'''Air date''': July 28th, 1995 (UK), November 11th, 1996 (US)

'''Adapted from''': ''[[Recap/TheRailwaySeriesB14TheLittleOldEngine The Little Old Engine]]'', "Rock 'n' Roll"

Skarloey tells Rusty the railway looks drastically different since he has returned from the works because of the repairs to the lines. Rusty explains that the manager had planned to give Skarloey a surprise upon his return. Rusty however warns Skarloey that there is still a damaged portion of track on the line just outside the first station and worries that Duncan, with his habit of "rock 'n' roll." will derail there. Duncan overhears the engines' conversation and demands to know why they are talking about him. Rusty attempts to warn him, but Duncan dismisses the warning and rudely calls Rusty a smelly diesel.

Duncan collects his coaches and arrives at the station where James is waiting for him. When Duncan explains his grievances with Rusty, James tells him about Diesel and claims credit to having been the one who sent him packing. Filled with admiration and unaware James was bragging and is not always honest, Duncan becomes more reckless and begins to "rock 'n' roll." This ultimately however causes him to derail when he reaches the damaged track Rusty warned him about.

Rusty is called to help but initially refuses until Skarloey expresses his disappointment that Rusty is just going to leave the passengers stranded. Upon being reminded of the passengers, Rusty sets off with some workmen who work alongside the passengers to lever Duncan back onto the rails. Duncan finishes his journey without any further mishaps, and later that evening apologises to Rusty and asks if they can be friends. Rusty agrees and promises to mend the damaged line in the morning.

!!Tropes featured in the episode:
* AesopAmnesia: Duncan didn't learn his lesson about "Rock and Roll". So he does it again. This time, he derails.
* BlatantLies: James told Duncan about how he had sent Diesel packing, even though he never did anything because he was among the engines who believed Diesel's lies about Duck calling them names to the trucks. Also, it was The Fat Controller who had found out Diesel's lies and sent him away. Of course, James was [[SmallNameBigEgo too conceited to tell the truth.]]
* CallBack: James' recalling of Diesel [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS2E13DirtyWork causing trouble with the engines]] and also [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS2E14ACloseShave being sent away in disgrace]].
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Duncan. Unfortunately, he happened to be on a bad part of the rail.
* FantasticRacism: Duncan didn't want to take advice from a "smelly diesel" like Rusty.
* FireForgedFriends: Duncan and Rusty.
* {{Jerkass}}: Duncan. He [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold warmed up]] to Rusty in the end, however.
* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: Rusty was called to help Duncan back on the rails due to his rudeness. He eventually does after Skarloey calls him out on it.
* WhatTheHellHero: Skarloey calls out Rusty for refusing to help Duncan, reminding him of the passengers.

Rusty is concerned that Duncan will derail at a dodgy section of line due to his "rock 'n' roll", but Duncan refuses to take advice from a "smelly Diesel", and matters are only made worse when James backs Duncan up and tells him of the time he supposedly sent Diesel packing. Duncan is full of admiration, and starts to "rock 'n' roll", causing him to derail. Rusty is furious and refuses to help, until Skarloey reminds him of the passengers. Rusty then helps Duncan get back on the line and, that night, the two engines become good friends.
