Fuss and Fumes

"Squawking seagulls! You'll need a wash before you go on show!"

- Cranky

Fuss and Fumes is a magazine story.

Plot
Daisy is waiting at a junction when Bill and Ben rattle past blowing dust and soot all over her. Next moment, Henry rattles past running on bad coal and billowing smoke everywhere, streaking and staining Daisy's windows. Later Daisy is at the washdown when she receives some good news from the Fat Controller. She is going to take part in a Railway Exhibition on the Mainland and she will travel there by boat. The Fat Controller has arranged for Arthur/Gordon to pull her to the Docks, but Daisy tells him she would rather go by road, so she does. Her trip by road is not as clean as she had hoped: she is covered in smoke by George and Elizabeth. Daisy decides that, Steamies or no Steamies, next time she will stay on the tracks.
