“Fizzling fireboxes! I wanted to pull the Puppet Show Special on my own, Now look what I've down. The children won't have ice cream or flags, 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.
A puppet show is coming and Skarloey wants to have the puppet show special to himself, even though the train is too heavy for one engine. Skarloey engages in a tug-of-war with Rheneas with the train in the middle, but the coupling breaks and Skarloey speeds down the hill, crashing into Duncan and his bunting and Rusty and his ice cream before falling into the pond. Rheneas rescues him and takes the train while Skarloey sorts out the mess he had made, and arrives in time for the puppet show.
The last appearance of the Skarloey Railway and its engines, Mr. Percival's last speaking role and the last time he is referred to by name until Blue Mountain Mystery.
