No Trouble for Terence

No Trouble for Terence is a magazine story.

Plot
One day, Bill and Ben are bringing trucks to the harbour like usual when they see Terence on the hillside. Bill and Ben tease him by saying they can go to the harbour and back before Terence has crossed the field.

Meanwhile, James is coming along the other line. He whistles to both the twins and Terence. James jokes that if he did not slow down, they would not have seen him due to how fast he goes. In the shed that night, James says that if the engines ran as slowly as Terence, the railway would run very late. It is a windy night but the wind dies down by morning.

As James makes his way down the line, he passes the field Terence was in yesterday. Suddenly, James has to stop as a tree has been blown down in front of him. Bill and Ben arrive behind James and tell him to get a move on. Soon, the three engines see Terence arrive. A rope is secured between the tree and Terence and he pulls as hard as he can to clear the line. The three engines thank Terence and apologize for what they said yesterday.
