Tender Engines is a story.
Plot[]
Gordon is impressed when he sees a visitor with 2 tenders, but becomes depressed when Diesel gloats the diesels' victory over steam on the mainland. The engines wrongly attribute Gordon's surly mood to boiler sludge from a dodgy water tower on the mainland, and matters are made worse when Gordon finds only one of his brothers are left in existence. The Fat Controller feels sorry for Gordon and arranges for his brother, Flying Scotsman, to visit, but Henry is jealous of "Flying Scotsman's" 2 tenders and claims he deserves another. Duck offers Henry 6 tenders. Henry is delighted and accepts, but is made to look like a fool when it is revealed they are full of boiler sludge!
