Head On is a magazine story. The second part of this story is titled Pulling Together.

Plot

Bill and Ben are tank engine twins working at the china clay pits that run across from there to the harbour yard. They also like to cause pranks and they are the most mischievous engines as well. Bill and Ben are great friends. They laugh and have fun together but they also have been known to be stubborn as well.

One day, the Fat Controller tells Bill and Ben to come to the big yard. There is a lot of trucks to be shunted and he needs their help. Bill and Ben do not mind, as they love to have a change of scenery and a chance to see the other engines. They meet up with BoCo who is not fooled by their trickery. The twins set to work and when the trucks are ready, they have to go around the turntable.

Bill goes first and thinks it is great fun that he does not want to get off. The signalman stops the turntable and tells Bill to get off. He does so but Bill is on the wrong track towards Ben and they are heading towards each other! Luckily the twins stop, but they become stubborn. None of them want to back down and that start an argument. The Fat Controller is cross to see them being silly.
