Thomas attempts to move Diesel's trucks, unaware that Paxton, Den and Dart are posing as some of them. While practicing his shunting, Thomas encounters Diesel, who is also shunting. She then asks him if he is any good at shunting and tells him to take part in the shunting challenge.

After Thomas tells Ashima about the idea he had and wishes that he was different, she tells him that he does not need to change anything about himself. Unfortunately, Thomas is annoyed when this idea is instead given to James and Emily and then when he sees Ashima pulling Annie and Clarabel. The Fat Controller sees Thomas, who reveals his other plan to be brightly painted. Also, Diesel reveals his plan at the Dieselworks after getting some large crates from Cranky at the docks, he attempts to have Paxton, Den and Dart covered in the crates and pretend to be trucks so as to make it look like Diesel is pulling them and get himself a spot in the Great Railway Show. Meanwhile, Gordon is at the Steamworks being streamlined when Thomas comes in, asking Victor to have him brightly painted for the Great Railway show.

Ashima tries to ask some of the other engines about how to get to the mainland (to no avail) and takes Annie and Clarabel instead. After the two coaches state about how beautifully painted she was, this gives Thomas another idea and he leaves them in a siding. After Thomas gets embarrassed by Annie and Clarabel after they tell her he wants to go to the Great Railway Show, he wonders why she is competing. Unfortunately, he later encounters Ashima while he is pulling Annie and Clarabel having missed the boat, she also does not know how to get to the mainland by herself. Thomas later tells Percy and Philip about Ashima, to which Philip tells Thomas that engines like her are nothing but trouble. After the engine apologizes for accidentally bumping him, Salty says thank you to her on Thomas' behalf (to Thomas' embarrassment) and asks her name, to which she introduces herself as Ashima. The engine however quickly rescues Thomas, who soon complains about how the mainland engines apparently think they are better than everyone else. However, the spot is actually for one of the engines who ends up getting left behind and accidentally bumps into Thomas and he nearly falls overboard. As the engines head back to the boat, Thomas is bumped by one of them and attempts to join them after finding an empty space. One of the engines reveals that they have come for the Great Railway Show, though a dock worker tells them that it is taking place on the mainland. Soon, a ship arrives at the docks and several engines come out of it. Thomas suggests this to The Fat Controller, only to be dismayed when he decides to do this to Gordon. Caitlin soon passes Thomas, which gets him thinking about what if he were to be streamlined just like she is which may make him faster. This gets Thomas thinking that he could be chosen if he could prove that he is as fast as The Flying Scotsman. While upset about possibly not going to it, Thomas is told by Philip that he could go if he were to put his mind to it. Unfortunately, Thomas gets teased for wanting to compete in it due to his size. With The Great Railway Show coming up, all of the engines attempt to get the Fat Controller to take them to it. Gordon states a dislike in entering in a competition alongside engines like his brother, though Thomas states that he himself would love to.

Gordon annoyingly introduces the engine as his brother, The Flying Scotsman who mentions that he will be racing in The Great Railway Show, a competition taking place on the mainland to see which engine is the best (in events such as in racing or strength). There, he sees a large green engine with two tenders. After 'beating' him, Thomas soon arrives at Vicarstown. While pulling the local (a slow passenger train that stops at all stations from Knapford to Vicarstown), Thomas hears Gordon's whistle and attempts to race him (despite Annie and Clarabel's attempts to warn him against doing so).
