* In "Troublesome Trucks", there's James sincerely apologizing to the Fat Controller for causing trouble with the coaches, prompting the Fat Controller to forgive him and let him out of the sheds to pull some trucks. It gets better in the end of the episode where the Fat Controller reveals himself after James finishes the arduous job. James is worried he's in trouble again, but the Fat Controller smiles and commends James for dealing with the trucks and allows him to keep his red paint, signaling that James has already on good terms with him.
* In "James And The Express", after Gordon suffers a mishap, James is left to pull the Express in his place. Rather than the usual formula with the pompous engine humiliated and upset, Gordon is revealed to be impressed with James' work and encourages him to keep up the good work. The narration explains that James pulls the Express to give Gordon a rest every once in a while and the two cement their VitriolicBestBuds relationship.

[[AC: The Twin Engines]]
* How all the engines jump to Donald and Douglas' defence in the last story, despite their accidents. The two aren't officially part of the railway yet, but it still sends a warm feeling into your heart. And the ending where everyone's whistling for joy, is a grand payoff.
