Thomas says he can see Paxton, but Paxton tells him it is the other diesels that have disappeared.

Diesel, 'Arry, Bert and Sidney are also other members of this class. It's not long before Paxton spots some steam in the distance. Believing it to be the lost puff, Paxton sets off to locate it. When he arrives at the bridge, he sees that the steam is coming from Gordon, who is pulling the express. Then, Paxton sees something which he also believes could be the lost puff above Ulfstead Castle. When he arrives, a rather confused Stephen points out that it is just a cloud. Paxton feels foolish and rattles away to continue his search. As he rolls along, Paxton has an idea and decides to pay Victor a visit at the Sodor Steamworks; after all, Victor knows all about steam engines.The first time the Skarloey Railway engines interact with standard gauge engines other than Thomas and James since the fifth series.

After colliding with Sidney when the latter broke down at the Blue Mountain Quarry, both diesels realised the parts were meant for Sidney.

Derek is a jolly, enthusiastic diesel engine, keen on making an impression, who was brought in to assist Bill, Ben and BoCo at the China Clay quarry.

As a result, he spends many a day having his engine tended to, which is unfortunate since he really wants to work hard. However, Derek is a likeable chap and even Bill and Ben decided that they liked him due to his friendly nature. Derek has an infectious charisma, is keen to help anyone around him and has a passion for sorting things out in a jiffy - if his cooling system lets him.Spooky Shape, Perfect Percy, Snow Drop, Ben's Blunder, Pop Goes the Diesel and Squeak, Rattle and Roll A few days later, Thomas goes to the Steamworks.

Paxton finds Thomas, who is still at the water-tower, and tells him that he intends to find the missing puff. Thomas is very confused, but Paxton has already raced away.Diesel has travelled at well over his basis' top speed of 15 miles per hour on numerous occasions in the television series.
