lock and he slides down the hill until finally coming to stop at the junction. Later, his driver discovers that his driving wheels have become flat like vehicle tyres from all the hill sliding. When Diesel hears this, he is delighted and starts to make a plan to pay Duck out. After the first nickname becomes Diesel's success, he still wonders about James and Gordon.
