Season 4 Episode 14: Gallant Old Engine

Duncan Doughnut is still angry over being rejected by a little girl from being polished and all that other crap he pulled prior. Skarloey has had it with Duncan being his usual ass self and wishes that Rheneas would return to teach Duncan some R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Which leads us to story time with Skarloey...

Come dream with me tonight...

Skarloey flashes back into a story that took place before the other engines have arrived. Back then, things where bad. The railway relied on both Skarloey and Rheneas to keep it a float. 

He goes on to tell us how Rheneas, was a little engine that could and would keep going. Even if he was running out of steam. He was all about that pax. 

Duncan interrupts story time and gives a big screw you passengers. Skarloey keeps it going with a story about how Rheneas stopped once at unscheduled place.

Yes Duncan, I am bored with this story too.

One rainy and nasty day, Rheneas had a train that was bogged down with passengers. He started to head up a hill and he began to slip on the steep climb. But ol' Rheneas kept going finally, griping the tracks. 

Rheneas made it up the hill, only to get a huge cramp.

A lady engine would know how to deal with that. Get Mavis.


Rheneas grinded to stop, his crew got out to inspect. They found that Rheneas has a jammed valve gear. (Ouch!) The driver insists that he has to make it to the next station. Rheneas starts up again slow and steady.

His motivation to keep going was not ticking the passengers off. Rheneas was afraid that if they complain, the railway would close.

Finally, Rheneas reaches the next station. 

I mean shack in the woods.

The passengers where thrilled with Rheneas that they made it. And they would make sure that the word was spread about this awesome event in history. Rheneas had saved the railway.

And that was the end of that story. It really did the trick in straightening out Duncan. (Maury is telling me this is a lie.)

The next day, Rheneas came home to a gaggle of engines.


Henry was pissed about it. 

The engines all make noise pollution and welcome the little engine home. Skarloey was the most excited though, his bro has came home. 

Reunited and it feels so good.
