“Fizzling fireboxes! I wanted to pull the Puppet Show Special on my own, Now look what I've done. The children will not have ice cream or flags, and they won't have their puppet show. Help!”
―Skarloey after falling into the lake

Push Me, Pull You is the nineteenth episode of the twelfth series.

Plot

A puppet show is coming and Skarloey wants to pull the puppet show special. He is warned by Thomas that it is heavy, though Skarloey does not listen. When Rheneas sees Skarloey, he notes that the train is too heavy for one engine. Skarloey, however, refuses his offer to help and instead decides for them to engage in a tug-of-war with the train in the middle, but the coupling breaks and Skarloey speeds away. He goes down the hill and crashes into Duncan who is taking trucks of bunting. While Duncan is cross, Skarloey hurriedly leaves with the puppet train.

As Skarloey hurries along with his train, he sees Rusty and his ice cream and accidentally crashes into it as well and also making him cross. Meanwhile, Skarloey speeds on his way, but goes round a bend too fast and veers into a siding before falling into Percival Pond. Feeling terrible, Skarloey calls out for help and Rheneas rescues him. He then takes the train while Skarloey sorts out the mess he had made; he gets new trucks of ice cream for Rusty and helps to take Duncan’s trucks of bunting for him. The two soon arrives in time for the puppet show and Skarloey states that Rheneas is his best friend.
