So, Edward and Trevor are having a good ol' conversation, probably about the rising cost of their medications. They are then interrupted by a rather grumpy Douglas. Douglas passes them and yells at Edward to stop gossiping.
Don't worry Edward, he probably angry about Donald getting more screen time.
Later that day, Edward confronts Douglas on his bad attitude. Edward gives a speech about them being old friends and they like to speak to each other about the state of the economy. Edward also throws in the fact, that Trevor and Douglas have in common that they both escaped scrap. Douglas freezes at the word scrap. The two then agree that The Fat Controller needs another engine to help.
What the hell kind of face is that, Edward?
That night Douglas is working the midnight goods train. This takes him to a part of the island where Diesels work. Ooooooo, scary.
Douglas is just about to head home, when his spider senses start tingling. He hears a steam engine. Douglas startled calls out to see who's there?
A small voice answers explaining, that he is Oliver. He and his brake van, Toad were escaping from being scrapped when they ran out of steam.
You'll no longer be "walking the mile."
Douglas plans to save this poor engine. The two crews work together to make it happen. Douglas hooks up to the front of the engine and pulls him out. The two of them start their journey.
While trying to clear the station, the three were stopped by the fuzz aka the foreman. Douglas' driver sweet talks the foreman. The foreman declares everything okay and they start off again.
Will $50.00 do?
The butt crack of dawn had appeared by the time the three arrived at their destination. They hide Oliver and Toad at The Works.
The next day, Douglas tells the tale about Douglas. James and Gordon blurt out that The Fat Controller needs to know.
Speaking of the devil, The Fat Controller strolls up.
Don't mind me, I'm just picking flowers.
The Fat Controller questions the engines on what they are hiding? Duck pleads that they need another engine to help. The Fat Controller states that he too cheap to get a new steam engine he needs one from scrap. Da da dum!
Douglas interjects that he has one. The Fat Controller laughs and drops the bomb that he knows about Douglas' new pets. The Fat Controller plans to put Oliver on Duck's branch line.
Oliver and Toad are fixed up and looking spiffy. Oliver is even painted in Great Western livery. Duck's branch line is now known jokingly as "The Little Western"
Toad is freaking adorable too.
