"Thanks, such pleasant words coming from a steamie."
(Since Diesel 10's claw was referenced in the fantasy sequence I decided to edit a scene where Rebecca meets him.)
Diesel 10: "Knock off the silliness! We have a job to do!" (takes the ballast wagons to the section near Henson Junction, he and the track crew get to work replacing the ballast with Paxton's assistance) Paxton: "I didn't think you could handle ballast wagons so well, Diesel 10." Diesel 10: "Having a beefy V12 has its advantages, Paxton. That's why I was renamed Angus." Paxton: "So, how will we do this, Angus?" Angus: "We'll move the wagons in lots of three. You move the wagons, I'll set the ballast as needed." Later... Rebecca: "Morning, Paxton. Diesel 10?!!?" Paxton: "Morning, Rebecca." Angus: (smiles warmly) "Morning, Mrs. Gresley." Rebecca: "You know about me and Gordon?" Angus: "Everyone knows that. You look a lot better in green than yellow." Rebecca: "Thank you..." Angus: "If I was from the Southern Railway, I'd go with that Bulleid Green too. Please, call me Angus." Rebecca: "Well, Angus, what's your arm for?" Angus: "I'm mostly on track maintenance and scrap sorting duties, so the teams prefer my arm and its attachments for the these jobs." Rebecca: "Well, it's certainly unique to have your capabilities. I've met a few diesels who are similar to you." Angus: "I take it you met my brothers, Van, Josh and Chuck." Rebecca: "I have. Do any of your siblings have a claw like you?" Angus: "Only my brother Ragnar. I'm sorry for how my siblings and I treated you in the 60s." Rebecca: "That's history, Angus. Do you need any more ballast wagons?" Paxton: "We're running low. Could you ask Sir Richard to send some more please?" Rebecca: "I'll pop over to the Little Western and pick some up. I'll have to leave them in the siding with the work coaches, since it's only an hour before dusk." Paxton: "Already?" Angus' Arm Operator: (checks his watch) "That it is." Angus: "Well, we got two of the three tracks done. Thanks, Rebecca." Rebecca: "All in a day's work, boys." Angus: (driver fires up his modified V12 engine, lets it idle to build up air pressure) "Okay, people. Pack it up for tonight. We'll finish up this section tomorrow."
Later at the sheds...
Gordon: "Evening, darling." Rebecca: "Evening, honeybunch." (they share a kiss) Emily: "I hear you had an encounter with Diesel 10." Rebecca: "I met him and Paxton doing track work near Henson Junction. I gave him a compliment on his hydraulic arm, and he said that I look great in this Bulleid green paint." Henry: "Did he now? I thought that was Gordon's job." Peter: "Looks like our Mighty Gresley has some competition." Gordon: "Hey!" (Peter, Henry, Emily, Alice, Lilly, Alfred, Tornado and Remembrance laugh) Peter: "I'm just teasing, Gordon." Gordon: (chuckles) "Well-played, Peter. Rebecca, did Diesel 10 really say that about your paint?" Rebecca: "Yes, and he said that he'd do the same if he was from the Southern Railway." Alice: "Not to point fingers, but I thought he hated steam engines." Rebecca: "He and I made amends this afternoon. He was renamed Angus, which fitting for a beefy engine. He's a much better diesel now."
