Philip to the Rescue.James pulls a long line of trucks one day to show Philip, the new boxcar diesel, how strong he can be himself, but the line of trucks James is pulling is very heavy and has a big load on itself, and when he goes up a hill, it becomes more and more difficult for himself, but when he finds it difficult to stop when he finally goes down the hill, he starts to lose balance and derails off the tracks, and collides with the wall of a bridge and hangs dangling while calling for help. Luckily, Philip is nearby and manages to prevent James from falling down on the tracks below. James' driver goes to call for help, and soon Percy arrives with Rocky. The Fat Controller points out that James was a show off himself. While at Tidmouth Sheds the following night, Philip tells everyone about how he saved James, and states how strong he can be, but Edward points out that he is a show off himself by saying so. Gordon murmers to himself that they should find Philip his own shed, but nobody listens, because they're all busy laughing at Philip's final statement.
