Goodbye Fat Controller.Percy overhears some workmen talking and thinks the Fat Controller is leaving Sodor. Percy then starts telling the other engines about it, and everyone is convinced that he really is leaving the Island. To convince him to stay, they do everything as best they can, by being earlier then usual and being on time for every job the engines got. As much the Fat Controller is slightly in doubt he accepts what his engines are doing. The day comes when Percy spots the workmen removing items from the Fat Controller's office. He then tells the other engines and they decide to go on strike. As confusion and delay escalate, the Fat Controller arrives at Tidmouth Sheds where he reassure the engines that his office is only getting redecorated and that he will be working in a temporary office instead, which in his case is a shed.
