I hope you enjoy your thanksgiving

Starring Boco.

Enjoy

I don't own any of this

Boco makes a splash!

It was a busy and sunny day on the island as the engines moved about finishing their jobs on time.

Thomas works his branch line, Percy does the mail, Gordon handles the express, Henry pulls the flying kipper and Bill and Ben handle the clay cars.

Sometimes diesels also helps out with jobs as well and some handle the mainline trains and some engines didn't like it but got used to it in time and one of these diesels is Boco.

Boco is a mixed traffic diesel that pulls coaches and cars and he works on Edward's branch line.

Boco usually does goods work and sometimes help with the passenger trains, he's also good at keeping Bill and Ben in check whenever they get up to their mischief.

One day Boco was resting when Sir Topham Hatt came to see him.

"Boco I have an important job for you. Philip has broken down and been sent to be fixed and since the other engines are busy and things here are quiet can you do Philip's job until he gets back?" he asked.

"Sure sir I'm happy to help." said Boco.

With that Sir Topham Hatt left.

Next day Boco arrived at Knapford and began arranging the coaches and cars needed for the waiting trains.

He arranged the coaches and brought them to the right platforms and then went to shunt the cars into place.

James, Emily and Gordon arrived to collect their coaches and saw they were there and Boco was still at work.

"I have to say this is impressive." said James.

"I know our trains are ready." added Emily.

"Indeed and the express can go." grunted Gordon.

The 3 engines then puffed away with their trains.

Next Boco arranged the goods for Henry, Edward, Donald and Douglas to take and kept the cars in line.

However there was one car who didn't like this it was an orange car name Fred Pehlay he was Scruffey's 2nd in command after Scruffey was pull apart by Oliver years ago the other cars were wise to not mess with him or else, Fred hated that he secretly swore to get revenge but didn't know how until an idea came to him, he can cause Boco an accident then the trucks won't fear the engines anymore.

So he began making a plan.

Over the next few days Boco has been shunting, arranging, pulling and pushing the coaches and cars where they need to be and have a rest when he can and everything ran on time and engines thanked him.

Then one day Sir Topham Hatt arrived at the shed Boco was staying.

"Boco I just heard from the diesel works that Philip is almost fixed and will be back tomorrow. But before you go I need you to collect some cars and take them to the quarry and once loaded with stone I need you to bring them to Knapford Harbor to be collected by James to take to the docks and then you may go back to your regular jobs." he said.

"Understood sir." said Boco.

Boco then got fueled up and then went to work.

He then collected the cars needed for the train, he collected 10 cars and one of them was Fred but he didn't know that, Fred kept quiet and acted like he was behaved.

After shunting them into place the shunter coupled the break van to the cars and then Boco to the train.

The guard blows his whistle and Boco was off while Fred whisper his plan to some of the cars and the other cars were not on board.

When Boco arrived at the quarry he began loading the cars 2 at a time, once they were filled up, he turned around coupled up and began heading for the harbor.

As they made their way Boco was minding his own business and Fred was buying his time.

Soon Boco was halfway there when he saw a sign that read 'all trains stops to pin down brakes' but before Boco's driver can do that Fred's chance has come and order the cars to surge ahead.

"On, On!" yelled Fred and his loyal cars.

"No, NO!" said the other cars.

Boco felt the surge was going faster and faster.

Boco tried to stop them but he was going too fast.

Soon they arrived at the harbor and Boco is trying to grip on the rails when he saw the points were set to an open siding right into the water.

Boco and the cars applied their breaks but it was too late, Boco went to the water making a big splash along with some of the cars including Fred who panic and fell in, only 3 cars and the break van remain on the rail but Boco, Fred and the rest were wet and sunk Boco's driver and guard jump clear and weren't hurt.

A bit later cranes were brought in to lift Boco and the cars out of the water, Boco was placed on 2 flat beds and Henry was here along with Edward and Thomas, Sir Topham Hatt came to assess the damage.

"What happened here Boco?" he asked the diesel.

"I was pushed sir. I was on my way to the harbor when some of the cars started to push me and the others tried to help me stop but it was too late." he said.

Sir Topham Hatt then turned to the cars "Do you know who did this?" he asked.

"It was Fred Pehlay he was the mastermind behind it sir." they said.

"Yeah he said he wanted revenge of what happen to Scruffey." said another.

"You blasted tattle tales cars just you wait I'll get you!" said Fred angrily.

"I don't think so Fred." said Sir Topham with a serious tone that made Fred shut up.

"For your punishment Fred you left me no choice but to send you away for your trick." he said.

Fred tried to reason but Sir Topham made up his mind.

"Edward after you and Thomas finish cleaning up the mess take Fred far away from the island." he said.

"Yes sir." said the engines.

"Henry take Boco to the diesel works right away to be fixed."

"Yes sir." said Henry and pulled Boco to the works.

After the mess was cleaned up Edward and Thomas headed to the quarry and collect more stone and bring it to James at Knapford to take to the docks.

At the diesel works Boco had his old parts taken off and new ones to replace it.

When he was fixed he went back to his duties on Edward's branch line and was more careful of making a splash in the water and Philip went back to his job.

As for Fred he was sent away in disgrace was sent to the mainland to be part of an exhibit at a railway museum.

I think Fred deserve his punishment do you?
