The Vicarstown Dieselworks is a set of sheds and repair yard that serves diesel engines. It is the diesel equivalent of the Sodor Steamworks.

History

The Dieselworks is located in a quarry-like area, not far from Vicarstown. When it was first introduced, the Dieselworks was run down and shabby, with insufficient and damaged equipment. After a fire broke out in the main building, it was rebuilt. Den, Dart and Diesel 10 live and work at the Dieselworks, with the former two acting as head diesels.

The company's logo is a picture of a diesel engine, of similar appearance to Den's class. Both Den and Dart have this logo on their liveries.

In the nineteenth series, the small warehouse, that serves as an extension to the main Dieselworks building, is shown to house a large smelting foundry, where all the broken parts are melted down and reused again, to build new parts.

In the twenty-third series, the diesels got trapped in the sheds during a busy period and remained trapped the next morning, however they were later freed.
