Comment Before You Favourite by BoffinBrain

Dear Friends,
We have had two visitors to our railway. One of these, City of Truro, is a very famous engine. We were sorry when we had to say goodbye to him.

The other visitor was different. "I do not believe," writes Sir Charles Topham Hatt, "that all Diesels are troublesome, but this one upset our engines and made Duck very unhappy."
The Author

The thirteenth book in The Railway Series, "Duck and the Diesel Engine"-
*Domeless Engines
*Pop Goes the Diesel
*Dirty Work

Featuring a cameo by City of Truro, and the debut and only appearance of Diesel (until his re-appearance in "Thomas and the Evil Diesel")

The only thing missing from this was how James, Henry and Gordon got their nicknames but other than that this is just an excellent book.
The introduction of a new form of traction, a diesel and how his lies cause much trouble for Duck. Close Shave is a brilliant story to finish the book with especially as it reminds of the story of an engine that hit a chip shop!
