Summary

It was a busy day at the quarry. Mavis was busy filling up rather grumpy troublesome trucks when Thomas came by with some empty trucks. Just as Thomas pulled in Mavis had finished filling the trucks, and she accidentally went under the hopper and got covered in rocks that damaged her.

Thomas had to take Mavis to the Dieselworks to be fixed. Meanwhile Mavis was worried about who would look after the quarry. Then Sir Topham Hatt came to the Dieselworks, and told Den he had to work at the Quarry while Mavis was being fixed. Den didn't like the idea of working without Dart.

When Den arrived at the Quarry the troublesome trucks weren't happy that Den was telling them what to do. Back at the Dieselworks Dart was missing Den, but Mavis explained that as soon as she was repaired, Den could come back.

At the Quarry, Henrietta told Den to show the trucks who was boss. Then Den soon had the Quarry in order, and meanwhile Mavis was being repaired. Soon Mavis was repaired and headed back to the Quarry, and Den was happy to go back home.

My Thoughts

This was a good episode, and I like how the troublesome trucks talk and have expression in CGI.  It's also nice to see Den and Dart having stories in the T.V. series, and not just being character's to sell more trains.
