- “Steamies are fast, Steamies are first!”
- ― Thomas
Don't Go Back is the fourteenth episode of the twelfth season.
Plot
Thomas and Diesel are to load and shunt trucks of stone for Henry, but they get sidetracked when Diesel claims Diesels are faster than steam engines - and declares a backwards race to prove it. Unfortunately, the three heats (which end in a draw) cause Mavis, 'Arry, and Bert to be derailed after Thomas and Diesel collides with them. When Henry arrives, none of the trucks have been loaded. While Thomas arranges the train and collects Rocky to put Mavis, 'Arry, and Bert back on the rails, Diesel clears away the mess from the races. When the two are done, Diesel challenges Thomas to another race, which Thomas orders to be forward. This time, both arrive at the quarry gates at the same time.
