"Yay me!"

- Rebecca

Chucklesome Trucks is a magazine story illustrated using images from the CGI television series.

Plot
Early one morning, the Fat Controller arrives with a special job. Once the engines find out it involves pulling Troublesome Trucks, Thomas, Percy and James all chuff away leaving Rebecca with the job.

That night, the engines all take turns telling Rebecca how naughty the Troublesome Trucks can be. Thomas tells her of the time he was nearly run off the tracks, James was pushed into tar wagons and they pushed poor Percy into the sea. Emily warns Rebecca to be careful, but Rebecca isn't worried; she is looking forward to having her own fun and exciting adventure with the trucks.

The next day, Rebecca happily collects the trucks who sing a funny song as they are pulled along. Every time they sing the word "bump", they give Rebecca a bash. Rebecca doesn't find their behaviou troublesome at all. When James passes her, he is so busy laughing about the trouble the trucks will cause Rebecca, that he crashes into some tar tankers again!

Thomas is so shocked by how easily Rebecca is managing the trucks that he misses a signal and ends up running late. Percy is so busy worrying about Rebecca that he runs into a huge puddle.

By the time Rebecca reaches her destination, the Troublesome Trucks have fallen silent. They have never met an engine who enjoys pulling them before. That evening, the Fat Controller comes to tell his engines how annoyed he is with all their carelessness. The only engine he praises is Rebecca who just smiles.
