3''Day of the Diesels'' is the 2011 ''Thomas & Friends'' special.
4
5When the diesels take over the Steamworks, Thomas and his friends must work together to win it back.
6
7!!''Day of the Diesels'' contains examples of:
8
9* BigBad: Diesel 10 is the leader of the Diesels and the one who kicks off the conflict of the story, beginning by deceiving Percy.
10* CharacterisationMarchesOn: It's rather odd these days seeing Paxton and Sidney as willing troublemaking accomplices to Diesel 10, given later episodes establish them as ditzy but well-behaved counterparts for their nastier brethren.
11* ContinuityNod: The Steamies and the diesels work together again to get a big project done, just like in ''WesternAnimation/CallingAllEngines''.
12* CoversAlwaysLie: Thomas is shown front and center on the boxart, despite the fact that Percy is the star of this film.
13* CreativeClosingCredits: As with the past two specials, the credits scroll over a montage of scenes from the movie as the titular song plays.
14* ADayInTheLimelight: In addition to Thomas, Percy has a big role here, and has more screentime and focus than the former.
15%% * DistressedDude: Thomas when Diesel 10 holds him hostage.
16* EarnYourHappyEnding: For everyone, the diesels and the steam engines finally get along for once to restore Vicarstown Dieselworks, allowing the Diesels to have a place to stay once again.
17* LateArrivalSpoiler: For those who were shocked upon seeing the sudden after-credits scene of ''Misty Island Rescue'', that's where this movie starts. It even serves as a sequel to said film.
18* MoodWhiplash: At first the movie starts off bright and pleasant, then comes a fire, and things get intense from there.
19* TearsOfRemorse: Percy gets these after seeing Flynn in his berth at Tidmouth Sheds.
20* WhamEpisode: The Sodor Dieselworks are restored, and Flynn and Belle join the Search & Rescue team.
