“I always call him Boxy, now he does me a good turn!"”
― Diesel

One Good Turn is a magazine story. The first part of this story is titled Showing Off.

Plot[]

Toby feels very sorry for what has happened with Diesel and the trucks at the quarry, yet the Fat Controller is very cross. He also tells Diesel that if this continues, he will be sent away. Toby interrupts and tells the Fat Controller that there were stones underneath the trucks' wheels and that he did not tell Diesel. The Fat Controller lets the matter rest for the time being and that Diesel can thank Toby for it. 

Diesel has no idea on how to thank Toby for helping him, and he can not seem to get the matter off his mind. The more he tries to forget about Toby, the more he stays on his mind, and Diesel begins to regret not thanking Toby.

Then, one day, coal is waiting to be collected at the harbour, and Diesel gets the idea to take the coal to Toby. He shows Toby the trucks full of coal, and tells him that it is his way of saying thank you. Toby is pleased and thinks that maybe Diesel is not so mean after all.
