Tim is a brand-new locomotive, fresh out of the workshop, with an innovative new feature: roller bearings. These are axels fitted on the inside with a series of spinning cylinders meant to help the axle spin more easily and reduce the wear and tear on the axle and the fillings. He's come to the yard where his Uncle Smedley works, and soon learns of Kid Friction: every train's worst enemy. He loves nothing more than to grab hold of axles and grind metal against metal to make it tough for trains to get moving--or worse, bring them to a railway line-clogging stop by causing a "hotbox" or overheated bearing, resulting in delays and stoppages that causes trouble for not only the railroad companies, but the customers and clients they provide services to.

He's come to the yard where his Uncle Smedley works, and soon learns of Kid Friction: every train's worst enemy. He loves nothing more than to grab hold of axles and grind metal against metal to bring trains to a screeching halt.
On Tim's first train, he runs afoul of Kid Friction, who brings his roller bearing-less train to a crashing halt. This gets him sent to the sheds for a long while. As Kid Friction brings more trains to a halt, however, it soon comes time for Tim and his roller bearings to put that bully in his place.
The short was released on June 23rd, 1949.

!!''Big Tim'' contains examples of:
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Kid Friction is obviously meant to represent the friction caused by axle bearings that aren't lines with rollers, like Tim's.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When Tim has been sent to the sheds, only his eyes are visible in the darkness. Same for the other engines in the shed with him.
* CharacterNarrator: The short is narrated by a voiceover of Tim.
* GreenAndMean: Kid Friction is a man who's whole entire body is solid green, clothes and cigar included.
* SentientVehicle: Tim and all the other locomotives in the yard.
