"Aim and twirl!"

- Darcy

Deep Trouble is a magazine story illustrated using images from the CGI television series.

Plot
One morning, Thomas is taking Jack and Alfie along his branchline. They are going to help turn an old lead mine into a visitor park. When they arrive, Jack and Alfie join the rest of the vehicles on the site. Each vehicle is given its own job; Max and Monty have to remove the rubble from the site.

Unfortunately, Max and Monty soon get bored of their work and decide to take a short-cut across the old mine shafts. Darcy warns them that they might be too heavy, but Max and Monty ignore her. As they travel over the mines, suddenly the ground gives way under Monty and he falls into the resulting hole. Max is very worried about his brother and imagines him falling through the floor again and again until he reaches Australia!

Miss Jenny knows exactly what to do and sends Darcy to tunnel her way through to Monty. Everyone cheers as Darcy comes back out of the hole, towing Monty behind her. Monty and Max are very grateful, but it is all in a day's work for Darcy.
